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 6 min drive \- 3.6 miles - Lees-McRae College 3 min drive \- 2.7 miles - Banner House Museum 5 min drive \- 3.2 miles - Elk Statue 6 min drive \- 3.6 miles - Mountain Glen Golf Club 7 min drive \- 4.2 miles ### Getting around - Tri-Cities, TN (TRI-Tri-Cities Regional) 78 min drive ### Restaurants - Town Tavern of Banner Elk 9 min drive - McDonald's 14 min drive - McDonald's 11 min drive - Blink Elk Tap Room 7 min drive - Banner Elk Cafe 8 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Bear Necessities pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Bear Necessities? ### What time is check-in at Bear Necessities? ### What time is check-out at Bear Necessities? ### Where is Bear Necessities located? ## Have a question?
