I have stayed many places in banner elk over many years. This was a great, secluded location and the place was spacious. The only criticism I have is that I was not familiar with the building and did not know my unit, D, was downstairs. If a person couldn’t get up and down stairs, there would be a problem. This should be mentioned in the listing and confirmation. ##### Shelley P.

The reason for the 3 stars is due to the AC not working. We were told we would get a credit for our stay because they weren’t able to fix it during our stay. The refund never happed. I prefer to stay at a place not managed by a large company because the service is so much better. ##### Debbie B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David R. 16 Aug 2024 #### Very Good Choice. Clean, spacious , well equipped condo. Nice view but not spectacular like other condos in The Reserve. Closest access to ski in to ski slopes. King bed soft. Twin beds hard. Take your pick. Wi fi signal strong. Roku TV fine, regular cable spotty. Could use helpful instruction manual in condo. ##### David R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sydney G. 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Sydney G.
