About this property

Highland Mist Pet Friendly, Beautiful Views, Hot Tub, Game Tables, Winery Close by!

This custom Banner Elk cabin offers tremendous long range views, family room with gametables, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, firepit, and large hot tub in a peaceful setting near the Banner Elk Winery, convenient to downtown Banner Elk and Valle Crucis. This four bedroom 4+ bath home sleeps up to ten

Welcome to Highland Mist – you will be so impressed with the unique “top of the world” views in this custom Banner Elk home you will find it difficult to leave. This large lodge is located on a lofty hill with 180-degree views into North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. No matter the season you visit, the bucolic scene includes rolling hills, high mountain peaks, and deep valleys that will simply delight and help you unwind. Simply put, nature's bounty is your closest neighbor here in this special place.

This gorgeous, custom mountain cabin is certain to impress you, with its vast exposed beams, lofty ceilings, rustic trusses, and so many other elegant features and extra details especially designed for your comfort. From the moment you enter the door, you are inspired by its ambience of mountain style, complemented by the great room's cathedral ceiling and uniquely refined lodge decor.

You're our special guest here, so the great room warmly welcomes you, with plenty of fine leather furniture and over-stuffed seating, massive wood-burning stone fireplace, exposed logs, and large flat screen TV with DirecTV streaming services for live viewing. Cooking will be a pleasure for you, not a duty, in this elegant chefs' kitchen, complete with granite counters and large island with seating, and it includes all the modern implements for preparing delicious meals. Your group will gather to “break bread” and then stay to chat at the large wooden dining table with comfortable seating, lighted by the warm glow of the unique chandelier.

Most guests find themselves drawn outside to the spacious decks spanning the length of the lodge to view the mountains, an integral part of Highland Mist's attraction. Gather on the upholstered, comfortable outdoor seating around the outside stone-faced fireplace on the large covered deck and share quality time with friends and family while basking in the fire's glow. The large modern grill is the ideal spot for cooking tonight's feast, and you can even dine al fresco, mountain style at the outdoor dining table.

Ready to unwind? Walk down the large hallway on the main level and find the spacious master bedroom, decorated with an outdoor theme and with large windows to wake up to the amazing view, or fall asleep with the stars. You will be delighted by the inviting king bed and private tiled bathroom with walk-in shower and separate tub.

No detail for your comfort has been spared in Highland Mist, with its fine furnishings, and many wonderful details. A loft with large windows to view the far away mountains provides plenty of comfortable seating , a perfect place to curl up with a good book. The two upstairs bedrooms both have their own full baths as well, with a king bed in one and two twins in the other.

The lower level family room will keep the fun coming, with flat-screen TV, pool table and foosball table. The fourth bedroom is also on this level, with handcrafted custom queen size log bed and there is also a queen sleeper sofa for the extra guest, and fourth full bath. Step outside and enjoy the deluxe hot tub with its picturesque views of the woods and multi-layered mountains, and the night's deep darkness here will tempt you to bask in the shine of the nearby stars. On summer evenings, gather around the firepit and tell tall tales while roasting hot dogs and making s'mores.

Breathtaking views

We stayed at Highland Mist for 5 days, and it was everything we were hoping for. The views were amazing. We were able to relax and enjoy each other's company. The winery at the bottom of the hill was lovely and we were able to experience some of the small towns nearby.

Beautiful home away from home

This was a wonderful property for our family with three teenagers. The house was very clean and everything we needed to cook dinners and breakfast together was available. The views from the deck were beautiful and the outdoor fireplace was also a nice touch. The kids really loves the hot tub. We will definitely visit this place again!

Very comfortable cabin

The cabin was very comfortable for us and our adult four kids + 2 spouses! Kitchen had almost everything you need to cook Thanksgiving turkey and the house was very comfortable + roomy, though we were a little disappointed the outdoor fireplace couldn’t be used (on the porch).

Amazing view, great house!

We had such a great stay at Highland Mist! The view from the deck is gorgeous. Was great to have fire place on the deck and the fire pit on the lawn, we took advantage of both! Lower level was great for the kids, they got to play with foosball and the pool table can turn into ping pong. The house was super clean upon arrival, and check in was easy. I would definitely recommend and would book here again.

Wonderful house

We were 3 couples and a baby and had plenty of room to spread out. The house was very clean and comfortable. The view from the deck was spectacular. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub, the outdoor fireplace and the fire pit. It was also very close to the winery and downtown Banner Elk, which had many restaurant choices. I would recommend as a first choice if your looking for a mountain get away.

Lovely 🏔views

Highland Mist is a very special property. The sunsets from the deck are truly magnificent and the peaceful seclusion of the property is an introvert’s dream! Though it is kind of “tucked away” you are not far from downtown Banner Elk or Beech Mountain. Visiting with the neighboring cows and watching the deers roam through the yard was so relaxing. Would definitely stay again.
