Cozy High Country Cabin Near Banner Elk

Profile Trail Retreat

Conveniently located in the heart of the High Country, Profile Trail Retreat puts you just 10 minutes from downtown Banner Elk and Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, with easy access to some of the area's favorite mountain adventures. Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway are about 20 minutes away, while Boone and Blowing Rock are both just under 30 minutes from the home.

One of the home's best features is a hidden local connection to the mountains: a short, approximately five-minute walk from the cabin provides access to the Grandfather Mountain Profile Trail. Directions are provided at the cabin, giving guests a unique opportunity to enjoy this scenic trail without driving to the trailhead.

Inside, the main level offers a comfortable living area with a gas fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining space for gathering. Step onto the deck to enjoy the peaceful wooded setting, with outdoor seating, a gas grill, and a gas fire table for relaxing evenings.

The fun continues downstairs in the spacious game room, featuring foosball, darts, basketball games, an arcade, and more. It's an ideal space for kids and adults alike to unwind after a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring the High Country.

Sleeping accommodations span three levels. The upper level features two king bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. A queen bedroom is on the main level, and another queen bedroom is downstairs. For additional, flexible sleeping options, there is a king sleeper sofa in the upper-level king bedroom and a full-size sleeper sofa in the lower-level game room.

Additional Amenities:
- Access to Grandfather Mountain Profile Trail via a private nearby walking connection
- Smart TVs with streaming services (guests use their own accounts)
- New Hot Tub
- Allows 2 dogs with an additional fee.

Please note: Exterior Ring cameras are located at the driveway and front entrance. This home does not offer mountain views. During the winter months (October through March), we strongly recommend using a 4-wheel- or all-wheel-drive vehicle, and chains may be necessary in snowy or icy conditions.

Whether you're coming for a ski weekend, a hiking adventure, or simply a relaxing mountain getaway, Profile Trail Retreat offers a comfortable home base with an unbeatable location for exploring Banner Elk and the surrounding High Country.
