About this property

Laurel Creek Lodge - Pet Friendly! Pool table, hot tub, 2 acres, hiking trail with creek!

Welcome to Laurel Creek Lodge, your new favorite mountain getaway spot!

Enter the home with just a few steps on the beautifully maintained rock path from the parking area. Inside you'll immediately feel at home in the mountains due to the tasteful decor, huge wall of windows, and vaulted ceilings. Relax in leather furniture around the fireplace and catch your favorite shows, and the folks preparing meals don't have to miss out on the conversation thanks to the open layout! The kitchen offers beautiful granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a live edge wooden bar, and several stools, and the dining table seats 6.

Downstairs is an amazing entertainment room that's sure to be a hit with all ages! Play countless games of pool, watch all your favorite movies, and have fun. There is also a full bath on this level. Step outside to the firepit just outside the house, or enjoy smores in the second firepit down by the creek! Oh yes, the creek at the bottom of the hill is guaranteed to be a favorite of everyone in your group, with its peaceful sounds and splashing fun. And just down the street is the neighborhood catch & release fishing pond.

Time for bed? Laurel Creek Lodge offers 4 bedrooms. On the main level you'll find a King master bedroom with attached bathroom, as well as a Queen bedroom with a second nearby bathroom. Upstairs is a loft area and on either side of the loft you'll find a bedroom with two twin beds. Dual zones for the main level and the upper level allow you to all stay comfortable in any weather.

On the main level deck, have a seat in any of the many selections of outdoor furniture and relax in the peaceful woods. During the warmer months you're sure to hear lots of bird songs. You might even spot a squirrel or a deer in the trees! On the lower level patio, relax and enjoy the brand new (fall 2021) Bullfrog Spas hot tub!

Perfectly located between Valle Crucis and Banner Elk, just ten minutes from downtown Banner Elk, Laurel Creek Lodge will be your family's new favorite getaway for years to come!

Great mountain getaway!
Very nice, well appointed home with access to creek. The location is very private but not secluded. Had a small electrical issue when we arrived but the manager took care of it promptly. I would definitely stay here again.

*Secluded gateaway*
What an amazing place to spend time with the family and friends away from technologies and reconnect with nature. The moment we arrived the kids were gone exploring the near by area, the creek and the trail were a bit difficult to get to but the kid had no issues. The house was cleaned, with enough towels and with plenty of kitchen must have! the beds were very comfortable. We loved finishing the day around the fire pit and cook some smore, make sure to bring fire starter!!! As I read before in other reviews, the driveway in front of the cabin is pretty steep but we backed in all the time and had no issues getting out of it! We loved to be away from the crowd and this cabin checked every box, make sure to get from the local grocery everything you need before heading home as it is pretty far away from the town. Overall I would love to go back, we had a wonderful time!

Perfect Mountain House!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home. Everything was perfect! Well equipped, plenty of room, and great deck and yard! The creek and trail in the back was a nice bonus. Very cozy with enough room for everyone to spread out. Will definitely be back! Thank you for allowing our family to stay at your home.

Overall beautiful, clean spacious cabin and rental process
Had a great snowy weekend in this cabin! Everything inside was clean and spacious, very new and mountain vibes. Beds were very comfortable, even the twin beds. Hot tub was very well maintained, and perfect location under the upper deck for some protection from the elements without sacrificing the view. We arrived just ahead of a small snowstorm, and ended up being snowed in The driveway is very steep, and while the top was plowed down to the gravel, the bottom was not well plowed. I briefly got stuck with my AWD SUV with agressive tired, so we decided to park both cars at the top of the driveway. With the additional snow we got over the weekend, pretty sure chains would be required to get out from the bottom of the driveway near the house, or like we ended up doing, parking at the top and walking down to the house (short steep walk). Just FYI. Also, this cabin is about 30 mins from Beech Mtn, 12 miles, not the 2.6 listed in the description. Again, FYI. Overall, would definitely stay here again!

The place was great
Rented the cabin for the weekend for my girlfriends birthday and invited a couple friends as well. We had a great time! Our favorite thing about the place was definitely the hot tub but the beds were also great. Got some of the best sleep of my life in the master bed, the sheets and pillows were super comfortable.

We had a wonderful time not only at the cabin but in town at banner elk and the drive was beautiful. The property was so clean and there are lots of outdoor activities to do if you have children! The trails, creek and fire pits were very exciting for them!

Great Family Vacation Home
The Cabin was amazing!The property had everything you needed. We hiked in the back yard, explored the creek, walked to the pond, played pool and pac man! The drive way is steep and you have to navigate it carefully. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, they had toilet paper, towels and soaps available. It was a great investment for our family vacation. We slept 7 comfortably and had 10 people in the house at one time. It rained a lot but the games kept us occupied. 4 twin beds, 2 fold out twin futons, a queen and king bed 2 huge couches in the game room. Plenty of room. There is always things you think could be better, a big trash can down stairs, lots of hanging out happening there. A bathroom upstairs, but what can be done about that. 1 bathroom is in the master on the main floor , second bathroom is on main floor, that is where everyone goes and one down in the basement, all with showers. All in all GREAT!

Top o' the Mountain to Ya
Property was super clean, well appointed, and nestled in a beautiful spot on the mountain. The home is about 15min from town, but the drive is very easy. Check in was simple, and the Blue Ridge staff were friendly, helpful and wonderful. Definitely recommend the rental agency (we've used them previously) and the property.

Magical Mountain Getaway
Our family absolutely loved the home and the property. The home was super clean, well-stocked and there was plenty of room for our family of 6. The beds were comfortable and the view was pretty. The home was in a great location and my children loved exploring the property, trail and creek behind the home (and the video game table in the loft!). The house was everything we could’ve hoped for and more and we look forward to staying at this home again!

Clean but sleeping arrangements were less than desirable
The property was clean and nice. It had an overall new feeling. However, the HVAC unit could not maintain a comfortable temperature upstairs. The coolest it ever got was 76. It made it impossible for the kids to sleep upstairs so we had to relocate them to sofas downstairs. I could have just rented a 2 bedroom cabin instead. I’m not sure if the vaulted ceilings and windows make it difficult to maintain cooler temps upstairs? In addition, the mattress in the master bedroom is worn and not in good condition. We enjoyed the house during the day but our nights were not restful. Very frustrating as rest is part of a needed vacation.
