Family ski trip

The cabin was a perfect fit for our family ski trip and comfortably accommodated 6 adults and 3 children. Kitchen was fully stocked for big family dinners. Driveway is definitely precarious for non-mountain drivers even without winter weather. Overall we loved our stay and would absolutely return in the future.

Good stay

It was a cozy cabin and we enjoyed our stay. It is a good getaway place to relax and chill. The only drawback was the dusty carpets, otherwise a perfect cabin for our trip.

Stay at Banner Elk

We had a great stay! The kids loved the bunk room, foosball table and electrical keyboard and we enjoy the choice of rooms! A lot of stairs for my littlest one, but we mainly stayed on the first two floors! Hot tub was also a great addition!

Banner Elk stay

Very roomy place with a beautiful view. Checking in requires a stop to access keys. Upon entrance of the home it was exactly as pictured however the place was not cleaned well. The property manager worked with me for a resolution. Be sure to check the water levels of the hot tub as ours was not filled with enough water. It’s a good location but we were not overly impressed with the amount of money we paid.

Great spring break vacation.

Great house for family with kids. Clean and wel maintained. Lots of hiking options nearby. Spring break was a quite time for the area this year. We enjoyed the quietness and remoteness.

Perfect spot for our family winter trip

This was the perfect property for us. Been to Banner Elk for many years, so we knew we wanted to be close to Beech Mountain for snowboarding and also downtown. Kids aged 6 to 8 had a blast; nice for them to be able to play downstairs separate from us adults. Hot tub was really nice. Most of all - the views!!! We were lucky to have some clear mornings and days to be able to see all those mountain tops. As far as location, views, comfort, and kid-friendly.... this place was perfect.

Great stay!

We loved the property! It was perfect for our group! We had 3 couples and we were in town for the weekend. It was a bit tricky for check in. We were told to go to the Banner Elk post office to get the community gate opener. Well we went there and there was no clicker in the mailbox. That was a bit confusing. So we headed to the house. It was dark by now and you need to know that when you drive on to the road the house is at, it looks like you are going on a neighbors driveway but you are not! It is a steep road so if you come in the winter make sure your car can take it. Overall it was a great experience!

Great time, great views

We had a great trip even though it rained two whole days! House has keurig and drip coffee. Pans are not great, neither are knives. House is gorgeous. Master on top floor was harder for my mom, so we benefited from that!! Driveway is very steep. Great location to many things to do in the area as well.

Outstanding view

This property was amazing and bigger than we expected. We took a nice COVID friends and family break it exceeded our expectations of a cabin! We all loved it. The only downfall and slight nusance was the need to stop at the post office for the gate code, but it is literally on your way to the house!! That was our only downfall from a whole weekend away! We all enjoyed it very much!
