About this property

Walk to downtown Banner Elk, Excellent Views, 1BD 1BA

Welcome to “Banner Views II”, our second home we rent to guests, referrals, and friends!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Banner Elk, Banner Views II boasts amazing views of the valley, Sugar Mountain, and peak-a-boo views of Grandfather Mountain. This newly remodeled mountain cabin features, one bedroom and one bath plus a pull out sleeper sofa. Amenities include an oversized front porch overlooking the valley and sugar mountain, gas fireplace, cable TV, wifi, brand-new TVs (2), full-sized washer/dryer, and stainless appliances. A queen bed and a queen sleepater/sofa will accommodate up to 4 adults. With brand new flooring, custom wood ceiling, fresh paint, and all new furniture, the cabin is a fantastic place for a family vacation, romantic getaway, or girl’s weekend.

The cabin is a two minute walk to 10+ restaurants in downtown, a five minute walk to Lees-McRrae College, and a quick 10 minute walk to Kettell Beerworks. Also a two minute walk is the local park, hosting live music on Thursdays in the summer, various art festivals throughout the year (including the inaugural Beerfest), and the famous Wooly Worm Festival.

We are nicely situated between two ski resorts; Sugar Mountain is 10 minutes one way and Beech Mountain is ten minutes the other way. Walk to local favorite Edge of the World for a second-to-none white water rafting experience.

Great Location, okay amenities.

Phenomenal location, just up the hill, easy walking distance to downtown. Place was clean, owner was easy to reach and quick to respond. Just needs a few things. The space heater in the main room is not intuitive and the instructions are not clear. This would not be such a bad thing, but the heater is absolutely necessary in the winter. It's on a gas line, too, so super clear instructions in a very clear location are much needed. The heaters also make it tough to maintain a consistent warm temperature, especially at night. Also needs some coat hooks by the door.

Nice location, easy access to downtown Banner Elk.

We enjoyed the property. Parking is a little tight for parger vehicles, but not bad.We did struggle a bit with the heat8nng system until we were informed the upstairs thermostat conte9ls the heat downstairs. There is a gas heater which w9rked well, but temperature regulation was a challenge. Still, overall a very nice stay.hearing system

Great experience

Cozy space as advertised, tight parking if you are in a XL Vehicle, Tahoe or long truck. Walking distance to some great restaurants, ice cream parlor, and a arcade for the kids/teens. Quiet area with nice views. Only suggestion I have is bring a space heater if you are visiting in winter. They do have a gas space heater if you are comfortable operating one.comcomfortableoperating that.

Vacation Nightmare

Did not state downstairs condo when we booked. Parking no ample for full sized vehicle. Pull up and backup three time to turn around. Room not ready at arrival time. Bed was horrible. Like sleeping in a pit. Stayed only one of two nights because of lack of sleep. Heat controlled by upstairs condo. We woke up at 54 am feeling like an oven with no way to control the heat from the ceiling. We would have been more comfortable tent camping.

Parking a pick up is difficult

We have a 4 wheel drive. If there had been more than our pickup and the renters from upstairs we could not have parked there. It could have been a lot cleaner.

Awesome

The place was roomy and comfortable. I was concerned because the pictures looked like two different places. The bedroom and bathroom have been redone. The living room and kitchen were rustic but very clean. The town is walkable from Banner Views. We walked the first two days but the hill is steep. We decided to drive after the second time up the hill. The water in shower was hot! Which I appreciated. The sofa in the living room was a sleeper sofa. My friend said she slept great on it. The air conditioning was a window unit in the living room. We had a great view of the fireworks over Sugar Mountain for the Fourth. I would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We toured properties all over the High Country. This was the ONLY place that was an easy walk to restaurants, had good views, and was convenient to the slopes.
