The listing was just as described. The host was extremely responsive and kind. We were breaking a car trip at the condo and were planning on doing laundry there. I asked the host about laundry detergent, explaining our situation, and she left us extra. Great stay!

Perfect location for our girls trip. It was exactly as described. Place was very clean. Easy check in process. Host very responsive with communication. Breathtaking views. LOVED all the windows in the living room that overlooked downtown Banner Elk. We felt very safe and comfortable. We didn’t find it walkable as described due to hilly roads. Overall this was an excellent place and would definitely stay here again.

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!
