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.

Kevin, thank you for the review. We try to keep our kitchen stocked with everything guests needs (or that I would personally use if I were there). Feel free to PM me suggestions on things we could add to make the cooking experience even better.

GREAT PLACE FOR A FAMILY SKI GETAWAY!

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!

Affordable, Fun Ski Weekend with Kids

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.

Clean & convenient property!

I’ve stayed at many rental properties and this is by far, the cleanest I’ve 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 weren’t 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.

Great place for one or two families

It’s a great location in the middle of the woods on the mountains. Very clean, comfortable and well supplied interiors. Not completely isolated, yet has the privacy one would like. If you think you might reach after dark (like we did), communicate with the hosts to know properly how to locate the house and get in. Had a small hiccup there, otherwise everything was smooth. A 2nd full bath room would have been great for 2 families. The hosts are readily available on VRBO messaging and phone. Will definitely consider revisiting.

Not as clean as previously rated

Oven and stove burners were dirty with caked on food and crumbs from previous meals, freezer was so full we didn’t have room for the food we brought, opened bags of chips on the counter and something that looked like pills that my children found strewn in their dresser drawers. Homeowner’s car was parked in the driveway so we couldn’t park on the flat area and with the snow couldn’t park on the incline. Overall not the clean and confortable place we’d hoped for.

Hello, I am sorry that the cabin was not to your standards. We have all 5-star reviews and this news was unexpected. If you would have contacted me about it upon arrival I would have sent the cleaner back. Regardless your comments will help us to improve in the future. The little pink balls in the dresser are for moths and only in the master dresser. I'll remove them right away so that no one else has the same concern.

Dirty & Disappointing

Although the house had a lot of charm and reminded me of my parents' house in Pennsylvania when I was younger, we had a bunch of issues. We reached out to the host/owner, Sherri Frey-Giguere via the VRBO app, and she and her husband Kevin resolved a few of the issues the next day, but others could not be remedied, especially how dirty the house was.The road leading up to the house was so icy that even our AWD Honda Pilot had trouble getting up the road. It took us four tries, backing up and then trying again and again to move past the ice. As an FYI, we did ask prior to renting if there were any issues in getting up to the house from the road.The driveway at the house wasn't plowed, so we had to leave the truck at the base of the property. The stairs getting into the house were covered with ice and snow, which was not new snow, but from prior storms. The owners had the snow and ice removed from the stairs the next day, and salted the stairs and part of the landing, and we are very thankful for that as well.The bottom bunk of the bunkbeds was broken. The stove, refrigerator and countertop in the kitchen were all dirty…you could literally see dirt on them. We've also posted a longer copy of this review with pictures at the below URL, since we aren't able to post pictures here, and also think this review will be deleted.163treetopsln.wordpress.comAlso, don't get charmed by the arcade machine mentioned in the listing, as it's not that great.

Awesome All-around Getaway!

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!!

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!

Snow Trip

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 stay - just perfect for us

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 Sherri’s 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 you’re 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.
