A special place this historic farmhouse, lovingly cared for by our gracious hosts. Ideal location - high on a hill with mountain views - yet just minutes from town. Lots of deer and wild turkeys around besides the pet goats and the chickens whose eggs you are free to collect. Farmhouse is clean and comfortable and has many interesting antiques and other items that add to its appeal. Well worth the stay.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. Loved the history and all the preserved pieces of this farmhouse but also enjoyed the garden tub and other amenities!! We had 3 generations and was glad for a first floor bedroom. This home is in the valley and not far at all from Banner Elk, therefore, you do not escape road noise. You even get to watch airplanes take off if you are lucky all while watching deer. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perfect family spot

We had such an amazing time at the farmhouse! Everything was comfortable, clean and beautiful. From the large soaking tub overlooking the tranquility of the mountains to the comfy beds, we had such a great time our kids didn’t want to leave. It’s the perfect location to go to Beech mountain and take advantage of the free sledding hill. We’ll be back :)

This property is as advertised, but better. The front porch was inviting, the fire pit was great for family togetherness. The house was tastefully decorated and warm. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and the location is very close to downtown Banner Elk.

Mountain Trip

My family goes to Banner Elk every year for vacation in the fall, this is the best home we’ve stayed at! It has all the characteristics of an old home, with all the comforts of a new home and everything is high end. My daughter loved being able to feed the animals each day and walking the property. I highly recommend this home.

Beautifully remodeled historic farmhouse in picturesque setting

This house exceeds expectations. The owners (who are extremely supportive) have done a wonderful job of maintaining the historic features of this unique house (which was the original house in the area and used to belong to the owner of the valley and the mountains surrounding it) while updating it to ensure that it is a very comfortable place to stay for a couple or an extended family. Overall, an amazing experience!

The house is beautiful and comfortable. It had everything we needed and we enjoyed cooking, relaxing and venturing off. The property and the walks we took visiting the animals and the scenery was so enjoyable. The host(s) could not be more accommodating. Each room is impeccable and the history of the home and land. We saw turkeys and deer in the mornings as each room has a scenic view. You are literally 4 mins from town so convenient, and we we’re comfortable dropping our boys off at Sugar Mountain for full day ski sets. We can’t wait to come back and share this trip with our friends. We are refreshed and recharged.

Wonderful historic house!

We absolutely loved our weekend at the farm house! The house was cozy and provided a very relaxing and peaceful environment. It was also clean and had a well equipped kitchen. The highlight for my kids was the horse, goats, dog, and chickens. We fed them everyday and the chickens provided two eggs for breakfast! That was a fun experience for my 7 and 9 year old. The house is 5 minutes from downtown Banner Elk, and we enjoyed the Banner Elk Cafe and walking around town. The owners are responsive and live nearby. We had a delightful conversation with Ms. Lehman about the history of the house and the personalities of their farm animals. We will definitely come back!

This is not a place to stay, this is an experience, and a most amazing one at that! We pulled up to the property you could audibly hear all of our jaws collectively drop. The front porch, the walkways, the screened entrance on the side...just wow! You enter this home and time warped back to the late 1800's. The history inside was amazing. We got lost and turned around going up and down the 2 staircases. We stayed here with our daughter and grandkids, 8 year and 3. If you like playing Hide and Seek...this is the place? There are 2 gorgeous gas fireplaces that work off of remote controls. Our grandson was "convinced" he had magic powers to turn them on and off (as his sister giggled in the background operating the remote, lol). We roasted s'mores up the hill at the fire pit. We walked across "the turnpike" to visit the chickens and play with the goats. Chilled hung on the rockers next to the antique wagon. Found fresh eggs in the coop and had them for breakfast...yum! You have to read the book they leave for you, about the property history of 140 years, then also go check out the family cemetery. We felt like the luckiest people to have found this hidden treasure! Not to mention the luxurious beds and bedding (it really was amazing). Paul and wife, Fabiana (and she really is such a kind human...I was lucky enough to meet her the morning we left as she came by to feed the farm, as they say)...they were such kind hosts. 20/10. We will absolutely be back!

The best of both worlds

The History home in Banner Elk offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful, nature-filled retreat with easy access to all the charm of the town. Nestled in a quiet area just a couple miles from downtown Banner Elk, this home provides the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. The home itself is absolutely stunning, with beautifully decorated bedrooms, living spaces, and dining room. The outdoor area is just as lovely, with a serene landscape, seating area, and grill perfect for enjoying the mountain air. My family especially enjoyed visiting the animals on the nearby farm - it was a real treat for our kids. During our stay, we had an amazing time. The house was spotless and our hosts, Fabiana and Paul, were incredibly responsive and available whenever we needed them. They clearly take great pride in sharing their beautiful home. Whether you're looking to experience the natural beauty of the mountains or enjoy the charming local dining and activities, this story home in Banner Elk offers the best of both worlds. We can't wait to visit again soon!"

Magical

This property really is a jewel. It was immaculately clean, well furnished, and very comfortable in all respects. So no places perfect, this one comes pretty close. Dusty, the horse, Arlo, the guard dog, and the two goats with the chickens really made this place a joy for my grandchildren. Checking for eggs, feeding carrots to the goat and just give an Arlo a great big head rub brought more joy to them than any amusement park. The view from the fire pit up the hill, and the surrounding grounds really made this a relaxing trip. Add the fall colors, and I can safely say that this was probably one of the most picturesque, peaceful, and enjoyable stays I have ever had. I'm not exaggerating. This is a very cool place. I appreciate what the owners have done and what they have provided.

Charming historic farmhouse

Pictures do not do this place justice! So much historic charm in this delightful farmhouse. Cute farmhouse décor abounds with modern conveniences tastefully mixed in. Comfy beds; spotlessly clean house. Master bath is spectacular. Remote control gas fireplaces in the dining room and living room are the bomb! All the basics in the kitchen. Choice of cute dishware. Keurig with regular coffee supplies is a nice touch. Lovely views from every window. Windows in the bedrooms don't have curtains as (see pictures) which are not needed for privacy as other houses are far enough away, but you might want to bring sleep masks if you are disturbed by morning light. Sitting room off master bedroom provides a quiet 2nd space to work or relax. Well located between skiing at Beech and Sugar. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful historic home that’s super cozy and inviting. The updates they’ve done provide modern amenities yet you feel like you could be back in time with the stone fireplace and log cabin walls. The soak tub in the master bedroom with views of the woods was one of my favorite parts. Highly recommend this place!
