Perfect location for our girls trip. It was exactly as described. Place was very clean. Easy check in process. Host very responsive with communication. Breathtaking views. LOVED all the windows in the living room that overlooked downtown Banner Elk. We felt very safe and comfortable. We didn’t find it walkable as described due to hilly roads. Overall this was an excellent place and would definitely stay here again.

Mary F., Brevard. US,

Stayed Aug 2025. We left after one night due to safety issues observed on arrival. The floors were buckled and uneven with a measured 4–5 slope, which made walking feel unstable; the bathroom door would not close and the bathtub dipped and squeaked when stepped in. The unit only provided a consumer aerosol “fire spray,” not a UL-rated fire extinguisher. The listing also describes the place as “walking distance to town” but the town is at the bottom of a steep hill and is not accessible for many older or mobility-limited guests. We reported these issues to VRBO during our stay. Future guests should confirm repairs and proper safety equipment before booking.
Only a consumer aerosol fire spray provided, not a UL-rated portable extinguisher.

Wonderful, quiet 5-star condo with very thoughtful responsive host

Had a wonderful stay at this lovely, quiet 5-star condo very convenient to the local area. Host was welcoming, very responsive via email or text message. Very easy check-in process to access the condo. Condo was very clean, spacious, with a well-stocked kitchen with many thoughtful touches. Host had a wonderful small supply of treats (tea, Keurig K-cups, instant oatmeal, popcorn, mints) to enjoy. Beds were clean and comfortable with linens in very good shape. Wi-fi worked well with more than adequate bandwidth for a party of three using multiple laptops and tablets. Website photos are representative of the condo. Host provided a very helpful guest book of local dining options, points of interest, etc. We ate in at several restaurants in the downtown area that were excellent: good food, good value for money and very pleasant outdoor atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to staying here again.
