Long weekend NC Ski trip

The property and house were clean, well appointed and beautiful! We Loved the arcade game and pinball machine! The gourmet kitchen is gorgeous and a great space to hangout. Nice setup with bedrooms to accommodate our diverse crowd. We had 1 couple, 2 friends and 1 teenager, so everyone had their own comfortable space. Paul, the owner was great to work with and very helpful. We will definitely book this property on our next Banner Elk trip!

Beautiful Mountain Lodge

What an amazing stay! Could not believe the beautiful views! The lodge was very clean and cozy! The firepit and country rockers made for a beautiful atmosphere. The gourmet kitchen was so fantastic we did not even want to go out to eat but did try a few restaurants that were wonderful and nearby. The Master suite was amazing with the Hugh fireplace. My family had a wonderful time and went to some of the nearby attractions and hope to come back soon. By the way, the owner was a delight to work with!
