We were very pleased with our stay and very thankful to be able to take our small dogs! We slept in the downstairs bedroom and the bed was extremely comfortable! The bathroom was just the right size for 2 people. The back porch being covered was wonderful as we happened to be there during a hurricane. Being able to let the dogs out on the back porch and not have to worry about them getting away was a comfort. We will definitely stay again!

Thank you, Jennifer! We’re so glad you and your pups felt right at home! We’re especially happy the covered porch gave you some peace of mind during the storm and made things a little easier for everyone. ❤️ It means a lot to know you had a comfortable stay despite the weather, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back for another visit under sunnier skies!

We enjoyed relaxing on the large covered porch. The porch’s dog gate allowed us to let our dog onto the deck without fear that she would run away, but was easy to open so we could walk her. Side note- the owner was SUPER responsive and helpful if we had questions.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Ross! We’re especially glad the covered porch worked so well for you and your pup—it’s always nice to hear when those little practical touches make a difference. And of course, we’re happy we could be available whenever you had a question. It was a pleasure hosting you all!

Nice townhouse close to Sugar Mountain

Our family had a very good stay. We liked that the house was located in a quiet area, yet close to many attractions, stores and restaurants. The home is comfortable and looks just like the pictures.

Great place in a quiet area. Just a short drive to Banner Elk which was nice! Only issue we had was our code never worked for the electronic keyless entry. Messaging was delayed for the host given poor cell coverage so ultimately had to call the “emergency number” but they were able to give us the combination for a lock box to access an actual key.Overall enjoyed our stay and would stay again if back in the area!

We are thrilled that you enjoyed the peaceful area and that the quick drive into Banner Elk worked so well for your trip! We are always happy to be supportive, and we are so sorry for the frustration with the digital door code at check-in. Cell coverage can definitely be tricky in the mountains, but we are so glad our emergency line was able to assist you right away with the backup key. We’ve already followed up with our team to check on that electronic lock to make sure everything is running smoothly moving forward. 🛠️ It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be happy to welcome you back anytime!

We had a short but wonderful stay. The location was perfect as it was centrally located to the things we wanted to do and was exactly what we hoped for. The view was beautiful! Joe and Michelle are excellent hosts and were quick to communicate and respond to questions and went above and beyond. We had gone to a wedding in NC and my 2 adult sons forgot their suits in a closest! They arranged to have the suits shipped to us. We would definitely stay again.

We're thrilled the location worked perfectly for everything you wanted to do during your NC wedding visit! It's great to hear the beautiful view delivered and that the central location was exactly what you hoped for. We're so happy we could be supportive during your stay - especially getting those suits shipped to you! We couldn't let your sons go suitless after a wedding weekend! 😄 Knowing you'd definitely stay again means so much to us. We'd love to welcome you and your family back anytime!

Pet friendly and great settings in the woods. Close to all kinds of activities. So many things the hosts thought to have in the house i.e. fire ladders in the upstairs rooms, humidifier for those that find NC very dry as compared to FL. Easy access to the hosts anytime we had questions. Within mi of messaging them they got back with us. The house was clean and ready at check-in. Had a great stay thanks for what you provide.

Amazing views

Absolutely beautiful place. Very clean. The “cleaning lady” stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed and that the space was satisfactory. She impressed us. Well furnished. Great space. The only disadvantage for me was the stairs. But that is of no fault of anyone. We plan to return one day. Can’t say THANK YOU enough.

Great value. Comfortable townhome.

We rent a lot in the Banner Elk area. This was the first time we stayed in this location. It is convenient to Boone and Banner Elk and very close to the Profile Trail, which we visited each day. The condo was clean and comfortable. The back porch is large. We enjoyed our stay and would rent here again.

Cute and cozy

I surprised my wife for our 18th anniversary. When we got here her eyes lit up and was so excited! The view off of the back deck of the mountains was awesome! We sat by the gas firepit every evening and enjoyed a beer or in her case a hot chocolate. This place is very close to grandfather mountain and other places to visit and things to do. Bedrooms are very spacious, and each one has a thermostat so you can control the temperature of the room you are in. When talking to the owners, there was always a quick response. Access to the room was super easy and very convenient. No need for an in person check in or out. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice quiet place to stay. It's far enough out to enjoy nature but not too far away to where you can't enjoy a nice nightlife. I give this place a 5 out of 5 stars. I am hoping to come stay again and next time bring the rest of my family. Also as a side note, this is a pet friendly place with a limit of 2 dogs, just make sure to talk to the owners in advance. Thank you for a great week Joe and Michelle! We hope to come visit again soon!
