Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cabin. The kitchen was stocked with essential cookware, plates, glasses and silverware. Everyone had plenty of room move about. The pool table was a big hit but we also enjoyed the puzzles and board games. The video games did not work, so don’t plan on taking advantage of that. Do be aware that the walls are thin so you can hear what’s going on in another room.

Relaxing weekend getaway

The house and property were beautiful with plenty of space for our entire family to get together and celebrate two milestone birthdays. We would have been happy just hanging out on the deck soaking in the amazing mountain views but there was also plenty to do nearby. The owners were very helpful in providing information about the area, and very responsive when we needed something during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable house in beautiful location

Our group of 10 returned for a second visit here. We very much enjoyed our stay. The view from the living room and deck is extraordinary. We were able to cook and eat together comfortably. The host was very responsive when we had a problem with one of the alarms.

Home away from Home

Beautiful home on mountain top with A+ accommodations and even a Christmas tree. We even canceled dinner reservations one night because we preferred to just stay and cook in. Close to ski and tubing. Saw a lot of deer.

Nice house for family outing

Our entire family including 5 grandchildren enjoyed a long weekend at this lovely home. Bedrooms and baths were just what we needed. It could have been cleaner but nothing that would keep me from staying there again. My only complaint is the seating for dining for 13 people was difficult. The view is unbeatable and the wood was well stocked so we could enjoy the fireplace on an extremely cold weekend. Hosts were very easy to communicate with.

family ski trip

I love this location, views in all directions. It really fits our large family. Space for family games the kitchen is well-stocked with all you need to cook family breakfasts and dinners. The only drawback is they need to add family dinner table. There is ample outdoor areas for everyone to sled, build snowmen have hotdogs and smores on the open pit fire. This makes our 3rd year and will be returning.

Spacious, well-appointed home with beautiful views!

My family had a wonderful stay at the Banner Elk Mountain Retreat! The rooms were spacious and spread out, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were plenty of games and of course the pool table and loft hide out for the kids. We were blessed with a significant snow fall that kept us from leaving the property one day, but it was worth it for the family time and unexpected fun in the snow. If you are visiting during the winter time, you 100% need a 4 wheel drive. The trip up and down the mountain was a bit treacherous after the snowfall. There is a bit of a drive to the most popular places to ski and tube, but we knew that going in and it didn't bother us. My only reason for not given 5 stars is that the kitchen and family room really need a deep clean. This is not unexpected for mountain homes with cleaning crews that are focused on surface level cleaning, and to be fair, I've only once experienced a mountain home that didn't need this. It wasn't enough to upset our visit, but it's something I would request before staying again. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and a views were incredible! For that alone, I would stay again.
