Rustic mountain-top Lincoln-log styled cabin with great mountain views on 17 acres less than three miles from down-town Banner Elk close to Beech and Sugar Mountain. Please note that the large pond was damaged during the storm, and the dam is scheduled to be repaired in the spring of 2026, and as soon as it is completed, the pond will be restocked. There is a smaller pond on the other side of the bridge which has small fish.

This ten room SMOKE-FREE cabin includes four bedroom, two full bathrooms and is Lincoln Log style. The cabin is anything but rustic as the kitchen appliances are new, has internet access as well as free Wi-Fi. You can feel your blood pressure start to drop as you drive up the winding private landscaped driveway. We overlook the backside of Beech Mountain Ski resort and are only seven miles from the base of Sugar Mountain. The cabin sits is nestled on 17 secluded acres on top a mountain which overlooks a valley and horse pasture. A stream runs thru the property and has a pond with a dock. The house is near trout streams for the fly fishing enthusiast. If you don’t fish, relax in the magnificent sunroom and enjoy the panoramic mountain view, or enjoy sitting on the covered front porch in the rocking chairs and enjoy the mountain view while watching the hummingbirds, deer, turkey and other wildlife.

All of your guests will enjoy their privacy as the cabin has 2200 square feet of covered living area, ten rooms and comfortably sleeps eight. There is a bedroom on the ground floor which has a queen size bed. Upstairs, there are two master bedrooms with king size beds while the fourth has a trundle bed. It is perfect retreat to comfortably accommodate two families. There is a full bathroom on each floor. This cabin has two smart TVs (one in the living room and the second in the master bedroom), DVD in the sunroom and lots of special features including a ramp entry, custom wormy chestnut cabinetry, hardwood floors downstairs and carpeting upstairs, exposed beams, luxurious bath towels and linens, washer/dryer, a covered parking area and more. When the weather is cool, sit in the living room, enjoy the wood burning fireplace and toast marshmallows or sit in the sunroom and watch the colors of autumn unfold. There is a cabinet in the sunroom which is filled with board games, and there is a dollhouse which will delight the younger members of your group.

This is a perfect place for a “Workcation” as there is free WiFi, and two different areas where you can work but still enjoy the view. We do have an “extender” to enhance cell reception.

Escape the heat as this cabin is 4200 ft. above sea level and located in Banner Elk, which has the highest elevation of any city in the Southeast. We built this cabin to escape from the south Florida heat. Although this cabin does not have air conditioning, you will need blankets at night, and there are plenty of quilts in the cabin in which to wrap yourself. The sunroom and each bedroom has an overhead fan, and all of the windows have screens. We sleep with the windows open in the summer (but sometimes have to close them as it gets so cool. In the fall, the temperature starts to drop but not to worry as there is baseboard heat, and you can set the thermostat in each room to your liking.

There are lots of activities nearby including rafting, canoeing, snow skiing, fishing, rock climbing, zip lining, mountain biking, gem mining, and hiking. Pick blueberries and blackberries in season or pick apples or pears from the fruit trees on this unique property. Four-wheel drive, all wheel drive or chains (if you do not have four-wheel or all-wheel drive) are recommended and may be necessary if winter conditions exist. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity!

Base/Beech Mountain 2.6 miles

Base/Sugar Mountain 3.5 miles
Newland 5 miles

    This cabin is the perfect place to spend time with family. We were unable to tube due to weather, it poured Saturday, but we played games and hung out and had a great time. For the cook in the house, the kitchen is fully stocked. We enjoyed looking at the family pictures and seeing the history of the cabin. Also, the Internet is fast for those with minimal service.

    My husband and I rented this sweet cabin for our anniversary trip. The cabin itself is just that - it’s a log cabin. It is not fancy. It is not new. But it is comfy and cozy with a feel of Grandma’s house. The front porch was where we spent most of our time watching the deer eat acorns and apples from the trees in the yard. The view from the porch is beautiful. The little red barn and the weathered fence added to the charm. I enjoyed the comfy back porch. There isn’t much of a view from there as the trees still had all their leaves. Even so, that porch is super cozy with all the over sized furniture. It was a great place to curl up with a book. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and there’s a kettle for tea, a drip coffee maker, a toaster, and a microwave. The fridge does not have an ice maker so plan ahead for ice. The gas grill is located under the carport around back. The washer and dryer are conveniently located in the basement. There is a rental lodge and a ‘treehouse’ to the left of this house that I did not realize was there prior to arrival. Just be aware that it is not shown in any of the photos. We did have a couple of little issues, one with a tv and a little cleaning issue but the host and the cleaning guy were both very prompt to reply. I have no complaints at all. It was a lovely stay and we look forward to a return visit. Mary Frances is a wonderful, considerate host!

    The cabin was perfect. Plenty of space, rooms large, and the view spectacular. The front lawn, watching the deer in the field, sitting in the rockers on the front porch, making our family mini-vacation an incredibly fun time. Mary Frances was amazing to work with. Can't wait to plan our next vacation in this perfect location and cabin! Highly recommend!

    Great cabin on a mountain! Wooden rocking chairs and a porch swing made for great porch sitting. The beautiful scenery and extremely comfortable beds helped make this stay amazing. Fresh air from open windows at night was just what the doctor ordered. Driveway is a little bit of an adventure for motorcycles but still doable for advanced riders.

    This is an old small cabin on a piece of land. No real Mountain View. Unfortunately the trout pond was still not working and the host was extremely helpful allowing us to depart early without penalty due to this. It was a warm time in Banner Elk and not having AC or window units made sleeping hard.

    Our family loved this spacious cabin!! The bedrooms were perfect, along with the front porch, especially the swing! The kitchen was well stocked! We saw hummingbirds on the red flowers, a friendly chipmunk, turkeys, and heard an owl hooting at night! We also LOVED all the milkweed in the field and even saw some Monarch butterflies! We loved the peaceful setting, and we hope to return in the future! The log cabin is beautiful! We stayed in the middle of the summer and so it got a little hot, so we were very grateful for the fans in the bedrooms! Thanks to the host for letting us stay in this wonderful cabin!

    The property was perfect for a weekend of skiing at Beech. The property was easily accessible and close to the slopes. The owner was very nice and easy to work with and she truly cared about the overall experience we had. Kitchen equipped for great meal preparation and home was clean with good sleeping accommodations. Overall the property felt safe and peaceful watching the deer graze through in the mornings.

    Cannot say enough good things about this cabin. Even after the devastation our NC mountains sustained most places are up and running again in this part of the mountains. While many people are still recovering from it all luckily this cabin was fortunate enough to not see any of the damage. Owner was in contact several times to make sure everything was good and Evan made sure we had enough wood to enjoy the fireplace while we were there.
