Why the Owner Chose Banner Elk
We just loved the spaciousness of this home. It will house a crowd without getting in each other's way. It also feels like it's all by itself when really it's very close to everything. You can be at the ski slopes in 5 minutes or less. It just feels like home!
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy the peacefulness, like watching the hummingbirds fly back and forth to the feeder all day. Curl up in front of one of the fires and read a good book. Who cares if you fall asleep! Cook to your hearts content in our spacious kitchen or (my favorite) go out to dinner at one of the many restaurants close by. Ski or snowboard until you're worn out! Go on a picnic or hike or try fishing. (Check out the picture of Calvin and his big fish!)Scoot around to the local stores-- craft,antique, clothing, the great Mast General Store etc. Ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway and be sure to visit the Moses Cone house and their wonderful craft shop. Visit Grandfather Mountain or Tweetsie. Book a horseback ride or drive down the road to Crossnore and visit the school and weaving room. Attend one of the quaint churches. Drive to Boone and discover its great downtown or go to downtown Blowing Rock and to the outlets. Play golf at the oourse right on Sugar Mountain! Go to the nearby Bristol race or take a day trip to the Biltmore House in Asheville. There are many, many things to enjoy but don't forget to sit in the swing or glider in the morning and/or at the end of the day and just enjoy creation! What more could anyone want?

We certainly enjoyed our stay in your comfortable home. The fish were jumpin' and the mountains were high! Your views were wonderful and we had lots of sunshine to enjoy them. It is our hope to return again in the future. N Cawood

This works wonderfully for us. We just couldn't believe it. We tried to get y'all's house again but it was gone. We had used VRBO for trips to the islands and Breckenridge, so I thought I'd just check and there you were! Our good fortune! C Parker * Previous renter thru an agent and introduced us to VRBO!
