Description
Welcome to Mountain Dream! This like-new, three level home is the perfect choice for your next NC mountain vacation no matter if you prefer to be close to historic downtown Banner Elk and the Blue Ridge Parkway or minutes from the year-round activities in Boone and at Appalachian State University. Guests especially enjoy the two large decks to take in the peaceful natural surroundings and profile view of Grandfather Mountain. They pair well with both your morning coffee or perhaps a glass of wine from the nearby Grandfather Winery. The living area embraces you with the natural warmth of wood, and on winter days the glow of the soaring fireplace. The adjoining dining area is the perfect location to enjoy a backdrop of fall color. And the modern kitchen with stainless appliances is perfect for preparing dinners.

The master bedroom on the main level has a comfortable queen bed and the attached bathroom offers a combination shower/tub. Upstairs you'll find another master with a queen bed, walk-in closet and full bathroom that offers a jetted tub/shower combo. Just outside the master bedroom is a large loft with cozy seating. On the lower level, find the third bedroom just off the family room with queen bed. There is also a second cozy gas-burning fireplace in the family room paired with a flatscreen TV. These rooms share a Jack and Jill bath, again with shower/tub combo, and easy access to the adjacent laundry room and deck access.
 
A highlight of this home is the easy walk along the gravel road to the small waterfall that cascades over large boulders and under the wooden bridge.
 
When you are ready to explore, this location is central to everything! Turn right and find yourself in Banner Elk within five minutes, or a few miles further to Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Or turn left and find yourself only five minutes from Valle Crucis or ten minutes from Boone.  

Additional notes:
- This home does present more challenging winter access  - 4wd and possibly chains may be required during winter conditions due to elevation and steepness.

- All BRMR homes offer well stocked kitchens with all utensils needed to cook meals. There is also a "starter set" of paper products at the house: a roll of toilet paper per bath, several garbage bags, a small vial of dishwashing liquid, a few tablets of dishwasher detergent, some laundry pods, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some makeup remover cloths. There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers. Towels and linens will be provided.
- Check in is after 4pm and Checkout is by 10am
- 4WD/AWD and/or chains recommended during winter (Nov-March) for all homes. Travelers visiting during the winter months where inclement weather may be possible should come prepared with an AWD or 4WD vehicle, and chains may also be required if it snows.

This place MADE our snow trip! The house was stunning, super comfortable, and perfectly located…just minutes from everything. No long drives, no stress, just snow, fun, and relaxation.
Waking up, seeing the mountains, spending the day outside, and coming back to such a cozy space was priceless. Already planning our next stay!

Enjoyed our stay surrounded by beautiful Mountain View's adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the cabin. Fairly convenient to all we wanted to see and do. House worked well for us and we enjoyed our time together. Loved how private each house was from each other which created a relaxing, peaceful experience.

We love the cabin that we have stayed in multiple times. The view is spectacular and it is very peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked, the house is clean and the beds are comfortable. We love the waterfall nearby and have even gotten to know the neighbors on the road. We plan to book with you again soon!

Our second stay in this beautiful place. Very secluded location, private and specially good if you have pets. Easy to get to in good weather but be mindful if you have more than an inch of snow might be an issue if you don’t have the right equipment. They do a good job plowing after the storm, actually twice a day every day while we were there during two winter storms in a week. It’s a great place and we are already planning for next year.

This is our family of 4’s second stay here. It’s clean. Well maintained. Easy location. We love that’s it pet friendly. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful scenery and decks. I would suggest a new couch in the main living area. Only because you sink into it when you sit down. Other than that the cabin is very comfortable! A nice cabin with a great view of Grandfather mountain. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property, exceptional location. The team at Blue Ridge Mountains Rentals made the whole experience much better. Good customer care and fast response. Seating at the main deck you have clear view of the mountains. Access to the property is very convenient, definitely 4x4 is required in snowy conditions but if weather is fine you can access with any car. This property is excellent to access all parts of town, 15 min to the nearest slopes. If you are on the fence, get this property and use this company, you won't regret it.

All great apart from -30 deg wind chill! Had to install chains to get up the hill but understandable given the brutal weather. Beautiful views from the house.

We loved every minute at Mountain Dream cabin. The location was perfect for us. Having 3 levels with full bathrooms, and plenty of space was perfect for our family. If it were possible I would live there. It was so beautiful sitting on the back deck with morning coffee and looking at Grandfather Mountain which has been the destination every July for the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. The only complaint was the weather but it's the mountains and unpredictable. Thank you for being pet friendly. Our elderly little bichon loved it too! Deborah and family

Our group had a great stay here! Close to where we went skiing and downtown Boone, but still felt private and tucked away. Everything was very clean and the amount of supplies in the kitchen was plenty for a large group dinner. Would definitely stay here again if we're ever back!

We enjoyed our weekend at the cabin. The place was extremely clean! The host provided all needed supplies - kitchen was fully stocked, laundry area was stocked, all bedding and towels were included as well. The rooms were very spacious and so was the porch. Only draw back is there is no outdoor yard etc but the view from the porch makes up for it. We would definitely stay again. Thanks!

We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful mountain retreat. The house has everything we needed. Mother Nature had other ideas and it was very rainy, but we didn't mind. We sat by the toasty gas fireplace, watched TV and played games with the family. Already planning on our next trip.

This cabin is wonderful! It is a beautiful home, wonderfully designed, with two decks (main floor and lower suite) to enjoy the amazing view of Grandfather Mountain. It was decorated so nicely, in a very comfortable and tasteful way, but more importantly all the creature comforts were there. Little things like coffee and hot cocoa packets, extra cozy blankets all over the house, plenty of outlets and lights to brighten up whatever space you are in, and so on. We also really loved how spacious the bedrooms were, the very clean linens and really excellent kitchen supplies. I really wish we could have stayed longer and lived more in the house but we were out and about a lot. All in all, I have nothing to suggest, it was a perfect home! Also, having a nice big smart TV to hunker down and watch movies with the family at night while a fire blazed in the fireplace, was super cozy and great memories for us. Thanks, Mountain Dream!

I have never stayed in a Blue Ridge home with a prettier view of Grandfather Mountain's profile. I could sit all day on the back porch and watch the shadows change the view! There was also a beautiful Japanese garden walkway leading to the back yard. Our only problem was with the WiFi modem. However, that just gave us more time to work the 1000piece puzzle!
