The stunning surroundings and serene mountain air of Banner Elk await you with open arms here at Fox Run Retreat, so take that long-awaited ski getaway and rest easy. Step inside and you will be greeted with the warm wood accents, tall ceilings, and wonderful mountain views from nearly every room on the second floor of the home. Mornings and evenings can easily be spent on the spacious deck, as a fire table and seating away for you to reminisce with loved ones. When everyone returns to home base after a full day of fun, the great room will be just the place to kick back and watch a favorite show by the warmth of the gas fireplace. Plus, the chef of the group will be in paradise with all of the appliances and utensils needed to whip up a warm meal in the full kitchen!

When it is time to hit the hay, this home is comprised of two spacious floors and four bedrooms. The main bedroom is located on the main floor and boasts a king bed, mountain views, and an ensuite bathroom. Make your way downstairs and you will find three more bedrooms, all of them featuring queen beds. Plus, a bonus room is also downstairs with two desks to get some remote work done if need be!

What's nearby:
Though you will feel like you are tucked away from it all, this home is in a perfect location to get some privacy while still being close to all of the best attractions. If you happen to be visiting in winter, the skiers will love heading just over a mile north to Beech Mountain Ski Resort or seven miles south to Sugar Mountain Resort, Inc. Come summer the hiking and biking trails in the area are amazing and Grandfather Mountain State Park is home to the Mile High Swinging Bridge 14 miles from home base. Not to mention, the heart of Banner Elk offers a plethora of dining and shopping options.

Amazing views.

We needed a space to hold 8 people. We needed a space with minimal stairs for my 84 year old mother. Lots of space for everyone. It took time and searching looking for a needle in a haystack. But this home was a perfect fit. So happy to have found this location. We look forward to returning in the future.

Place had a beautiful view and accommodations. Window was out in one of the bedrooms with plexiglass taped in, which made room cold, but I am sure they have fixed now. Overall loved our stay.

Didn’t get my moneys worth.

The location was great, sugar mountain fireworks off the back porch were amazing. The home left a bit to be desired.

Million Dollar View!!! Had a great stay and plan on booking again. Plenty of room for short and long term stay. The kitchen is updated, with a good amount of counter space for cooking and serving a full house. A couple more trash bags and paper towels would be nice. No place is perfect. HaHa Was clean and ready for our stay. I liked that 2 additional propane tanks had been provided. The place could use some new dinning room chairs, along with some other minor upkeep maintenance. One of those would be hammering down the deck nails. This would not take very long, providing a safer place for bare feet. The pluses far out weigh the few minor negatives I have mentioned and again will be back again. I was visiting family in Charlotte, who stay with me and plan on beating me back. Unfortunately they had to do some work while up there. They found the WiFi as billed and more than enough to enjoy work with a Million Dollar View!

Plenty to do nearby but no need to leave this deck!

The home was clean, had a gorgeous view and was so convenient to Banner Elk and the top of Beech Mountain. We visited many sites but I could have stayed on the deck all day long.

Great little getaway

Had a wedding at the overlook barn. This place was right down the road. Perfect location of a quick weekend trip. Few little minor things on our trip but that’s typical. Customer service was great as well. Would totally recommend this place.

The sweetest time

We so thoroughly enjoyed our time up on Beech Mountain in this beautiful cabin. The views are unparalleled and the access to the property is very easy. Such a short distance to the village of Banner Elk on one direction and a great fun ski area on Beech Mountain in the other direction. Quick access to the Emerald Trails was also a huge plus!

Amazing View

This home was lovely. One of my favorite things was driving right up to the front, no steps to navigate while taking everything inside. The home is beautiful and comfortable and the view from the deck is gorgeous; we even had a rainbow over the mountains during our stay. We saw deer every day in the neighborhood. Loved shopping at Fred's Mercantile and there are several good restaurants nearby. Our stay was wonderful and I highly recommend this home.

Lovely view

We only stayed for the weekend for a baseball tournament. Really didn't get to enjoy the home, but it was nice. Great view, beautiful area. Had a few annoyances with the home which is why I only rated it 4 stars. Things that should have been noticed by people cleaning and fixed before anyone else uses the property.

Excellent Location and Amazing Views

The cabin was very nice and had everything necessary for a week long stay. The amenities were great and the location to Beech Mt Ski Resort was very close, Sugar Mt Ski Resort was a short drive also. The minor issues with lighting were quickly resolved. The only complaint I have is the bar stools are quite short, the dining room table chairs need to have the legs tightened and there is only 1 television and it’s quite dated.

Lovely Retreat

We really enjoyed Mountain Perch. The view is fantastic with Grandfather Mountain almost in the center of 180 degree mountain expanse. The home itself is well maintained & comfortable. We would have liked to have had a cheat sheet on how the inside gas fireplace worked. On our second day we found an owner’s manual for the fireplace. We may be the only people in the US without cable TV so it took us a while to figure that out also. Vacasa staff were quick to help us enter the house via key access when the code & recoding the lock failed. They also came promptly with propane gas for the fire pit table & grill.

Beautiful home with view

We loved the access to the main level from parking area requiring no steps to navigate. The furniture was very comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning. The keypad did not work and we had to get assistance to access the lock box once we arrived. Only 2 TV's were available in the entire home. We were unable to get any volume from the main TV and for avid sports and news watchers this was very inconvenient. After trouble shooting we realized it was the cable box on the main flo. With a simple swap we were able to adjust, however this was 24 hrs into our stay. The TV's are of good quality but not updated. The second night of our stay, a storm came and the roof had a significant leak that required us to place trash cans underneath to catch the water and clean up what was pooled onto the floor. It is evident that this was not the first leak as the hardwood boards are beginning to cup at this area. The management entity responded quickly to our request for propane and lighter to utilize the fire pit and assist with keypad entry. With that being said, continuing to offer this property at a standard rate without providing information of possible leak in event of rainstorm is not exactly a truthful representation of the property. A few updates with TV's and fixing the leak would make this the absolute perfect place to create wonderful memories. Unfortunately for us, we spent more time trying to get odds and ends fixed rather than relaxing when at the home.
