Elderberry Escape is a fantastic property with magnificent views, easy access, and a short walk to town. It is located on a large lot just as you enter the Town of Beech Mountain and has views of Grandfather Mountain and Sugar Mountain and north into Tennessee.
It is located on the Banner Elk side of the town and so offers the convenience of being close to all that Beech Mountain and Banner Elk have to offer. The Town of Beech Mountain is less than two minutes away, the slopes are less than 5 minutes on the main road, and downtown Banner Elk is about 8 minutes away.
The home itself is a relaxing and comfortable escape. There are wonderful views from the wall of windows in the main living area, dining areas, the king master bedroom, and even the kitchen. The living room has gas logs and plush seating with a large mounted flat-screen TV above the fireplace. There is seating for 6 at the main dining table plus 4 additional seats at the breakfast table, as well as 4 more at the kitchen bar.
There are spacious decks with 6 Adirondack style chairs on the balcony, with table seating for 4, a table and 4 chairs on the lower level patio, along with a hot tub. The deck furniture was added after the photos were taken.

Saving this property and will absolutely visit again! The layout of the home is excellent for a group of friends. The location is perfect as it’s close to Fred’s Mercantile and Brick Oven Pizza. Very thankful to have the driveway plowed during heavy snow. The house was well equipped with all of the necessities with a bonus of a pool table for indoor fun. The hot tub was also a nice touch after a long day of skiing. Check in was incredibly simple. Overall, one of our favorite VRBOs at Beech!
When we arrived there was no heat. I contacted the host and also called the phone number provided. Heat wasn’t fixed until the next day. There were space heaters that we were able to put in bedrooms with closed doors so were able to sleep fairly well. The house was big enough for our family of 10. Cleanliness was fine. Hot tub was good. Some issues that need fixing: ceiling light in living room didn’t work; master bedroom door didn’t close tight; rung on ladder of bunk bed was broken and a screw was sticking out so we couldn’t use the top bunk; loop ceiling fans downstairs didn’t work; bathroom pocket door downstairs is broken; had trouble finding electrical outlets that work upstairs. Overall, it was a good place to stay with a beautiful view.
The house worked great for a snowboard trip and had beautiful views. Basement area was great for teenagers and adults woke up to beautiful sunrises upstairs.

Attended a family wedding on Beech Mountain, and this location was an excellent choice. Very comfortable home convenient to the wedding venue plus good dining & recreation options before and after the event.

Very nice property. Plenty of room for a large family or group of friends. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub especially. A group with younger children can use the provided sleds in the nearby park with a sledding hill.

Great stay!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Plenty of room and space for everyone and the house had everything we needed. There were a few burned out light bulbs, but no big deal. We were very happy with this house! Skiing Beech Mountain, customer service, long lines, road maintenance is a completely different issue!
The listing describes the place perfectly!!! Beautiful, spacious cabin, breathtaking views, and a large, well-maintained hot tub! The place was perfect to host my boyfriends 40th with all of our grown children and their significants!! All the rooms were large. There was plenty of room to accommodate us all and more if needed!! Absolutely loved it!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share. Our staff was delighted to hear you enjoyed the home and your expectations were met. Its our fondest hope that you will visit us again in the very near future.
Started off with us being considered about the heating downstairs when the temperature wete going to be in the liw 20's or teens. After contacting Carolina Cabin Rentals, they were rigjt on the problem and got the issue fixed. After thst could not ask foe a better plsce to stay. Close to the ski resort, free public sled riding park in walking distance. The had plenty of sleds for the kids. Can't say enough about the view. Got snow on Thanksgiving Day and Friday morning woke up to the most beautiful view. Wish i could share pictures. I would definitely stay there again.

Elderberry (Family) Escape
The property was nice. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the floors (especially the kitchen), the pile of recycle trash in garage w/ roaches running around it, the hot tub cover was filthy with piles of bricks on top of it, the water was cloudy and uninviting for use, and the grill was gross. Other than those few health concerns the house was very accommodating for my 86 year old mother and her five 60+ year old children. We saw deer in the back yard.

