Atop Banner Elk - Pet Friendly Cabin! Stunning Grandfather Mountain Views, Close to Beech Mountain!

Come and stay Atop Banner Elk! This lovely mountain cabin offers a great view of Banner Elk and Grandfather Mountain from a lofty perch on the way to Beech Mountain! Three levels, four bedrooms, and stunning year-round mountain views make this a perfect getaway any time of the year! Who knows - you might even get a visit from the local black bear (see photo below!)

The welcoming great room's wall of windows overlooking the view is the first thing you'll notice when you enter the cabin. Kick back on the leather sofas, enjoy a fire in the gas log fireplace, and watch your favorite shows! There's room for everyone at the table to gather together, and cooks of all skill levels will enjoy working in the kitchen with its granite counters and stainless steel appliances.

Time for bed? The cabin offers four bedrooms. On the main level you'll find a King suite with a private full bath ensuite. The bathroom offers double vanities, a separate Jacuzzi tub, and a shower. Upstairs you'll find a second King suite with a private bathroom as well. On the lowest level of the home are two bedrooms, one with a King and one with two Twin beds, and between them is a full bathroom.

Breathe in the cool mountain air on the cabin's wraparound decks. Rock away your cares in the Adirondack rockers while you enjoy the ever changing mountain views. Grill up a feast on the gas grill and dine al fresco at the log picnic table!

Perfectly located less than ten minutes to downtown Banner Elk or the town of Beech Mountain, and just half an hour to Boone or Blowing Rock, Atop Banner Elk is sure to become your new favorite place to stay in the High Country!
The cabin is less than 10 minutes from Ski Beech, and 15 minutes from Sugar Mountain!

Just Wonderful
This cabin was very comfortable, the furniture and beds were very nice. Every detail was well appointed from the drip coffee maker, to the Keurig, to the electric teapot; they really wanted you to have your coffee "your way". Everything about the kitchen was the same, thoughtful in every detail. The rooms were very dark, which meant a great sleep, but they had placed night lights in all the right places so that you could find your way in the dark. The views from the deck were spectacular, we couldn't get enough of the sound of the trees blowing in the wind. Great location as well. Thanks for a great stay. We plan to come back.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The location is perfect as it sits directly in between Banner Elk and Beech Mountain and it's only a few minutes drive to each town. Home was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We would stay here again. Thanks!

Great House
A great family trip. We drove up from Florida and my son and his family drove down from Connecticut. A great meeting point. Everyone had their very own space! My only issue was our dog who is not comfortable with other dogs was greeted just after we arrived by a neighbors big black dog. He came right up to the glass door. That set our dog into a panic. He came around almost daily. Everything else was perfect!

Powerlines and Traffic Noise
While the cabin itself is OK and yes, just OK. The location was very disappointing. The cabin is located in a gated community, but it is right at the entranceway. At the entranceway is a busy roadway at the top of a hill and a curve so extensive traffic noise is heard pretty much all the time making sitting outside peacefully impossible Also, the advertising pictures look very nice, but what it doesn’t show is a series of large powerlines which run directly in front of the house Or that the cabin itself is pretty cramped. The listing also shows long range Mountain views. These were completely obscured by the trees when we were there. Finally, the upstairs large bedroom relies on a small window unit air conditioner to cool the room which was insufficient and noisy, making it difficult to sleep.. I think a lot of creative photography is used to make the cabin look much more attractive than it really is.

Easy check in and great location. 5 min drive to Beech and 10 min drive to Banner Elk. Very spacious cabin. Mountain range view is obstructed by leaves but would be great in the winter. Water pressure in the shower wasn’t great and there are noticeable pet stains throughout; however, it is a pet friendly property. Very cozy overall. Wouldn’t stay again just because of pet stains. The property was very clean but felt not clean because of the stains.

Beautiful Property in the Mountains
5 star property & location. Blessed to see a momma bear & her 3 cubs, as well as a doe & newborn fawn. The property is impeccably clean. The owner & property management company were extremely helpful when the power went out & the gate controller lost it’s brain. Almost too late we found out there are remote controls for the gate on the table inside the door that would have solved the problem. I also had to ask the management company for a current gate code the day before check in as the check in information gave us only the prior 2 months, so make sure you have that before you arrive. Highly recommend.

Flooded Nightmare on Lazy Lane
Start - door code wouldn't work - called at 4:40PM - after hours recording - left several VMs - waited in cold rain, finally contacted - reset the code. House was clean (1 positive thing). Water was so bad, I had to buy a bunch. Many times the shower water was down to a trickle then would slowly start again. Two days in - basement had small ceiling leak - called/texted left VM @ 9:45PM, no reply. Next day a ceiling fan fell - hanging by wires. Again contacted management via phone/text about the leak/fan - finally got response. Told someone would be out - ask for ETA. Waited all day - couldn't leave dogs alone. Service person a no show. Next morning - the small leak burst. Called & text again many times - no response. Friend contacted the homeowner via Facebook - said they would contact us. Was able to find & cut water off. 8 people now with no water. Was finally contacted via text - service person sent. Did nothing but look & leave. We're told we could go to another home - waited over three hours - left msgs via texts over & over to confirm a new home. Had to go back to a flooded house to pack and move. Water in the home was not being removed - could cause mold - family members couldn't stay in the basement prior to the flood due to odors. To date, I haven't been contacted by the customer care team. So automated - the personal support is lost. Needless to say, I wouldn't return - lack of service plus health concerns - possible mold in the basement.

Wonderful Stay
Wow! This cabin is spacious, very clean, with beautiful views, comfortable and relaxing. This is great for a family getaway or get-together. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, there is plenty of room to stretch out or sit on the deck and enjoy the views. We had deer about and a nice cozy fireplace. It is a place not to miss, especially for big gatherings. Caution: The roads are a bit windy, especially if one doesn't like night driving. You will enjoy it.

Great mountain house
This is a beautiful house with a sweeping valley view. Several old friends joined me for a weekend of catching up after many years. The house was perfect for us, and the service was excellent. When we discovered the tank for the gas grill was empty, the host had a new one delivered within the hour! I hope to stay there again sometime.

Overall the visit was great. The house comfortably accommodated our group. We enjoyed our daily visits from the birds and deer, however, the neighbor’s dog routinely visited and tried to join our household even leaving his poop behind. The view shown on the website was not what we actually saw due to the growth of the trees.

Great Cabin in the Mountains
We've stayed at numerous VRBOs over the years but this one is without a doubt the best. The cabin is exactly as described. There were plenty of starter ammenities upon arrival. There were ample cooking utensils and dishes. The beds were extremely comfortable. The only caveat I'd give to potential renters is get there during the day and look for a sign that says Fox Pointe. It's a sketchy drive at night if you haven't been there yet and navigating the drive down in the dark was pretty difficult. Once you've seen it in the daylight its easier. It is literally on the side of the mountain. It is absolutely gorgeous and we'll be returning during the winter. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Family vacation and wedding for my son and daughter-in-law
Stayed here for my son and daughter-in-laws wedding it was only 12 minutes from their venue and lodge beautiful views. The entrance is a little tricky especially at night because there isn't a lot of lighting for you to see putting in the code for the gate and then driving over the steep drop off into the parking area. The home was perfect for what we needed it for.
