Perched at 4000 ft with views of Grandfather Mountain, the two-story covered deck is where you will fall in love with the area. Family-friendly with enough space to sleep 10! Make memories with friends and family that last forever! Located 15 minutes from Banner Elk Center! The Space As you approach the nest, the two-story deck takes your breath away standing above the tree line. The driveway holds plenty of space for your vehicles with ease, leaving just 3 steps to the front door. The entryway opens to a well-appointed living room, complete with a queen sleeper sofa and twin love seats. A vast array of games and puzzles await those unexpected rainy days. In the kitchen, you will find all of the essentials for cooking, including an air fryer, dual-function coffee maker, pots/pans, and utensils. Seating options begin with the 4 chair breakfast bar and continue to the dining room table, totaling 10! If you would rather the crisp mountain air and views while you eat, the outdoor dining area on the upper deck is just steps away from the kitchen. Wander up the stairs to find the master bedroom, complete with a king-size bed, antique furniture, and views through wide-reaching windows. The full master bathroom offers excellent water pressure and temperature to round out your night after a long day in the mountains. (p.s. - check the trunk upstairs and have a Nerf War with the family!) Continuing to the lower level, you will find two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The sage-colored room features a queen-sized bed, well-appointed furniture, and french doors that lead to the lower deck, where you can relax in the Adirondack chairs. The final bedroom is perfect for families, with a queen-sized bed and a bunk bed with two twin beds. This bedroom also has french doors that lead directly to the lower-level deck. The second bathroom on this level continues the trend of excellent water pressure, providing a refreshing shower experience. The upper deck has two Adirondacks, a two-seater swing, and an outdoor dining area. The lower deck contains four Adirondacks and an antique bench. Round out your night on the side of the cabin making smores around the fire pit overlooking the mountain ridge!

We had a great time. We saw deers in the yard, which was a first for my granddaughters. They loved it! We had our coffee on the deck, listening to the birds and watching the deer go by. The view of the mountains was amazing. Mr. John was great, he answered all my questions right away and even granted a special request. We definitely recommend this place. You'll experience nature at its best, but remember, it's a cabin. ❤️ Oh, and bring your fans, the cabin does provide them, but we brought ours. Overall i give it a 10 ##### Helen Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Denise B. Jul 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Cabin The cabin is very nice. The one downfall is that it does not have air conditioning. Partly my fault as I didn’t catch that in the listing. It does say in the listing that there is heat. Air conditioning is not listed and I didn’t catch that when I read the listing. It was very uncomfortable the first night the second night we stayed was a little better. There were fans provided and ceiling fans as well. We of course had to open windows and they needed to be cleaned. There were dead bugs in the windows. Also the covered deck needed to be cleaned it was very dusty and had a lot of spiders and webs. The table on the deck was also in need of cleaning. The cabin itself was clean and very nice. ##### Denise B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ingrid C. Feb 23, 2025 ##### Ingrid C.
