This house is a complete joy to stay in. The view is spectacular and the house is wonderfully set. Great kitchen and great sitting areas to relax. The weather was perfect for being outside and would certainly love to stay there again if we return to Banner Elk area. Could not have selected a more perfect place.

Absolutely amazing!

Our family of 15 had a fabulous time at this amazing property! The home is spacious, yet cozy, and was very clean. There are multiple gathering spaces, inside and out, and several spots to enjoy alone time as well. Our favorite part of the property was the outdoor kitchen area. With a grill, counter space, refrigerator, HUGE table, and a wood fire pizza oven, what else could you want? Our hostess was quick to respond to any issues and made our stay delightful.

The Ivey's probably get tired of guests gushing about their place, but count me as a gusher! The outdoor patio area is every bit as beautiful as the pictures indicate. We indulged ourselves with the hottub, corn hole, the outdoor grill, the firepit, darts as well as the pool table. Never a dull moment. The bedroom configuration offers plenty of privacy for everyone. The indoor dining table comfortably seats 12. Location is a perfect launch point for a variety of activities in the area. Be aware that the views from the back are not 'panoramic' of the mountains, but idyllic none-the-less. Highly recommended.

Graduation celebration 2025

We had 14 family members to celebrate graduation for the first grand daughter on both sides- go APP! Amazing home and so comfortable! The only thing was the trash area was closed on the Sunday morning we departed, so we had to leave it by the laundry area. We loved that the family had played for App and had a fun game room, outdoors etc. Would stay again for another epic weekend!

Beautiful Family Friendly Cabin

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin. It was large enough for our family to get together and have plenty of space. We lived the game room and outdoor activities. Plenty to do right there and have lots of family fun!

This home was gorgeous, well furinished, and provided plenty of space for the friends staying. The outdoor area was better than expected- we got amazing use out of the pizza oven and the outdoor dining table was perfect to share a meal. I can’t recommend this property enough.

Wonderful stay!

We stayed for my dad's 70th and it was probably one of the best family vacations we've had! Great location, cozy large house, wonderful amenities. Loved the pizza oven, hot tub, and especially the large kitchen breakfast table! Hope to do it again next year :)

Lovely mountain house

The house was beautiful, clean and everything worked! The set-up was perfect for our large group of extended family. The house really had something for each age group of kids and plenty of space to play outdoors. We cooked inside and also used the outdoor grill and fire pit. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this property to anyone staying in the area with a larger group!
