About this property

Banner Elk is open and welcoming guests! Cabin has no storm damage!

BANNER CREEK CABIN is a three bedroom/two bath cabin located in Banner Elk between Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain. The cabin can accommodate up to seven people comfortably.

Our home features SkyBest TV and wireless fiber high speed internet. Large Screen TV with Roku and a smart BlueRay player in the living room. We also have a flat screen TV with Roku and cable TV (YouTube TV) in the master and both lower bedrooms. Our home has an abundant array of family games indoors and out.

The outside fire pit is the perfect spot for roasting s’mores or use the lawn for a great game of bocce or corn hole. The 7 person salt water hot tub on the back porch is a great spot to ease those tired muscles after a day of hiking or skiing.

The main floor consists of an open concept living room, dining room and kitchen. The living room includes a gas fireplace, large flat panel TV, large antique chest full of family games, comfy velvet sofas to curl up in after a long day of hiking or snowboarding. The dining room table seats 6, with additional seating at the kitchen island. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything guests need to prepare a meal (minus the food!)
Down the hall from the main living area are located two bedrooms and one bath. One bedroom has two iron twin beds, a day bed and antique furnishings and paintings. The back bedroom has a queen size bed. The downstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combo and a washer/dryer. All linens and towels are provided.
The master bedroom is on the second floor. There is a king size bed furnished with luxury linens, large closet and master bath. The master bedroom has a private deck with amazing seasonal views of Grandfather Mountain. The deck is a great place to kick back with a glass of wine and a book. A single serve coffee maker makes that morning cup in bed only a few steps away.
Enjoy the front porch which has two rocking chairs or guests can also enjoy the back deck, off of the dining room, which has two rocking chairs, a picnic table and a gas grill in addition to the hot tub. Don’t forget the fire pit! No matter the weather, a fire is always enjoyable. Firewood and starters all provided. Take a stroll through our yard and come upon your very own flowing stream. Grab a chair, refreshing glass of (insert your own beverage choice!) and kick back to the soothing sound of the stream.
The cabin is equipped with 2 sets of golf clubs for your use.

Enjoy all that the mountains have to offer...we are minutes from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Grandfather Mountain, Beech Mountain Ski Resort as well as North Carolina’s only alpine coaster coming in early 2020. No matter the season, there is always something to do in the mountains.
North Carolina's High Country is a favorite destination of families, couples and adventure-seekers. North Carolina has the highest mountains east of the Rockies and caters to adventurers of all abilities. While you are here, visit some of our favorite spots – Edge of the World for rafting, hiking, mountain repelling, Bella’s Italian Restaurant - near Sugar Mountain, Foggy Mountain Gem Mine off of Hwy 105, Summer Theatre at Lees McRae College – Main St., Banner Elk. Give us a try – we love the high country and would love to share the experience with you!

Perfect Family Getaway! Winter Wonderland

This home and location were ideal for our family's winter getaway. Just five minutes from Sugar Mountain, fifteen minutes from Beech Mountain, and five minutes from Food Lion for food and essentials, we relished every moment. We loved the cabin's lovely Christmas decorations, the outside fire pit, and, most importantly, the hot tub/spa, which was ideal after every day of snowboarding and skiing! When needed, the property owners offered extra assistance, and our family enjoyed a fantastic ski holiday. Thank you for the stress-free stay and the experience.

My kids enjoy this house

Overall we had a good stay, my kids enjoy the creek behind the property, the hot tub, and the fire pit. Unfortunately, our stay got off to a not so good start, as the housekeeper had started but not finished cleaning the house. Fortunately, the owner was ultra responsive and had the housekeeper there in less to an hour to finish. It was an inconvenience to start our trip, but I appreciate Stephanie’s responsiveness and her ability to quickly rectify the situation. Other than that hiccup, we didn’t have any issues with our stay.

Amazing time there

Amazing property and location. The place had everything ready for use including even graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate for smores. We felt welcomed the moment we walked in. The couches could use an update, but other than that we had wonderful time there.

Amazing Cabin in the Woods!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin in Banner Elk. My husband, 16 year old daughter and I were there visiting Lee-McRae college. We couldn't have stayed at a more comfortable place. The cabin felt like a secluded forest retreat, complete with a fireplace, a basket of cozy blankets, rocking chairs on the front and back porches and super comfortable beds. Ron and Stephanie took care of every detail such as basic cooking supplies, dishes, towels and then went the extra mile with bonus extras such as providing coffee pods, sugar and cream, an assortment of tea, a bottle of wine, a smores kit, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and toothpaste. The covered back porch was a relaxing place to watch the rain falling on the tree-filled backyard. We did not have time to use the fire pit and hot tub but both looked very inviting. We will stay here again next time we are in Banner Elk.

