Book a hotel near Apple Hill Farm, Banner Elk

"The staff was great. Location was excellent with a beautiful view of Beech mountain."

"We took our first big family vacation last week with our 4 kids, their spouses and our 9 grandchildren. I was a bit nervous since 8 of the grandbabies range from 6 months to 5 years old and 9th one is only 9. This home has so much room that it wasn’t an issue at all. Every family had their own room and the main living area is huge! Even with all the littles in there dancing around, we still had plenty of room. It snowed a decent amount( at least from my Floridian viewpoint) 2 times during our stay and it was so fun! We all were sliding down the hill, building snowmen and having snowball fights. The owner had his landscaper come by both times and scrape and de-ice the steep driveway so we could get in and out. We didn’t really leave much though. We just enjoyed our time together, the beautiful snow and the absolutely breathtaking view from the ginormous picture window in the main living area. When the kids were not out in the snow, they were playing in the game room. They really only could play the arcade game, but it occupied them for hours. They also have a ton of board games and cards with poker chips, which the adults utilized after the little ones went to bed. The kitchen is big with plenty of space for us to put all our food. They had everything you could need already there. The beds were super comfy and the bathrooms are big. There is even a washer and 2 dryers which we def needed after all the snow time. Stay here, you will not regret it! "

"Exceptional service "

"Our stay was amazing. We were there for a quick girls trip to celebrate our bride. I will say that there were a few things....the driveway was very steep and, quite honestly, scary. The dishwasher didnt seem to be washing the dishes. Lastly, the ovens were difficult in heating up. Overall, the stay was perfect for what we were doing. The views were gorgeous and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Check-In and check-out were very easy. "

"The room was amazing; I stayed in Nell’s room. Grounds were beautiful even with how cold and dreary the weekend was! Lots of history here, very much enjoyed my stay."

"Great house with an even better host! She helped us with our kid friendly hikes and made sure we were settled in nicely. It’s so refreshing to find people who care about their guests and it’s not just some property management company that treats the house like a hotel. We loved how close we were to Boone, very centrally located to most attractions. House was clean and easy to manuever. My only suggestion is alittle more exterior lighting because it’s dark in the woods especially with my kids running around at dusk. Other than that, it was the perfect house! We will be back!"
