This spacious, ski chalet-inspired home is just minutes from Beech Mountain Resort, the trails of Emerald Outback, local wineries and breweries, and downtown Banner Elk. Welcome to the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains!

Inside, you'll find a soaring, vaulted ceiling and open living spaces illuminated by large windows that provide abundant natural light. Prepare everyone's favorite recipes in the well-equipped kitchen, and then gather together at the nearby table for six. After dinner, get a fire going in the fireplace and settle into the great room for movie night on the smart TV, or head up to the loft to play foosball.

Outdoors, the generous, furnished deck offers a gas grill and a table and chairs for alfresco dining, while down in the yard, you'll find a firepit for roasting s'mores and telling stories at the end of each day.

Great potential

The place was cute and quaint but there were a good amount of issues that stood out to us. Property did not seem cleaned when we arrived—toilets, bathtub, and floors were still dirty. Dishes and silverware had dried food. Was also surprised that the driveway, stairs and walkway were not shoveled upon arrival when over a foot of snow had accumulated. The rental did not have a shovel and it took over a day to get the snow cleared away.
