This getaway cabin is perfect for a couple. Location to downtown Banner Elk is perfect. Great year round from Summer fun, Fall leave season, to Winter ski season without worry of getting Fog or snowed in as a result of perfect location. I wish I owned it!!!

This property is almost brand new. Great for two couples with pretty much two master bedrooms. Choose the one with the walk-in shower it’s larger. #55 may vary a little from the others. The one next door did not have a back door or deck. Very nice.

Best Location with Deer!

My husband, myself and our 2 long-hair chihuahuas loved the Banner Bear! The doggies were crated and had their own room and enjoyed the front porch that had it's own gate. The home is pet friendly, but doesn't smell like it! There are rugs, but mine were oblivious to them. There were plenty of kitchen items, pantry areas and starter paper products throughout the home. I'm a coffee drinker and loved the coffee area in the kitchen! The home itself is very nice, new and most importantly, has ample LEVEL parking. Great firepit on the front porch to sit and relax after a day of touring the area. We were very lucky to have a family of deer bask in the sunlight in the backyard and munch on some grass. The momma deer actually layed down and watched her young ones. A real treat. Hopefully other guests will be as lucky to see wildlife while they're visiting. We loved Banner Bear and felt like our home away from home. Banner Elk is a great area as well. Lots of do and see. We can't wait to come again and stay at Banner Bear!

Quaint with close proximity to town

First impressions upon pulling up, was the small size of the house but that was delightfully deceiving once you stepped inside. The tall ceilings and openness served to make it feel larger. The house amenities were first rate right down to the heated bathroom floors. The only knock would be the televisions were streaming services only that you had to have your own subscription and password. We had no problem but a less savvy renter may find difficultly in enjoying an evening program on the tv
