Location: Banner Elk, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (Midway Between Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain Ski Resorts) View Map
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 2-5)
LUXURIOUS cottage with beautiful wood beams and bark construction atop an original stone foundation for a "potato house".
Boulders surround this unique place, with a PRIVATE HOT TUB hidden away from the road, but not from the view of Grandfather Mountain!
Situated just outside Banner Elk and a neighboring VINEYARD, this gem is situated amidst a 43 acre farm that has been preserved through a conservation easement.
From the front porch, there is a tremendous pastoral view with Grandfather Mountain is the distance. This view is so striking it has been used in commercial calendars.
The cottage overlooks a tranquil farm scene with a beautiful barn and pond across the road.
Private trails climb behind the cottage to the back side of Beech Mountain, while a unique walk through the Rhododendrum thicket below the pasture lies in front of you.

Owner's Map of Banner Elk
This property belonged to my Aunt and Uncle who were avid environmentalists. I fell in love with its beauty in college, and helped them establish an easement on the property so the peaceful feeling and incredible view would never be spoiled. I share this "potato house" with you so I can maintain this special place and protect it from development! I also like the local winery and restaurants!