Quiet and Secluded

This cabin is located off of a quiet lane in Avery County, surrounded by beautiful foliage, making for a private retreat. The kitchen is the best stocked I have experienced in many years of vacationing - from dishes to pans to utensils to spices to hot beverages - nothing is left out. The rooms are comfortable, love the hot tub and the fire pit. Such a lovely, welcoming home!

Great house and location!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay! The house was so convenient to everything, including downtown Banner Elk, the Alpine Coaster, and Sugar Mountain. The house has been well maintained, and we really enjoyed the back deck with the hot tub. The s’mores kit they provided was a nice touch that we all enjoyed using over a fire. The house is on a very quiet street and we were able to take the kids on a walk each morning to enjoy the cool air. My family and I are already planning to stay here again in the future!

Family getaway to the Mountains

This cabin was roomy for our family of four. Cabin was very clean and communication with the manager was good. Our location was good and in between the places we wanted to travel, which included Boone, Grandfather Mountain & Elizabethton in TN for white water rafting. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful home away from home

My family of 6 stayed during our 1st family vacation. The home was decorated for Christmas, which was so sweet. We made s’mores outside and the kids played in the yard. We spent a lot of time skiing, but got to enjoy the local towns stores and restaurants. It was perfect!

Wonderful cabin & host!

The location is awesome- It is so accessible, including driveway, and just down the road from grocery stores, restaurants - while still being easy drives to Beech, Blowing Rock etc and all the fun activities. Walking in, you see every detail was carefully thought out (down to the s’mores ingredients and - don’t laugh- good toilet paper; not the cheap stuff lol!!). Awesome hot tub, fire pit, comfy beds, stocked kitchen, games. The host Stephanie is so responsive and great. We absolutely LOVED our stay!!

Great getaway to ski

We had a fabulous stay - and happy to get snowed in for a day and half with the hot tub! It feels like you are faraway from the hustle and bustle but it only took us 10 minutes door to parking lot to go skiing. The thoughtful details (like a keurig in the master), the robes, the ice melt at front and back doors were all fabulous. Can’t wait to come again!

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning. We loved the location, which was near downtown Banner Elk. Everything was perfect and the s’mores and wine that were left for us were a wonderful surprise. And the fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed. We were in the mountains to play disc golf and the practice basket was great to have. And the hot tub was nice after being out all day. Highly recommended!!

Makena's Graduation Gathering

My daughter and I arrived Thursday, May 2nd, for a long weekend to attend my grandgirl's graduation from Lees-McRae. Her parents drove in from Nashville the next day. This cabin was perfect for our mini-family reunion! For the next few days, it became Party Central for our extended family. Instead of eating at a fancy restaurant to celebrate, Makena chose a pizza party with her family at our home away from home! We loved everything about the cabin, its location, the comfortable beds, the Great Room, etc. I'd reserve it again if and when we return to Banner Elk!

Great little Cabin

Great location, very private, lots of attention to details. Owners put a lot of thought into everything to make for a very comfortable stay. The kids enjoyed playing in the stream, walking through the woods, getting in the hot tub and roasting marsh mellows in the fire pit. We would highly recommend this wonderful cabin. The only problem we had was there were not enough towels but that was probably just an oversite by the cleaning crew. Other than that, it was perfect.

We were able to find you home last year and stayed for 9 days. At the last minute decided to head up and stay again. You added some nice touches which only enhanced your home and beautiful setting. Only home one day to hot Florida and looking toward coming up again next year.

Perfect Mountain Cabin!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin was tastefully decorated and very clean. The kitchen has all the cooking essentials and nice dishes and silverware. Bathrooms were clean and I appreciate that there were several hooks for towels. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and also the fire pit. The owners even include a starter supply of s’mores ingredients and sticks for roasting marshmallows. The yard is also beautiful with lovely green grass and nice landscaping. We enjoyed the privacy of the property! The town of Banner Elk is also very nice with plenty of restaurants, a grocery store, and Walgreens close by. For fun we enjoyed mining at Sugar Creek gem mine, visiting Elk River Falls, and exploring downtown Banner Elk. We hope to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Ron and Stephanie Yoder

Host profile image
We are both NC natives with a love of all that NC has to offer. Our full time residence is at the coast, but we are super excited to now have a mountain getaway as well. We've vacationed in the high country for years and can't wait to share this experience with our visitors.

Why they chose this property

We searched for a year or two for just the right property for us. Privacy and seclusion were important but also easy access to all that the high country has to offer. We fell in love with this cabin at first sight. The amazing yard, creek and firepit were icing on the cake for us!

What makes this property unique

Two key unique features of our cabin are its combination of secluded feeling and easy access. These two in combination are quite rare in the area. We also love the flat open yard area - also quite rare in the high country. Many homes are built on unlevel sites and have limited open grassy space for outdoor activities.
