Stylish & Bright Downtown Gem ~ Mountain Views!

You'll love this location- tucked away in the trees, yet only steps from the best Banner Elk has to offer. The views are stunning from this 2 bedroom, open-floor plan upstairs unit that overlooks quaint downtown Banner Elk below and the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains beyond. We hope that the brand new full kitchen (no dishwasher), laundry room and en suite baths will be everything you're looking for, and more.

A five minute walk down the mountain and you'll be in the middle of the Main Street shopping and dining district. Three minutes more and you've arrived at Tate Evans Park the perfect spot for a stroll to the stream, playtime in the field or on the playground or to attend one of the many outdoor concerts. It is perfectly situated between Beech and Sugar mountains and only 30 minutes to Boone.

What's nearby

  • This is the headstone of Banner Elk, North Carolina. This elk has been in the town forever, but this past year the elk has been refurbished and installed as the centerpiece of the town. This elk frames Appalachia in the sense of this small town pride in the mountains. In the background you can see the historic elementary school and rolling mountains and once again the North Carolina pride of the state flag surrounding this elk even though about 100ft to the right there is another flagpole with the same flags raised high and proud. This is where every child in this town went to school in this picturesque location but as time rolls on is Appalachia move on too? #appalachianechoes

Such a great place!

We had the best time and absolutely loved this precious house. It’s right in the middle of banner elk and so close to multiple restaurants, also right in between beech mountain and sugar mountain. Kyle and Ashley were so helpful with recommendations and always responded so quickly. We for sure want to come back! Couldn’t have asked for a better host!

Mountain haven experience

Could not have expected more comfort and convenience for the money. Great views of the mountains and the village directly below the property. Tastefully decorated without any clutter. Even the bed linens and towels were just a little nicer than expected. We went on two mountain trail hikes that were just short distance away with several more to choose from. We hope to be back soon.

Best view

One of our favorite vacation rentals ever -- stunning views from the wraparound deck, comfortable seating and beds, very clean, and all amenities included. The doe and twin fawns hanging out by the parking area were an added bonus. Our hosts were very responsive, we highly recommend this home.
