We loved our stay at this cozy mountain home! The location was perfect—peaceful and scenic, with easy access to everything we wanted to do. The house itself had such an interesting layout, full of charm and character. Our kids had a blast exploring all the nooks and crannies, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable after long days of adventure. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, especially in the cool mountain evenings. The owner was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to return an iPad we accidentally left behind. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Unique, secluded, cozy mountain cabin that is still close to town. We loved the night sky views and had fun with the many porches and places to hang out or play.

The property was great! It had plenty of room with comfy beds. My son loved the game room. We enjoyed multiple nights in the hot tub and sauna. The steps kept us in shape while we were vacationing. The doggies even enjoyed the views. The property manager kept in touch several times throughout the stay. Can’t wait to visit again.

Mountain getaway

What an absolutely charming home!!! With the additional hot tub and separate sauna, it feels like you're at the spa. We needed to getaway to decompress and boy, did we! The mountain views were spectacular. Owner was very communicative, and check in/out super easy! Property is private, yet only only 3 miles into downtown Banner Elk. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful July 4th weekend!

My husband & I along with my sister and BIL stayed for a long July 4th weekend and had a great time! The house was as presented online, and the view was awesome. We were up high enough to enjoy 76 degree weather which was a welcome change from upper 90 degree weather in SC! Ann was quick to respond to questions, and the check in/out process couldn’t have been easier. All in all a fun weekend!

Wish we stayed longer

Really eclectic and relaxing chalet, 2 nights felt too short to really take advantage of all the amenities, both on the property and in the surrounding areas. Everything was top notch with the accommodations, just a beautiful place. I hope to return and experience some more zen.

Cool, quirky, relaxing place!

Enjoyed our stay here with my partner, his parents and two babes under 2. My toddler loved exploring all the porches, the hot tub was perfect, as were the views! Ann's communication was top notch - and we appreciated her recommendations. Love the creature comforts of this stocked house - we forgot our shampoo and were glad there was some in the shower! We were curious to know about the history of the house, you can tell it's been updated/added onto several times - hence quirky in the title. Overall, a great stay, and we would come again!

About the host

Hosted by Ann Simons

Host profile image
We are drawn to the beauty and coolness of this part of Western North Carolina. We finally realized a life long dream and purchased this home to spend time in the area and to share it with you ! Come on up and enjoy all this home and this area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This is a private setting with plenty of areas to congregate with family and friends, or just spend a romantic time together enjoying the quiet and the views from the deck or in the hot tub at sunset.
The area has so much to offer! With restaurants, wineries and breweries, waterfalls and hiking trails, antique shopping, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, fishing, art galleries, snow skiing and winter activities, local crafts and festivals within minutes.

Grandfather Mountain with its swinging bridge and breathtaking views are a must see.

Linville Falls are the most gorgeous falls in the South.

Take a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of the most scenic drives in America and let the mountains take your cares away.

We are located between Beech and Sugar Mountain Ski resorts with activities for kids and adults alike.

Wildcat Lake is within 5 minutes for swimming and a fishing pier, reel in that trout for dinner!

Banner Elk itself is a charming town with great food and a small town atmosphere.

Boone and Blowing Rock are close by for excellent dining and shopping experiences.

See Ashe County Cheese being made in nearby West Jefferson.

You will find farm to table restaurants, local crafts and produce.

Visit orchards, alpaca farms and choose and cut your own Christmas tree!

There are gem mines in the area and Tweetsie Railroad is a popular family attraction.

The list goes on! I can provide you with all the information you need for your tastes for the most satisfying vacation experience.

Relax, Refresh, Rejuvenate and Enjoy!!
