Beautiful mountain home

The home was beautiful, updated and clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Propane fireplace made for a cozy comfy living room. There were deer right outside the door. Exactly what you'd hope for a house in the NC mountains.

Cozy 3 bedroom cabin

Cozy three bedroom A frame type cabin with wood and slate floors. Kitchen had the things we needed. I would suggest to add some pot holders :) . The cleaner was still there when we arrived at 4:15 but it did not stop us from unloading our cars. He was very nice and gave us his number to call if there was anything still needed. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood. It does sleep 8 people but 4 must sleep in bunk beds. It worked out great for us with three children and two couples. Very close to Sugar mountain, Beech mountain and Grandfather mountain.

Disappointed for the price

Pros: Location was great. We enjoyed hiking at the local and national parks in the area. We enjoyed star gazing and making a fire pit in the front yard. Cons: There were not enough lights in the house. We ended up moving lamps around so we could play card games and cook dinner etc. The overhead lights are not powerful enough. There was dog poop under one of the beds and food in the sheets of the bunk beds. We ended up having to wash the kids sheets before they could go to bed, and the bunk room smelled awful. We ended up opening the windows to try to air out the room. There were not enough towel hooks (and we only have 5 people). The towel bar in the master bath was barely hanging on to the wall. For a house that sleeps 8 people, only 4 could sit at the table and the bar stools were bar height stools for a counter height table, which meant your knees hit the counter if you tried sitting and your food was down at your knees. The adults ended up just standing and eating the entire visit. When we arrived there was only one tiny cutting board (like for cocktails). With Covid we had planned on making all of meals. I contacted the owner asking if there was another cutting board. The response was ~ there used to be one. I asked if he had a local service that could help. I.e. we had just driven up to the cabin and I was trying to get stuff done (washing the sheets and sanitizing everything because I didn't trust the cleaning crew). The owners response was ~ go buy one from the store. I would have been happy to do that and leave the cutting board if he had even offered to reimburse us. So we ended up spending a portion of our vacation hunting for a cutting board (we had brought all our own food to avoid wasting vacation time). Also, many of the locals weren't wearing masks in stores so we were trying to avoid that. So, if we had paid a portion of the price and it wasn't advertised as "luxury" rental, I wouldn't have been quite as disappointed. For over a $1k for 3 nights....

Family Spring break Get a way

We enjoyed out stay at the “Eagles Nest” and everything was just as described on VRBO and perfect for our family and pets. Nice cabin tucked away in the mountains of North Carolina that is less than 10 minutes from Banner Elk. If you travel in the winter months make sure you have a 4x4 as there are some steep inclines and winding roads on the way in to the property. The skiing at Sugar and Beech mountains was easy to access from the cabin. The neighbors were friendly and helpful as well. We would definitely book another stay at this property.

New Years 2022

It was our first time renting a place for the holidays over New Years with our family and fur babies and it was by far a GREAT experience. The cabin is EXACTLY how the pictures look. It was clean, spacious and overall comfortable. The only issue was the driveway not being paved but there is additional parking space out front if your not able to drive up on the rocks. The cabin is a great get away and close to ski resorts and other High Country destinations. Ulrich is a great host and very responsive. We are already talking about renting again for next year.

Spring Break

My family had a wonderful visit for a spring break getaway to the mountains. This home was in a great location for what we were looking to do (hike,bike aand relax!) It was very well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen had your basic necessities and we had no issues. The owner was quick to reply and very responsive. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away and enjoy peaceful surroundings. So glad we went!

Enjoyed my stay

It was a nice property. I enjoyed my stay. Cons: There were a few problems I noticed like there were dirty dishes, stains on the pillows and covers, the lights were very dim making it harder to see at night. The property was even a lot smaller than I had imagined. Pros: BUT none of that ruined my experience there. Me and my group of 6 fit in with no issues, the cabin was in a great area, There was a-lot to see and do close-by. Ulrich was very responsive when I had questions. I’m glad I got to have this experience thanks to Ulrich. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks!

Good cabin for the $

Overall the property is just as described. If you need a nice getaway 2-3 days this is a good spot. Its a bit of a drive to beech mountain (20-25 minutes). Banner elk city is about 10-15 minutes. The property was cleaned well and ready to go once we entered. Ulrich was great resource and responded rather immediately on any questions/suggestions.

It’s the little things...

It’s the little things that matter most to me and with this one seemed to add up. Right after purchase we were quickly told that we could only bring our dog if we paid a non-refundable 250 per deposit (per dog). Only after I mentioned bringing our dog did the owner say this (after we had already reserved and paid). Anytime there is a pet deposit it is mentioned and taken care of AT THE TIME OF RESERVATION, so this was a let down as it said it was pet-friendly and there was no mention of a NR pet deposit. Already had a high priced regular cleaning fee too. Said they’d have to steam clean the carpets because of people with allergies (but no mention of bedding, rugs and couches?) Point being : if you’re going to allow dogs there is no way to completely turn a rental back into one safe for a person with a true dog allergy. It just doesn’t work that way. I could see an increased pet fee just in the off chance that a dog made a mess while staying - I get that. But, steam cleaning carpet? That does nothing for allergies. So, we didn’t bring our dog. The rugs definitely smelled of dog and didn’t appear cleaned. The couch had visible dog hairs on it (just a few and didn’t bother us). Upon arrival we were thankful we drove the 4Runner and not my Outback. The turn into the parking pad at top of driveway had horrible deep muddy pot holes with very little gravel. Made for a tough turn in and out each time we left even with 4WD. Considering the time of year it would have been nice to have some salt left for us on or near the stairs going up, as it had been raining and they were covered with ice. The coffee pot carafe was cracked and when I wrote them they made no offer or gesture to replace for us. So, no coffee pot. They make big deal about all the cookware? We found just a hodge-pudge of pots and pans with no matching lids, etc. no pizza pan or pizza cutter (really?). Nice dishes I guess and lots of coffee cups that we couldn’t use....so we ate out. There are no towel racks in bathroom upstairs and no shelves in bathroom for toiletry bag. Never found a hair dryer. Downstairs toilet needs new handle and tank doesn’t fill all the way. Have to play with it. A couple of lightbulbs burned out and we replaced. Told them and they responded not to replace any. Sorry but....Overpriced IMO and way too many air fresheners in walls and drawers. We unplugged a few because we couldn’t stop sneezing. Sorry but, it wasn’t that great of a place....

Great visit to Banner Elk and Beech Mountain

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked. There was a very steep driveway, but it was well-maintained the entire stay. We even had about 4 inches of snow Saturday night and a maintenance truck came on Saturday morning to clear the driveway and road up to the property. The property owner responded promptly to questions. I would definitely recommend.

Pleasantly surprised

The house was very clean. Loved how easy it was to start the fireplace. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of cooking utensils, pans, and dishware. Our mini-schnauzer appreciated the dog bed, as we were unable to bring his along. The owner was extremely responsive to questions and the binder of info in the house about local restaurants and activities was helpful. The house sleeps 8 but there is not seating for 8 unless you use the dining chairs in the family room to watch tv and some people eat their meals on the couch. The dining table is large enough to accommodate 2 more dining chairs and there is room to add a love seat. If the house is going to be advertised for 8 guests, it should have adequate seating at the table and in front of the tv for 8 guests. Would stay here again.
