Description Description
Base Camp Lodge is a 6 minute drive to downtown Banner Elk offering convenience and also a relaxed mountain-home feel, and plenty of space for the whole crew to spread out. This inviting three-bedroom plus additional sleeping space and four-bath retreat sleeps up to 10 guests and offers a comfortable blend of rustic charm and modern convenience, making it a fantastic base for family getaways, ski trips, and mountain adventures.

Inside, the open living spaces are designed for easy gathering and laid-back evenings. Guests can cozy up by the two electric fireplaces, enjoy games in the game room, or enjoy a campfire and s'mores at one of the two outdoor fire pits. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for home-cooked meals. A dedicated dining area and breakfast-friendly setup make mealtimes simple and enjoyable.

The lodge’s sleeping layout is well suited for families including a king primary suite, two queen bedrooms, and additional bunk-style sleeping space for extra flexibility.

For fun at home, the game room and game tables offer easy entertainment, while the poker/card table and shuffleboard table add a playful touch for friendly competition. Step outside to take in the mountain air on the deck or patio, fire up the grill, unwind in the hot tub, or gather around the fire pit in the fenced yard. Outdoor seating and a private yard create a peaceful setting for morning coffee, après-ski relaxation, or stargazing after dark.

This kitchen had every item you could ever need while away from home with so much space to work and dine! We used 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom during our stay and they were both comfortable and clean. We plan to book this home again in the spring with our extended family. The home is directly across from Sugar Mountain resort, 100’ to a gem mine with and enclosed and heated area, 75’ from a rental shop and plenty of dining within a 5 minute drive. The yard is truly fenced in without and gaps or damaged areas. Our son quite enjoyed the games in the game room, there were many to choose from. Check in was super easy. A late checkout was offered (for a fee) which we gratefully took. I would recommend this home to anyone! - Michelle S., December 2025 (review left under prior management)

This house was a wonderful stay equipped with everything we needed. Very close to the skiing mountains. We saw a herd of deer right outside the property and it looked magical in the snow. Game room was excellent and we all were hooked. Hot tub was pretty clean and exceptional to use in the snowy weather. - Harshini E., January 2025 (review left under prior management)

We were looking for the ultimate mountain ski retreat, and this vacation home delivered! Four Dads and Daughters had an unforgettable trip to Sugar Mountain, and this home was the perfect basecamp for our adventure. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how immaculately clean and well-kept everything was. The space was incredibly roomy, allowing us to spread out and relax after a long day on the slopes. The girls (all 15/16) especially enjoyed having their own space where they could play and sleep together. Honestly, the Dads enjoyed it as well. :) Whether we were unwinding in the cozy living area or getting a great night’s sleep in the comfortable bedrooms, every detail made us feel right at home. Location? Absolutely unbeatable. We were just minutes from Sugar Mountain’s lifts and facilities, making it effortless to hit the slopes early. Plus, with plenty of local shops, restaurants, and amenities nearby, everything we needed was within easy reach. We imagined our younger ones would have loved the gem mining next door! But the real icing on the cake? The jacuzzi. After a full day of skiing, stepping into the steaming hot tub with the mountain air around us was pure bliss. It was the perfect way to relax, laugh, and relive our best runs of the day. This home wasn’t just a place to stay—it was a huge part of making our Daddy-Daughter trip truly special. If you're looking for a spotless, spacious, and perfectly located ski getaway with top-notch amenities, this is the one. We can’t wait to come back! ⛷️❄️🔥 - Daniel B., February 2025 (review left under prior management)

My boyfriend and I took my Dad and our dog to this wonderful home for 4 nights. First of all the space is great, plenty of parking (although we had only one car). The bedrooms are great and with 3 bathrooms it gave everyone the space and privacy they could want. The soaking tub in one is especially nice after a day of skiing. The kitchen is HUGE with lots of supplies. The burner on the stove didn't have the igniter working so we had to use a lighter, but we notified the property manager so hopefully that gets fixed. Not a terrible inconvenience though. The microwave didn't work and within 30 minutes of the phone call a gentleman came and replaced it so quickly! Great customer service! The couch fits everyone and the TV was huge, with a gas fireplace to set the ambiance. A disclaimer to know though is that the TV shares a wall with one bedroom, which you can hear very clear through the wall, so if someone wants to stay up and watch TV be mindful if someone is sleeping in that room. You can look out your window in the living room and clearly see the slopes which I though was a cool feature. It's walking distance to the ski shops and the entrance to Sugar is outside your door. Amazing location! The grill outside has a direct line to the house gas line so no meddling with tanks, a great convenience for us. We didn't use the outdoor space but if the weather permitted it would have been a great gathering spot. Overall a 5 star place fit for a large group if you had one. It made out small group of 3 plus a dog more than comfortable and happy :) I would absolutely come here again. - Elizabeth W., December 2021 (review left under prior management)

We absolutely love the location and everything about this home. It accommodates our entire family including our fur babies. It’s so close in proximity to everything we do while on our annual ski trip. This is our second year in a row and we’re already talking about it for next year. Thanks. - Chris S., January 2025 (review left under prior management)
