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.
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.

We are repeat renters at this condo. This is one of best rental units in Banner Elk. The unit is well maintained and well equipped . The host is very professional and has applied her personal touch to make this a special place to stay. About 5 minutes from center of town with shopping and dinning.
Condo was as advertised - luxury - great furnishings, amenities, lots of extra details - truly the only thing we needed to bring was clothes, food, and personal items - host was great in communication and housekeeper even checked on us to see if we needed anything
The condo was awesome, such a beautiful view and ease of access two ski resorts. Judy made it easy to travel and responded to any questions quickly. We had a great time with our son and his friends. Don’t forget to check out the mountain coaster!
We had a wonderful ski weekend. This is a beautiful 3 bedroom condo that is in a great location near Banner Elk, Sugar Mtn, and Beech Mtn. Judy was responsive and check in/out was easy. I would definitely stay here again!
Great location between Beech Mountain, Banner Elk and Sugar Mountain
Stayed here for Christmas and loved the condo! Great view! Very comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, well-stocked kitchen.Host was kind to keep us updated regarding issues caused by the September flood, even calling day of arrival to be sure we wouldn't miss the correct road, that was temporarily fixed after being washed out.Would definitely stay again!
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 getaway for our family of four plus my parents who met us from Charlotte! The two king beds were what sold us at first! The beds were so comfy and the condo had everything we needed plus more. Perfect location to ski at Sugar and Beech. Would highly recommend and would book again!
Loved this condo... Spent a week over New Years.
Family of 5 had plenty of room. Furniture comfortable, game room was entertaining and kitchen well stocked.
Beautiful view! Would definitely stay again.
The property was as advertised. Beautiful condo with a great view of the mountains and you can see the slopes of Sugar Mountain at night. Short drive up the mountain to Beech Mountain and short drive to the town of Banner Elk. Perfect location to take advantage of the ski resorts and towns. I would highly recommend this property.
We had a fabulous stay. This condo is beautiful and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is plenty of space and the views from the balcony were amazing. The checkout responsibilities were very reasonable. We will definitely try to stay here again.
This property was perfect for our family for the New Year. It’s a beautiful place with gorgeous furniture and a spectacular view of the mountains . We enjoyed watching fireworks on New Year’s Eve and seeing the snow falling. Super close to all shops and restaurants in Banner elk. It’s also just a short drive to Sugar and Beech mountain. The rooms were clean and very homey feel.the host was very responsive .
This condo felt like home for us. It had everything we needed and then some. The furnishings were amd decor were well thought out and first class quality. The owners were extremely nice and communicated with us before and throughout our stay. We will definitely be going back.
Beautiful condo.... plenty of room.. (3 adults, 3 teens) Spectacular views of Grandfather mountain and Sugar mountain from spacious back deck. 5 ⭐️'s!!
Everything was perfect!
Two recommendations- supply coffee filters
And explain that trash deposit requires to drive up to 2nd level to deposit trash and door is heavy lifting to open .
Finally tv remote does not work well on
Main level- may need batteries

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.
Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022
