Disliked: Cleanliness
This stay was deeply disappointing and stressful, largely due to the owner’s handling of multiple serious issues. We arrived to a unit that had not been cleaned after prior guests, forcing us to clean the property ourselves during peak holiday week with no alternative lodging available.The heating was inadequate for winter conditions. One unit produced little to no heat, and the secondary unit could not maintain safe indoor temperatures. Indoor temps dropped to the low–mid 50s overnight while outside temperatures were below zero. We slept fully layered, blocked drafts with towels, and I left at 3 a.m. to buy firewood out of concern for my family’s safety.Backdoor lock did not work. Looking at prior reviews, it appears this had been a concern previously that was still never addressed. Basic supplies for the fireplace, including fire starters, were missing, requiring another trip out in severe weather. When these concerns were raised, the owner’s responses became defensive and escalating, rather than focused on resolution.We ultimately left early due to safety concerns. The owner agreed in writing to refund the final night, then later reversed that decision, offering shifting explanations after checkout.The property may have potential, but winter readiness, cleanliness standards, and professional, good-faith communication from the owner need major improvement. I would not recommend this property for cold-weather stays or for families expecting reliable support.

We did have a good stay at the condo but not without a few problems. We got in very late and had trouble getting into the condo and then it was very cold and no one had turned the heat on. Once we got a hold of the host he got us into the condo and then told us how to get the heat going. My only thoughts about the heat that if you know someone is coming you wouldn't have it totally off. Otherwise it was a very comfortable place.

Good stay, as advertised

The condo is older, but it is cute. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. We loved the balcony and the owner communication was great. There was a little bit of a musty smell, but Im very sensitive to smells and always travel with a candle for that reason. After lightning the candle, I didn't notice. We had a hard time figuring out the AC, but we closed the screen door and opened the sliding balcony door and that cooled us off. We would stay here again.

Was ok

Towel were stained, coffee maker did not work at all, deck roof leaks profusely and it appeared no one was in there for quite a while due to all the cobwebs everywhere. It was a nice place but needs some attention.

Great location, very clean, but broken thermostat

Small cute place, located on the bottom floor of a townhouse style place. The stay would have been perfect had it not been for the very loud dogs overhead in the apartment on top of us and the fact that the heat wouldn't turn off. There was a controller for the thermostat, but it didn't work and the knob on the actual heater was broken off. It was unseasonably warm the weekend we went and after propping the patio door open (to no avail) I had to turn off the breaker just to get the heat to stop. Room was small, but very tidy. Perfect size for me and my daughter for the night. A lamp in the main room would help with lighting. Currently just the ceiling fan over the bed and the small recessed lighting in the kitchen, so it was hard to play games etc. The dogs could be heard clambering around until about 10pm, so not an issue if you stay out late, but not great for a young child. Appreciated the book with restaurant suggestions and the distance to different places being included. Bear theme was very cute.

Wonderful location, very nice small place as a good home base to explore the area. Only complaint was inability to change the heat due a broken nob on the unit. Otherwise, very sweet experience.

Weekend Stay

Was attending a charity event in the area and needed a place to stay that was close to the event. The condo was easy to find, central to Banner Elk and ski/ hiking areas in the region. Perfect size space for a couple or solo stay. There are some steps to deal with so just be sure you're able to walk on stairs easily. I'm sure the view is great in winter but while there the trees were still very green. The host Eric was gracious and easy to reach. The space was quiet and comfortable. If you like to cook or eat in, bring some paper plates as there isn't a lot of dishware. Overall it was very nice visit.
