We are ideally located 15 minutes from Beech and Sugar Mountains. Banner Elk is home to local festivals, amazing restaurants, parks, alpine coaster, local breweries & Lees McRae College. Within a short drive access the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mtn and Blowing Rock. End the day with the sunset from the deck or cozied up to the gas fireplace. We have recently added a new hot tub located under the stars on our property. It is the perfect location to end the day after a long hike or day on the slopes. Because of this addition, we have added security cameras at the front and back entrance to the house. The hot tub can be viewed by the camera. This is for security only. It is activated by motion and will be monitored when we have unexpected motion. We expect motion during a rental and we will respect your privacy at all times. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Theme park nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Security system - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37120000/37118800/37118778/3eb0f241.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEARADISE 3 - Five Min Walk To Downtown Banner Elk Banner Elk - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 69 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=37118778&PinnedHotelID=37118778&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Signature Cabin](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91070000/91067300/91067257/758ed650.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heritage Hill Cabins Banner Elk - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 37 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=91067257&PinnedHotelID=91067257&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/87000000/86080000/86076300/86076299/5cac3664.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elegant Mountain Townhome in Banner Elk Downtown - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 45 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=86076299&PinnedHotelID=86076299&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70060000/70059800/70059752/91c86158.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A-Frame of Mind!
