Charming Mountain Home with Views

MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YRS OF AGE TO BOOK

Londono's Paradise is a charming, 4BR mountain house with long-range views, a hot tub, a game room with an air hockey table, and a nice yard. This house sits just three miles from the slopes of Beech Mountain Ski Resort and less than three miles from downtown Banner Elk. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort is six miles away, and Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Ziplines is thirteen miles away. Grandfather Mountain is about 14 miles, and the towns of Boone, Blowing Rock, and Valle Crucis are less than thirty minutes away.

The main level features an open kitchen, dining area, a great room with wood floors, custom wood furniture, a gas fireplace, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows framing long-range views. Look straight across at the mountaintops and see the top of Sugar Mountain. The kitchen features granite countertops, black and stainless appliances, and a butcher-block center island with additional seating. The dining table is a live edge wood slab, and the dining table and adjacent island comfortably seat up to ten. The great room offers a gas log fireplace with a brick hearth, an HDTV, and expansive mountain views.

Venture out of the great room to the open-air patio where Adirondack seating surrounds a propane fire table. Around the corner off the dining area is a private outdoor living area with a vaulted overhead roof, a live-edge outdoor dining counter, a gas grill, and a porch swing. Below the open-air patio is a cozy lower deck with a big six-person hot tub. The big yard has a wood-burning fire pit and is perfect for sledding in wintertime and family fun all year round!

The main level has three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, an HDTV, and direct access to the bathroom. The bath, accessible from the hall, is equipped with a tub, shower, and double granite vanity. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, an HDTV, and mountain views. The third bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed with a twin trundle bed, an HDTV, and mountain views.

There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer downstairs. The game room/den has a huge HDTV, a DVD player, a jukebox with Bluetooth capabilities, and a cool air hockey table. The big bunk bedroom downstairs has two twin-over-full bunk beds, an electric fireplace, and windows with views. There is a full bathroom downstairs with a huge tiled shower and granite vanity. All five HDTVs have digital programming, and there is WiFi Internet. The main level has radiant heat throughout, and each room downstairs has individually controlled forced air heat. There is currently no air conditioning at Londono's Paradise. The temperature, however, rarely gets warm enough to need it, and the big windows and ceiling fans allow you to utilize the cool mountain breezes to keep the house comfortable.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (we allow up to 12 guests maximum):
Main Floor King Master Bedroom (sleeps 2)
Main Floor Queen Bedroom (sleeps 2)
Main Floor Bedroom with Twin over Full Bunk, with Twin Trundle (sleeps 3 comfortably, 4 maximum)

***Although the house can accommodate up to 15 in beds and trundles, we allow no more than 12 guests at any time***

There are three cameras at the property. The cameras are solely for security reasons. One camera is located over the garage of the house, looking at cars that come in. There is a second camera located in the front of the house near the front door looking out over the front of the house. A third camera, located in the back, monitors the back of the house. All of the cameras look outward. No cameras are looking toward the house, and no cameras are inside the house.

Thankful Thanksgiving Away!
We wanted a quiet Thanksgiving in which we didn't have to cook or host, and bonus was the light snow! A perfect getaway in the mountains.

Almost good enough...
OK property in nice location but 3 negatives: 1. on arrival the home had been closed up and the interior temp was in the 80's. Not enough fans or AC so the first night was a little rough. 2. the home is 30 yards from the main highway up to Beech Mountain which means heavy truck traffic and noise when you open the windows for air circulation. 3. we were charged a large cleaning fee but the property really needs a deep cleaning. Too much dust, cobwebs and rough edges throughout. The property has a wonderful deck with tremendous views.

Not stocked, not clean
Even with 2 toddlers and 4 additional children, I am certain we left this place cleaner then when we arrived. We were missing a trundle bed. We had 0 drinking glasses. We had a set of 8 silverware and 8 plates. This does not work for a cabin that advertises it holds 12 people. Dishes were brought 36 hours after check in. The trundle bed request was ignored. There were no directions for heat in the downstairs (it was 28 degrees at our arrival, the downstairs was probably 55 degrees). We were given directions later, but the heater is not childproofed... and its in the space that is set up for the kids. One garage door didn't work. The deck was covered in ashes from the previous renters fire outside. The fireplace inside did not work. And more so it was just disconnected and didn't have propane so that it couldn't be used by guests...but the house specifically states fireplace. We were given a credit instead. Based on the response to the fireplace request, I am pretty certain if you want to stay here, it still will be "out of order". And the most problematic, the entire house was SOOOO dusty. Dust balls underneath everything. The floor had not been cleaned (spilled drinks or food) upon our arrival. There were not enough places for 12 people to eat. The barstools might have counted, except they were broken.

