About this property

Boone/Banner Elk 3 Bedroom Pet Friendly Mountain Home

Please note VRBO.COM/507746 (basement apartment) is rented under the home. We allow pets but prefer well behaved as there is adjacent rental. We are very friendly and as you can see from our reviews we want your stay to be great. We also rent out VRBO.COM/696781.

When you come to the Mountains of North Carolina you should expect a memory of a lifetime. Your accommodations should be nothing less. This 3 bedroom mountain retreat will enhance your stay.

The location is in the heart of the High Country and is within 8 miles of every town Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Linville, Seven Devils and Valle Crucis. We are thirty seconds from Highway 105 Downtown Foscoe. You will find that this location is very pleasing for all walks of life golfers, skiers, sightseers, hikers, fishers, etc. The home is accessible too, only half a mile off of Highway 105. The road is paved up until the driveway, and the driveway is relatively flat for access in the winter by most vehicles.

We call this home Herb's House, named after a family member. It is completely renovated with new floors, kitchen with fine cabinetry and granite. Both full bathrooms have new showers and sinks, nice tiles and fresh linens.

Take pleasure in walking through the sliding glass doors to the outside deck to observe nature and the profile of the Grandfather Mountain (visible in the winter on the property). You will notice High Country craftsmanship when you see the river rock around our electric fire place. We promise our home is your home. We have TV’s in each bedroom and living room. The dining room will seat 6 and the living room will seat 8. The house has a washer machine and dryer to use at your convenience.

Herb's House would not be complete without a couple of amenities available for your use. There is a located under our personal gazebo, just a short walk up the stone steps connecting the property (pictured). Feel free to use the fire pit to the left of the home to roast hot dogs and marshmallows or the gas and charcoal grill.
Above all we promise a very clean, quiet atmosphere for a restful getaway.

Great location. Close to everything. Plenty of space. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again.Only issues were the listing did not disclose that the downstairs is also a rental. The beds, while comfortable were unbelievably loud.

A delightful cabin

My two friends and I totally enjoyed out stay. The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed. The location is a gem. We easily visited Boone, Blowing Rock and Grandfather’s Mountain. We spent one afternoon at the Grandfather Mountain Winery sipping wine and listening to wonderful live music. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful location! It was perfect for our elderly lab! He loved the upper driveway area and its relatively flat. The house has character and we absolutely loved it other than the oven wouldn't work properly and we love to cook. One of the bed frames broke after i sat down on it normally and i only weigh 195 lbs. Im sure these small issues will be resolved and we will definitely rent it again.

Perfect solo hiking weekend getaway

This was the perfect place for me to get away from the busyness of life for a little relaxation, hiking, and focused time to start a new business. While the place has 3 bedrooms and could comfortably accommodate more people, i did not feel overwhelmed by myself either. It was super quiet, peaceful, clean, and provided all of the accommodations I needed, while being reasonably close to restaurants and shops in Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk. Many of the hiking trails along that area of the BRP were less than 30 minutes drive. The only less minor inconveniences i noticed were a few lights in the kitchen and bathroom were not working, and the place has a musty smell as it walk in. But I otherwise really enjoyed myself, and look forward to coming back again!

Musty odor.

Everything would have been fine but the house had a water leak and a musty odor. Tried scented candles but it was just a scented musty odor. On the second day the odor and leak were worse and not bearable so we had to check out early. Owner did not offer a partial refund. Owner was friendly and easy to contact. Exterior of house siding and roof was in poor condition. Interior had been remodeled and was in good overall condition.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
The week around this stay had unusually heavy rain for the mountains in the winter. We advised there had been a small water leak from a vent pipe on the roof prior to check-in but this was fixed day of check in. We also had a licensed contractor inspect and found no issues. We appreciate the feedback on the siding, this is a family property for which we work to improve over time. Although only cosmetic, we hope to fix this in the near future.

Home away from home

Everything about this place is perfect and as listed. We normally stay in the basement apartment as there’s only 2 of us but it was booked. Even though we didn’t need a place this big, we booked it anyway because we knew the location is great, place would be clean and the people are super nice. Can’t wait to come again soon

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

Hello, Thank you for visiting this wonderful mountain retreat. We have owned the Club Shop Peanuts & Golf Store, LLC. in downtown Foscoe since 1983. We sell ladies sportswear and golf equipment. We are best known as the Peanut Shop because we sell home cooked peanuts from my home town Franlin, Va. in Southampton County. We are very Blessed to live and work only 30 seconds from our houses VRBO #696781, #507746, & VRBO #279527. My wife Suzanne is a native of this neighborhood. Everday we are again blessed to view the profile of Grandfather Mountain. We would like to share this property with you to enhance a getaway you will never forget. Thank you again, - Wesley & Suzanne Crum

Why they chose this property

This home is acessible 30 seconds from Hwy 105 downtown (Foscoe) between Boone & Banner Elk NC. This rental is facing South towards The Profile Of The Grandfather Mountain. Golfers & skiers find this location within 8 miles of every town Boone, Banner Elk, 7 Devils, Linville, Valle Crucis and Blowing Rock

What makes this property unique

While you are staying on this private land in a sleepy neighborhood just a great place to look at the profile of Grandfather Mountain. Enjoy the beauty of the mountains. Maybe take a walk in the woods where nature hasn't been touched. Maybe take a walk to downtown Foscoe 5 min. away to enjoy shopping or get a bite to eat. Maybe just do nothing and smell the crisp fresh air.
