About this property

Walk to downtown Banner Elk, Excellent Views, 1BD 1BA

Welcome to “Banner Views II”, our second home we rent to guests, referrals, and friends!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Banner Elk, Banner Views II boasts amazing views of the valley, Sugar Mountain, and peak-a-boo views of Grandfather Mountain. This newly remodeled mountain cabin features, one bedroom and one bath plus a pull out sleeper sofa. Amenities include an oversized front porch overlooking the valley and sugar mountain, gas fireplace, cable TV, wifi, brand-new TVs (2), full-sized washer/dryer, and stainless appliances. A queen bed and a queen sleepater/sofa will accommodate up to 4 adults. With brand new flooring, custom wood ceiling, fresh paint, and all new furniture, the cabin is a fantastic place for a family vacation, romantic getaway, or girl’s weekend.

The cabin is a two minute walk to 10+ restaurants in downtown, a five minute walk to Lees-McRrae College, and a quick 10 minute walk to Kettell Beerworks. Also a two minute walk is the local park, hosting live music on Thursdays in the summer, various art festivals throughout the year (including the inaugural Beerfest), and the famous Wooly Worm Festival.

We are nicely situated between two ski resorts; Sugar Mountain is 10 minutes one way and Beech Mountain is ten minutes the other way. Walk to local favorite Edge of the World for a second-to-none white water rafting experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the great proximity to town—we’re glad that was a plus during your stay. I do want to clarify a few items for future guests. During this stay, no issues were reported to me, and all of my contact information (including phone number) is provided in the listing and welcome materials. I’m always happy to help in real time and respond immediately when contacted. Shortly after your departure, the next guest alerted me to a breaker issue, which was repaired the same day. The home also has a brand-new dual-zone furnace and AC system, with heat supplemented by gas logs. Instructions are provided, and I’m always happy to send my handyman over if assistance is needed—had I been made aware, I would have done so right away. I appreciate the note about the bath rug and have addressed that with my cleaning team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Guest comfort is very important to me, and I’m always here to help resolve anything during a stay. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Brad

About the host

Host profile image
We live and work in Raleigh but sneak off to the coast or mountains as often as possible (I'm a UNCW guy...she's an App State gal).

Why they chose this property

We toured properties all over the High Country. This was the ONLY place that was an easy walk to restaurants, had good views, and was convenient to the slopes.
