About this cabin rental
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!

Overall the house was fine, but I would say the cleaning crew has some room for improvement. Nasty old sponges left in the sink, old k-cup left in the coffee maker and plenty of dirty dishes in the cabinet. The worst part was the Property Manager. We reported the refrigerator was not working at 7AM. They did not get a technician out there until after 3PM (and they never did fix it. It continued to beep all night and not work). I repeatedly contacted the Property Manager to ask for
