8/10 Good

"not that what I experienced was owners fault VROB had wrong house listed on web site and I did not get the house and amenities that I wanted"

“Banner Elk Retreat -Walk to Town-Family-Friendly + A/C”

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful condo and gorgeous views! Well appointed three bedroom in a perfect location to Banner Elk and all surrounding towns. Enjoyed the coffee station and Lillian had everything you need to make your vacation perfect. This property is perfection and we look forward to returning very soon."

Whispering Pines Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Whispering Pines Retreat. Everything was exactly as described, making our trip easy and enjoyable. The condo was comfortable, clean, and pet-friendly, which was a huge plus for us.The location was very convenient, with coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance, making it easy to explore the area without having to drive everywhere. The grocery store was also just a short distance away, which made picking up necessities quick and convenient.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Whispering Pines Retreat to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and pet-friendly place to stay."

Walk to BE | Hot Tub, Game Room + Ski Access

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay here in Banner Elk. You could see the whole town buzzing below from the deck, which is where we spent most of our time when at the house. My children loved playing in the rolling lawn below and begged to come back in winter for what must be epic sledding. We walked to get coffee in the mornings and walked to dinner, as the house is so convenient but also nestled in the mountainside above town. We found the house just as described and very clean upon arrival. It was well stocked with toilet paper and paper towels to get you started. Plus included bath towels and beach towels, which we definitely used for the hot tub! My children were never bored thanks to the amazing arcade too! And we loved the fire pit at night!Communication was probably the best I’ve ever experienced with any VRBO before in my life. The owners were so responsive, helpful and polite in an instant. Note that there are some narrow stairwells, which makes sense given it’s a mountain house. And some of the downstairs bedrooms (one queen room and the twin room) are attached to the master bedroom, which makes the house perfect for a large family, but may not work for some groups. There is another king room on main floor and a queen room on the top floor, as noted in the listing. Anyway, this was the perfect house for our family of 6. We cannot wait to return!"

Mountain View, 3 minutes to downtown Banner Elk, easy access and ample parking!

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was clean, easy to find and easy to check in to. The views out the back deck were great and the kids even played in the backyard. Super convenient to downtown Banner Elk. One of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed in."

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

8/10 Good

"Property well situated to local shopping, different restaurants at downtown Banner Elk...many are pet friendly; easy driving distance to 2 ski resorts, Mast General Store at Valle Cruc, Beech Mountain, Blowing Rock, Blue Ridge Parkway; nice view of mountains right up to Sugar Mountain. We sat on the porch for morning coffee, afternoon with sweet tea and read in the sunshine and after dinner with blankets and wine to enjoy the view and lights of Banner Elk and Sugar Mountain. The cabin was very clean, smelled wonderful, nice size tv, well-loved couch and love seat, two chairs at bar separating the open concept kitchen/family room, had a nice size refrigerator with ice maker, stove, microwave, toaster and regular coffee pot (luckily a partial bag of regular coffee and filters were provided, as we took our favorite Kcups; you may want to take sweetener/creamer of choice), there is a washer/dryer (take laundry supplies), plenty of towels and wash cloths provided (take bath soaps and hair products... and extra toilet tissue as there was only 1-1/2 rolls available for 3 adults. The gas fire place did not work but is being replaced per my conversation with manager about the heat situation, as it was very chilly after sundown. There were 3 space heaters provided for comfy heat; there is electric heat but manager controls that. I did ask for that, as I am personally afraid to go to sleep with space heaters. All-in-all, we enjoyed the cabin very much and would definitely go back."
