About this property

60 Acre Mtn Top retreat 5 Miles from Downtown Banner Elk

5 Bedroom, 4 bath cabin with loft only 5 miles from downtown Banner Elk. All 5 bedrooms have mountain views and smart TVs. Pull up a chair on the upper level deck or lounge around the firepit off the lower level patio and enjoy the beautiful sunset over the distant mountain range!
Walk from the 15 car parking area directly in to the cabin with no steps to climb. Two queen bedrooms on the left have easy access to the large ADA accessible bathroom on the right. The loft above is set up for kids with a play area, a Playstation and 2 foldout beds. Cross through the great room with huge stone woodburning fireplace and 60” 4K TV to a King master with 6 ft Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Descend the stairway to the lower level through a large gameroom with 8 ft pool table, kitchenette, and movie watching area with covered patio and mountain views. A King master on the right has the 2nd 6 ft Jacuzzi tub in this house. A large bedroom on the left with King bed and bunkbed is great for kids or the hallway door can be locked, making it a 3rd king master suite. Outfitted for cooking holiday meals. Between the kitchen on the upper level and the kitchenette on the lower level there are 3 ovens, 2 refrigerators, and 2 dishwashers. There is a wood table in the main kitchen that seats 6 when expanded and 3 folding tables that seat 4 each. For large gatherings we have the pool table fitted with a topper and vinyl cover so it can be used as a banquet table.
Near 2 major ski mountains; Beech and Sugar. Close to Grandfather Mountain. Enjoy hiking along the top of your private mountain or head to the bottom of the mountain and fish for trout along your own 1,900 feet of the Elk River. Serene and private, yet just a few miles to great restaurants and activities in Banner Elk.
Dish TV with HBO

Vacation with extended family

We take a vacation with my husband’s sister, her husband, their children and grandchildren every year. They are from the low country coast so they like going to the mountains for the cooler weather and low humidity. The location and layout of this house was perfect for our family. Everything was clean and ready for us upon arrival. The location is private, the views are spectacular but it is convenient to stores and shopping. We plan on booking again for next year’s vacation.

Beautiful, Clean, Convenient

My husband and I brought our adult children and their spouses along with some family friends here for a long 4th of July weekend. There were plenty of beds and games and space to spread out. The views were breathtaking, the kitchen was well stocked and location was very convenient to local wineries, Beech Mountain and Banner Elk. The owners were very quick with responses to questions. We are already planning another trip back in the winter to go skiing! Pro tip....it does get hot on top of the mountain in the summer and the AC unit seems to have an issue keeping up so I recommend closing all the bedroom curtains and the shades in the living room aroundid afternoon to keep.it cool. In our opinion the loft area is not usable in the summer months due to the heat.

Great house!

The house was exactly as described online. It is a beautiful house, lots of room and very clean. We enjoyed our stay immensely. As owner states, be sure you have all-wheel or 4 wheel drive. You’ll need it. Thank you for letting us stay, we loved our time there!

Nice house for family outing

Our entire family including 5 grandchildren enjoyed a long weekend at this lovely home. Bedrooms and baths were just what we needed. It could have been cleaner but nothing that would keep me from staying there again. My only complaint is the seating for dining for 13 people was difficult. The view is unbeatable and the wood was well stocked so we could enjoy the fireplace on an extremely cold weekend. Hosts were very easy to communicate with.

Relaxing weekend getaway

The house and property were beautiful with plenty of space for our entire family to get together and celebrate two milestone birthdays. We would have been happy just hanging out on the deck soaking in the amazing mountain views but there was also plenty to do nearby. The owners were very helpful in providing information about the area, and very responsive when we needed something during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Spacious, well-appointed home with beautiful views!

My family had a wonderful stay at the Banner Elk Mountain Retreat! The rooms were spacious and spread out, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were plenty of games and of course the pool table and loft hide out for the kids. We were blessed with a significant snow fall that kept us from leaving the property one day, but it was worth it for the family time and unexpected fun in the snow. If you are visiting during the winter time, you 100% need a 4 wheel drive. The trip up and down the mountain was a bit treacherous after the snowfall. There is a bit of a drive to the most popular places to ski and tube, but we knew that going in and it didn't bother us. My only reason for not given 5 stars is that the kitchen and family room really need a deep clean. This is not unexpected for mountain homes with cleaning crews that are focused on surface level cleaning, and to be fair, I've only once experienced a mountain home that didn't need this. It wasn't enough to upset our visit, but it's something I would request before staying again. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and a views were incredible! For that alone, I would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Nick

We've owned land on this mountain for 25 years, but finally built our dream home in 2017. We spent years designing the cabin so that every bedroom and both living areas view the spectacular mountain vistas. No matter what fun things we may be doing on the property, we make it a point to meet together on the deck in time for the sunset over the mountains.
