We loved our stay at this cozy mountain home! The location was perfect—peaceful and scenic, with easy access to everything we wanted to do. The house itself had such an interesting layout, full of charm and character. Our kids had a blast exploring all the nooks and crannies, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable after long days of adventure. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, especially in the cool mountain evenings. The owner was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to return an iPad we accidentally left behind. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

The property was great! It had plenty of room with comfy beds. My son loved the game room. We enjoyed multiple nights in the hot tub and sauna. The steps kept us in shape while we were vacationing. The doggies even enjoyed the views. The property manager kept in touch several times throughout the stay. Can’t wait to visit again.

Cool, quirky, relaxing place!

Enjoyed our stay here with my partner, his parents and two babes under 2. My toddler loved exploring all the porches, the hot tub was perfect, as were the views! Ann's communication was top notch - and we appreciated her recommendations. Love the creature comforts of this stocked house - we forgot our shampoo and were glad there was some in the shower! We were curious to know about the history of the house, you can tell it's been updated/added onto several times - hence quirky in the title. Overall, a great stay, and we would come again!

Wonderful July 4th weekend!

My husband & I along with my sister and BIL stayed for a long July 4th weekend and had a great time! The house was as presented online, and the view was awesome. We were up high enough to enjoy 76 degree weather which was a welcome change from upper 90 degree weather in SC! Ann was quick to respond to questions, and the check in/out process couldn’t have been easier. All in all a fun weekend!

Mountain getaway

What an absolutely charming home!!! With the additional hot tub and separate sauna, it feels like you're at the spa. We needed to getaway to decompress and boy, did we! The mountain views were spectacular. Owner was very communicative, and check in/out super easy! Property is private, yet only only 3 miles into downtown Banner Elk. Would definitely stay here again.

Just what we needed!

The stay was great! Views are amazing, especially from the hot tub. We had quite a bit of snow while there which was great for snowboarding. We managed to still be able to get in and out with no problem driving an AWD vehicle. Beds were comfy and owner was great about checking in on us. Very unique property that is great for larger families or multiples families. Plenty of room to explore on this unique property.

Great place!

I really loved everything about this house, especially all the different outdoor seating areas. Beds were very comfy, well appointed furnishings. If you do not have to walk your dog, it is a fabulous place. Though you have lots of privacy, it is on a road that is not conducive to walking.
