Our family of 10 had a wonderful week in Banner Elk while staying at the River House. This was the best "stocked" VRBO we have ever stayed in. Everything we needed to make us feel at home was there: paper towels, garbage bags, condiments in the refrigerator, indoor and outdoor games, etc. We spent most of our time on the deck, eating, looking and listening to the river, enjoying the hot-tub, playing games, etc. Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, trout fishing, etc. are a short drive away. The River House is a very comfortable home in a beautiful setting.
