This elk has been in the town forever, but this past year the elk has been refurbished and installed as the centerpiece of the town. This elk frames Appalachia in the sense of this small town pride in the mountains. In the background you can see the historic elementary school and rolling mountains and once again the North Carolina pride of the state flag surrounding this elk even though about 100ft to the right there is another flagpole with the same flags raised high and proud. This is where every child in this town went to school in this picturesque location but as time rolls on is Appalachia move on too? #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/10821/43d8e3a4-45db-4b8d-a710-8a970ef6997f.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) The Greene 3 min drive \- 1.3 miles - ![Throughout my childhood I spent so much time at this park. I always remember of thinking of it as the park in the middle of the mountains. What I never noticed as a child was how every single aspect of this park was planned out and put there for a reason. Likewise before studying the photographic image I had never thought about how we construct a image and its affordances and constraints. One thing I really want to point out in this image is that while we have this beautiful park there is a huge ugly pipe in the middle of the photograph. It is part of the necessity of the planning of the park, just like the frame is a necessity of an image. We sometimes want to forget it is there but it is a necessary part of an image and still has meaning. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/10821/b54ab56c-1521-40d6-a4f9-9bcb4b82d501.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Tate-Evans Park 3 min drive \- 1.7 miles - Lees-McRae College 1 min drive \- 0.9 miles - Elk Statue 3 min drive \- 1.3 miles - Sugar Mountain Resort 9 min drive \- 4.4 miles ### Getting around - Tri-Cities, TN (TRI-Tri-Cities Regional) 68 min drive ### Restaurants - Elk River Pizza Station 9 min drive - Town Tavern of Banner Elk 5 min drive - Beech Mountain Resort Cafeteria 13 min drive - Banner Elk Cafe 4 min drive - Blink Elk Tap Room 5 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Banner Bear - 1 mile from downtown Banner Elk, Skiing, restaurants pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Banner Bear - 1 mile from downtown Banner Elk, Skiing, restaurants? ### What time is check-in at Banner Bear - 1 mile from downtown Banner Elk, Skiing, restaurants? ### What time is check-out at Banner Bear - 1 mile from downtown Banner Elk, Skiing, restaurants? ### Where is Banner Bear - 1 mile from downtown Banner Elk, Skiing, restaurants located? ## Have a question?

Great for two couples with pretty much two master bedrooms. Choose the one with the walk-in shower it’s larger. #55 may vary a little from the others. The one next door did not have a back door or deck. Very nice. ##### Greg Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela M., Emerald Isle, North Carolina 6 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Location with Deer! My husband, myself and our 2 long-hair chihuahuas loved the Banner Bear! The doggies were crated and had their own room and enjoyed the front porch that had it's own gate. The home is pet friendly, but doesn't smell like it! There are rugs, but mine were oblivious to them. There were plenty of kitchen items, pantry areas and starter paper products throughout the home. I'm a coffee drinker and loved the coffee area in the kitchen! The home itself is very nice, new and most importantly, has ample LEVEL parking. Great firepit on the front porch to sit and relax after a day of touring the area. We were very lucky to have a family of deer bask in the sunlight in the backyard and munch on some grass. The momma deer actually layed down and watched her young ones. A real treat. Hopefully other guests will be as lucky to see wildlife while they're visiting. We loved Banner Bear and felt like our home away from home. Banner Elk is a great area as well. Lots of do and see. We can't wait to come again and stay at Banner Bear! ##### Angela M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly D. 10 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint with close proximity to town First impressions upon pulling up, was the small size of the house but that was delightfully deceiving once you stepped inside. The tall ceilings and openness served to make it feel larger. The house amenities were first rate right down to the heated bathroom floors. The only knock would be the televisions were streaming services only that you had to have your own subscription and password. We had no problem but a less savvy renter may find difficultly in enjoying an evening program on the tv ##### Kelly D. Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ---
