☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
This upscale retreat has 6 stunning bedrooms that offer the perfect relaxing environment after a day in the mountains.
On the first floor, you’ll find a large bedroom with a plush king-sized bed and an ensuite bathroom with a whirlpool tub. Three dressers and a walk-in closet offer plenty of space to unpack your things and feel at home. This primary suite has private access to the back deck through sliding glass doors. Gaze at the amazing views through the telescope or cozy up in bed and stay warm.
The second bedroom on the first floor features a queen-sized bed and a cozy sitting area perfect for curling up with a good book in the privacy of your room.
On the second floor, you’ll find two more bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and the second with two queen-sized beds. Finally, on the lower level, there is another queen bedroom. Here, you’ll also find a children’s bedroom that is equipped with a full bunk bed with a twin trundle for extra space.
☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆
Get ready for your day in one of the charming bathrooms. Each bathroom is stocked with hotel-quality towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in case you forget to bring your own!
The master ensuite bathroom features a walk-in shower, a spacious soaking tub, and dual vanity. There are two other full baths, both with tub/shower combos, as well as a half bath to cater to the common areas.
☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆
This charming 5,130-square-foot home has an open-concept layout, so your group can easily interact no matter where in the house they are. As you enter, you’re greeted by towering cathedral ceilings and huge picture windows with amazing views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The beautiful wood interior of the house flows through to the gourmet kitchen, which is fully equipped with high-end appliances, including a full-size fridge, oven, and microwave. You’ll find all the essential cookware, dishes, and spices you need to cook delicious meals. Start your mornings off right at the coffee bar by brewing yourself a hot cup using the Keurig machine or drip coffee maker (coffee and pods provided to get you started).
The large island provides plenty of space to chop vegetables on the granite counters while members of your group take a seat and enjoy a glass of wine while socializing. Share delicious meals around the large wooden dining table with a charming antler chandelier to illuminate the space.
The stylish lounge is flooded with natural light, courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s plenty of room for everyone to sit back and enjoy a movie on the Smart TV while the warmth from the wood-burning fireplace fills the room. The high-speed wifi is perfect for streaming all your favorite shows and movies without interruption.
Can’t agree on a movie? Head downstairs to the lower level, where you’ll find a second lounge with another flat-screen smart TV and plush sofa. This lounge connects to the game room, which features an Xbox, air hockey table, and darts, so you can enjoy some friendly competition with your group.
Keep your clothes clean with the in-suite washer and dryer located on the main floor.
☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
The wraparound deck with spectacular nature views is the perfect place to spend time with your group. In the morning, take a seat in one of the rocking chairs and enjoy a hot cup of coffee while admiring the mountains.
Use the grill to make some of your favorite dinners and enjoy them with your group around the outdoor dining table. Kids will love running around the backyard while adults gather around the fire pit and share stories in comfortable Adirondack chairs. You’ll also find hammocks and a hot tub to soothe your muscles after an active day.
This secluded cabin is ideally located in a quiet area in Banner Elk, so you can make the most out of your stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains. There is a stocked fishing pond across the street that you will have access to.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Karen
We purchased this home as a vacation home in 2018. After owning it for two years we realized that we simply weren't using it as much as we would have liked. We decided to try and use it as a short term rental and see how it did. It exceeded our expectations and it makes us so happy to be able to share this special home with so many others who appreciate it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this home as a second home to have a place in the mountains. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it!
