The location was convenient—just a short drive to Lowe’s grocery store in Banner Elk and an easy trip to Boone.The home itself is thoughtfully designed for larger families, with bedrooms positioned on either side of a spacious, open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area. One of the standout features was the accessibility—entry was simple, and it worked wonderfully for a family member who uses a walker. The owners were communicative and helpful throughout our stay, ensuring everything went smoothly. The large deck was perfect for sipping wine and taking in the views. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed—including a cast iron pan, which was a great touch for cooking! Overall, this home made for a perfect getaway. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Paige L.

After we checked in, we probably said two dozen times “this place is perfect.” The house was clean and fit our group’s sleeping needs. The kitchen being open to the massive couch and beautiful fireplace was just what we wanted. The location made it easy to enjoy Wiseman’s View, Boone, and Blowing Rock while on our trip.

We were on one side and they were on the other side with lots of space between for active grandchildren. The kids loved playing outside in late fall. The outdoor terrain can be a challenge for older adults depending on any challenges you have as it’s on a hill. Large deck offers lots of outdoor level space. Huge inside fireplace offered extra warmth. Private with great outdoor views. ##### Miki O.

Close to trekking, skiing (Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain), shopping, etc. Ideal for a family vacation. It has an efficient heating system and a fireplace (gas) which we all appreciated since we arrived during a cold front. The house is very clean, nicely decorated, and well-furnished all over, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and living @ dining rooms like if it was our own house, with abundant extras such as good books, and an awesome TV (ideal "landing site" after skiing or other outdoor activities). Good beds and comfortable sleeping rooms, with a Master Bedroom separated by double doors from common areas, a "nice to have" when you want to rest. Communication with the owner was at all times, good, timely and friendly. We loved it, and would definitely recommend it. ##### Eduardo V.

Lost power. Undecided about leaving since we were booked 3 more days. The next day we lost water. Contacting host took 2-3 hours. Finally found a neighbor who told us about the seriousness of our location and helped us evacuate. Only road out was washing out. We could have used battery lighting and city water as our neighbors had. An evacuation plan included in the house information would have been help. Host is in another city Loved the house. Won’t go back. ##### Carolyn M.

Close to grocery store and an easy/short drive into either Boone or Banner Elk. Ended up skiing at Beech Mountain and was about a 30 min drive, but Sugar Mountain would be less than 15 mins away. House had everything we needed, including a boot dryer and a large hearth, which ended up being very useful when drying out our snow gear each day! We ended up getting "snowed in" one morning due to the slick conditions of the roads. The town does come around about every hour and put down salt, so the road does melt quickly and vehicles were eventually able to make it down the road that afternoon. A nice surprise was that the owners have the driveway plowed and sidewalk shoveled if a heavy snow does arrive during your stay. Recommend for your next stay! ##### Rachel G.

Very thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay comfortable. We stayed as a meeting place for family for our daughters graduation from App state. It was perfect! I cooked several meals, the house was well equipped and very cozy and clean. It would be hard to get to in ice or snow, but luckily we had neither. Highly recommended. ##### Christie M.
