About this property

Banner Elk | Family Ridge Stay | Pool + Lake | 2BR Villa

  • Surrounded by the rugged beauty of North Carolina's High Country, Blue Ridge Village offers a mountain escape where scenic landscapes, fresh mountain air, and outdoor adventure set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Located in Banner Elk, the resort places guests in a peaceful Blue Ridge Mountain setting while keeping the area's seasonal attractions within reach.

    Mornings can begin slowly with the surrounding mountain scenery before heading out to explore the High Country.

Simple

We stayed here to enjoy a small mountain getaway. Sugar mountain is around the corner, the BG resorts has a clubhouse area where they do activities for the guest. And there is a small pond you can walk around. Also they groomed the roads in the winter. So never worried about driving around. We will be back!

Enjoyable visit

We really enjoyed the property, it’s location, and proximity to Sugar Mountain and Banner Elk. The check-in process was smooth, although not touch-free, but there was knowledgeable staff available for our late (9ish) check-in. The room was clean with plenty of towels and kitchen utensils for our small family. The roads got a little icy the morning we were leaving but seemed well taken of (clear) the rest of the weekend.

Great location in Banner Elk

This is a great location in central Banner Elk and Sugar Mountain if you don't want to drive way up a steep mountain road. We loved it, being from Fla we didn't have 4x4 for the snow and this location was great! The staff is wonderful! We enjoyed the fire pit(s) nightly. Lots of amenities for families. Basic utensils/plates/cups. No spices, sprays. Older but very clean and great set up for 2 adults and 3 teens. Perfect family vacation in a winter wonderland!!

convenient location

The convenience to Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, Linville falls and Boone is fantastic. The property was well maintained, with the exception of the outdoor grills. Plenty for young and old to do. Interior was a bit dated but clean. They responded to all our concerns promptly. No pool, and they said some villas did not have internet. Luckily our unit did but bless the souls with teens that dont have internet. Connections in that area are spotty at best.

Great condo but.. NO POOL!

Came to the area for a Thanksgiving getaway with just our immediate family. Condo was exactly like pictured, loved the fireplace and open living room. We just had 2adults and 2 kids but see how larger groups would fit fine. Kitchen was nice, quality cookware and dinnerware but more place settings would be helpful. Stove, oven, microwave, fridge etc were all great (and washer&dryer too!). Sheets and towels were nice as well but king mattress did not work well for us. As far as community amenities, my kids enjoyed the puttputt, tennis, corn hole and walking by the lake. HUGE disclaimer.. there is NO pool!!! While we enjoyed our stay, the pool and hot tub were non negotiable on my want list and we would not have booked knowing this is PERMANENTLY closed!! I didn't receive anything more then it's out if their control when I contacted the company back thru vbro.. I only booked my stay 6 weeks prior, so I'm sure it was closed when I booked it.

We loved it here! I was so cozy and great space for our family. The only thing we were real bummed about was the pool being permanently closed on this property due to structure. It should probably be taken off of the pictures and amenities. The pool was one of the reasons we booked. Otherwise is was a great stay!

The property company called me day before I was due to check in and told me they were cancelling my reservation. The reason being that they could not contact the owner. When I asked if they had vetted the owner of the unit I was supposed to get, it went unanswered. Additionally, they were unwilling to help book a new reservation on site as they were full (somewhat believable) but also were unwilling to help find a new reservation anywhere close and left me with less than 24 hours to find a reservation so I could attend a family event.
