We loved the layout of the cabin. The beds were comfortable (it was a plus to have queen & king size beds). Plenty of hot water for six adults to get showers. It was so cozy! We played pool, built a fire, and enjoyed the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again. Suggestion - It would be nice if a crock pot was available to use. I had to borrow my niece's. ##### Karen S.

It is clean, comfortably furnished and has a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of hot water. The only neighbors are Lees-McRae College and a house across the road. The back deck has a view of the mountains. On July evenings, we could watch fireflies and listen to the chimes of the college bell tower -- very relaxing after a busy day.

Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem We booked this cabin in Banner Elk last summer after seeing it online and we were able to drive by it last year to double check its location. When we checked in things were as advertised. We spent many evening hours on the deck overlooking a valley which contains a Mill Pond and waterfalls, which serenaded us and a few guests who came to dinner. Our thirty-day stay turned out to be the perfect about of time. Our labrador appreciated the location almost as much as we did. It is right on the campus of Lees-McRae college. Many walks around the campus were special. The 4th of July parade in Banner Elk assembles on a street right by the cabin, so we were able to walk over to watch the parade. The cabin is well equipped, close to everything in Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing rock. We are thinking about going back next year. ![View from deck of valley and mountains.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/63e466e8-a2cb-4b54-84b4-2793c4a9454f-1751920179021.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hidden Gem from the head of the driveway.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/de9ee7fc-9079-473b-857e-0e4ea2195ae6-1751920238350.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patrick H.

We were going to have one or two adults sleep in the loft… no way! Steps up very narrow and space only meant for 2 children. Whole house needs a good scrubbing! Bathroom mats in front of sink were disgusting. And we got a call that day on our drive up that the hot tub had a small leak but it would be ok and still be usable. No way! Maybe to a small child and not 6 oncology infusion nurses who work very hard giving chemotherapy and wanted to relax in a hot tub…..Of course we made the most of a not so great cabin and spent time away from the so called Hidden Gem…and there is plenty of firewood on the front porch. ##### Alison L.

High beamed great room with massive stone fire place. Rustic old comfortable furniture. Bathrooms had all modern amenities and the one bed we used was very comfortable. TV's in all rooms, some with premium channels. Modern kitchen with ample utensils. Great outdoor deck with amazing hot tub and hugh fireplace looking to the mountains. Complete privacy even thou downtown Banner Elk was a three block downhill walk. Good value. ##### Daniel C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew R. Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Awesome location Overall property was very nice and the location was amazing. We walked down to downtown Banner Elk frequently. The rental itself was ok…we are major clean freaks and actually had to reach out to the management company to have a vacuum delivered since one was not at the rental. Outdoor fireplace was great. We did not use the hot tub as it was not super clean looking and the ants are pretty bad on the hot tub and deck. The pool table was great. The management company was very fast to respond. Overall our experience was a good one although we would probably choose a different rental in the area if we return. ##### Andrew R.
