About this property
FREE nights in Sept - Home w/ hot tub, fire pit, walk to Banner Elk, pets OK
Ask about FREE nights in September. Laurel Cottage combines the tranquility of mountain air and untouched nature with an ideal location near quaint downtown Banner Elk. We are ideally located 15 minutes from Beech and Sugar Mountains. Banner Elk is home to local festivals, amazing restaurants, parks, alpine coaster, local breweries & Lees McRae College. Within a short drive access the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mtn and Blowing Rock. End the day with the sunset from the deck or cozied up to the gas fireplace. We have recently added a new hot tub located under the stars on our property. It is the perfect location to end the day after a long hike or day on the slopes. Because of this addition, we have added security cameras at the front and back entrance to the house. The hot tub can be viewed by the camera. This is for security only. It is activated by motion and will be monitored when we have unexpected motion. We expect motion during a rental and we will respect your privacy at all times.

About the host
Hosted by Laurie Tardif/Shelley Bell
Our family (plus the 4-legged members) loves the mountains and beach. You'll always find us outside enjoying nature, climbing the Profile Trail at Grandfather Mountain or checking out Linville Gorge. The dog park at the Banner Elk town park is a favorite, as is the one at Beech Mountain. And some live music outdoors is a great way to end a day of mountain fun.
Why they chose this property
We are so close to many mountain attractions and activities. Within a half hour's drive, you can hike, ski, mountain bike, ride an alpine coaster, visit quaint towns, catch a college football game at Appalachian State, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and eat in amazing restaurants with local cuisine.
What makes this property unique
We are in a unique location. Enjoy the privacy and peacefulness of our setting, but also the convenience of our closeness to town. Walk to a local brewery or an outdoor concert. Then retreat back to your tranquil cottage.
