Spacious house and property; perfect for our family of 10 (ages 11 to 84) plus two small dogs. Well appointed with amenities and household items. Kitchen was huge and well stocked with dinnerware and pots and pans. The outside deck was our favorite gathering spot; perfect for watching the hummingbirds frequenting the feeder.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay!! The house was fabulous and met all of our needs for our stay. We had 15 guests and had plenty of room for everyone! And the location is great. Will definitely rent again when we’re in the area! The kids loved the treehouse and playing by the creek!

Amazing Property

We came for my fiancé’s birthday with several couples and their teenage kids. It was so comfortable and the property had a cool hiking trail, disc golf, and easy access to Elk and the ski resorts. We loved the hot tub and would come back in the warm whether to enjoy the outdoor areas even more.

Huge home near Banner Elk

Off the beaten path (which we like) between Boone and Banner Elk. We had 12 folks and several dogs - plenty of room with the 7 bedrooms and most don’t even share a bathroom. Kitchen is well equipped. The house is on over 70 acres with (strenuous) trails to explore. Thanks for having us!

Wonderful vacation home!

Wow! Matney Ridge is an uniquely and beautifully constructed home on a gorgeous, secluded piece of property. It is very well appointed with comfortable and inviting furnishings and the kitchen is very well supplied with ample silverware, plates, and cooking supplies for a large crowd (the multiple large skillets were greatly appreciated!). We enjoyed the very large deck with lots of seating, pool table, hot tub, and exploring the grounds. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and our kids have already asked if we’re going back next year!

Amazing winter mountain get away !

We stayed at the property in Jan 2022 after a large snowfall - property was well maintained and driveway was cleared For easy access with a 4x4 - snow covered driveway NOT good for 2 wheel Drive - house had plenty ty of room for 5 teenage children and 2 adult families - kitchen was fabulous and very well stocked with everything you need to cook - Hot tub area was one of the best I have ever seen - our teenage kids loved exploring the property and the second set of adults enjoyed the seperate guest quarters over the garage - beds were extremely comfortable - we hope to have a chance to come back for another weekend getaway in the fall !

Amazing Property

This was our third winter trip to Banner Elk. This secluded property was amazing. It has amazing views, a fantastic layout for multiple families, hiking, rope swings next to a creek, not to mention a completely stocked kitchen! Everything you could need for a fantastic get away from it all. I hope to be able to return to this beautiful property in the near future. Our children range from 1 to 8 and they all cried when we had to leave. You can explore the grounds for hours. Again, I cannot say enough great things about this property. Thank you for sharing it.

Matney Ridge Estates is always a fan favorite

We LOVE this property. This trip was our third week stay at MRE. We vacation in different parts of the country with our family and this select group of friends. We choose gIt’s a serious favorite for us in Western NC. The gorgeous land, its amenities and the joy it brings our group is a 10/10. It’s a spectacular slice of heaven and we remain We LOVE this property. It’s a serious favorite for us in Western NC. Very grateful the owners share it with the worthy. In LOVE with the Restoration Hardware leather furniture- insanely comfy. The home itself was unfortunately much dirtier this year than in years past. This is our third trip to this specific property. Multiple bathroom rugs that were never washed, hundreds of long dark hairs on bathroom floors, stained bedding, old, worn pillows, dirty socks (that weren’t ours) found in the bunk room bedding. Stains and coffee grounds in the coffee cups, old food left on utensils, lots of crumbs in utensil/serving piece drawers, greasy cookie sheets

Even better in person

My goal is to adequately express how amazing this property is. My family (my parents plus 3 sisters with our families) stayed for our annual vacation. Kids range from 2-15 and all loved it. There was plenty of space at the house and property to feel like we all had our own space. We’ve rented houses for 15+ years and all agreed this was our favorite. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was immaculate and fancy yet comfortable. We could tell the owners care well for the property and take pride in their home. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The furniture was quality and not typical rental junk. The kitchen had everything we needed. The management company was available and helpful. They welcomed us when we arrived to show us around the house. And the acreage. Wow. It was my little slice of heaven. The sunrise view off the back porch was worth waking up for. The whole property was beautiful and worth exploring. For any of you instacart users, I had Publix delivered shortly after we arrived which was awesome. Location was great too

Cabin retreat

Wow, such a beautiful cabin! All the activities are built in the beautiful property- fishing, hiking, sight seeing, etc. The cabin was very clean and up to date. The property manager reached out to us daily to check in on our stay. We really could not have asked for a better experience!

A beautiful oasis

This property has so many amenities and places to roam and explore, you'll never have to leave for an adventure. We took full advantage of the trails, tree house, and brand new deck, which allowed us to feel like we really escaped reality. We did have an appliance issue, but the mgmt company was quick to communicate and worked to rectify the situation.
