Loved being close to so many activities we wanted to complete. House was secluded and quiet. A few issues but all seemed due to weather. Would recommend this place and hope to come back during a different season. House was stocked with household items so not a ton of room for items we brought/purchased but was able to make do.

There are some little things that could use attention, but the home and surroundings are absolutely magnificent and make up for them. The home is very elegant but livable. FYI- I leave Christmas out year-round too. And my 4 year old grandson was thrilled to find a Dr Seuss collection among your countless books. Thank you.

This house is a complete joy to stay in. The view is spectacular and the house is wonderfully set. Great kitchen and great sitting areas to relax. The weather was perfect for being outside and would certainly love to stay there again if we return to Banner Elk area. Could not have selected a more perfect place.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Even with a rainy week, the spacious home provided lots of room for games, puzzles, quiet reading spaces, pool, and lovely deck views. The amazing outdoor kitchen was a big hit and provided wonderful family meals. The property has easy access and plenty of parking. We also enjoyed having a great grocery store close by. Hope to enjoy another stay there soon.
