It was such a cozy, home-like feeling of a cabin and our friends with a 4 year old easily accommodated just as easy as we did with a 2 month old baby! Beautiful place to stay!

The cabin was neat & tidy. Lots of towels and bath cloths. It was in a great location. It was a little difficult getting into the driveway though. But a neighbor told us about going up the hill & turning around to make getting into the driveway easier without spinning.

mountain cabin

The cozy mountain cabin is located in Banner Elk North Carolina, which is only 20 minutes from downtown Boone, which is pretty convenient for accessing activities in Boone. There was enough space for all my friends to comfortably stay. Just note that there is a gravel parking lot. My car got a bit stuck in the gravel, but was able to get it out pretty easily. The driveway to the cabin is a bit small and there is a tree root in the road. Other than that, the cabin suited our needs well and we enjoyed our stay.

From the moment we walked in to the cabin it felt like home away from home. The space was wonderful for our family’s two night stay, but it would have been a great place for a longer stay too! The home has a full kitchen if you would like to cook your own meals. The front porch is peaceful and comfy to sit and drink morning coffee. It is in a nice central location to all the places we needed to go to while visiting Boone and Valle Crucis. Just down the way a couple of miles is a perfect view of the old man sleeping (Grandfather Mountain.)

Lovely Mill Ridge Resort

This house is nestled in the Mill Ridge Resort off hwy 105 and offers tennis courts and a pool along with trails. The house was perfect for our group of 6 ages 17-66. Location is great off hwy 105 and close to Boone and Blowing Rock. Don’t miss a trip to Maw’s produce on hwy 105 in Foscoe while visiting.Hosts were always quick with a response. Looking forward to our next visit!The Prescott Family

The weekend was wet and cold but the house was a perfect retreat! Rain on the tin roof as we were inside sipping coffee and watching TV. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners were very proactive with check-in details and very responsive answering any questions we had while at the cabin. Thank you for a great weekend away!

Spoiling time for the grand children

Marvelous stay. Cozy house well equiped. Did not give cleanliness highest score because property had not really been de-winterized yet meaning, still a lot of leaves and some dirt on porches. We gave it a brush :-), not a big deal. And the house was spotless. I guess it’s normal coming out of a mountain winter. The location is very good with trails in close vicinity and lot’s of options in the region. Also good grocery options not too far away so if you forget an egg that is not a problem …
