The stunning surroundings and serene mountain air of Banner Elk await you with open arms here at Fox Run Retreat, so take that long-awaited ski getaway and rest easy. Step inside and you will be greeted with the warm wood accents, tall ceilings, and wonderful mountain views from nearly every room on the second floor of the home. Mornings and evenings can easily be spent on the spacious deck, as a fire table and seating away for you to reminisce with loved ones. When everyone returns to home base after a full day of fun, the great room will be just the place to kick back and watch a favorite show by the warmth of the gas fireplace. Plus, the chef of the group will be in paradise with all of the appliances and utensils needed to whip up a warm meal in the full kitchen!

When it is time to hit the hay, this home is comprised of two spacious floors and four bedrooms. The main bedroom is located on the main floor and boasts a king bed, mountain views, and an ensuite bathroom. Make your way downstairs and you will find three more bedrooms, all of them featuring queen beds. Plus, a bonus room is also downstairs with two desks to get some remote work done if need be!

What's nearby:
Though you will feel like you are tucked away from it all, this home is in a perfect location to get some privacy while still being close to all of the best attractions. If you happen to be visiting in winter, the skiers will love heading just over a mile north to Beech Mountain Ski Resort or seven miles south to Sugar Mountain Resort, Inc. Come summer the hiking and biking trails in the area are amazing and Grandfather Mountain State Park is home to the Mile High Swinging Bridge 14 miles from home base. Not to mention, the heart of Banner Elk offers a plethora of dining and shopping options.

Things to know:
Free high-speed WiFi
4WD/traction may be required in winter

Great Getaway!

This is a lovely property with gorgeous views. There is plenty of space to accomodate a larger group. Loved having a dedicated office area where some of us could work and still sneak in a little fun too!

Plenty to do nearby but no need to leave this deck!

The home was clean, had a gorgeous view and was so convenient to Banner Elk and the top of Beech Mountain. We visited many sites but I could have stayed on the deck all day long.

Great little getaway

Had a wedding at the overlook barn. This place was right down the road. Perfect location of a quick weekend trip. Few little minor things on our trip but that’s typical. Customer service was great as well. Would totally recommend this place.

Lovely view

We only stayed for the weekend for a baseball tournament. Really didn't get to enjoy the home, but it was nice. Great view, beautiful area. Had a few annoyances with the home which is why I only rated it 4 stars. Things that should have been noticed by people cleaning and fixed before anyone else uses the property.

Amazing View

This home was lovely. One of my favorite things was driving right up to the front, no steps to navigate while taking everything inside. The home is beautiful and comfortable and the view from the deck is gorgeous; we even had a rainbow over the mountains during our stay. We saw deer every day in the neighborhood. Loved shopping at Fred's Mercantile and there are several good restaurants nearby. Our stay was wonderful and I highly recommend this home.

Water pipes/ refund they told us we'd get.

Water was frozen all weekend and they told us they'd give us a night free stay and move us into a just as good, if not better place and tried to put us in a shack 45 minutes away from where we were staying. Also all the dishes from the previous stay were still in the dish washer and not put away. Still no refund or anything 2 weeks later after I called a week ago and VRBO said I would get a text or message saying something.

Excellent Location and Amazing Views

The cabin was very nice and had everything necessary for a week long stay. The amenities were great and the location to Beech Mt Ski Resort was very close, Sugar Mt Ski Resort was a short drive also. The minor issues with lighting were quickly resolved. The only complaint I have is the bar stools are quite short, the dining room table chairs need to have the legs tightened and there is only 1 television and it’s quite dated.

Wonderful house

Weekend stay for a girls weekend. We enjoyed the home and locations. Gated community and a garage were perfect and a safe feeling. Plenty of room for all of us. The only thing missing was a few more towels, pot holders and tvs in the bedrooms. Only one room with tv. Had difficulty getting into the home with the codes but once we contacted them, they assisted in a timely manner

Fabulous view, cozy house

The view is awesome in a clear day. House was nice, furniture comfortable. The seating and fireplace in living room was so warm and cozy. Large dining table. The kitchen description in the listing is overrated- If you are a cook, bring your own frypan and bakeware. Also advise bringing a couple of extra blankets for the bed. Driving to The house the road has a number of tight turns, the lane is narrow, but all is doable if you take your time. Eleven in the rain clouds obscuring the view a couple of days, we enjoyed this mountain home.

Lovely Retreat

We really enjoyed Mountain Perch. The view is fantastic with Grandfather Mountain almost in the center of 180 degree mountain expanse. The home itself is well maintained & comfortable. We would have liked to have had a cheat sheet on how the inside gas fireplace worked. On our second day we found an owner’s manual for the fireplace. We may be the only people in the US without cable TV so it took us a while to figure that out also. Vacasa staff were quick to help us enter the house via key access when the code & recoding the lock failed. They also came promptly with propane gas for the fire pit table & grill.
