Rental was very unique with interesting eclectic decor. We got heavy snow on Christmas Eve which was beautiful. Were even able to go sledding on the cabins property. Strongly recommend a four-wheel-drive if there’s snow in the forecast (we are from Northern Ny... it was icey and steep- the driveway is no joke). Bedding was comfortable sheets were very nice. Brought extra blankets and glad we did - downstairs Master was a bit chilly at night. Loved the woodburning fireplaces, we brought our own firewood. But 2 of the 3 fireplaces are gas. Good location. Private but ten minutes or so from a town. Also Close to sugar mountain (15 min). Great skiing there. Kitchen was oddly small, cabinets could be updated and utensils were decent. More than enough dishes/glasses /wine/champagne glasses. FYI / things I was unclear on so sharing with others: All bedrooms in main cabin are private/ closed off with own bathrooms. Guest cabin is beautiful with cool style inside, beautiful master bath in guest cabin, But not a lot of privacy between the upstairs loft bedroom and downstairs bedroom in guest cabin FYI. Toasty warm in cabins. Nice views. LOTS OF STAIRS between cabins so if you have knee issues or are a senior I would avoid staying in guesthouse out of safety. Has icemaker. Loved all the windows and the dogs were very happy too. They ran free and were exhausted. Would 100% certainly stay here again and made for a nice holiday with extended family. Ps- some gps take you to wrong place ... so be cautious. Manager seemed responsive even for a holiday stay.- Ashley, Posted: 01/11/2021
Thank you to our hosts. What a beautiful location for hiking, skiing, and rock-climbing. The properties were absolutely wonderful with indoor and outdoor fireplaces - perfect for a night by the fireside or a celebration with s’mores. We all had a great time on the slopes and dining at some of the finest Banner Elk establishments. We highly recommend these properties. Thanks again.- Mark, Posted: 01/08/2021
Really enjoyed this property. It worked well for our large family. Having the 2nd cabin was perfect, we were able to host family and gather in the lodge, but then also get away for privacy in the cabin. We saw deer nightly in the clearing. We picked apples and pears. The dogs loved running through the woods and chasing butterflies. We had fires in the evenings on the porch and cooked out. A great time was had by all!- Nanette, Posted: 08/31/2020
A few days away. It was a real pleasure going someplace that made us feel terrific about doing nothing for 5 days. Both Houses are very comfortable and well appointed and the management group is super attentive. We will be planning a fall return shortly Thanks- Bruce, Posted: 06/11/2020
The homes had a lot of windows, decks, and many opportunities to enjoy the mountainous views. We will be back!- Dan, Posted: 01/30/2019
Amazing place to spend time with family and friends. We absolutely loved the decorating and furnishings. An awesome time!- Jennifer, Posted: 12/31/2018
Had 10 people and had plenty of room, the houses are joined but wooden decks and natural looking stairs that gives it a nice look and also makes it easy to go back and forth. The upper cabin has amazing sun sets off the deck. The main house has very large porch with fire pit and jacuzzi great for large group to hang out after dark. We had our dogs which loved the yard and also the trail thats leads up the mountain side threw hardwoods forest, the decks are set up so that you can shut off everything to keep them contained. Set back at the end off a long drive in the edge of woods. Would definitely recommend this property !- T.C., Posted: 06/26/2018
A main house (and guest house) with great space and outdoor comforts for the whole family. Kitchen well appointed and house decor so appealing.- Hampton, Posted: 02/06/2017
