Great place!
I really loved everything about this house, especially all the different outdoor seating areas. Beds were very comfy, well appointed furnishings. If you do not have to walk your dog, it is a fabulous place. Though you have lots of privacy, it is on a road that is not conducive to walking.

Really eclectic and relaxing chalet, 2 nights felt too short to really take advantage of all the amenities, both on the property and in the surrounding areas. Everything was top notch with the accommodations, just a beautiful place. I hope to return and experience some more zen.

Beautiful property. Perfect for a mountain getaway.
My family of six had the pleasure of staying in this mountain home for a weekend getaway. The property was beautiful and clean. The kids especially loved the game house and lower level bedroom. We made s’mores and memories by the fire pit. The owners attention to small details in the home was wonderful. From the decor to the thoughtful things around the house it was obvious they want their guests to feel welcome and comfortable. I would recommend this property for other travelers and definitely keep it in mind should we return to Banner Elk again.

Great week in the mountains
The house had many bonus features such as the sauna, hot tub, and game house. We had great weather, but had we not, it was an added bonus to have a number of things to do at the house had the weather not allowed for us to hike daily. There was also a nice selection of board games for the kids and TVs in every bedroom as well as both the living room and game room. The house is situated right down the way from multiple restaurants in Banner Elk. If you plan to hike at Grandfather Mountain it is only about 25-30mins away as is Roan Mountain. Linville Falls and Linville Wilderness Gorge area are also within 40mins drive. We had a great time and the house was a wonderful base to return to after a long day of hiking or kayaking. The beds were all very comfortable and there are two nice showers.

A Lovely Getaway
The view from the hot tub and front porch is awesome! A Christmas tree farm up on the hill and ole' glory flying above it. The house is in the shade for the afternoon/evening and it was nice and cool with the breeze. Hot tub was perfectly clean and working. Beds comfortable. The only thing we noticed is that the outside chairs could have used a wipe down. Fun place for all ages. Just a few minutes from downtown Banner Elk.

I recently stayed at this beautiful rental and couldn't have been more pleased. The property was immaculate, reflecting a high standard of cleanliness that made me feel immediately comfortable. The decor was tasteful, adding to the overall appeal of the space. We enjoyed morning coffee & meals on the giant porch. Additionally, it was well-equipped with everything I needed, from kitchen essentials to high-speed Wi-Fi. The comfy beds, attention to detail and thoughtful amenities truly enhanced my stay. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-notch rental experience!

Quirky but awesome
House has a lot of deck levels and outbuildings. The stone showers were a first! The sauna was great and the deck views were wonderful. Had an issue with the hot tub in removing the soft cover and leaves getting into the hot tub. The owners and manager responded within literally minutes. They sent someone over right away and it was cleaned by the time that we returned to the house an hour later. The fireplaces and the firepit on the deck were wonderful when the temps got down into the 40s. They literally thought of everything regarding cooking and even laundry supplies. We would definitely stay here again.

Birthday Weekend Getaway
The property was great and the location amazing. We enjoyed all the quirks of the property. Place was clean and organized. Everything was well labeled and easy to navigate. There were two negatives for me: first the bed I slept in was older and squeaked when you moved. The bed appeared to be an older mattress box spring with a foam topper, causing me to sleep in a hole. The other disappointment was the sauna. One of the reasons we wanted to stay there was for the sauna and hot tub. The hot tub was great. We tried several times to use the sauna. it only worked one morning for an hour. the rest of our stay we could not get it to get warm. There was a manual in the house rules binder, but it only told you what the buttons were for and not hoe to get it working. It was very frustrating and disappointing. the owner was very good about responding to any issues, but I didn't want to spend my whole weekend conversing about how to get the sauna to work. I think there should be instructions about how to work the sauna, because it seems to be a complicated system. I would recommend the property. it was perfect for our trip.

Spectacular Views
My family really enjoyed this property. The view was absolutely stunning!! The house is very roomy and cozy. The game room was a bonus! The only thing that didn’t feel like home was the cleanliness. We had to sweep the floors upon arriving. The table was sticky. Appliances were left uncleaned. The floors needed mopping terribly. Windows and mirrors had greasy fingerprints. Expired food left behind on coffee bar. Staircase was filthy and slippery. All outside sitting areas hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. That was the only disappointment.

Absolutely AMAZING Home
Honestly what you see if what you get and then some! The house was so perfect in every way. Amazing views, privacy and so much to do on the property. We brought our husky and she was in heaven. We got lucky and a snow storm had come through right before we arrived so we were able to enjoy some snow fun for a couple days. The hot tub was so clean and the entire house very well kept with all the items you need to enjoy your stay. The owners were very responsive and on top of everything. We will be booking again! Highly recommend.

I really have to say that the online pictures did not do this home justice. It was absolutely amazing, we just kept discovering new rooms and new things to see.

Family Retreat
Our family of five felt relaxed and rejuvenated after our stay. We slept comfortably and thoroughly enjoyed the views throughout the home. The home is conveniently located to area attractions. We weren’t able to take advantage of the outdoor seating areas due to rain and our need to explore the area when it wasn’t raining, but there’s plenty of space to take in the views. We look forward to returning in the future.

Beautiful location
We had the best vacation in such a beautiful location. Lots of hiking, local vineyards, golf and a trip to the spa. The owner gave us lots of great recommendations for dining and things to do on our trip. My family is still talking about the pecan encrusted trout at a local restaurant she recommended. The view on the many balconies was perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. We especially loved the daily visits from the hummingbirds 💕. The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen / living room area was AWESOME and a perfect area to hang out. We also REALLY enjoyed the sauna, hot tub and fire pit. The most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time.

First timers
This was our 1st time to stay in a mountain cabin. We usually go the the beach or visit a city. We LOVED it. The cabin was clean, homey and had beautiful Mountain View’s. There are tons of nooks around for a quiet cup of coffee or glass of wine. It’s close enough we visited Linwood Falls, Grandfather Mt, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Flat Top Mt. It’s also close to the Blue Ridge Pkwy. We would definitely book again in the future.
