About this property

Walk to downtown Banner Elk, Excellent Views, 1BD 1BA

Welcome to “Banner Views II”, our second home we rent to guests, referrals, and friends!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Banner Elk, Banner Views II boasts amazing views of the valley, Sugar Mountain, and peak-a-boo views of Grandfather Mountain. This newly remodeled mountain cabin features, one bedroom and one bath plus a pull out sleeper sofa. Amenities include an oversized front porch overlooking the valley and sugar mountain, gas fireplace, cable TV, wifi, brand-new TVs (2), full-sized washer/dryer, and stainless appliances. A queen bed and a queen sleepater/sofa will accommodate up to 4 adults. With brand new flooring, custom wood ceiling, fresh paint, and all new furniture, the cabin is a fantastic place for a family vacation, romantic getaway, or girl’s weekend.

The cabin is a two minute walk to 10+ restaurants in downtown, a five minute walk to Lees-McRrae College, and a quick 10 minute walk to Kettell Beerworks. Also a two minute walk is the local park, hosting live music on Thursdays in the summer, various art festivals throughout the year (including the inaugural Beerfest), and the famous Wooly Worm Festival.

We are nicely situated between two ski resorts; Sugar Mountain is 10 minutes one way and Beech Mountain is ten minutes the other way. Walk to local favorite Edge of the World for a second-to-none white water rafting experience.

Perfect place for a ski trip

Perfect place for our family ski trip. Downtown is within walking distance, with plenty of places to get food and drinks, ski resorts are just a few minutes away in practically every direction, and countless places to rent equipment if needed nearby. We'll definitely stay here again next time we plan a trip to this area.

Great location. But we found a few issues others should know. Parking and getting in and out is a problem as the driveway is very small and tight. The steps leading into the unit are in poor repair and hazardous. We couldn’t find a thermostat anywhere in the unit and the AC blew cold air when we didn’t need it. The laminate flooring was sticky when walking on bare feet and the cleanliness was questionable.

Cute home in an amazing location

My husband and I stayed here as we explored Banner Elk and surrounding areas for 3 days with our pups. The home was clean and had the appropriate necessities! Brad was communicative with unexpected things, and was helpful in providing restaurant recommendations! Would love to stay here again when we come back to the area - our stay wasn’t long enough!

Great experience

Cozy space as advertised, tight parking if you are in a XL Vehicle, Tahoe or long truck. Walking distance to some great restaurants, ice cream parlor, and a arcade for the kids/teens. Quiet area with nice views. Only suggestion I have is bring a space heater if you are visiting in winter. They do have a gas space heater if you are comfortable operating one.comcomfortableoperating that.

We have a 4 wheel drive. If there had been more than our pickup and the renters from upstairs we could not have parked there. It could have been a lot cleaner.

Upon arrival, reasonable condition, entry went ok, neat inside. When leaving for dinner we didnt know how to lock up and tried to contact phone in email and they didnt know location or how to help. Someone staying in the "condo" upstairs fortunately came by and were able to help. Mattress was not comfortable. Shower door wouldn't stayed closed while showering, kept sliding open. Less than 1 roll of toilet paper left for two nights stay. Wont return book.

Why they chose this property

We toured properties all over the High Country. This was the ONLY place that was an easy walk to restaurants, had good views, and was convenient to the slopes.
