The Velvet Antler Lodge - The Perfect Getaway in Banner Elk, Near Beech & Sugar Mountain | Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Game Room

Welcome to The Velvet Antler Lodge, your perfect mountain getaway in Banner Elk! Ideally located near Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and a short drive from scenic Grandfather Mountain, this inviting cabin is a wonderful home base for families, friends, and even four-legged guests looking to experience the beauty and adventure of the North Carolina High Country.

Spend your days skiing, hiking, fishing, zip-lining, or exploring the many nearby attractions, then come home to relax and enjoy everything this cozy mountain retreat has to offer.

Outside, there are plenty of spaces to gather and unwind. Soak in the private hot tub, tucked behind a privacy fence for a peaceful escape, or settle into the comfortable outdoor seating on the porch. Fire up the gas fire pit, enjoy a meal outdoors, or relax on the porch swing as the mountain air rolls in. The backyard offers even more fun, with a wood-burning fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, a swing, and a cedar playset for the kids.

When it's time for some friendly competition, head inside to the game room for a round of pool, darts, arcade games, pinball, or one of the many board and card games available. Large TVs throughout the home—including a TV on the back deck—make it easy to catch the game, enjoy a movie night, or log into your favorite streaming service.

The home combines comfortable modern conveniences with plenty of mountain character. Rustic touches, antiques, artwork, and thoughtful updates create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at home, including both a Keurig and traditional coffee maker, while indoor and outdoor dining spaces give everyone room to gather around the table.

Traveling with pets? This home is ready to welcome the whole family.  Thoughtful dog-friendly amenities—including a large adjustable crate, dog bed, bowls, and more—help make traveling with your pup a little easier.

Additional conveniences include a washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, USB and USB-C charging outlets near the beds, and other thoughtful touches designed to make your stay comfortable.

Whether you're planning a family ski trip, a summer mountain adventure, or simply a relaxing escape from everyday life, this Banner Elk cabin offers the perfect combination of comfort, entertainment, and outdoor fun.

Come make lasting memories at The Velvet Antler Lodge!

The house was easy to find and in a convenient location to downtown Banner Elk. The House was clean and very spacious. We loved the game room. It was nice for all of us to have our own bedroom and our own bathroom. The outdoor space was also nice. All of us ladies loved all of the throw blankets while we were watching Netflix movies. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. - Angela N (Review left under prior management Jul 2026)

The home was so comfortable with every imaginable amenity that we would need to stay away from home. There was so much to do while in the house, like playing pool, darts, arcade games, jacuzzi, card games and board games. We enjoyed every moment in the house and were able to cook and really relax and enjoy the time together as a group. -5 Shelley O. (Review left under prior management Sept 2025)

This house was very well stocked, everything worked, and we had a great time. The neighbors are all locals and very friendly. We had a great time in the game room, hiking to Elk Park Falls, and eating and spending time on the back patio. If you are looking for a place that is private yet minutes to town, this is it. We had a wonderful time and will be looking to come back. - K S J (Review left under prior management Jul 2026)

Loved this house, very spacious with lots of room. Was about 15-20 minutes from Beech, but it was a great place to crash at the end of a day of skiing. - Morgan F. (Review left under prior management Jan 2026)

The location is excellent. Being so close to Banner Elk made it easy to get to restaurants, shops, and activities without a long drive. The house itself is well set up for groups, with three king bedrooms and additional beds in the game room, which worked great for our group. The amenities inside were a big highlight. Our son absolutely loved the arcade cabinet and pinball machine, and there were tons of games available—putting green, giant Jenga, cornhole, lawn darts, etc. The smart TVs in every room were also a great touch. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances and utensils, which made it easy to cook and really settle in. The backyard was another standout, with plenty of seating and a really nice lawn swing that made it easy to relax outside. - Wesley M., April 2026 (review left under prior management)
