About this property
Location! Cozy & Squeaky Clean! Book Fall&Winter at Banner Elk's Favorite Cabin!
In the center of Banner Elk lies a charming two-bedroom cottage that provides the ideal retreat for your upcoming mountain vacation. Surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, you'll be just a short 10-minute drive from the slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort and a 12-minute drive from the thrilling runs of Beech Mountain Resort. For a day of adventure, Grandfather Mountain is just a 24-minute drive away, where you can explore the iconic Mile High Swinging Bridge and encounter native wildlife.
Back at the cabin, you'll find all the comforts of home, including free WiFi, a washing machine and dryer, a cozy fireplace, and a smart TV with cable channels and streaming. The fully stocked kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, outside deck grill, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle, blender, and toaster, allowing you to easily prepare delicious meals. Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table, surrounded by the cabin's rustic charm. Dining is also available on the wonderful deck where you feel like you are in a tree house away from the world!
After a day of outdoor exploration, unwind on the balcony with a cup of coffee, your favorite beverage or relax in the living room, where you'll find good old fashioned games to unplug and enjoy some family time. The cabin also features two bathrooms, plenty of towels, guest toiletries, a hair dryer, an iron and board, air conditioning in both bedrooms, heating throughout, and wonderful linens, ensuring your comfort throughout your stay. With a baby gate, high chair, pack and play and games for kids, this cabin is perfect for families. Secure parking in the garage completes the package, making your mountain retreat a truly carefree experience.
*Things To Note Please
~Stairs are required to enter this property. We ask our guests to make sure this is something they are comfortable with prior to booking.
~The drive does have a slight incline as so many mountain properties do! It is what make us the mountains. It is paved, however, manageable by 99% of our guests regardless of the type of car they may drive. And... it is maintained in the winter by a wonderful local gentleman on call for us with his snow plow! He never lets us down and we feel super fortunate to have him look after our driveway on the many wintry days the high country produces!
~The property does have 1 security camera facing the driveway and mounted above the garage. This is for monitoring the property when it is unoccupied and for monitoring winter conditions of the drive. We turn it off when our guests arrive except to periodically check conditions of snow accumulation. There are no other cameras inside or out on our property.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa PolhIll

Thanks for considering "A- Frame of Mind," our little cabin in the trees of Banner Elk. I am Lisa PolhIll, and own the cabin together with my husband, Frank. We fell in love with the high country several years ago visiting often in the summer to escape the Alabama heat! We now are lucky to spend a large portion of the year here and enjoy ever moment of it! We manage this property ourselves and when we aren't available we have trusted friends who do so for us.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property to share as a rental because we think it will fit the need of so many travelers. Our goal with A Frame of Mind is to provide a comfortable, extra clean and convenient location for our guests to call home for awhile while visiting this special area! The convenient walkable location to downtown Banner Elk is the best! We have traveled a lot in our lives and stayed at many many rentals. It is our goal to make this cabin one where you feel at home and totally comfortable. We know vacation time is a special time and nothing sets the stage for that time better than a great place to call your home away from home! We hope you find that here at A Frame of Mind. If we may have missed anything or can do anything to make your stay more comfortable, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
What makes this property unique
LOCATION!! You can't beat this location so very close to Banner Elk "downtown" The privacy and coziness of the cabin is great for relaxing and quality downtime. The cabin is squeaky clean and provided with all the comforts of home! Personally owned and managed you are a true guest and not just a reservation number when you choose A-Frame of Mind. We can't wait to host you and your group!
