Uniquely appropriate for a stay in the mountains. Quaint, cute, cozy and tucked into the mountain side. Ideal for a romantic couples getaway or simple solitude. A stones through from Banner Elk and all that it has to offer. If quiet seclusion is what you’re looking for. This is the place.
The home worked out perfectly for our first trip to the area. We were there for a conference at the college and it was just a mile away. Home was very well done and had everything we needed.
Being away from home, never felt so much like home. This space is warm and welcoming, clean and comfortable. I could not have asked for a better host! We are already looking forward to staying again next year for our annual Ski trip. Thank you!
Quaint, private and cute little bungalow. Air conditioning works great. The spiral staircase to go from the bedroom to the living room and kitchen can be a pain after a while, but you can walk outside and up the normal stairs if needed. Comfortable bed and cozy place. The place is small and so is the kitchen. That being said it is still a full functioning kitchen. We would come back again.
