An awesome experience at a breathtaking view in Banner Elk

Perfect location, impeccably clean

Beautiful property located just 25 min outside downtown Boone. Impressively clean and organized home with all the kitchen equipment. The 3 families who stayed each had their own private spaces while the house was also cozy. We hope to return again!

Great for a girls getaway!

We rented this house for 10 of us to have a long girls weekend. The house was set up perfectly with lots of room. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked which worked well for us as we like to cook in most nights. The house may feel remote but it was an easy drive to banner elk and other locations. We loved Grandfather Vineyard for those looking for a day outing.

App-ECU weekend

We love this place. Very secluded. And the only thing I would think it was missing was a hot tub. Also, I would like a TV on the main floor. Instead of having to go to basement to watch TV. Thank you for a great stay!

From the time I made reservations until we arrived everything went smoothly and the information was well communicated. The cabin is beautiful and all 9 of us agreed that it was just perfect. This trip was what we call “hot flash “ weekend. There are 5 of us who are cousins and the other 4 were our daughters. It was so much fun. You have a great location for seeing the trees and mountains. This morning when we loaded our cars it was snowing!! Wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you very much,Kathy Craven

Beautiful home

This house was perfect for 10 adults. Plenty of room to spread out. All 5 of the adult children hung out downstairs and they had plenty if beds. The house was appointed with everything needed to make the stay comfortable including a well equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed the fire pit. The only negative is it’s about 20-25 minutes from any restaurants, stores or activities. If you don’t mind being a bit off the beaten path and winding roads, this house is perfect.

Great week away

Clearly a lot of thought went into preparing this home for guests and it paid off. Everything was clean and organized, and we found it a perfect space and set-up for 2 families. We spent mornings walking down the road to the creek, afternoons relaxing on the porch grilling, and evenings by the fire pit playing cornhole. The location was convenient to Grandfather mountain, the alpine coaster, and dining in Banner Elk. The road to the home is steep but honestly no steeper than any other road around. We would definitely recommend this home.

Overall great experience

Honestly I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Our 2 families found the layout perfect. Morning walks down the road to the creek, afternoons spent relaxing on the porch, evenings grilling outside by the fire pit while playing cornhole. Location was also good for us as we enjoyed Grandfather mountain, the alpine rollercoaster, and dining in Banner Elk, all nearby. Clearly a lot of thought went into this home and making it convenient for travelers. The drive up to the home was steep, but honestly it’s no steeper than anywhere else in this area you’ll be driving. We would definitely recommend this place.

Awesome Place

Pictures do not do this place justice. The house has plenty of room to spread out and the rooms downstairs give the kiddos plenty of their space so we could have adult time upstairs. The house was very clean, however two of the fitted sheets on two of the beds had large stains on them. We spoke with the team that manages the property and they swiftly took care of the issue. This property is 5*

Top. Of the mountain

Family came down from Ohio to Celebrate Daughter’s graduation from App State. We had plenty of room for 11 people. House was very well stocked with Kitchen utensils and cook where. Anything you needed was there. I forgot my Crock pot and was going to go buy one, they had it at the cabin. I would suggest to bring some TP with you and Paper towels, and Trash bags. We used the indoor fire place to take off the chill, and we loved sitting around the outdoor fire pit as well. Great place to stay!!

Wonderful home

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our recent trip. The house was gorgeous and suited our needs perfectly. It was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and then some. The numbered baskets with towels and bathroom supplies was so helpful, and the collection of games and air hockey table was enjoyed by all. My family is already asking when we can go back.
