The house was exactly as listed. It is older, but well cared for. It was clean and spacious, and conveniently located near winter activities. My kids LOVED the video games and large yard. We enjoyed our stay and would rent here again
Great little place tucked away in the hills. Kitchen was barely stocked but we made it work. Fireplace was great to warm up after a day in the snow!! Thanks for having us.
Iâve stayed at many rental properties and this is by far, the cleanest Iâve seen. Beds were comfortable & everything we needed was available inside the rental. Property is conveniently located to downtown Banner Elk, Alpine Coaster & Sugar Mountain. I liked that the roads leading up to the property werenât too steep with cliffs on the sides like other mountain rentals we stayed at. The check-in process was easy & the owner was very responsive to any questions I had.
Minutes from report parking lots, easy access to Bammer Elk restaurants. I would not plan to cook gourmet meals but it has the basics to support breakfast and packing lunches for skiing/hiking.
We had a great stay at this Mountain Retreat! It was perfect for our family and very close to both Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain for skiing. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. Our kids loved the arcade machine. Sherri was a great hostess. She answered our questions and responded quickly. We would definitely stay here again!
This cozy cabin was perfect for our group of 2 adults and 3 kids! We were there to ski at Beech Mountain for 2 days, and the cabin was an easy driving distance + great to come home to relax in after skiing. The kids loved the video game machine and massage chairs. We would like to come back in warmer weather to explore more of the property.
House is in great location, in between sugar mountain and beech mountain. We skied at both resorts which were 10 mins drive. House was clean, I had couple questions during our stay and Sherri was responding within mins. We had great time!
Planned a surprise last minute getaway for the wife and kids, and so glad we chose this house. Sherri was a great host and very responsive to any questions I had. House was super clean, and had everything you need for your stay, especially in the kitchen. Besides your own food and spices, you have everything you need to cook and entertain.
Big living room with a large fireplace and great little front porch with rockers. Kids loved the arcade game and sledding down the leaves! Beds were super comfy, and there were tons of games and movies to use. Nice little deck out back with a propane grill and wood fire pit.
Perfect location just a few blocks to Banner Elk and close to every spot in the area (Linville Falls, Blowing Rock, Boone, Beech, Sugar, etc). Cell service is great at the house. Outside at night, you couldn't hear a thing, which is just what I wanted - close enough to everything but far away from the hustle and bustle of the real world!
One thing I would recommend for anyone else is to bring a few fire starter logs. Sherri has tons of firewood for guests, but I did notice some pieces weren't as dry as others and took some work to get a fire going (especially outside). Not so much a problem inside. This isn't a gripe at all, but more just a heads up so you'll be able to get a fire going quick without having so much smoke in the beginning. I had a box of fire starter cubes which worked okay, but I should have brought some fire starter logs, so it's more of a planning issue on my part. But once the fires were going, you definitely aren't running out of wood (there are stacks all over the property)!
Thanks Sherri! We'll be back!!
Exactly what we needed; my only regret is that we could only stay two nights but that's on us. :) Absolutely beautiful area. Kids loved the arcade game and I loved the porch... Sherri was very quick on responding to any question I had. No hesitation recommending it if you need a simple, peaceful escape.
Came for a ski weekend with 6 friends. House was very clean and close to both downtown and the ski mountain. The house had everything we needed for a good time - cookware to make meals, a fire pit for hanging out, and a tv with all the apps for winding down.
Check in was easy and Sherri was super responsive, answering all our questions in real time.
Definitely hoping to come back!
Easy check-in. Property was exactly as described. We really enjoyed the fire place (bring your own wood). Home was very clean. Sherri was excellent and responded to all questions quickly. We would stay here again.
We stayed in this cabin so our FL raised kids could see snow. We loved it! We got a ton of snow and our kids were sledding down the driveway. The cabin is at the end of a small neighborhood and we got daily visits from deer and enjoyed the views.
Due to a heavy snowstorm we were unable to leave when planned and our host worked with us to stay the extra night. We made great memories as a family! We will definitely come back.
Wonderful sums up our stay. Our children wanted snow for Christmas. We managed to find this house and everything seemed to fall into place. With Sherriâs suggestions, we found a tubing place nearby. Our little ones loved the video games and the basket of blocks in one of the closets was a a huge hit! The kitchen was well stocked and we even played a Christmas trivia game that was in the kitchen table. If youâre thinking of booking this place, I highly recommend doing so. We were not disappointed and look forward to staying here again when we return for our next mountain adventure.
The cabin is lovely and in a nice quiet area set back from the road so the only noise we heard was from nature. The cabin had ample room for our 5 guests and had everything that we needed for our three day stay. There were only a few issues we encountered during the stay but those were minimal. The night we arrived there was a car blocking the parking area so we had to unload our vehicle on a steep incline in front of the garage. The rest of the nights the space was easily accessible so it was likely just an oversight that first night. Another issue was that when we arrived the first night, the light over the entry door was not functional so the stairs leading to the door were dark as well as the keypad for the door. Overall we certainly enjoyed our stay and are appreciative to the host for providing a wonderful cabin for us to enjoy.
We loved staying at the property, it was located near everything we wanted to do. House was clean and has a lot of room to move around in. Had a grill,fire pit and corn hole boards.. lots of games and stuff for kids to play with.. WiFi was very good.Can't say anything bad about this place. We will probably stay here again.
We loved the home and area. There aren't really any "views" but the area is quiet and private within the trees. The home was very clean inside. The only issue we found were a few pots and pans that were not cleaned very well. If there had been a 4.5 I'd have chosen that. But because it wasn't a huge thing I just couldn't bring myself to leave a 4 because that's just too low. These ratings should have half scores.
We very much enjoyed the fire pit. Being the end of September and temps dipping into the 40's it was a fantastic addition to our stay. There was plenty of kindling though we did have to bring our own wood bundles. It had rained a lot and the wood there was too wet to burn. I received that information through correspondence with the owner. She responded quickly to all my questions which was great.
We didn't use the front porch like I thought we would because if your short you cannot see past the bushes along the porch. I think cutting them back to the bottom of the deck would be better. My husband at 6'5' had no issues.
Initially we were a little leery about the tenant downstairs but that was a complete non-issue. We didn't even know anyone else was there other than seeing the car in it's designated spot in the mornings. Though I did worry about making too much noise and waking him up too early.
I would and probably will stay here again.
