Description Description
Welcome to 4 Bears Lodge in Banner Elk!

This three bedroom home is the perfect retreat in the mountains. Located a short hike to the Banner Elk Winery and nestled in the trees, enjoy the year round views of the mountains and foliage. On the main level, you'll find the open-concept living, dining and kitchen, with a wall of windows to take in the views. The gas log fireplace turns on and off with a simple wall switch, creating a cozy environment. Comfortable seating surrounds the fireplace and flat screen TV. The home has Skybest for TV, including multiple ESPN channels. In the kitchen there is ample counter space for meal prep and both a Keurig and a standard coffeepot. The bar has seating for two to complement the dining table with seating for six. Two bedrooms are on the main level, and there is a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination and double vanity in the hall for access. One bedroom has a queen bed, the other has two twin beds. A full washer and dryer are off the hall on the main level.

Upstairs is the loft with a foosball table, seating, and views out the picture window. There is a king bedroom upstairs and a full bathroom featuring an oversized soaking tub, a shower, and double vanity. Air conditioning keeps the home cool even in July, not that many need it with the mountain breezes!

The deck wraps around from the side entrance to the back, and has a mainlined gas grill and dining table. On the deck is a newly installed hot tub for up to six overlooking the valley view. On the grounds below is a fire pit with stacked chairs under the deck. 

Explore the area with a five minute drive to Banner Elk, or 15 minutes to the Mast General Store and Valle Crucis Community Park. Beech and Sugar Ski are each 15 minutes away.

We had a great time! The hot tub was awesome. Plenty of grassy area to walk our dogs. Make sure to bring a truck or 4WD vehicle if you’re coming in the winter! You will need it to get in and out of this place, but that was expected. We would recommend!

Great weeked get away
We absolutely loved the cabin! It was very cozy and perfect for our family. It was very convenient to Beech mountain and downtown Banner Elk. The place was incredibly clean! We loved all the amenities and the very soft towels! Such a wonderful place to stay. The only concern is the GPS didn't quite pinpoint the location. And we had to venture out on our own to find it. Thankfully additional directions were provided to us by the property management company.

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! GPS is not very reliable in the mountains, but our turn by turn directions will always guide guests safely to the home. Please come back anytime! - BRMR

Weekend stay
Place was beautiful and exactly what we needed for our weekend in NC. We were there for our friends wedding in the mountains, and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Hot tub was a great bonus after a long day. Great communication from property management and very clean. Highly recommend

Great weekend of skiing
The property was beautiful, clean and easy to access (needed 4wd with snow but the owners communicated that clearly ahead of time so we were prepared) all in all a great Trip and we will try booking this property again if we are staying in the area!

This cozy cabin is spacious, private and well kept. We went to enjoy winter skiing and we’re happy with the short distances to the local ski mountains. While we were there, it snowed a significant amount of the house stayed warm and toasty with a stunning view outside. We would certainly return to this getaway home!

Great management company--Joanna was super-responsive and quickly helpful early on the Sunday morning of our stay when a transformer incident in the area caused several homes to lose power for a few hours.
One recommendation for Airbnb users: consider booking this property directly through blueridgerentals.com if you'd like to save yourself the exorbitant cleaning fee that's listed here.

Beautiful property deep in the woods. very spacious and cozy home with a beautiful view of the mountains. not far from Elk Banner either. the hosts provided all the amenities you would need. I loved that the kitchen was already stocked with cooking tools. the fire pit was also a nice touch. the upstairs bed was very comfy (didn't use the other rooms). The fireplace was also a great touch and all you had to do was flip a switch to turn on.
Great location not far from Grandfather Mountain and a lot of other great Blue Ridge Mountain attractions. I would stay again

Perfect cabin nestled in the mountain side for a large family! So peaceful. Loved sitting on the porch at night watching the stars and listening to the sounds of nature. The cabin was immaculate. The decor is just lovely. Our children enjoyed counting the many decorative bears located around the cabin. We enjoyed the little cafes in downtown Banner Elk and visiting the little nearby mountain town with it's nostalgic general store. Our children enjoyed mining for gems and brought home several colorful gems they're hoping to make into jewelry. Looking forward to vacationing here again next fall! Oh, and the fall leaves were spectacular!
