Great Cabin! Perfect for a weekend get away. Cannot wait to go again. The cabin has everything you'd need for a week or weekend. It is extremely clean and the charcoal grill, jacuzzi and fire pit are a great features. Our dog loved the big yard and was able to explore. Great TV and wifi. Close to a lot of good hiking spots as well.

We had a wonderful stay at Franklin's cottage! All was as expected. This is a lovely peaceful spot.

This is a great little place, quiet, rustic, and beautiful. The description is accurate--there's a tv with netflix, 2 cozy beds, and a few basic food prep tools (microwave, kettle, keurig, fridge). Good for a romantic getaway and close to both Grandfather Mtn and Roan Mtn for awesome hiking. The river is also beautiful and there are trails on the opposite side.

Cozy and relaxing cottage with a great central location for multiple activities! Will definitely stay here again!

Franklins place was great if you're looking for a quiet, secluded place to stay. Peter lives at the bottom of the duplex and he was very nice. He does have a german shepard that scared us overtime we pulled up in our car because she was barking a lot and just seemed kind of aggressive since he would have to get her before we got out of the car. All in all, the place was very clean and a cute place on the inside! We didn't get to stay even one night though because we had a family emergency.

The accommodations were great! The house is right next to the main part of town so it was easy to find, and right as you step out of the car you can hear flowing water nearby. The perfect place to relax after a long day of skiing on the slopes!

We absolutely loved Franklin's rustic home in Banner Elk. The house is very close by anything you'd like to do in Banner Elk or in the surrounding towns, but it feels very secluded and natural being only steps to the Elk River. We particularly enjoyed our mornings drinking coffee while listening to the river. We brought our dog and I was very impressed that Franklin had dog bowls and a dog bed. I highly recommend Franklin's home and when we come back to the area will definitely try to stay here again.

Cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful hideaway! Absolutely wonderful!! Best sheets, awesome shower, "so very cool mom" from the 20 year old and "ummm mom.... can we come back here for longer next time" from the 13 year old. That speaks volumes! We were thrilled to find the Stone Cottage as we were heading to Edge of the World White Water Rafting 2.4 minutes away in the AM.

Terrific stay in Banner Elk. Very private cabin on the river. The space has all the amenities you could want for a night or 2. We took our 2 young children and were very comfortable.

We had a great stay and would recommend this house!

Feels like you're in the woods but a five minute drive from Banner Elk town.

Perfect setting for either a couple or small family oooking for a quiet getaway

Nice little place. Shawn is a solid host.

The two of us had a great stay here! Shawn was open with his communication and was waiting for us at the place to check-in even though it was after 10pm when we arrived. We were in town to ski and this place is about 5 minutes or less to Sugar Mountain, and about 15 minutes to Beech Mountain. Good location and cozy place = success!

Shawns cabin in the woods was wonderful! The perfect location for where we needed to be and a beautiful home. Wish we had time to use the fire pit. Nice stonework Shawn :). Friendly neighbors and neighborhood dogs too. Would reccomend :D. Caitlin Joy

This was our first Airbnb experience and it was a home run! Great cabin, convenient to everything and had probably the best bed (other than our own!) we have ever slept in! We were warm and cozy and so comfortable! Shawn's place had great personality and he was great with communication!

Shawn's home was perfect for a weekend retreat to the mountains! It is central to many activities, we visited the slopes and found a variety of shops and restaurants within a short distance. The home was cozy and it had everything we needed to feel right at home in the mountains. We loved being able to bring our pup along too!

Holly is welcoming and the place is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at, in the states and abroad!

The top hostel I've stayed at both in the U.S. and Europe. Holly was so nice and made everyone feel welcome. Can't wait to go back!

Close to the mountains. A few minutes from restaurants. If you need a safe, clean, comfortable bed for the night at a great price, this is the place.

This place is wonderful all around. Clean, neat, convenient, and especially Holly (the host) was super friendly and nice and always there to help people. It was the greatest hostel experience I had in my life. Will definitely come back!

Great hospitality, safe, clean

Exactly as described

Wonderful hostel. Exceptionally clean and well cared for. One of the best hostels I have every stayed in.

Though my stay at the Harmony Hostel was brief, I found myself completely at ease in the warm and congenial atmosphere that Holly has created. The building and amenities were impeccable and convenient, in addition to the sleeping quarters being very well allocated in space. As a guest in hostel, I still felt to have a fair degree of privacy, which as a solo female traveler was a very important factor in the overall comfort level I felt during my stay. Would absolutely recommend without hesitation to anyone looking to spend some time in the mountains of NC.

