    Welcome to Elk Laurel!

    Elk Laurel is the first home built in a 14-acre development with beautiful long-range views. Come explore the mountains while you enjoy the luxurious comfort of this elegantly finished log cabin.

    This large family home boasts a huge wrap-around deck with a large hot tub, gas grill, and outdoor dining for 12. Enjoy the cool mountain evenings on the deck or sit on the bench surrounding the fire pit to roast marshmallows.

    There are multiple areas inside so everyone can enjoy their own space while being together. The main level has an open floor plan with a well-stocked kitchen, a dining area with seating for 8, and a bar for 3. These adjoin the living area with the gas log fireplace and TV. Upstairs you will find a loft with a game table that seats 6 and a PS3 game system with an assortment of family-friendly games. Downstairs boasts a huge game room with a pool table, PS4 game system, a sleeper sofa, and comfortable chairs so you can enjoy the latest sports or movies on the large Smart TV. You will also find board games and books for all ages throughout the house. Do not forget to check out the garage, where you will find the ping pong table.

    *Firewood available for purchase after booking. Please contact Carolina Cabin Rentals if interested.*

    The 14-acre property is yours to explore. Although you may feel remote, Banner Elk is only 4 miles from the cabin, Valle Crucis is 5 miles away, and Boone is less than 30 minutes. Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain are both within 10 miles. Grandfather Mountain and Linville Falls are also nearby.

    Important Information
    Elk Laurel is a large family home, and we ask that you respect the total number of occupants allowed. This is NOT a party house. Loud, boisterous events will not be tolerated, as the neighbors will contact the authorities. Thank you for your consideration as noise travels through the mountains easily.

    Please Note: A few exterior cameras are monitoring the roadway for security reasons. They do not monitor any living spaces outside.

    Great for families
    We had 2 families meet up here. We had plenty of room. Everything was clean and in great working order. The hot tub was ready for us. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

    Overall a great experience. The house was as it appears in the photos. The location was accessible but still felt secluded. The only issue was that the AC was a little weak for August, but the air outside was cool enough that it wasn't a big deal.

    Wonderful mountain retreat
    This cabin was beautifully furnished and immaculate and supplied with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. My family enjoyed the pool table, the ping pong table, the hot tub, the fire pit, the wraparound deck, and all of the TV's. The place was super cozy and comfortable. We loved it.

    Beautiful Property
    Our family chose the cabin for the size and access to the Highland Games. The cabin exceeded our expectations! Extremely clean with comfy bedding, hot tub towels, fully stocked kitchen, fun game room and beautiful views! Our family made wonderful memories during our visit!

    It was NOT cleaned AFTER prior guests
    I hesitated to write a review but I felt it was important to inform others. The place was big and nice. It accommodated our large party. And the location was perfect! However, upon arrival the place had NOT been CLEANED after the last guest! I was embarrassed for my family and friends. I called the number and it took me 30 minutes to get ahold of someone. Once I got ahold of someone her child was screaming in the back ground and she stated 'that I (me not her) had a bad connection'. She told me she filed a compliant and someone will call me back. I did tell her that I didn't want someone to come clean as it would be strange as we sit here while they clean, we had our dog with us therefore we couldn't really go anywhere for several hours. BUT I needed cleaning supplies, fresh bedding and fresh towels ASAP so we could clean the place. My mother and her friend (both in their 80s) were there so we needed to clean the property ASAP due to COVID and the unknown! 2 hours later...NO ONE ever called nor came to the property, I called them back - at this time it is 7PM. BTW we drove from FL and STL both 9 - 10 hour drives. When I spoke to someone at 7 PM she said 'I see the pictures you sent' I told her no one asked me to send pictures, so how do you have pictures. She proceeded to let me know that the ticket was not filed correctly either. I asked for a manager to call me back, of course that never happened. Finally, at 9 PM 2 very nice ladies came with fresh towels, bedding and cleaning supplies, my understanding they didn't even work for the cleaning crew who was supposed to clean the place. I asked for a full refunded, it didn't happen they did reimburse me for some but it was not nearly enough. Oh and manager never called nor did I get a reason why the place had not been cleaned. And we could not use the hot tub since it had not been cleaned either, what a waste. I will NEVER book a property that is hosted by Caroline Cabin Rentals again! As a matter of fact, we just booked another week in Banner Elk for late May / early June and any search that came back with hosted by Caroline Cabin Rental I skipped. Pam Schneider

    We had a great time staying in Banner Elk! The house was perfect for us and our friends to get away. Close to Banner Elk winery and a short drive from Grandfather mountain this house was in a great location.

    wrap around porch was awesome
    The house was perfect for our needs. We loved the wrap around porch. The living space and kitchen were both nice and big. It’s a very dog friendly house supplied with water bowls for your fur children. The house didn’t smell like other places that are pet friendly. We enjoyed our time very much.

    Perfect house for our family reunion!
    My husbands side of the family came from Virginia and SC to meet up for a few days. Sleeping arrangements were perfect for our 8 adults and 4 kids. Home was well appointed and kids loved the ping pong table and hot tub. The firepit we roasted s’mores on was also a nice perk! We fell in love with Banner Elk while there too- such a cute town.
