Lark Hollow - Pet Friendly Cottage with Hot Tub near Banner Elk

Situated on a wooded lot in a resort-style neighborhood, there is a little something for everyone here. Bring your family and your best-behaved small non-shedding dog(s) to share this time in the Appalachian mountains together. Venture out to local hiking spots, Sugar or Beech Mountain, Banner Elk, or the Blue Ridge Parkway during the day, and take a dip in the 6-person hot tub in the evening. Cap off your day by gathering around the fire pit for s'mores in the evening!

We've thought of everything for your home away from home. Relish this well-designed and equipped space with a full renovated kitchen, two living areas, three bedrooms, a sleeping loft for two, and two full baths with tubs. A new hot-tub, gated pet area, and more! Enjoy the tree & golf course views through the beautiful trees from the enormous fir timber wrap-around porch. And when the leaves fall, enjoy the mountains in the distance! In July of 2024, an LG window AC smart unit was installed in the den for guest comfort.

The house layout includes a loft with two twin beds, a lounge/children's play area. The main floor is comprised of a large master suite (king bed, closet, full bath, seating area, desk), full kitchen, living area (sofa, swivel chairs, TV), and dining nook. The porch is on the main level and is designed for outdoor dining and lounging. The lower level boasts a morning/evening bar, a living area with a large leather sectional, a TV, yoga mats, and puzzles! You'll also find a gated pet nook if you need to leave your furry friends while away! You'll find the washer/dryer, a full bath, and 2 additional bedrooms. One full bed and one bedroom with two twins side by side.

The lower patio is equipped with a 6-person hot tub, 2 lounge chairs & fire pit with seating. Perfect for a cozy summer night roasting smores!
It is easy to maneuver in and out of the home using the double driveways (upper and lower). Leave your ski and hiking gear on the porch or boots in the boot drop. Then, enjoy lounging after a long day of adventuring!

We hope your stay at Lark Hollow is a restorative experience that brings rest & renewal!