Beautiful view, temperate weather, comfortable bed, and a lot of nice hiking in the area. Arthur's place is great for either peacefully lounging around or roaming through a good portion of North Carolina and Tennessee (in day trip range are both Asheville and Knoxville, if you are so inclined). I'm sure it would be equally stunning in ski season. Arthur was very helpful, and even offered to bring up a portable A/C unit if the unit since the weather was projected to crack 80 degrees (a rarity on the mountain). Fortunately, I did not need it. I would definitely recommend this property.

Arthur's place is comfortable and quiet. The location is nice. It's close to the Downtown area of the mountain.

Excellent condo near Beech Mountain. Everything was clean and the kitchen had plenty of amenities! We stayed in and cooked, but this ideal location is near many restaurants & less than 10 mins from the ski resort.

Great location, friendly staff, very clean and well worth the price.

Great host. Great communication. Felt like staying at my own family condo.

Amazing, clean, friendly. Arthur is so pleasant. Great stay.

This is a great condo. Nice comfortable queen sized bed. New towels and linens. Attention to detail everywhere. Hunter fans in each room. Arthur is a man after my own heart with a "tool/junk/whatever/ drawer". Guys will know what I mean. Nicely equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the ESPN package for Wimbledon. The Wifi was fast and easy to access. Nice deck with great view of the ski mountain and mountain bikers coming down. Very quiet complex in the evening. Cool and low humidity as compared to ENC where we live. It was perfect for my wife and me.

Arthur was a great host. He was very responsive to any question i had both before and during my stay.

We just loved this condo. It was beautifully decorated, clean and extremely comfortable. Sitting out on the porch looking at the view was our favorite part. It was convenient to restaurants, hiking and area attractions. We had a rainy day but didn't mind because we were happy to hang in the condo. We are very picky about our vacation rentals, and this is now a favorite on our list. We will definitely return.

We absolutely loved the condo and the banner elk area!

Nice place...great views...well equipment for every need....good value

We stayed here for a quick getaway for our 10 year anniversary and it was perfect! Amazing view, close to town, extremely clean and cozy. Brian was a great host and even left us a bottle of wine! We will definitely be back!

A wonderful bottle of wine was left for us! Beautiful home with a gorgeous view! Would definitely stay again in the future!

We enjoyed our Holiday in this wonderfuly furnished condo that was immaculate and provided stunning views of the mountains. First class operation and Brian was a terrific host!

The condo was everything we wanted and more for a realaxing mountain weekend! Brian was easy to communicate with and allowed us to entire the condo early. The views were amazing and we were greated with a nice bottle of wine. I would stay here again without a hesitation!

Beautiful and well maintained home. The host was very responsive to our needs and the check-in/check-out was a breeze. We definitely plan on coming back.

Tidy and "cozy" (smallish). Clean, very functional and convenient to local stores etc. This is an artist's place so expect interesting pieces here and there. Kitchen is functional and plumbing is good. You need to know that. I had a good five night stay.

We decided last minute on Friday to go to the mountains for the weekend and found this cozy condo here. Quick acceptance was a relief. When we arrived the condo was exactly as described. Excellent communication with the owner we had no issues at all. I would definitely recommend this for a single person or a couple wanting a cozy getaway.

The condo is in a great location, directly across the highway from Sugar and a short drive to downtown Banner Elk for dining & entertainment. The central location also gives you a short drive to Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns & Falls, Apple Hill Farms, the Original Mast General Store, amongst other area attractions. The condo community is quiet and friendly, and Radha was a very helpful host with superb communication.

Such a lovely place to stay! Super convenient and so cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Radha was so nice and amazing with her communication. We will definitely book with her when we return!!!

If you are looking for a place that's tucked away, yet close to many of N.C.s beautiful landmarks.... I highly suggest that you visit Radah's home. You will be happy you did! Mary

Radha's place was a good location for my purpose in Banner Elk. It is comfortable and cozy and communication from Radha was great. It is very clean and i really appreciated all the thought that went into making the space comfortable for guests. Something as seemingly insignificant as a bedside table and lamp is MUCH appreciated, having stayed prevoously at several places without either. I can tell from the decor Radja has an enormous heart. I was there for work so I didn't get to take advantage of what the area has to offer, so I cannot make recommendations in that respect.

