We loved our stay here! It was such a cozy little place and close driving distance to all the fun winter activities. Would definitely recommend!! Very communicative and place was clean!
Absolutely loved the location of this condo! Easy walk to town or the college. We enjoyed sitting on the deck playing games while listening to the music from town.
This place is my home away from home. The location is perfect for me, has a great feel and a swing on the porch. Its everything I need to enjoy the mounains
I booked Bearadise 2 for my parents, while my husband and I were in Bearadise 1 downstairs. They really enjoyed it. Andrew takes great care of his properties and is always prompt with communication. Definitely recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was a very clean place tucked away from the hustle and bustle yet conveniently located to restaurants and ski resorts. We appreciate the owner providing some necessary home items and being so quick to respond.
We had family staying elsewhere in Banner Elk and used that location a lot but the house was clean, beds comfortable and the porch was a great place to relax.
Being able to bring our dogs was a big plus.
Our one suggestion is to add more outlets in the kitchen. Unless we unplugged the microwave or coffee maker, we had to plug the toaster in by the TV in the living room.
Overall, thanks for a great stay! We would definitely come back!
First impression, very cute cabin duplex; close to downtown. Easy driveway to get in and out of. Not a 5 minute walk but quick and easy driving distance. Cleaners had not come when we arrived for check in, host was apologetic and graciously offered us refund for our stay. Wish we had arrived to a clean cabin - looked like it wouldâve been a fun house.
WOW....what a wonderful, peaceful stay. The unit was great. The view, the weather, the location were wonderful.
If I had to point out anything negative it was that the front porch light was out. (It was supposed to stay on at all times.) Other then that minor thing, we will definitely be returning!!! What a great place!!!!
This town and community is the cutest thing ever. We came up here to ski Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain and thought we would stay in between the two mountains in Banner Elk. This little cabin was perfectly situated and walking distance to great restaurants (recommend Stone Wall) and just 15 minutes to each mountain. It was the perfect little rental for two couples. We had Bearside #2 and we could hear the footsteps of Bearside 3 as I'm sure Bearside #1 could hear ours but it wasn't distracting. For the location and price these cabins are awesome.
Rustic, woodsy, needing new futon furniture in living room & more lighting in all rooms. Outdoor back patio needs updating & kitchen needs more basic essentials such as baking pans, glasses, forks, knives & spoons. There were no spare sheets for both beds & nothing for futons if you had guests. Towels were minimal also. Landlord was very pleasant & helpful.
Pros:
Very comfortable beds
Plenty of space
Excellent location
Cons:
Loud floors! We were squeaking, the people above us and their dog were squeaking all night, it was a squeaky wooden orchestra.
The shower has terribly low water pressure and the temperature was up and down as you shower.
Nowhere to hang towels. An over the door hook rack would fix easily.
The fridge was very loud.
We would've been likely to stay again had we gotten any sleep, but we were exhausted the whole trip. But the people above us had a dog that paced all night so that skews our perspective some. The shower was not a good experience either though.
Wonderful stay at a wonderful property! Very quiet and relaxing. The cabin was well appointed with great amenities. We look forward to our next visit to Bearadise!
Host was very responsive and handled quickly any small issue that came up. Great location - close to downtown and the unit was well supplied, had ample parking, fire pit/ grill and was very clean. I plan to stay many more times!
