Every detail felt thoughtfully handled, making the entire stay seamless and stress-free.The location was ideal, with convenient access to nearby ski resorts while still feeling private and serene.

Stayed Aug 27, 2023We loved our stay in this rustic yet modern cabin. My family had a wonderful weekend getaway here and enjoyed the property so much, we loved the river right on the property and the hot tub overlooking it. That was the highlight for us :) The kids loved the bunk beds and the master bedroom is so spacious, easily fit the pack and play for our 2 year old. Thanks for letting us stay in your cabin, we hope to come back!

Stayed Jul 5, 2023Our stay was just so relaxing. We loved the cabin and we loved being outside on the creek/river and sitting by the fire pit. The location makes it very easy to get to different mountain attractions. So glad we had the chance to stay here. Thank you!

Stayed Apr 20, 2023We were four old college roommates meeting up for a girls weekend. This Old River Cabin was the perfect place for us to relax and reconnect. Loved the mix of the rustic old cabin and modern furnishings. The back porch was a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine and listen to water in the little river. Beds were all really comfortable. Location put us 15-30 minutes from everything we wanted to do: Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock/Boone, wineries/ breweries and restaurants. Veronica was a fabulous host. She was always quick to respond to any questions. If you are looking for a place to stay in Banner Elk that is unique and not your typical basic mountain cabin, you will love this place!

Stayed Mar 30, 2023We absolutely loved staying at Old River Cabin in Banner Elk. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. Every little detail was thought of from wonderful cooking spices to the most luxurious bedding. We also greatly appreciated the use of non toxic care products in the kitchen and bathrooms. The hot tub and surrounding river were just icing on the cake! This was truly a magical getaway for us! We can’t wait to return:)
