We spent a wonderful long weekend here with our little family! We went skiing and tubing by day and checked out local restaurants at night. The home was great, very clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood has so much to offer and I only wish would would have explored and taken advantage of it more. The communities Dollar General was a great treat too! We will definitely stay here again!- Christian, Posted: 02/22/2023
The house was very nice and the service made things very easy. We will rent again some this summer- Thomas, Posted: 06/16/2022
Great service and communication from reservation thru departure. Extremely professional and accommodating. Our cabin was especially well furnished.- Tom, Posted: 03/30/2022
Catch & Release cabin was so beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for my wife and I for the 5 nights. The small neighborhood was quiet and the river a small walk to. The master bed was so comfortable. We would definitely stay here again when in Banner Elk.- John, Posted: 11/11/2021

Relaxing getaway- Paula, Posted: 08/24/2020
Our family has rented from Blue Ridge Rentals for the past 3 years and another company for years before they were purchased by Blue Ridge Rentals. It has been a great experience from the very beginning. We also love the Lodges at Eagles Nest area, the hiking, the playgrounds, beautiful homes and cabins, the fly fishing and the friendly atmosphere. The staff at Blue Ridge is responsive in every way from assisting with booking the perfect property to addressing changes and problems as they occur even when it is after hours. I truly do not have a single complaint. Every experience has been AWESOME!- Loretta, Posted: 02/25/2020

We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The cabin was beautiful and we had everything we needed. Pots, pans, even a washer and dryer. Owners kept us informed and the whole overall experience was great. We will definitely stay here again.- Carlos, Posted: 12/28/2018
We enjoyed our stay and the well appointed, upscale, “cabin” very much. It’s a very short walk to an idyllic river that runs along the property. And just across the street from Lodges at Eagles Nest and all its amenities. Highly recommend.- Ann, Posted: 10/22/2018
We had the best stay here. The cabin was amazing, top of the line everything. Was like brand new in a great Eagles Nest community with a ton of amenities. Less than 5 mins from downtown Banner Elk that has plenty of nice restaurants. Highly recommend renting a UTV to get around Eagles Nest. Thank you for a wonderful stay and hospitality! We’re ready for the next visit!- Hai, Posted: 07/10/2018
My family of 5 stayed in this lovely cabin over Memorial Day. It was a true pleasure! We found the home to be extremely comfortable and the Eagles Nest amenities are second to none! You will love the beautiful hikes and your whole family will delight in exploring all of the fabulous common areas. We enjoyed the Saturday night concert and dinner..Eagles Nest throws a great party! We will definitely be back!- Kathryn, Posted: 05/15/2018
