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 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!
This was a great place to stay if you are skiing Sugar Mountain. It is only 10 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again when we go back.
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.
we love our holiday , property was super clean ,lovely , we felt like home , great location closed to all walking trails , ski centre , restaurant and best in the middle of forest , we seen dears and enjoyed best view , will love to visit again , stay in your property made our holiday perfect , thank you
We enjoyed our family weekend trip to the NC mountains at Hidden Haven#6. Very convenient to several ski areas for our family. We will definitely come again!!
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.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful wooded setting and the convenient access to nearby activities! It’s great to hear the home felt well prepared and that the little details stood out, from comfort touches to safety features. We also appreciate your kind words about communication and are happy everything was clean and ready at check-in. Thank you for staying with us, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
This was a perfect property for our family. It's minutes from Grandfather Mountain and downtown Banner Elk. Our little dog even felt right at home. We would love to make this a tradition and book this property again in the future. Thank you again! thfuture
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.
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.
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!
