The Sanctuary was the perfect place to stay for a family group with multiple adults. Three of the bedrooms have king beds and each have its own bathroom (1 shares with the kids room). Beautiful neighborhood and views. Very convenient drive to downtown Banner Elk.

The home was a beautiful property, with numerous fine touches and amenities. Additionally, the communication from the property manager was awesome. I especially enjoyed the steam room/shower. The photos do this property no justice, as it is absolutely stunning in person

Great Location - But property needs some attention
We loved the whole experience renting with Eagles Nest. The team was always accessible and very attentive. But, the property has a HORRIBLE moth ball smell in the master bedroom. To the point we went to Lowe's and bought scent mitigation items and baking soda. Also we could not use the master closest and had to keep the door closed the whole time and it still came out. Our kids were excited about the video game in the picture but it was missing and reportedly broken. Also the Fooseball table was broken too. Our property rep came out and we all repaired it together. Its a great property and the location is amazing but, it appears to need a little attention. We will definitely rent from Eagles Nest again with other locations until this one is repaired.

Keith,
Hello and thank you for your stay at The Sanctuary at The Lodges at Eagles Nest. At Mountain Realty & Rentals, we are always looking for ways we can improve the experience we provide our guests. We sincerely appreciate your advice on how we can maximize the potential for this property and will share these recommendations with the owner. We have since opened up that locked closet and removed anything that might have had mothballs in or around them as the mothballs themselves has been removed months ago. We have updated the listing to not show the arcade game as sadly this seems to be something that can not be fixed or replaced at this time. Thank you for your business and we look forward to our next opportunity to serve you.

The property is beautifully set in the North Carolina mountains with picturesque views all around it. It's conveniently located between Beech and Sugar mountain, 15-20 minutes to each one, and 7 minutes of those are just getting down the mountain the home is on.
Don't let the pictures deceive you, its everything you'd expect except for some reason they have no pictures of the downstairs which is a great bonus for the house. There is another TV, fireplace, pool table, foosball, and basketball down there!
Really enjoyed ourselves!

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your getaway and that the home exceeded your expectations! VRBO has a limit on photos and not all of the photos on our own site have shown up on the listing. We'll letting our team know so that we can take a look at it. Please come back anytime! - BRMR
The house was perfect for celebrating my Aunt’s 70th birthday. Location was perfect and within walking distance to the ropes course and putt putt. It had all the amenities a family needs to enjoy time together without having to leave if a “staycation” is what you want. The property manager responded immediately to questions and reached out numerous times to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again.

The Sanctuary was just as described. The vaulted ceilings are beautiful! One favorite was the outdoor fireplace on main level. The kitchen was well stocked and the house had everything we needed. (Unfortunately the arcade was not working.) The Lodges at Eagles Nest is a beautiful neighborhood.
