About this cabin rental
Welcome to Elk Ridge Lodge, where breathtaking panoramic mountain views await!
Perched above the charming town of Banner Elk, this spacious cabin offers stunning vistas and an inviting retreat for your mountain getaway. Step into the grand hall, where a striking stone chimney rises from the heart of the home. Cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows showcase the spectacular scenery, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. The lodge is decorated with impressive deer and elk mounts from Ted Turner's personal ranch, adding to its rustic charm.
The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, brand-new stainless steel appliances, and a spacious center island, perfect for meal prep. Guests can enjoy their favorite brew with both a Keurig and a standard coffee maker. The elegant dining table comfortably seats up to twelve.
The main-level king suite offers deck access, a private TV, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom, complete with a large jetted tub, a double granite vanity, and a custom-tiled shower.
Upstairs, two wings share a central bathroom with a double granite vanity and a combination tub/shower. One wing houses a second king bedroom with a TV and a Juliette balcony, while the other features a third king bed, a TV, and its own balcony.
The lower level provides additional accommodations, including two bedrooms that share a full bath. One room has two queen beds, while the other features two twin-over-full bunk beds—each with its own TV. The shared bathroom across the hall has been newly renovated with a tiled shower. This level also provides access to the converted garage, now a heated and cooled game room, complete with a ping pong table, foosball, and a large-screen TV with comfortable seating.
Outside, the expansive main-level deck offers space for the entire group to relax and take in the views. Rocking chairs provide the perfect spot to unwind, while a gas grill is ready for outdoor cooking. Gather around the gas fire table under the stars or follow the walkway to the covered hot tub for a soothing soak.

Property was exactly as advertised and in very clean condition. We did not use or plan to use the hot tub but peaked at it and it was not exactly inviting. Everything else was great.

It was fun! If you have children you might want to bring baby gates for the stairs but besides that it was great and just as it advertises ]

This home was perfect for our family getaway. We had a wedding at Overlook Barn and this was a great home in a great location for our big group! Beautiful views and a new hot tub was enjoyed!
