The condo had all essentials we needed. It was clean and the view was amazing! The shuttle was great to take us to the vehicle to get to the mountain for snow day and for downtown Banner Elk for meals!
Lovely place. Whoever cleaned prior to our visit left groceries in the fridge, but that would not deter us from another visit. The remote for the fireplace did not work and we were not able to use that amenity throughout our stay. It is a really beautiful condo, well decorated, clean, beautiful view of the mountains in the resort, even from the second floor. I would highly recommend.
Beautiful, cozy, renovated condo with great views and easily accessible. Will stay here again.
I made soup and there wasn't any large serving spoons or ladle, but we made due by using a coffee cup. The coffee pot wasn't clean (easy to rinse out), and we found crumbs, used condiments, and another person's hair in the fridge. The floor appeared not to be swept either (I also had to move the kitchen runner out of the way as there was no grip and I slipped and about fell). I also found a plastic bottle with cigarette butts in it on the balcony. Hopefully, the cleaning crew will do a better job for the next guest, especially since the cleaning fee is $125!
TVs wouldn't connect to the Internet and we couldn't get our phones, laptops, iPads, or switch
to connect or stay connected.
