    We had an amazing stay at Maya's Banner Elk Cabin! The cabin was clean, and the beds were comfortable. I felt right at home and enjoyed every moment. We had 3 toddlers as part of our family trip and they really enjoyed the kids Safari area and 5 teenagers who also enjoyed the glow jungle game room. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone with toddlers and teenagers who are looking for a cozy and clean place to stay!

    The house was perfect for our family; there were spaces in and on the property for all ages. The location was central to many activities such as wineries, Tweetsie Railroad, and shopping. The house was well stocked with necessities, and the host was very responsive. I highly recommend this property.

    Great property and host! Everything was as shown in the listing and everyone enjoyed the house very much. We had a younger set of kids there as well as some older ones, so the two different play areas were awesome and all age appropriate. It made our stay much more enjoyable. The studio apartment was great to have a separate quieter space as well.

    Mountain Majesty was all that we had hoped for. 14 of us, ages 6 to 69, were able to find rest, recreation and space to be together without being on top of one another. The mountain roads were something we had to get used to, but the scenery was worth it!

    This place is magical! We had 16 family members with ages ranging from 2 to 78 years old. There was plenty to do for all of us and also allowed for us to separate if needed. The kitchen had everything we needed, even for cooking a Thanksgiving feast. The owners were extremely responsive and easy to communicate with, specifically with the internet in the cottage and the TV remote in the living room. When we reached out to them for questions, we had answers in no time! They even purchased a crock pot for us ahead of time! They really thought of every detail for a multigenerational trip. This allowed us to relax in the living room or enjoy our smores by the bonfire. The pictures are extremely accurate to what the house looks like in person. It's very evident that the owners have much love and pride for their property. I highly recommend this home if you're looking for a vacation that will create memories to last forever.

    The house is perfect! We had everything we needed for every age. The teens and adults enjoyed the glow game room and our littles loved the jungle playroom with the gaming table (the adults even had a little fun with the game table 😁). There is something for everyone! Very clean, shampoo/conditioner/soap dispensers provided in every bathroom. The hot tub and fire pit were perfect to end the day! The host was very responsive and helpful with every question we had. We are ready to book it again for next year.

    This house is simply amazing! Every detail was thought out. There were so many rooms to spread out in and for all ages to enjoy! The grandkids loved the jungle room so much and all enjoyed the game room. The zen room was a quiet place to enjoy nature. Kapil was responsive and assisted with all of our needs. We will definitely be back as this exceeded all expectations!

From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with stunning views and a prime location that's conveniently close to many attractions, restaurants, and shops. The property itself is a haven of relaxation and entertainment. Here are some of the standout features that made my stay exceptional: 1. Game Room: The cabin boasts a range of top-notch amenities that cater to every member of the family. The highlight for me was the glow-in-the-dark Game Room, which was like stepping into a magical wonderland. Painted by a Disney artist, it's a one-of-a-kind experience you won't find anywhere else. 2. Zen Den: I enjoyed spending mornings and evenings in the Zen Den surrounded by nature, taking in breathtaking sunsets and views. 3. Private Cottage: The property also includes a unique studio cottage, which is perfect for grandparents or anyone in your group who needs some extra space, quiet or privacy. 4. So many entertainment options: I really appreciated all the different areas to relax, from the safari themed kids play area, to the comfy living room, the board gamers' loft, and the hot tub and fire pit areas. In summary, this property offers a one-of-a-kind getaway experience that you'll cherish for years to come.
