We had the best time with family and friends. The house was perfect for a large group and in a wonderful location with the best view! There is so many hiking trails, wineries, restaurants, and fun activities for kids.
My husband and I brought our adult children and their spouses along with some family friends here for a long 4th of July weekend. There were plenty of beds and games and space to spread out. The views were breathtaking, the kitchen was well stocked and location was very convenient to local wineries, Beech Mountain and Banner Elk. The owners were very quick with responses to questions. We are already planning another trip back in the winter to go skiing! Pro tip....it does get hot on top of the mountain in the summer and the AC unit seems to have an issue keeping up so I recommend closing all the bedroom curtains and the shades in the living room aroundid afternoon to keep.it cool. In our opinion the loft area is not usable in the summer months due to the heat.
Our entire family including 5 grandchildren enjoyed a long weekend at this lovely home. Bedrooms and baths were just what we needed. It could have been cleaner but nothing that would keep me from staying there again. My only complaint is the seating for dining for 13 people was difficult. The view is unbeatable and the wood was well stocked so we could enjoy the fireplace on an extremely cold weekend. Hosts were very easy to communicate with.
The house was exactly as described online. It is a beautiful house, lots of room and very clean. We enjoyed our stay immensely. As owner states, be sure you have all-wheel or 4 wheel drive. Youâll need it. Thank you for letting us stay, we loved our time there!
It was an incredible place! Thank you so much for sharing your georgous place. It was beautiful! What made even more AwesomneI IT
SNOWED! The view was breath taking!
Our family gathered from 3 states to attend a wedding in Linville. It was a great house for all! Coffee/wine on the deck was the best- incredible view!
Spacious, well-appointed home with beautiful views!
My family had a wonderful stay at the Banner Elk Mountain Retreat! The rooms were spacious and spread out, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were plenty of games and of course the pool table and loft hide out for the kids. We were blessed with a significant snow fall that kept us from leaving the property one day, but it was worth it for the family time and unexpected fun in the snow. If you are visiting during the winter time, you 100% need a 4 wheel drive. The trip up and down the mountain was a bit treacherous after the snowfall. There is a bit of a drive to the most popular places to ski and tube, but we knew that going in and it didn't bother us. My only reason for not given 5 stars is that the kitchen and family room really need a deep clean. This is not unexpected for mountain homes with cleaning crews that are focused on surface level cleaning, and to be fair, I've only once experienced a mountain home that didn't need this. It wasn't enough to upset our visit, but it's something I would request before staying again. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and a views were incredible! For that alone, I would stay again.
The house and property were beautiful with plenty of space for our entire family to get together and celebrate two milestone birthdays. We would have been happy just hanging out on the deck soaking in the amazing mountain views but there was also plenty to do nearby. The owners were very helpful in providing information about the area, and very responsive when we needed something during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!
Property size was just what we needed. Clean and well appointed. Secluded with no neighbors in view. Owner was easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions
The view is stunning, the house is clean and plenty of supplies, games, very convenient. Our family really enjoy the stay and absolutely come back in our future trip NC. Host is very active respond the message, and provided all helpful info about the location, 5 stars service.
The location was great- private but not too remote. The house was amazing as everone had space of their own. The views and sunsets were a 10, as advertised.
We've owned land on this mountain for 25 years, but finally built our dream home in 2017. We spent years designing the cabin so that every bedroom and both living areas view the spectacular mountain vistas. No matter what fun things we may be doing on the property, we make it a point to meet together on the deck in time for the sunset over the mountains.