We had an amazing stay at Radha's place. The apartment is so comfy and cozy (as in the pictures) and we really loved to stay there. It offers everything you will need for your stay and Radha is a perfectly friendly host. I would really recommend everyone staying there when going to Banners Elk. I really wanna come back in winter!

This spot is just outstanding! We booked last minute, without expectations and Max's condo far exceeded our hopes! The location is perfect - very close to awesome restaurants in Banner Elk and a short drive from some of our favorite spots in Boone, Blowing Rock and Linville. We enjoyed Banner Elk Cafe and Hickerman's for breakfast and the Pedalin' Pig BBQ for dinner. We heard great things about Ramble Juice & Ice Cream, but never made it there. The building is quiet and everyone we encountered was very nice. Parking in the back was private and never crowded. The location felt very safe. The condo is immaculate, very clean and comfortable (cozy, actually - felt very much at home). Max was so open to communicate with us throughout our stay and even went out of the way to provide milk, cereal and a few snacks/coffee (and toiletries, too). We so appreciated this gesture. The condo has absolutely everything you would ever need (including a full washer and dryer!, good wifi and tv). The bed was comfortable and we slept well! This was a perfect stay for us and the price was SO reasonable for what you get! We visit the mountains a lot and fully intend to be back to stay again, as we couldn't have asked for more. We hope you enjoy your stay here as much as we did! Thank you, Max!!

Dianne's place is in a quiet, secluded area but close to a resort-like downtown with choices for great food/live entertainment or you can use the kitchen which has all of the things you need to make a meal for yourself.

We had such a great experience staying at Dianna's house! It is the perfect getaway. The house is clean and stocked with everything you need...she even made banana chocolate chip muffins for our arrival. The bed is incredibly comfortable! Dianna left newspapers telling about local events and offered suggestions about hiking trails. We will definitely be back!

The area was beautiful, lots of things to do in the area. Dianna and her husband were very friendly and knowledgeable. The house was very serene and and beautiful scenery.

Quiet and peaceful spot in the mountains! Comfortable basement apartment with lots of nice little touches to make it feel luxurious, including local soap, home baked muffins and a complementary drink. Dianna was easy to communicate with and very flexible on check in/check out. We loved being close to Banner Elk and Grandfather Mountain while still feeling like we were away from it all. Thanks for a great stay!

The Bear's Den is fabulous! My dog and I did not want to leave! It has everything you need for a relaxing stay in the mountains, and it's just around the corner from town, where there are great restaurants and shops... The den has a well-appointed kitchen for basic cooking, a nice washer and dryer with laundry soap provided, a comfy bed with lots of extra blankets should you need them, a TV with a good selection of DVDs to watch, a bath tub, a big green lawn and lots of property for you and your dog to explore, basics for breakfast, a super comfortable couch, two possible work spaces (one a kitchen table/counter, and one a table with two chairs), and a gas fireplace for warmth and ambience. Dianna thinks of everything, and she's a great conversationalist! Thanks, Dianna. We'll be back!

Great place on the top of a mountain. Host is great, if you need anything just let her know. Very clean and about 10-15min away from anything I needed. I will be back!

Relaxing secluded area. Cabin has a private entrance with outdoor swing, over sized rockers and a grill. We enjoyed hiking and swimming at nearby Lindville waterfalls. Had our own cookout and enjoyed the beautiful night sky. A long morning walk with great senery before enjoying our homemade muffins. Our hostess was knowlegable of the area attractions and events. Also made us very comfortable. I plan to return often. Loved it!!

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is perfect for couples or a family looking for a quiet location near mountain activities. We would love to use this cabin again for a family trip!

The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

My husband and I loved out quick getaway here! The cabin was immaculate, fresh and updated while decorated in a charming way (like the watering can shower head!) We felt very welcomed by the fresh muffins. It was a great location, too. We would love to stay here again!

A secluded, private cabin nestled with in walking distance to others, yet still private. A wonderfully appointed space with all the kitchen needs thought out, comfortable bed, cute decor, a comfortable space with an attentive host that affords you privacy. A wonderfully private hot tub and green space for our pups to play. Cute fire put and grill. Sara has thought of everything for you. She provided great directions and a wonderful atmosphere.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mountaineer Cabin! Everything was newly updated and very clean. It was the perfect amount of space for our little family.

