About this property

Banner Elk Views | Beech & Sugar Mtn | Game Loft

Wake up to long-range Blue Ridge mountain views from your private back deck, coffee in hand, before heading down to the game loft for a round of shuffleboard, poker, or Golden Tee.
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo in the Vistas at Banner Elk sleeps 6 comfortably and puts you minutes from the best of the High Country — ski Beech or Sugar Mountain, visit Lees-McRae, or cheer on the Mountaineers at an App State game, or spend the day exploring downtown Banner Elk`s shops, breweries, and restaurants.

The Views
The star of the show. Wide, unobstructed Blue Ridge mountain views from the back deck — perfect for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or just watching the fog roll through the valleys. Guests consistently tell us the view alone is worth the trip.

The Game Loft
A true adult playground upstairs: shuffleboard table, poker table (perfect for guys` trips or family game night), and a Golden Tee arcade cabinet. This isn`t a couple of dusty board games in a closet — it`s a real entertainment space designed to keep the group together after a day on the mountain.

Bedrooms & Sleeping (sleeps 6)

Bedroom 1: Queen
Bedroom 2: Queen
Bedroom 3: Queen

We also have an air mattress available as well

The Kitchen & Living Area
Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook in — coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and utensils. Open living area with smart TV, comfortable seating for the whole group, and easy flow out to the deck.

Outdoor Space
Private back deck with mountain views, ideal for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or just soaking in the mountain air.

The Vistas at Banner Elk is one of the last remaining short-term rental communities in Banner Elk, giving you a rare foothold in one of the most sought-after mountain destinations in the Southeast.

Drive times from the condo:

Downtown Banner Elk (shops, restaurants, breweries) — 5 min
Sugar Mountain Ski Resort — 10 min
Beech Mountain Ski Resort — 15 min
Lees-McRae College — 5 min
Appalachian State University / Boone — 20 min
Grandfather Mountain — 20 min
Blowing Rock — 30 min
Linville Falls — 25 min

Whether you`re here for ski season, App State football, a wedding at one of the mountain venues, fall leaf-peeping, or just a getaway from the heat — you`re in the middle of everything.

You`ll have the entire condo to yourselves, including the game loft, private back deck, and full kitchen. The Vistas is a quiet, well-kept complex — a peaceful home base after a day of adventure.

Self check-in with a smart lock keypad code, sent to you the morning of your stay. Arrive on your own schedule between 4–9 PM.

I run a boutique management company and keep things personal — I`ll send a welcome message with everything you need before arrival, check in shortly after you`re settled, and stay out of your way otherwise. I`m always a quick message away through the Airbnb app for anything you need — restaurant recommendations, mountain tips, or the occasional hiccup. Response time is typically under an hour.

There are outdoor security cameras located in the front and back of the property.

***This is a very quiet complex with almost all long term guests and were one of the last in The Vistas so our policies regarding parties, events and issues with noise levels will be strictly enforced***

Fantastic Property

Absolutely great place to stay while in Banner Elk. We’ve be coming to the area for 3 years to visit our son multiple times (5-6 a year) and this is the first time we have booked a property we had previously rented. Communication is good and clear; property has everything you could possibly need, and the view from the balcony is spectacular. We will be staying here again.

Perfect place for a ski vacation

This condo was the perfect place for a long weekend ski trip with the family! It was easy to get to even in the snow since the road up to it was plowed and the condo was on and end so there was a nice yard area to play in the snow. The location was perfect, a 5 min drive to banner elk and only 15 min from beech mountain skiing. The place was very clean, the decor made it feel like a cozy cabin. It was also stocked with everything we needed. The view of the mountains was gorgeous and the second floor loft game room was a fun and unique feature. It had an arcade golf game, a casino table, and table shuffleboard. I now have great memories thanks to this place and would gladly stay here again.
