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.

My wife and I stayed here to get some skiing in, and it was perfect for us. We enjoyed the convenience to Sugar Mtn, and the wood burning fireplace. The host was super accommodating and very quick with responses to questions. He was also on point with checkin instructions and guidance. Thank You!

Perfect getaway for 1 or 2

This cute little apartment was a perfect place to stay to ski sugar mountain, which is directly across the street. The pictures were pretty accurate. It was neat and tidy and had been recently cleaned (the towels were even still warm). It’s small, just big enough for one or two but if you’re not planning on doing much more than having a place to rest and sleep after a long day of skiing or hiking this is perfect. Eric was a great host and very engaged. No complaints from me, but as another review mentioned be aware that it is in an apartment complex with another apt above and you can hear the people moving around very easily. So if it would bother you to hear people moving around at early or later hours this might not be for you. Overall, I really enjoyed the stay and would definitely choose to come back here.

Sweet chalet near ski slopes

This is a great little studio chalet near Sugar and Beech Mountains. It was clean, stylishly decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. It was completely comfortable for two people and easily accessible to restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shop, and attractions. While the condo complex is a little dated, the inside of this condo has been fully renovated and is up to date.