Had a great time, Sarah was very helpful :)

I booked this place with my boyfriend to getaway for a few days and go skiing/snowboarding. This cabin is absolutely beautiful. It is tucked away a little bit, but close enough to get to restaurants and shops. I love how it is uniquely decorated. The hot-tub was nice and had good views! The cabin was warm and cozy. And, lastly- it was very clean...probably the cleanest place I've stayed at on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) & airbnb. Hope to be back soon and for a little longer! Thank-you for letting us stay!

We had an amazing couple of days away in The Mountaineer cabin. I could not have asked for anything more...plush towels, a huge bed that slept like a dream, a beautiful cabin, a glorious porch with a hot tub and rocking chairs, and even chocolate muffins waiting for us upon our arrival. We have not been home 24 hours and have already scheduled a week off in November to go back...two days was not enough! We are hooked!!

Such an AWESOME place!! Immaculate, cozy and sweet! Perfect for our little get away! We will definitely be coming back!!

This was our first Airbnb experience and looks like we are late to the party once again. No more LaQuinta in Boone for us. We will be back for sure.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Lawrence and Patricia's lovely home. Their home is located on a quiet cul de sac which is close to the Banner Elk Greenway. We would walk our dogs on it on a daily basis. The home is in walking distance to local restaurants . The home has 3 nice size bedrooms and a loft that can be used as a bedroom. The kitchen is big, and contains all the supplies that you could need in order to cook. Lawrence texted us several times to see how we were doing and if we needed anything . We loved staying in their lovely home and would highly recommend it to others.

We LOVED our stay. Perfect place for a group weekend ski trip. Great home for a great value. Living spaces were very comfortable. Everything we needed was available for our use. Lawrence and Patricia were extremely accommodating and were available 24/7 for any questions. If we do another sugar mountain ski trip, we will be staying here again.

Location, location, location! We specifically chose this house because of its location in downtown Banner Elk, close to the park. With two younger children, our family loves Tate-Evans Park because of its fabulous playground...and the creek running through it. By staying in this house, you are literally just a few steps away from the (URL HIDDEN) well other fun restaurants and shops downtown! The owners' communication was fabulous - they were always checking in to make sure our experience was top-notch! Great (and well-stocked) house top-to-bottom with a lovely porch for relaxing. We can't wait to come back!

Great location ! Very nice house to stay in beds were amazing ! Would reccomend it

We had a great stay. The accommodation were above and beyond. The beds are cozy and the home was neat and clean. We would walk to town though a beautiful park and have breakfast. My 2 yr old Daughter would play in the stream next to the park on our walks.

We had a wonderful time at Kristin's cottage! The cottage was clean, adorable and well stocked. It had everything we needed and felt like home. The cottage is in a great neighborhood with friendly people and dogs and a central location. Kristin is a very generous, kind and gracious host. In addition a talented decorator (the cottage is beautifully decorated). She responded promptly to my questions. I would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain retreat.

We had a great experience. The house is very clean and comfortable. You'll have everything you need to cook in the kitchen or grill on the deck. The amenities such as wi-fi, cable, gas logs, steam shower are all easy to use and work well. We brought our dogs who loved the visits from the very friendly and goofy neighborhood dogs. The location has a nice mountain view and is very close to Downtown Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain and the ski slopes. We look forward to visiting again!

This was a great and affordable place for a family of 4 to stay in Banner Elk. The house was decorated beautifully, it was clean and well maintained, the surrounding area was pretty and it was easily accessible from the main road. It's also a great location for doing things in Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, and Grandfather. Kristin was so easy to work with and we felt relaxed while there. I would definitely stay again.

Awesome house, beautiful views, great neighbors, I loved it.

Perfect get-away for a mountain vacation. We loved the decor! Very well-stocked, an unexpected pleasure. Nice view off the back deck. We brought our golden retriever, who attracted a lot of friends. Great neighborhood for a walk. We would recommend this cottage and hope to return.

The Tree House Cottage was an awesome spot to stay for our visit to the NC mountains, right near the ski resorts and Grandfather mountain. We were really happy to be staying away from the crowds over the holiday weekend. Kristin was great at providing information and the house had everything we needed. The neighbor even came by to check-in with us and make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to this area.

The cottage was in a lovely, restful spot with great views off the back deck, which is equipped for al fresco dining and is incredibly private. Everything worked very well and we had no problems figuring out how to use or find anything in the kitchen or baths. All that we needed was provided in a thoughtful manner. It was a great place to base our strenuous hiking of Grandfather mountain! The steam shower was a nice touch for recovery and we enjoyed the back deck's views and the incredibly friendly neighborhood dogs! The only thing to take into consideration is that the upstairs bedroom is an open loft connecting to the living space below, so if someone wakes up earlier or goes to bed later sleep is hard for the people upstairs. We were two couples and fortunately had mostly similar waking and sleeping hours (although one is an early bird and woke us up puttering around the kitchen for early coffee on Sunday morning!) I would certainly be happy to visit again and can recommend this house for a party of the appropriate size and disposition!

