The property was as advertised and was excellent. Everything is very new, and the rental was very comfortable. In addition, the location was perfect. Close to everything Banner Elk has to offer without a long drive. Highly recommend this place and will be back in the future!
Beautiful cabin with so much love in every detail. Our son loved the game room, secret path, and “kids only” sign. We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to come back next year!Pacillo-Garcia Family
We were in town for a tour of Lees-McRae. It was the perfect distance to town and campus - we had everything we needed. Even though my son is 17, he was excited about the game room as secret passage.
