About this property

Welcome to Hidden Gem

*Please be aware that this property borders Lees-McRae College. Construction is taking place on a neighboring property owned by the school.

Hidden Gem is a rustic mountain cottage tucked away in a wooded property bordering the Lees-McRae College campus. It is conveniently located just a short walk from Banner Elk. Enjoy beautiful views and proximity to the town center at the same time.

Hidden Gem features an open floor plan with hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. The great room has a wood-burning stone fireplace, cozy leather furniture, and a large HDTV with a Blu-Ray Player. The kitchen has granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a custom dining table.

The king master suite has an ensuite bathroom, a large HDTV, and access to a screened-in porch with a dartboard and a napping swing. The other two bedrooms have HDTVs and share a bathroom. On the other end of the cottage is a game room with a slate pool table and a 55-inch HDTV.

The rear deck offers a covered outdoor living area with a wood-burning stone fireplace, comfortable lounging furniture, and a sunken hot tub. The rear deck leads to a landscaped, private backyard encircled by mature trees and with a fire pit. There are views of Grandfather Mountain and Elk River from the backyard.

Hidden Gem is located near downtown Banner Elk, giving access to shopping, dining, festivals, and everything else Banner Elk offers. Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain Ski Resorts are just minutes from this property.

Great Getaway!

We had a fabulous time in Banner Elk! Hidden Gem is in a great location, and it took only minutes to get to the town. The house was clean and cozy, and we enjoyed a fire each night! The porch off of the master bedroom was incredible. We enjoyed playing darts and resting in the swing bed. The bars and restaurants were great and everyone was friendly! My friends and I would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway

Property was as listed and very clean upon arrival. Outdoor fireplace on the deck is a great addition & a very relaxing area to spend time with friends/family. Hot tub wasn’t working at the time, but the host responded to resolve issue very promptly. If we go back to the area, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great getaway location!

Family Friendly Rustic Getaway

Our family loved this house! The hot tub and outdoor areas were perfect. There is construction going on at the college that is pretty close to the house but didn’t impact us at all (only getting thru it to get to the house). Management company was easy to deal with and communication was a breeze.