Loved the tree house cottage! The neighborhood is perfect. It's quiet, neighborly, and in a perfect location right down the street from Sugar mountain and a short drive to Beech mtn. The house is cozy with everything you need for a great winter (and summer) vacation. We would definitely like to come back!

This house is an absolute gem! It is a beautiful home, well furnished and decorated, very clean and well maintained, nestled into the side of a mountain with dramatic yet very peaceful views. It is very private and secluded, yet just minutes from downtown Banner Elk. I came with my (2) teenage children and all of us loved loved loved this house and location. It is centrally located to Boone, Blowing Rock, and Linville Falls which gave us ample hiking, caving, and whitewater rafting. Thank you so much Jennifer!

La casa estaba muy limpia, muy agradable. muebles cómodos y buenas camas. Todo era perfecto. Las vistas eran impresionantes de la casa y cerca de las zonas de esquí que éxito también. Recomiendo esta casa a cualquiera que quiera un buen lugar para quedarse !!

We had an amazing time at Jon and Jennifer's cabin! The location was great and the house was very clean. Jon provided us with a list of various hikes in the area along with other recommendations about things to do in the mountains. I highly recommend staying here!

Such a wonderful cabin. The wrap around decks let you take in the natural beauty of the area while you unwind. Do yourself a favor, turn the phones off, get a glass of wine and sit on the deck with a book and feel the stress disappear. It is absolutely worth it to spend some relaxing moments in this dream home! Jonathan & Jennifer always answered any questions immediately and were super friendly and helpful throughout. Top notch.

no public review

This is a very nice house. The living room, kitchen, and dining room are great spaces. The downstairs floorplan is a bit odd, with one bedroom beyond the room with the bunk beds. But it all works out well for 2 couples and some kids. The kitchen was very well equipped, with everything you would need to cook.

propiedad increíble. Cerca de muchas atracciones. Vista impresionante. ¡¡¡¡Muchas gracias!!!!

Fabulous mountain views including Grandfather Mountain. Spacious rooms. Upstairs master has floor to ceiling windows and vey nicely decorated. Plenty of room for one or two families to spread out. And, this was the first AirBnB home we've stayed at that had a pizza cutter! Road to the home is gravel and had some minor washouts. Might be a difficult drive for a low slung sports car.

The house is clean, spacious (large enough for 7 adults and 3 children), and beautifully furnished. The long range views are spectacular! Ski Beech and Sugar Mountain are a short drive away. There are also many different restaurants, shops, and ski rental options nearby. Our family had a great vacation!!!

This cabin is absolutely stunning. It is very spacious and comfortable with an upscale feel. A few of the guests in my party commented that this has been the best cabin they have stayed in. John has been a great host and was great with communication before and during our stay. The cabin itself is absolutely gorgeous. It has been beautifully remodeled with intricate attention to detail in design and quality. The view from the cabin is stunning. It is also a very close drive to Sugar Mountain Ski Resort as well as great hiking trails. I will most certainly be back.

Beautiful home, amazing views. Would love to revisit again!

Longview was exactly what our family needed to relax at the end of the busy Christmas season! We stayed their just before Christmas and returned home rested and ready for the big day! The views were incredible! The kitchen was stocked better than almost anywhere else we have been over the years and John was great! Everything in the house was top end! Our stay was truly terrific and there was plenty of room for everyone! We look forward to returning in the near future!

Longview is a great location. Views are spectacular, and everything as described. John was very responsive and answered any question I had. Would highly recommend for groups making a trip to Banner Elk/ Boone area.

This house is PERFECT for a mountain getaway. We went with a group of friends and everyone loved the house and all it had to offer. There was plenty of room for everyone, including the many rooms with big-screen TVs for everyone to be able to watch the movie they wanted. There was plenty of parking at the house. The hot tub was fabulous too. The house is also decorated beautifully which just makes the stay that much more enjoyable. The views are amazing from this home. We easily got to both Beech & Sugar Mountain for skiing and tubing.

The place was beautiful and everything was as advertised. Perfect venue for a ski trip. All around excellent experience!

Beautiful setting, lovely home, well organized and appointed. We would come again.
