The layout of the cabin was great! Beautiful view! The drive to the cabin was partly gravel, which was rough, but It was worth it once you got up there.

Perfect Family Getaway!

The view from this cabin is beautiful! The cabin was perfectly stocked for a quick weekend reprieve from the Charlotte heat. 3 adults and 2 young kids had plenty of space to sleep, play, and eat!

Very nice.

We stayed to take part in a paragliding competition at Tater Hill which is 25 minutes from the rental. It was a comfortable and clean place for our group with a view of Tater Hill in the distance.

Perfect quiet getaway

This cabin was everything we wanted for our reunion trip. My two friends and I each had our own bedroom with private bathroom -- generous space and privacy for three friends, so this property would have plenty of room for a larger group or family to spread out and be comfortable. The view from the back deck simply can't be beat -- I could have stayed there all day just watching the mountains. The house has all the amenities you need, it's located in a quiet area that is pretty secluded, but you can also easily reach any nearby town you're after. We can't wait to return!

By far, the best cabin we've stayed in

We are a large family with a wide age range of children, and we also brought extended family along. First, the location is stunning. Even when it rained torrentially one day, we enjoyed the gorgeous mountain views without getting wet.The cabin itself was large enough to accommodate all of us very comfortably. And we had so much fun with the game room, and of course, watching the Gold Cup.Banner Elk is a beautiful area with numerous fun activities to enjoy, including waterfalls, hiking, and blueberry picking. Highly recommend & look forward to coming back.
