Relaxing Stay!
Very cute little cottage! Hot tub was a nice addition as well as porch fire table. Inside decor is very well done. The outside areas and furniture could use some updating for sure.

Just what we needed!
The stay was great! Views are amazing, especially from the hot tub. We had quite a bit of snow while there which was great for snowboarding. We managed to still be able to get in and out with no problem driving an AWD vehicle. Beds were comfy and owner was great about checking in on us. Very unique property that is great for larger families or multiples families. Plenty of room to explore on this unique property.

Great place!
I really loved everything about this house, especially all the different outdoor seating areas. Beds were very comfy, well appointed furnishings. If you do not have to walk your dog, it is a fabulous place. Though you have lots of privacy, it is on a road that is not conducive to walking.

Wish we stayed longer
Really eclectic and relaxing chalet, 2 nights felt too short to really take advantage of all the amenities, both on the property and in the surrounding areas. Everything was top notch with the accommodations, just a beautiful place. I hope to return and experience some more zen.

Beautiful property. Perfect for a mountain getaway.
My family of six had the pleasure of staying in this mountain home for a weekend getaway. The property was beautiful and clean. The kids especially loved the game house and lower level bedroom. We made s’mores and memories by the fire pit. The owners attention to small details in the home was wonderful. From the decor to the thoughtful things around the house it was obvious they want their guests to feel welcome and comfortable. I would recommend this property for other travelers and definitely keep it in mind should we return to Banner Elk again.

Great week in the mountains
The house had many bonus features such as the sauna, hot tub, and game house. We had great weather, but had we not, it was an added bonus to have a number of things to do at the house had the weather not allowed for us to hike daily. There was also a nice selection of board games for the kids and TVs in every bedroom as well as both the living room and game room. The house is situated right down the way from multiple restaurants in Banner Elk. If you plan to hike at Grandfather Mountain it is only about 25-30mins away as is Roan Mountain. Linville Falls and Linville Wilderness Gorge area are also within 40mins drive. We had a great time and the house was a wonderful base to return to after a long day of hiking or kayaking. The beds were all very comfortable and there are two nice showers.

A Lovely Getaway
The view from the hot tub and front porch is awesome! A Christmas tree farm up on the hill and ole' glory flying above it. The house is in the shade for the afternoon/evening and it was nice and cool with the breeze. Hot tub was perfectly clean and working. Beds comfortable. The only thing we noticed is that the outside chairs could have used a wipe down. Fun place for all ages. Just a few minutes from downtown Banner Elk.

Country oasis
I recently stayed at this beautiful rental and couldn't have been more pleased. The property was immaculate, reflecting a high standard of cleanliness that made me feel immediately comfortable. The decor was tasteful, adding to the overall appeal of the space. We enjoyed morning coffee & meals on the giant porch. Additionally, it was well-equipped with everything I needed, from kitchen essentials to high-speed Wi-Fi. The comfy beds, attention to detail and thoughtful amenities truly enhanced my stay. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-notch rental experience!

Quirky but awesome
House has a lot of deck levels and outbuildings. The stone showers were a first! The sauna was great and the deck views were wonderful. Had an issue with the hot tub in removing the soft cover and leaves getting into the hot tub. The owners and manager responded within literally minutes. They sent someone over right away and it was cleaned by the time that we returned to the house an hour later. The fireplaces and the firepit on the deck were wonderful when the temps got down into the 40s. They literally thought of everything regarding cooking and even laundry supplies. We would definitely stay here again.

Birthday Weekend Getaway
The property was great and the location amazing. We enjoyed all the quirks of the property. Place was clean and organized. Everything was well labeled and easy to navigate. There were two negatives for me: first the bed I slept in was older and squeaked when you moved. The bed appeared to be an older mattress box spring with a foam topper, causing me to sleep in a hole. The other disappointment was the sauna. One of the reasons we wanted to stay there was for the sauna and hot tub. The hot tub was great. We tried several times to use the sauna. it only worked one morning for an hour. the rest of our stay we could not get it to get warm. There was a manual in the house rules binder, but it only told you what the buttons were for and not hoe to get it working. It was very frustrating and disappointing. the owner was very good about responding to any issues, but I didn't want to spend my whole weekend conversing about how to get the sauna to work. I think there should be instructions about how to work the sauna, because it seems to be a complicated system. I would recommend the property. it was perfect for our trip.

Spectacular Views
My family really enjoyed this property. The view was absolutely stunning!! The house is very roomy and cozy. The game room was a bonus! The only thing that didn’t feel like home was the cleanliness. We had to sweep the floors upon arriving. The table was sticky. Appliances were left uncleaned. The floors needed mopping terribly. Windows and mirrors had greasy fingerprints. Expired food left behind on coffee bar. Staircase was filthy and slippery. All outside sitting areas hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. That was the only disappointment.

Absolutely AMAZING Home
Honestly what you see if what you get and then some! The house was so perfect in every way. Amazing views, privacy and so much to do on the property. We brought our husky and she was in heaven. We got lucky and a snow storm had come through right before we arrived so we were able to enjoy some snow fun for a couple days. The hot tub was so clean and the entire house very well kept with all the items you need to enjoy your stay. The owners were very responsive and on top of everything. We will be booking again! Highly recommend.

We are drawn to the beauty and coolness of this part of Western North Carolina. We finally realized a life long dream and purchased this home to spend time in the area and to share it with you ! Come on up and enjoy all this home and this area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This is a private setting with plenty of areas to congregate with family and friends, or just spend a romantic time together enjoying the quiet and the views from the deck or in the hot tub at sunset.
The area has so much to offer! With restaurants, wineries and breweries, waterfalls and hiking trails, antique shopping, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, fishing, art galleries, snow skiing and winter activities, local crafts and festivals within minutes.

Grandfather Mountain with its swinging bridge and breathtaking views are a must see.

Linville Falls are the most gorgeous falls in the South.

Take a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of the most scenic drives in America and let the mountains take your cares away.

We are located between Beech and Sugar Mountain Ski resorts with activities for kids and adults alike.

Wildcat Lake is within 5 minutes for swimming and a fishing pier, reel in that trout for dinner!

Banner Elk itself is a charming town with great food and a small town atmosphere.

Boone and Blowing Rock are close by for excellent dining and shopping experiences.

See Ashe County Cheese being made in nearby West Jefferson.

You will find farm to table restaurants, local crafts and produce.

Visit orchards, alpaca farms and choose and cut your own Christmas tree!

There are gem mines in the area and Tweetsie Railroad is a popular family attraction.

The list goes on! I can provide you with all the information you need for your tastes for the most satisfying vacation experience.

Relax, Refresh, Rejuvenate and Enjoy!!
