The stunning surroundings and serene mountain air of Banner Elk await you with open arms here at Fox Run Retreat, so take that long-awaited ski getaway and rest easy. Step inside and you will be greeted with the warm wood accents, tall ceilings, and wonderful mountain views from nearly every room on the second floor of the home. Mornings and evenings can easily be spent on the spacious deck, as a fire table and seating away for you to reminisce with loved ones. When everyone returns to home base after a full day of fun, the great room will be just the place to kick back and watch a favorite show by the warmth of the gas fireplace. Plus, the chef of the group will be in paradise with all of the appliances and utensils needed to whip up a warm meal in the full kitchen!

When it is time to hit the hay, this home is comprised of two spacious floors and four bedrooms. The main bedroom is located on the main floor and boasts a king bed, mountain views, and an ensuite bathroom. Make your way downstairs and you will find three more bedrooms, all of them featuring queen beds. Plus, a bonus room is also downstairs with two desks to get some remote work done if need be!

What's nearby:
Though you will feel like you are tucked away from it all, this home is in a perfect location to get some privacy while still being close to all of the best attractions. If you happen to be visiting in winter, the skiers will love heading just over a mile north to Beech Mountain Ski Resort or seven miles south to Sugar Mountain Resort, Inc. Come summer the hiking and biking trails in the area are amazing and Grandfather Mountain State Park is home to the Mile High Swinging Bridge 14 miles from home base. Not to mention, the heart of Banner Elk offers a plethora of dining and shopping options.

Things to know:
Free high-speed WiFi
4WD/traction may be required in winter

Plenty to do nearby but no need to leave this deck!
The home was clean, had a gorgeous view and was so convenient to Banner Elk and the top of Beech Mountain. We visited many sites but I could have stayed on the deck all day long.

Excellent Location and Amazing Views
The cabin was very nice and had everything necessary for a week long stay. The amenities were great and the location to Beech Mt Ski Resort was very close, Sugar Mt Ski Resort was a short drive also. The minor issues with lighting were quickly resolved. The only complaint I have is the bar stools are quite short, the dining room table chairs need to have the legs tightened and there is only 1 television and it’s quite dated.

Wonderful house
Weekend stay for a girls weekend. We enjoyed the home and locations. Gated community and a garage were perfect and a safe feeling. Plenty of room for all of us. The only thing missing was a few more towels, pot holders and tvs in the bedrooms. Only one room with tv. Had difficulty getting into the home with the codes but once we contacted them, they assisted in a timely manner

Nice view with lots of issues
The only positive thing about this property was a good location and nice long range view, the rest of the things are just terribly wrong. When booked this house in description said that there a fireplace, to be honest we mostly booked this house so that we can spend time in front of the fireplace. We checked in and found out that fireplace was broken and needed repairs. There was a note sticked to fireplace, dated 10/30/22 that it was broken and needed repairs and our check in date was 11/19/22. It was broken for a month and no one even bother to make sure it’s repaired. Grill outside had no propane, when someone brought propane 1 day later we found out that the grill itself is broken as well, had to wait again for them to replace the grill. Almost every room in this house including bathroom have light bulbs that needs to be replaced. For example shower in master bathroom has not light in it. One of the bathrooms downstairs: curtain has mold all over. TV in living room is from 90’, not a smart tv, very little diagonal maybe 32, come on this 2020, you can get a nice TV for 300$. Response time from management company is over to long. Has requested partial refund from the them, still waiting for them to reply. My suggestion, dont rent this house, at least until of the issues described above are fixed.

Awesome Place - Spectacular Views
Pros- The house was in a great location towards the top of the mountain with easy access to all mountaintop restaurants and general store. It has spectacular views and was very clean inside. Very close to overlook barn for family wedding ! Cons- The lockbox was on the backside of a beam and very hard to find. The people I called did not know where it was located. The outside entryway and the back deck furniture were not cleaned. Have the cleaning people clean that as part of their process.

Take a moment to catch your breath!
This property was perfect for a grown up sibling get together and hiking trip. It is centrally located for hiking in the Grandfather Mountain, Roan Mountain and Blowing Rock areas. The house afforded stunning views from all bedrooms and living areas, in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. It was very clean and had every pan, tool , and gadget you could possibly need for cooking family meals. We had brought fans along ,since it did not appear to have air conditioning on the listing , but we were pleasantly surprised to discover it did have central air. The beds were comfortable , and there were bathrooms for each of us! The garage for the cars and the washer and dryer were nice ammenities. It was great to be able to kick off our hiking shoes in the garage,outside the entrance to the foyer to keep the floors clean. The fast internet and desks in the office room were wonderful for uploading the day's scenic hiking photos to share with the family members who couldn't join us. As mentioned in some other reviews, our check in had to be delayed a couple hours , since the cleaning was not completed when we arrived at 4. We were understanding when we were told it was due to difficulty in staffing , like other service related businesses. So we took a walk around the neighborhood and scouted out a pizza place. If you are looking for a fabulous place to rest and restore your tired hiking legs, or just a spot to relax and reflect, we strongly recommend this slice of mountain paradise.

Disappointed
We got a call 38 min before scheduled check in of 4 p.m. (after driving 10 hours with 2 kids) that our booking might not be finished being cleaned. We arrived to property at 4:30 and it was a mess. Called Vacasa and was meet with attitude and rudeness. Telling me I was told it wouldn’t be ready until 6pm (never happened). The house was finally “cleaned” at 630 pm. The garage was left full of about 10 bags of trash that smelled so bad that you couldn’t even open the garage door to house. Never had anyone follow up with me after leaving messages and texts through the website. We paid a lot of money for this property and were treated like we did something wrong. Disappointed is an understatement.

Beautiful home. Great Location. Amazing views.
The home is comfortable, beautiful, and has amazing views and we would rent it again. It was very clean and well-stocked. It does need some routine maintenance. We wanted to communicate with Vacasa, the management company, but were unable to reach them and they did not return calls. The instructions for trash disposal were unclear. I called for help and no one called back. I called again after we returned home because I did not want to give a bad review and I have still not received a callback. The home is great; the management company not so much.

Nice house, great location, poorly maintained
The owners clearly invested a lot when this house was built and furnished. But it suffers from a lack of maintenance and care: 1. The guest bath on main/2nd floor needs repair. The toilet wax ring is obviously bad, as water streams out of the base of the toilet with every flush 2. The downstairs bedrooms shower over tub will not work as showers (nothing happens when you pull the lever to switch to shower) 3. The upstairs/master bedroom sheets were grossly dirty with lots of hair and other evidence that they had not been washed and changed. 4. The master bath toilet paper holder fell off at first use. 5. There was no towel for guest bath, we used one from kitchen until the toilet leak was discovered. 6. 2nd pillows had no pillowcases in the master bedroom, so could not be used. 7. A used K-cup cartridge was still in the Keurig coffee maker, as was water in the reservoir (great way to create mold) 8. A towel bar was missing/off the wall in a downstairs bath 9. There was only one hand towel for 2 downstairs bathrooms 10. One other frustration: the text message from Vacasa with the lockbox code did NOT include the gate code for the property (it’s in a gated community). I did find in in the Vacasa app, but you need to know that the text message by itself was useless without the gate code.

The sweetest time
We so thoroughly enjoyed our time up on Beech Mountain in this beautiful cabin. The views are unparalleled and the access to the property is very easy. Such a short distance to the village of Banner Elk on one direction and a great fun ski area on Beech Mountain in the other direction. Quick access to the Emerald Trails was also a huge plus!
