Top Lees-McRae College Hotel Reviews

Amazing Views | EV Charger | Apple Picking!

8/10 Good

"Nice place. Nice location Comfortable bed."

The Lodge at Banner Elk

8/10 Good

"This hotel has recently been innovated. The rooms are all very nice, but other property innovations are not completed. Once the restaurant and bar, swimming pool etc are finished I expect the hotel will be extremely comfortable."

☆Panoramic Views☆Rustic Luxury☆3K/1Q/2BB☆ Hiking☆Fire Pit☆Fireplace☆Ski Close☆

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very enjoyable visit. The host was responsive to our concerns."

☆Luxury Cabin☆Panoramic Views ☆3 Kings☆3 Baths☆Fireplace☆3K/1Q/2BB☆Ski Close☆

10/10 Excellent

"Great view and house is on a peaceful, quiet street. House has what you need. I didn’t realize no a/c but that’s my fault and we really didn’t need it. Easy to get to Banner Elk with great restaurants and fun shops. Would definitely come back."

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

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The house was very clean, which is something I focus heavily on. My son loved the game room! The host was very nice and the check out process was very smooth. I did not feel like I had to professionally clean the property after our stay. The instructions were simple. The house had everything we needed plus more. The location was right next to Banner Elk and nice views of the city. We didn’t have a chance to use the hot tub. Maybe next time, I would definitely recommend this property and I hope to return sometime soon."

Creekside 3 bedroom 2 bath cabin on private creek

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful little cabin on the stream. It was very clean and comfortable. Our grandkids loved the creek. It felt very secluded away from the main road, yet it was near many attractions. The host is very friendly and responsive. We plan to return! We highly recommend this property!"

Sugar Mountain Sugar Shack - Mountain Cabin, Gas Logs, Outdoor Space

8/10 Good

"Overall it was good for location but definitely needs AC. It was hot raining around 81 in the house and opening the windows didn't help at night. Also blinds need cleaning and lift over the fan to prevent dust particles from flying around when using the fan."

Hillside Haven 1Bd/1Bth | King Bed | Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very nice. Clean, cozy, and quiet. Close to town. Property owners were quick to answer questions. We were pleased."

Cozy Log Cabin With Hot Tub - Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Great Cabin with everything you need for a stay in the mountains! Cabin itself is lil close to road but you can't beat the location on the Parkway for convenience, right in the middle of Banner Elk & Beech Mountain, both are within a 10 minute drive. Roomy inside with good amenities. Washer & dryer really came in handy The enclosed back porch with an oversized hot tub was amazing after long days of hiking and exploring the area. Would/will definitely stay again & would recommend!"
