Beautiful home. Everything was nice and clean. Added touches of snacks and coffee was a big plus. Easy one floor access as my husband cannot navigate stairs very well.We were able to visit family and Grandfather Mountain. We just enjoyed driving around and looking at the scenery.

Great condo in a perfect central location!

I came here as a Lees-McRae alumni along with 3 other alumni friends for a weekend event. We really enjoyed being in this condo. It was clean and stocked with snacks and coffee for us. It was very spacious with great amenities. It was awesome to be in walking distance from downtown BE. Also not having any stairs was so nice! The condo check in and out process is also very simple and not hard at all! Lillian was a great host who was looking out for us upon our arrival. Overall it was a lovely stay! Def recommend for families or groups of friends!

Good Place to stay!

Overall our stay was really good. Location is great and walking distance from the little banner elk town and restaurant. Quick drive to sugar and beech mountains. As mentioned you can really hear the people walking around upstairs. But we don’t have any complaints about this place.

Enjoyable stay in Banner Elk

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Banner Elk. The home was very clean and comfortable for our family of four and my father. The location is very convenient and we walked down the hill into town for a delicious dinner at Sorrento’s one evening. It is a short drive to skiing at Sugar Mountain and Tubing at Hawks Nest. Communication with the owner was great and we felt safe staying here.

Love Banner Elk

If you are looking for “high end”, this Condo is not for you. It is comfortable & clean and owner goes out of the way to provide lots of little conveniences in bathroom & kitchen. **Owner quickly responds to email and easy to ask questions . It is a great location to visit all near interest points & restaurants. Great location to use nearby ski and snow tubing venues. However, the electric heat system is a tad outdated and not sure how comfortable it would be on a cold winter day.The outside deck is small but a nice place to sit but not for outdoor table eating. The owner asks that the gas log fireplace be not used but it is small and not in the best location anyway. There is no hot tub on the property. Price point is reasonable and the pictures are accurate. Great for a family to be together, play board games and visit the wonderful area of Banner Elk There is no live TV but streaming works well for movies. A nice basic Condo that we would book again as it meets our simple needs to be together and visit all the resources of the area.

Great location and property

We came to the area with friends to get a Christmas tree and to do some holiday shopping. The house is in a great location. Walking distance to banner elk. The home was very cosy for our party of 8. We had everything that we needed at the condo to make our stay enjoyable. The host was very responsive. We hope to come back to this condo and area again next year.

This property was perfect for our long weekend away. The property LITERALLY overlooks downtown Banner Elk…. If the weather is nice you can walk just about everywhere! The condo was clean, cozy, and the BEDS were some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in! The owner was SO helpful and communicative, which made the whole process so easy (check in, recommendations, etc). I would HIGHLY a recommend this property and hope to stay there again myself!

This condo was conveniently located, clean and well equipped. They even included amenities that you get in hotels in case you forgot something. I have never stayed at a rental tgat provided the basic cooking supplies (salt, pepper, olive oil etc) and then some (coffee, tea and hot chocolate). Communications with the owner were a breeze!
