Beautiful home. Everything was nice and clean. Added touches of snacks and coffee was a big plus. Easy one floor access as my husband cannot navigate stairs very well.We were able to visit family and Grandfather Mountain. We just enjoyed driving around and looking at the scenery.

Good Place to stay!

Overall our stay was really good. Location is great and walking distance from the little banner elk town and restaurant. Quick drive to sugar and beech mountains. As mentioned you can really hear the people walking around upstairs. But we don’t have any complaints about this place.

Enjoyable stay in Banner Elk

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Banner Elk. The home was very clean and comfortable for our family of four and my father. The location is very convenient and we walked down the hill into town for a delicious dinner at Sorrento’s one evening. It is a short drive to skiing at Sugar Mountain and Tubing at Hawks Nest. Communication with the owner was great and we felt safe staying here.

Location! Location! Location!

This property was perfect for our long weekend away. The property LITERALLY overlooks downtown Banner Elk…. If the weather is nice you can walk just about everywhere! The condo was clean, cozy, and the BEDS were some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in! The owner was SO helpful and communicative, which made the whole process so easy (check in, recommendations, etc). I would HIGHLY a recommend this property and hope to stay there again myself!

Great condo in a perfect central location!

I came here as a Lees-McRae alumni along with 3 other alumni friends for a weekend event. We really enjoyed being in this condo. It was clean and stocked with snacks and coffee for us. It was very spacious with great amenities. It was awesome to be in walking distance from downtown BE. Also not having any stairs was so nice! The condo check in and out process is also very simple and not hard at all! Lillian was a great host who was looking out for us upon our arrival. Overall it was a lovely stay! Def recommend for families or groups of friends!

Great location and property

We came to the area with friends to get a Christmas tree and to do some holiday shopping. The house is in a great location. Walking distance to banner elk. The home was very cosy for our party of 8. We had everything that we needed at the condo to make our stay enjoyable. The host was very responsive. We hope to come back to this condo and area again next year.

Cozy Condo 8/2023

This condo was conveniently located, clean and well equipped. They even included amenities that you get in hotels in case you forgot something. I have never stayed at a rental tgat provided the basic cooking supplies (salt, pepper, olive oil etc) and then some (coffee, tea and hot chocolate). Communications with the owner were a breeze! Great place to stay in Banner Elk!

About the host

Hosted by Lillian Hughes

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Lillian! I’m a 54-year-old entrepreneur who fell in love with hosting after discovering the joy of sharing my cozy condos in beautiful Banner Elk. Whether you’re here for outdoor adventures, a peaceful getaway, or time with loved ones, my goal is to make your stay easy, comfortable, and unforgettable. I take pride in providing worry-free accommodations so you can focus on what matters most—making great memories.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the mountains in North Carolina! And having a place so close to many nature trails, skiing resorts, and in the middle of a charming town like Banner Elk, makes relaxing very easy. My husband and I want to open our home-away-from-home to any travelers who enjoy the mountains the way we do!

What makes this property unique

The location of our condo is ideal for families, couples and groups of friends that look to be close to nature and enjoy the mountains: hiking, skiing, water rafting, etc. but also like to dine out, shop and enjoy cultural activities offered in town. The best of both worlds!
