The Lodge at Banner Elk

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean, and nicely renovated. They are renovating the whole property so it’s dusty but the staff was also great!"

Whispering Pines Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The house is so big very good for family or group of friends traveling. The location is perfect, it is near the restaurants, near to pharmacy and food lion. The rooms are huge and clean. They have complete kitchen tools so you can cook. I love the place. The host is very accommodating and very fast to respond even though I messaged very late at night she was able to respond quickly of what I need. They sent us a very detailed pdf that contains all information from check in to check out and also suggestions of what to do in Banner Elk. The experienced was amazing."

Rocky Top Lodge: BRAND NEW Luxury 4,500 Sq Ft Mountain Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Gorge

8/10 Good

"This house is absolutely GORGEOUS! Beautiful views and top of the line items/appliances. We had to communicate a lot with Foscoe Rentals which they were very quick to respond. The house even smells new! We truly enjoyed our stay! The one downside that I have mentioned to Foscoe already was that I felt like the home could've been cleaned a little better. There was just some dog hair on the couches which I guess was expected since it is a dog friendly rental but since we didn't have a dog with us, we were not expecting. But overall BEAUTIFUL home and would return again and again!"

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."
