Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table, surrounded by the cabin's rustic charm. Dining is also available on the wonderful deck where you feel like you are in a tree house away from the world!

After a day of outdoor exploration, unwind on the balcony with a cup of coffee, your favorite beverage or relax in the living room, where you'll find good old fashioned games to unplug and enjoy some family time. The cabin also features two bathrooms, plenty of towels, guest toiletries, a hair dryer, an iron and board, air conditioning in both bedrooms, heating throughout, and wonderful linens, ensuring your comfort throughout your stay.

*Things To Note Please
~Stairs are required to enter this property. We ask our guests to make sure this is something they are comfortable with prior to booking.
~The drive does have a slight incline as so many mountain properties do! It is what make us the mountains. It is paved, however, manageable by 99% of our guests regardless of the type of car they may drive. And... it is maintained in the winter by a wonderful local gentleman on call for us with his snow plow! He never lets us down and we feel super fortunate to have him look after our driveway on the many wintry days the high country produces!
~The property does have 1 security camera facing the driveway and mounted above the garage. This is for monitoring the property when it is unoccupied and for monitoring winter conditions of the drive. We turn it off when our guests arrive except to periodically check conditions of snow accumulation. There are no other cameras inside or out on our property.
This cabin's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Flat Top Brewing Company. Laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cabin.

Short Visit to Mountains and Friends

It was perfect. It’s conveniently located near Banner Elk restaurants and the park, as well as other activities. Decorated in a welcoming mountain style with lots of bear accents, it had everything we needed. My husband and I had a relaxing visit and plan to return. Lisa (the owner) was a great communicator and made me feel like we were already friends!

Moto trip

3of us came to the mountains on motorcycles for fellowship and fun. Having a garage was a nice bonus. We walked to town for dinner and while there wasn't a sidewalk some of the time it was wide and we could walk beside the creek. I would definitely stay again

The house was exactly as advertised, and it was clean and welcoming. Lisa responds to messages promptly, and directions to the house are spot on. Only negative is the steep, narrow driveway. I have a big truck, but a small car can park easily.

Cozy weekend

This mountain cabin features wrap around decks that are nestled in rhododendron and offer some privacy. It is perfectly situated for a relaxing Banner Elk town visit, a Beech Mt. adventure, and treks into Boone. We enjoyed the games and snacks provided by the host. The house offered everything we were looking for. And the host was very proactively available.

Best Little Cabin in Banner Elk

This cabin is a favorite of ours. This was our second stay here. Each time the owner has always made the check-in and check-out process seamless. She always communicates in a timely manner to make sure you have all you need for your stay in the Banner Elk area. This cabin is conveniently located less than a mile from the Banner Elk town center making it easy drive to our favorite breakfast spot the Banner Elk Cafe. Our favorite feature of the cabin is the fireplace. We sat in front of it for hours just chatting. The owners also make sure you have plenty of wood to burn. We will definitely be heading back to this cabin in the near future!

Perfect Mountain Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in A Frame of Minds that was so easy to get to, first class in comfort, and very pleasing mountain decor that has a very thoughtful host. Plus after experiencing having a garage with a remote opener is now a must have especially in winter. We would stay here again.

Comfortable R&R

We enjoyed this home. It was quiet and comfortable. The layout of the cabin was very workable, and the kitchen seemed to have what you would need to cook a meal, although we did not do so. Hosts provided coffee, tea, and some snacks, which was a very nice touch. We appreciated having the spectrum cable TV as well as a good internet connection. One regret on a warm day was that we could not get windows open, and the screens on the patio doors were not workable. I suppose this does not matter during most seasons, but we would have enjoyed it since outdoor cushions and chairs were wet much of the time we were there. The place had easy access to town, although we did not walk it as we are getting up there in age! Young folks would have no problems. We had a nice relaxing few days. Thank you.

Better than advertised

I can only give 5 stars for this property since 10 is not an available choice. The cabin was all we could have hoped for, and more. A very comfortable and cozy get away, tucked nicely in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We enjoyed the convenience of being just a short drive from town, and the walk on the nearby Greenway was great. Lisa (the owner) was extremely friendly and accommodating... the personalized welcome to our family left for us on the kitchen table was an especially thoughtful touch. We would most certainly look to this property again and again for future trips to the area.

Wonderful Cabin

Cabin is tucked away in the woods but not far from the store or restaurants, best of both worlds! Clean and was already stocked with firewood and all the other supplies we needed for our stay. Lisa was very helpful during the process and answered any questions we had along the way. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to the mountains!
