*Please note the following

*The driveway does have a slight incline but it is paved and very manageable by nearly all of our guests in any type vehicle. It is maintained by a snow plow in the winter when necessary according to winter weather conditions.
*There is one security camera on property. It is located outdoors by the garage and films the driveway only. This is important to us to be able to monitor our home when it is not occupied as well as to monitor winter driveway conditions for our guests. It enables us to know when to call our snowplow guy to come and take care of the driveway . There are no other cameras outside or inside of property.

Cozy weekend

This mountain cabin features wrap around decks that are nestled in rhododendron and offer some privacy. It is perfectly situated for a relaxing Banner Elk town visit, a Beech Mt. adventure, and treks into Boone. We enjoyed the games and snacks provided by the host. The house offered everything we were looking for. And the host was very proactively available.

Perfect Mountain Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in A Frame of Minds that was so easy to get to, first class in comfort, and very pleasing mountain decor that has a very thoughtful host. Plus after experiencing having a garage with a remote opener is now a must have especially in winter. We would stay here again.

Best Little Cabin in Banner Elk

This cabin is a favorite of ours. This was our second stay here. Each time the owner has always made the check-in and check-out process seamless. She always communicates in a timely manner to make sure you have all you need for your stay in the Banner Elk area. This cabin is conveniently located less than a mile from the Banner Elk town center making it easy drive to our favorite breakfast spot the Banner Elk Cafe. Our favorite feature of the cabin is the fireplace. We sat in front of it for hours just chatting. The owners also make sure you have plenty of wood to burn. We will definitely be heading back to this cabin in the near future!

Nice cabin, close to town…walking distance to park and restaurants. Owners were very accommodating, allowing us to check in early. Special touches (basket of snacks, fans in both bedrooms for white noise, cute plush bears on the kids beds) made our stay with kids even better!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa PolhIll

Host profile image
Thanks for considering "A- Frame of Mind," our little cabin in the trees of Banner Elk. I am Lisa PolhIll, and own the cabin together with my husband, Frank. We fell in love with the high country several years ago visiting often in the summer to escape the Alabama heat! We now are lucky to spend a large portion of the year here and enjoy ever moment of it! We manage this property ourselves and when we aren't available we have trusted friends who do so for us.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property to share as a rental because we think it will fit the need of so many travelers. Our goal with A Frame of Mind is to provide a comfortable, extra clean and convenient location for our guests to call home for awhile while visiting this special area! The convenient walkable location to downtown Banner Elk is the best! We have traveled a lot in our lives and stayed at many many rentals. It is our goal to make this cabin one where you feel at home and totally comfortable. We know vacation time is a special time and nothing sets the stage for that time better than a great place to call your home away from home! We hope you find that here at A Frame of Mind. If we may have missed anything or can do anything to make your stay more comfortable, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION!! You can't beat this location so very close to Banner Elk "downtown" The privacy and coziness of the cabin is great for relaxing and quality downtime. The cabin is squeaky clean and provided with all the comforts of home! Personally owned and managed you are a true guest and not just a reservation number when you choose A-Frame of Mind. We can't wait to host you and your group!
