We booked this home for a weekend for our trip to Banner Elk / Beech Mountain Ski Resort with our son and daughter and their spouses - so there were 6 adults.The host was super responsive to a couple of questions that we had.The home was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. The beds were super comfortable & the gas fireplace and large leather sectional couch in the living room was cozy. It was too cold and snowy to enjoy the deck, but I can imagine that it would have a beautiful view on a clear day. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

Awesome stay in Banner Elk at beautiful mountain home!

Great house on Beech Mountain. The view is second to none. Walk out onto the deck to see Grandfather Mountain and Sugar Mountain views right in front of you. The interior of the home is beautiful as well. Nicely furnished rooms with comfortable furniture. Great place to vacation in any season of the year. Minutes from skiing, hiking, biking, restaurants, etc. Will definitely go back again!

A Great View

The views from this property were amazing. The house was very clean and spacious for our family. Deer would make an appearance on a daily basis. We were lucky enough to get a little bit of snow which made the view that much better. We enjoyed the gas firepit on the porch and spent hours just enjoying the view. We would definitely stay there again.

It was so peaceful! Waking up daily with the Mountain View was simply amazing. Seeing the deer and bunnies on the front lawn was fun to enjoy. Parking was difficult as the road to get around to the front of house was very narrow for our suv but overall still very beautiful.

Great place for a guys weekend!

This house was the perfect hub for a guy's weekend. We spent the first few days fly fishing the Watauga and Upper Toe rivers nearby. Had some great food and drinks in nearby Banner Elk and Beech Mtn. The house itself is convenient to all sorts of outdoor activities. We were a little early for ski season, but we were able to hike to the top of Beech Mtn. It has a fantastic view of Grandfather and Sugar Mtns. The comfortable furnishings made me feel like I visiting a ski lodge. I will definitely be returning to the beautiful house in the future!

Cozy relaxing vibes

We enjoyed High Gravity so much! The views were so cozy and the front porch was perfect to just sit and take it all in. Evolve team really made our stay so easy and enjoyable. Everything worked as we wanted. They had propane tanks provided for the grill and the tabletop firepit which was great to just grill on the porch and sip some coffee/hot cocoa by the tabletop fire pit. The porch speakers were an absolute bonus. The upstairs room was the perfect space for the kids to have their own space. All kitchenware was great and had everything we needed. Place was clean and just as pictured! Check in and out was super easy. Absolutely would recommend staying here!

This place was excellent! We stayed for 5 days and had a blast!! The amount of space in the House was incredible. Large bedrooms with really comfortable beds. The views from the back porch were incredible, quiet and the weather was terrific. Everything you need in Town was only 10 minutes away. Cooked on the grill several times, made meals in the fully stocked kitchen, and ate out several times at some great restaurants in town. Ready to book again next year!!

High Gravity

It would be hard to beat the beautiful vistas from the deck of this well appointed home. We found it comfortable and spacious. The master bedroom, bath, and closet are large with king bed, large dresser, bedside chests, lamps, armoire ( which held extra bedding), t v and 2 arm side chairs. Double sinks in master bath and drawer space were nice features. Large jetted tub but small separate shower. There are two guest bedrooms, comfortable but small with a shared bath, also small. An upstairs bonus room with comfortable sofas provides a half bath as well. There were some minor maintenance issues need to be addressed. Overall it was very comfortable and functional. Access to the garage was a real plus.

Relaxing setting

We enjoyed the property very much. It was just as presented on the website. We especially enjoyed the pastoral setting. The only negative thing I can say is that the driveway was a little too narrow and hard to negotiate for my full-size truck.
