We had a wonderful stay at this Banner Elk condo! The condo was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved the beautiful views, the selection of board games for family time, and the community pool.

The views were amazing. The accommodations were spotless and included everything needed. The location was perfect for the activities we had planned - Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain, Banner Elk. Enjoyed the local shops and restaurants. Went in September and the weather was still warm. Would love to come back at a colder time of year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful home during our daughters' graduation from App State. The view is stunning. The home is spacious and worked perfectly for what we needed. The community amenities are wonderful - I wish we had more time to really enjoy all the amenities. The rhododendrons were blooming beautifully! We will be back!

I appreciated the host’s communication, always available for any questions. The condo was super clean, comfortable, quiet, and equipped. Since I was traveling alone, I appreciated that the condo was in a gated community and was close to so many places to see and visit. The view is wonderful!

Beautiful views and functional two bedrooms plus loft. Kitchen was adequate but could use a few more bath towels. Also, a few luggage racks and a hook on the back of bath door would be helpful. A bath safety handle bar would help since both baths have tubs and have big step in (especially for those of us close to 70). Overall, great updated unit with awesome views! Around 9:00 pm the fireflies come out during the summer and are so beautiful.

Wonderful fall weekend

Our stay at the condo was relaxing, comfortable and not long enough! My family enjoyed the deck and views of the fall mountains. The condo was accommodating to all our needs and we look forward to staying here again in the future.

Relaxing Retreat

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely unit! The view is incredible, the location just right and it is spotlessly clean. Jerome, the host, responded right away and followed through when I contacted him. As someone who also owns a vacation rental, I have high expectations when I travel, and they were exceeded at Retreat on the Ridge - we look forward to returning!

Mountain Getaway

I would give this overall 5 star, but the property had not been cleaned when we arrived. Communication with the owner resolved the matter within an hour. Property itself is wonderful. Fantastic Mountain View’s. Well appointed and comfortable. Great location with many attractions, restaurants, and activities nearby.

We enjoyed our stay and hope to return again next year! The unit is well stocked and the location is great - close to Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing Rock. The views are incredible, be sure to catch the sunrises. Enjoyed the pool in the afternoon after exploring. Highly recommend visiting Grandfathers Mountain. Communication was great, very quick to reply during the booking process and during our stay. Easy checkin. Great neighborhood.
