*Things To Note Please
~Stairs are required to enter this property. We ask our guests to make sure this is something they are comfortable with prior to booking.
~The drive does have a slight incline as so many mountain properties do! It is what make us the mountains. It is paved, however, manageable by 99% of our guests regardless of the type of car they may drive. And... it is maintained in the winter by a wonderful local gentleman on call for us with his snow plow! He never lets us down and we feel super fortunate to have him look after our driveway on the many wintry days the high country produces!
~The property does have 1 security camera facing the driveway and mounted above the garage. This is for monitoring the property when it is unoccupied and for monitoring winter conditions of the drive. We turn it off when our guests arrive except to periodically check conditions of snow accumulation. There are no other cameras inside or out on our property.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
This smoke-free cabin features a stereo, games, and snowboarding nearby. Recreational activities include ecotours nearby, sledding nearby, and rock climbing nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

It was a nice little cabin, cozy and clean as described. A nice, personalized sign greeted me adn there was a basket of snacks and plenty of coffee and tea. Some things like door to rear porch and smart locks were in need of repair, nothing major. The driveway is extremely steep and with black ice it was not accessible with my frontwheel drive van.

Our family was very comfortable in this home. We did not use the kitchen, though it appeared well appointed. We appreciated the washer and dryer (only the dryer) after playing in the snow we dried the warm clothes we brought for coaster riding at Wilderness Run (so fun!). Garage parking was definitely a plus, especially for loading and unloading the car! The radiator heaters were a little noisy at night, but we were warm and comfortable. Lisa was very responsive to our messages and very kind!

The home was lovely and very welcoming, and Lisa was so responsive to any questions we had. The location is great to downtown Banner Elk and hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The kitchen is very well stocked and we were able to use the washer/dryer. Check in and check out requests were very well communicated.

Perfect mountain getaway for our family (kids age 6&9). The location was great and perfect spot to get to both sugar mountain and beech mountain. The home was very comfortable and cozy, and it had all the amenities we needed. Movie nights by the fireplace were our favorite part. The host was wonderful—very responsive and easy to work with. We will be back!

The property was as listed and conveniently located. We had a great stay until checkout when I was texted by the property manager and accused of bring a pet. Apparently, the housekeepers found dog food but it was definitely not from us. The downstairs basement had an odor and there was only 4 towels left. I accidentally only selected one guest and we had the allowed amount of 6. Make sure you are accurate in the reservation.
