Perfect Stay

This was a lovely, clean , comfortable property, with an open and roomy main space and a great view of the slopes. Perfect weekend ski-getaway. There is evidently a trail you can walk to the Big Birch ski run , but we had a few first time skiers with us and that run is slightly more advanced. It’ll be perfect for next visit. Thank you to all.

Beautiful

The condo was exactly what we needed. It was clean and well furnished. We loved the gas logs after a day of skiing. The view was absolutely beautiful! I will say that we were not able to ski in and out of this location. The trail leads to one of the medium/advanced slopes and most of our group was beginners. But it was a short drive down the mountain to the ski resort. It worked out fine. It would be more ideal for more advanced skiers. But the location was absolutely beautiful. The condo was clean and well maintained.

Perfect Autumn Getaway

This Banner Elk condo was perfect in every way! Impeccably decorated, it was a great location for trips to Blowing Rock or to Boone, and to the Blue Ridge Parkway. A variety of art/jewelry galleries are a short drive away. Note: It is on the 2nd level so there are stairs.

Ski Trip

We had a phenomenal stay and the property could not have been more perfect. We are able to be on the slopes within minutes after a brief walk from the condo. The unit was great, and was perfect for our stay.

This beautiful property far exceeded our expectations!

I often see reviews of people commenting the pictures were a lot better than the rental in person. The pictures online of this property were great but it was even better in person! This property is so spacious, clean and very updated. Our family said we didn’t know if there could be a better view of Sugar Mountain. From booking the rental to our departure, we couldn’t have had a better experience and are planning to return to this property with our next stay in this area.

Excellent Experience!

The property was as listed, clean and well appointed. The views were great and the trail to Sugar Mtn runs right behind the condo. The roads were plowed on a regular basis and very quickly when it snowed. The property management company was excellent and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great stay. We will be booking again!

Loved the condo with amazing view. The only issue we had was the heater, it stopped blowing the hot air. But there is a wonderful fireplace in a living room, it helped us to stay warm. We enjoyed the place very much!

Sugar Mountain

Beautiful sugar mountain Condo with high quality furnishings and close to the skiing. My vrbo search criteria were: close to slopes, allow my dog, hot tub and a fire place. This property appeared to match. When the fireplace did not work, I called the property manager to fix. He came and tried to fix but was not able to and we had no working fireplace for our 3 day stay. He also cussed me out for over 5 minutes for having a dog in the condo. I showed him my vrbo receipt and he said that they don’t allow dogs during ski season. The vrbo search and the receipt show that the condo accepts dogs, but a phrase on page 5 of the contract gives dates for no dogs. Please clarify in the vrbo listing that dogs are not allowed in December. Also the vrbo ad highlights a “Jacuzzi tub”, which we discovered is not a hot tub and is the brand of tub in the master bathroom. The condo is beautiful, but the vrbo descriptions are not accurate.

Beautiful but noisy

The condo itself was beautiful, with all the amenities, and the views outstanding. However, the guests in Unit B above me were very noisy, allowing their child to run constantly across the floor. In addition, they left their front door and deck doors open, so I had to listen to their child crying as well, I came up to have a nice quiet weekend, which did not happen. Unfortunately, that unit is not managed by the same property company as this unit, so nothing could be done.
