About this property
Laurel Creek Lodge - Pet Friendly! Pool table, hot tub, 2 acres, hiking trail with creek!
Welcome to Laurel Creek Lodge, your new favorite mountain getaway spot!
Enter the home with just a few steps on the beautifully maintained rock path from the parking area. Inside you'll immediately feel at home in the mountains due to the tasteful decor, huge wall of windows, and vaulted ceilings. Relax in leather furniture around the fireplace and catch your favorite shows, and the folks preparing meals don't have to miss out on the conversation thanks to the open layout! The kitchen offers beautiful granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a live edge wooden bar, and several stools, and the dining table seats 6.
Downstairs is an amazing entertainment room that's sure to be a hit with all ages! Play countless games of pool, watch all your favorite movies, and have fun. There is also a full bath on this level. Step outside to the firepit just outside the house, or enjoy smores in the second firepit down by the creek! Oh yes, the creek at the bottom of the hill is guaranteed to be a favorite of everyone in your group, with its peaceful sounds and splashing fun. And just down the street is the neighborhood catch & release fishing pond.
Time for bed? Laurel Creek Lodge offers 4 bedrooms. On the main level you'll find a King master bedroom with attached bathroom, as well as a Queen bedroom with a second nearby bathroom. Upstairs is a loft area and on either side of the loft you'll find a bedroom with two twin beds. Dual zones for the main level and the upper level allow you to all stay comfortable in any weather.
On the main level deck, have a seat in any of the many selections of outdoor furniture and relax in the peaceful woods. During the warmer months you're sure to hear lots of bird songs. You might even spot a squirrel or a deer in the trees! On the lower level patio, relax and enjoy the brand new (fall 2021) Bullfrog Spas hot tub!
Perfectly located between Valle Crucis and Banner Elk, just ten minutes from downtown Banner Elk, Laurel Creek Lodge will be your family's new favorite getaway for years to come!
