Mountain cabin was excellent. It was large, both inside and outside back yard for our dogs.The rooms were spacious and well outfitted. We noted numerous bath and kitchen items that you would appreciate should you forget anything. Laundry room, pool table, hot tub, screened room off master with large sofa swing was fun.Walking distance to shops was great. Very pet friendly lot with large fenced area was nice.

So close and convenient to town, walking distance to lots of things. Perfect for college graduation weekend, we were able to just walk over to the ceremony. Several amenities we didn't have time to enjoy and would definitely go back again.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this! 🙏 So sorry the hot tub wasn't up and running during your stay — I'm getting that sorted so it's ready to go next time. Glad the pool table, grill, and comfy beds still made it a great trip; would love to host you again at Hidden Gem!

Great location right in downtown Banner Elk. We absolutely loved hearing the college bell go off every half hour. The beds were super comfortable and the outside living area was a common meeting place for my family. We enjoyed the fireplace every night we were there. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. Hot tub was clean. We would definitely stay there again.