Thank you so much for sharing. Guest feedback is critical in providing the very best vacation rental experience. Please know that the home is on a contracted service with a local pest control company. Upon seeing your review the pest control service was contacted and a service was completed . No roaches were discovered but the home was serviced regardless. We are sorry that the hot tub cover may have been difficult to remove. The bricks were placed on the tub to prevent it from blowing off. Please know that every hot tub is serviced between each rental. In looking at the inspection reports done prior to your arrival, the hot tub was cleaned and balanced. Its our fondest hope that you will visit us again in the very near future.
It was overall lovely. Great location with easy access to ski slopes. We loved the view, the fireplace and the hot tub. We were informed the day before our stay that the washing machine and the dish washer were not working. We were given a small refund for those missing amenities. The property was pretty clean, but they definitely missed some vacuuming in the living room in front of the couch. We were not able to log into our Netflix account from the TV, and channels were limited.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share regarding your stay. Your trust and your business are incredibly important to us. Its our sincerest hope that a revisit will happen, sooner rather than later.
The location and size of this house are it's best assets. It is a tired rental that wasn't cleaned to my standards. Bathrooms were clean, floors were awful. Definitely needs a good scrub. I wiped black fingerprints off of most of the white doors myself. The dishwasher appears to be fairly new but is not installed (attached) properly and we were never able to get it to work so all dishes were washed by hand. It is a very large house with lots of space for many people. We enjoyed the deck in the evenings with the fire table.

Location of and view from this house were spectacular for our purposes. Main floor of the house was well-appointed but the basement/rec area was poorly lit: the bathroom floor was not clean, some of the blankets were torn and frayed. Some of the outlets didn't function (i.e. in the washer/dryer room); 2 of the TV remotes had to have batteries replaced. Attention to detail seems to be lacking in some areas. We have stayed at numerous properties and were surprised that this lovely house had no
"welcome" package or directions regarding what to do with linens, trash, recycling, etc. Given our history with previous home stays, we followed what we had done in the past.

Pros about this property, its in the perfect location.
Informed a fire place was not working and they instantly gave us a credit of 150.00.
Cons: Toaster did not work properly.
No can opener
Advised of late check in so I helped the cleaning lady make our bed and we used the same blankets on the bed as the people did the prior week.
No scald guard on the water and it easily could have scalded any of us.
Everytime a toilet was used to do a number 2, it clogged the toilet. So my husband who is a licensed plumber had to go around and plunge the toilets after every use. One toilet would not work at all.
Hot Tub did not work.
The washing machine sounded like a 747 had landed in the kitchen.
Someone who had rented the house had spilled what looked like wine on the couch and it was still there. Under the couches were other peoples garbage and lost items. Meaning the bare minimum cleaning had been done. I blame management for this as there was only 1 cleaning lady for the entire house.
Living room furniture needs replaced. It felt as tho we were being sucked into it.

The views, oh my goodness! We had a close-to-peak leaf weekend and the mountain was not at all crowded, so that was great. We were in the clouds and super windy about half of our weekend, but that's part of being in the mountains.
The house has an adequate amount of cookware, etc, but was lacking in glassware for our group of 5. Constantly washing dishes.
The house should have a broom so that the kitchen and hall can be kept clean.
Hot tub was very nice!
Our major complaint was the primary TV. One remote had no apparent use, and there was no remote at all for the Roku. There needs to be an option for casting/mirroring to the TV from a phone or other device, and there should be on-site explanations for how they work. The website directions were non-specific and unhelpful. 5 reasonably savvy adults were not able to rent a movie, and the Netflix seems to be disabled. Attempts to log in on our own accounts were apparently closed out, but without a clear explanation.
In the high winds we had (20-30 mph for hours at a time) the fireplace damper rattled constantly, but could not be closed due to the pilot light.
House was warm, neat and clean, but the games provided were so incomplete as to be funny. The backgammon set had only 10 pieces in it.
Towels and soaps were plentiful, and the house is laid out well.
