The property has incredibly central and we were able to walk to restaurants, coffee, ice cream and the large open field in town. Everything was very clean and great communication from the property managers. We had a great stay and would come again!

This house was exactly as described. We visited for parents weekend at Lee's McRae and it was wonderful to have all my family under one roof again! Property was well kept and met all of our needs.

Will forever stay here when traveling to Banner Elk.
This was our second time staying at this property and it doesn't disappoint! My only suggestion to the property management company/owner is to update the Owner suite shower head but other than that everything is fantastic and would 100% stay again if i have the chance.

The house was perfect. The location was amazing, it had all the amenities we needed. We loved our stay at the house. The only problems we had were communicating with Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals. We had questions about the advertised street parking but no one was able to answer our questions.They never returned my messages or call. We requested a late checkout and was told 1pm but someone came by the house at 10am since Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals told them check out is at 10am. Because communication was with a company and not a singular person it was difficult to get answers to our questions, the communication with guest could be improved.

First class accommodations!
I have nothing but positive things to say about our trip and the accommodations. The townhouse has a really great high-end feel with large bedrooms, great living space, and nice amenities. You also can’t beat the location, we walked to all the restaurants and shops in town. I would highly recommend!
Fantastic for my family of 4 (2 kids ages 7 and 10) and our dog. The only negatives are the street noise heard from master suite (just bring ear plugs). They have a fan in each room for white noise also. We had such a good time and were very comfortable in this home. I would definitelystay here again.

Very nice home with all basic needs covered! It was in a perfect location for access to downtown. The hot tub was great. Perhaps some instructions for removing the very heavy cover would be helpful. The home was clean and the extra touches of toiletries and expertly folded towels were nice. We didn't use the fireplaces but they looked nice. I would recommend this home.

Nice stay!
Overall this is a very nice unit. Great location to all the restaurants in Banner Elk. The beds were comfortable with good linens. Unfortunately we could not use the hot tub. The water was very murky and had debris in it. The showers really need to be recaulked and new shower curtains put in. The kitchen was very well stocked.

From the owner:"Thank you for the feedback. We have ordered a new hot tub that will be delivered in a few weeks. Also we just recaulked the tubs and replaced shower curtains this week. It was a pleasure host you."
Our son attends Lees-McRae; this is THE BEST PLACE to stay! It's walking distance to downtown - shopping, pubs, restaurants - and campus. Well-appointed. Open space great for gathering. Well-managed. We lost power while there, and our contact was easy to reach and kept us informed until it was restored (very short outage due to wind.) STAY HERE! It's great!

From the owner: "Thanks for staying! Sorry about that brief power outage!"
Perfect location between Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain for a ski trip. Super walkable to everything in Banner Elk. Property was one of cleanest I’ve visited, and beds were super warm and comfortable. Even enjoyed the clean, warm hot tub. And, no long list of chores at checkout. Just take out the trash and turn on the dishwasher. Great property. Just be aware there is noise given the location is right in downtown banner elk.

I was super impressed with this property. Very well kept, clean close to the ski slopes. Truly wonderful and will stay here again. Only complaint would be the parking. The driveway only accommodates 1 car and the garage door was broken. The property manager was super helpful in finding an alternate parking space so no big deal but would love to come again and use the garage next time as well.
Great location, walking distance to Banner Elk restaurants and entertainment. Noise from downtown area is not excessive, unit is directly across from fire station but only heard horns and sirens a couple times in 5 days. Unit was clean, well appointed and met all of our needs, we were able to cook dinner each night.
Bedrooms are large and beds are comfortable. Master shower does require a bit of trial and error to get all shower heads working.
Check-in and check-out were a breeze.

Great place to stay.
Good location right between both Sugar Mountain and Beach Mountain, 30 minutes to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain and Tennessee.
Place was clean and well stocked with the amenities you'd need for your stay. Towels, toiletries, kitchen appliances and utensils with extras. A few things need some attention as do all places this is a home so I believe its to be expected.
Overall we would stay again and recommend to others we had everything we needed and had a great time.
Thank you to the homeowners for allowing us to share their place.
