Could be better

We knew from previous reviews that the pullout sofa bed would be uncomfortable, and figured we would deal with it because the place is a good price and location. This was the WORST mattress I have ever laid on. Do not book this place if you plan to have adults sleep on the pullout. You can literally feel every single spring of the mattress poking into your body with zero cushion. And we are really not that picky about sleeping. Besides this absolute dealbreaker the place has so much potential to be awesome, if only the local property team would provide adequately for guests and respond to issues. For four guests, they provided 6 pillow cases, one comforter, and one throw blanket. There was an overly eager Vacasa representative texting me the whole trip asking if there was anything we needed, but when I requested an additional comforter and pillow cases they repeatedly told me they would notify the local team who would take care of it. We stayed for 4 nights and the local team never showed up or contacted us. On the first night the propane tank on the fireplace went out, and again the local team never showed up to replace it. Bottom line is you get what you pay for. The pros of this are great location for skiing sugar mountain, also nice specialized touches for dog guests like bowls, beds, mat and bones. If you plan to come, don’t expect the gas fireplace to have propane and bring your own air mattress and bedding if you have more than two people.

Great Stay Close to Sugar Mountain

The inside of the property was cozy, and advertised exactly how pictured. Only issue I had was the outside parking area had some cans left out from a different neighbor. Overall great spot though

Cute spot! But misleading listing.

The location of this property was very convenient and the condo itself was cute. However, the listing was misleading. The kitchen was VERY cramped and by no means as equipped as the listing described. Additionally the fire table did not work. It was moderately clean but there was a lack of attention to detail. It served our needs as we were mainly out and about but had expected more!

Great condo, great area

Cozy little condo with a lot to do around it. The place was nice and clean, I only gave it 4 stars for cleanliness because there were quite a lot of cellar spiders (completely harmless and not scary, just appeared everywhere in the house). Overall very nice stay

Great visit to Banner Elk

We met our friends for the weekend. They rented unit next door so great set up. Great pet friendly rental and area! Unit is nicely updated and comfortable, perfect for a small family group. Clean, internet and TVs worked great. Bathroom nice. Quiet at night in the area. Very good value for the price. Would recommend to others for a visit.