Londonos paradise review
The house was dated and in need of updating. Fireplace was broken and nonfunctional, hot tub was filthy. Maintenance did come out and tried to fix fireplace but it didn't last. He also "cleaned " the hot tub, 4 adults used it once and it was not usable again. I contacted management company they wanted to charge me for another service to hot tub. They never showed up to fix the fireplace. They did give me a credit and apology for the fireplace. It was a great location and we had lots of fun playing in the snow, very convenient to skiing.

What a wonderful setting. The views and outdoor spaces are amazing
We loved the main living space, outdoor areas and the VIEW!! So gorgeous and relaxing. The house could have been cleaner and the bedrooms and rec room left a little to be desired in terms of furniture/decor. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location for skiing, needs deep clean
The proximity to Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain was fantastic and the view from the house is beautiful. We were very disappointed to find the hot tub not usable, as that was one of the reasons we picked the house. There was a gross brown scum on the water's edge. There were no cables to use the DVD player. The basement bedroom didn't have working heat and was freezing. Needed overall deep clean, ceiling fans, mantle, and end tables very dusty. Dead bugs in light over the stove. Dryer display turned on, but cycle would never start. We had to dry socks and mittens after playing in the snow on the fireplace. Nail coming up from floor tore hole in socks. We had to hammer it down. There were plenty of beds. We weren't confident that the queen bed's sheets were changed out prior to arrival. The sliding glass door for the shower is very rickety and felt like it was going to fall off. If these issues are addressed, the house would be a wonderful place to stay. You can't beat the short drive to Sugar Mountain, and to the free Beech Mountain sledding hill.

This property could use some updating, especially in the bathrooms. The downstairs bathroom towel rack was falling off the wall, the dishwasher seal came off every time we opened it, and the beds were not very comfortable. The most disappointing thing was that there was a layer of dust on most light fixtures, fireplace, tables, shelves etc... making us feel like the house was not very clean. There were spider webs in all corners of the rooms. The house location was superb, the hot tub was wonderful and the views were excellent.

Mountain Weekend
We rented the cabin for our annual mountain trip to Tweetsie Railroad. Cabin was perfect for us! Really enjoyed the porch and the amazing view and that the yard was big enough to build a fire in the fire pit! Kids enjoyed the small play house! There was also a Christmas parade in banner elk that we stubbled across that was a lot of fun! We will be back!

Family reunion
The property was big enough to accommodate our family reunion and has a well stocked kitchen for big family meals. The best features are the outside views from the deck. However, hardwired flood lights (no way to turn off) ruin the enjoyment the outdoors at night - obscuring the stars and attracting insects. The property manager never got got back to me by email for my request to turn off the lights.

Updates Needed
The location of this house is great and the views are exceptional!! The hot tub, fire pit & deck were the absolute best parts of this house. The photos online are much better than reality though. The refrigerator doesn’t cool properly so everything is mildly cool and not cold. The bathroom upstairs needs updating and downstairs smells of mildew & sewage. I’m sure it’s the lack of AC downstairs. That being said, if a few updates were done, the house could be a 5 star. We went in July, and I was worried about no AC. We didn’t need it though so that was a relief.

Great house for kids
With 3 couples and 5 children, we were very comfortable with the ample beds in this unique house. The kids loved the playhouse, the air hockey table and the backyard hill, which was perfect for rolling down. There was plenty of room for them (aged 3-8) to play outside, while the adults relaxed on the porch. The kitchen is updated, and, though not spacious, was enough for our needs. It’s well equipped with pots, pans, dishes, etc. The view of the mountains from the deck was beautiful, and the house feels secluded, though it really isn’t. The road is often noisy, but quiets down at night. Another reviewer commented on the musty smell downstairs, and I do have to say that it is noticeable, though certainly tolerable. It’s at its worst in the bathroom. It helped to turn on the dehumidifier and air conditioner (which is only downstairs). We would definitely stay at this house again, mainly because of the ample sleeping arrangements and view. The owners provided everything we needed, and were quick to respond when the lp gas tank ran out on the deck fire pit. Overall, a beautiful, comfortable place to stay.

Nice views and good location but house needs to be taken care better. Bathrooms are dated and have mold. It is probably due to lack of AC. Sinks and showers wouldn't drain properly. It looks much better on pictures than in a reality. Hot tub outside looks new and deck was nice so 2 stars.

From the time looking at the property online until we checked out everything went smoothly and just like advertised. The porch and living areas did look larger in pictures, but, were a good size for us. The game room was smaller than we had anticipated, but, suited the younger children.
