About this property

Walk to downtown Banner Elk, Excellent Views, 1BD 1BA

Welcome to “Banner Views II”, our second home we rent to guests, referrals, and friends!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Banner Elk, Banner Views II boasts amazing views of the valley, Sugar Mountain, and peak-a-boo views of Grandfather Mountain. This newly remodeled mountain cabin features, one bedroom and one bath plus a pull out sleeper sofa. Amenities include an oversized front porch overlooking the valley and sugar mountain, gas fireplace, cable TV, wifi, brand-new TVs (2), full-sized washer/dryer, and stainless appliances. A queen bed and a queen sleepater/sofa will accommodate up to 4 adults. With brand new flooring, custom wood ceiling, fresh paint, and all new furniture, the cabin is a fantastic place for a family vacation, romantic getaway, or girl’s weekend.

The cabin is a two minute walk to 10+ restaurants in downtown, a five minute walk to Lees-McRrae College, and a quick 10 minute walk to Kettell Beerworks. Also a two minute walk is the local park, hosting live music on Thursdays in the summer, various art festivals throughout the year (including the inaugural Beerfest), and the famous Wooly Worm Festival.

We are nicely situated between two ski resorts; Sugar Mountain is 10 minutes one way and Beech Mountain is ten minutes the other way. Walk to local favorite Edge of the World for a second-to-none white water rafting experience.

Best banner elk cabin

We had such a great time. The property is located within walking distance of the town and so many great restaurants. Also close to both beech mountain and sugar mountain if you’re looking for a great place to stay for a ski trip! We will definitely be back!

Great location. But we found a few issues others should know. Parking and getting in and out is a problem as the driveway is very small and tight. The steps leading into the unit are in poor repair and hazardous. We couldn’t find a thermostat anywhere in the unit and the AC blew cold air when we didn’t need it. The laminate flooring was sticky when walking on bare feet and the cleanliness was questionable.
