Very friendly staff.
Ben and Jose are great
It's deer to my heart. It's one of the first resorts to come to the mtns. The people who live there as well as those that work there are like family to me. I love them all.
Wonderful place. As someone who has been a part of the team for 11 years. That speaks volumes. Members, home owners, and employees alike are all welcomed and treated as family. Not another place like it!
I work on site for a construction company, but my experience with all of the staff that I have been in contact with are very nice and always helpful.
We are members here. Love everything about this place: gorgeous valley setting with mountain views, beautiful golf course that has risk-reward but doesn't beat you up, great restaurant, wonderful staff, incredible Fourth of July celebration for families every year, and quick access to Boone and Blowing Rock. Hound Ears is classy and kid friendly.
Visited for a round of golf. The course is in immaculate condition. Groundskeepers are very courteous. All staff members are extremely helpful.
The Hound Ears Club was relatively easy to find and the location is absolutely gorgeous! It's amenities are very nice and everyone we've met during our stay has been friendly and helpful.
My experiences are from the mid 1990's but may serve as some historical insight. My wife and I visited Hound Ears twice..Both times over the Christmas holiday. We had to make reservations months in advance as at the time they had a very small number of guests who were there and as I recall, they were only open for 2 weeks or so during that period of time.
At any rate, the experience as a whole, or viewed individually, as culinary, service, facility, staffing and/or atmosphere all received the same rating from both myself and my wife. 5 Stars.
While there we met some incredible people who had come from all over the world to stay there only over the Christmas holiday. Of course I don't want to exclude the owner of several Ford dealerships from our home town, Ft. Lauderdale FL who we met the first night there.
To give you an idea of the service, as we sat down in front of the huge fireplace and watched the mountains through the beautiful windows overlooking part of the golf course (closed at this time) my wife ordered a drink a portion of which included whipped cream on the top. As the service person delivered the drink, a Chef in immaculate white uniform and tall starched hat came up the spiral staircase at a fast clip with a genuine goat or sheep skinned piping bag, full of freshly made whipped cream which he expertly applied to my wife's beverage. Andthe whipped cream, regardless of the presentation was EXCELLENT!
We're going back up there this week to look around and see if anyone we knew from our prior two trips still works there. I hope we find it as we left it. Mixed with the heavy snow that occurred both times we were there and the wonderful staff, facility and other guests, this is a remarkable place that was perfectly able to provide you with incredible experiences you might remember for a lifetime.
