We had a wonderful stay at this cabin and would recommend it to any family. The place looked exactly like the photos, and the views were even more stunning in person. Our kids had a blast, the beds were genuinely comfortable, and our dog made great use of the spacious backyard. Banner Elk also had some great local eats. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our stay.
