Luxury Lodge | Unmatched Long Range Views, Hot Tub, Game Rm, Fire Pit

We had an amazing experience here! The house was fully equipped with everything you might need during your stay. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The amenities were great and kept our group of 10 (varying age groups) entertained the whole weekend. The host was very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. We would 100% stay there again!

We had such a wonderful time at The Elk Lodge during our 8 day stay. It was the 'perfect formula' for us, our adult children and young grandchildren, (ages 4-9).Located at the top of a mountain, the description given was very accurate. I just can't say enough about the hosts! They deserve an A in hospitality, design, decor, and a very well kept home, grounds, and responded immediately to any concerns, which were minimal and quickly resolved. Even though the home was located in a neighborhood, it was well secluded with plenty of space and privacy. We felt very safe, and enjoyed walks around the neighborhood. One of our favorite perks was the large, mowed field out back. Our grandchildren had plenty of open space to run and play, a rare find on top of a mountain. We watched wild turkey, deer, bunnies, hummingbirds and even a beaver in our backyard!Layered, mountain views were gorgeous, house was well stocked and very clean. We loved the game table, huge fire pit and hot tub. WIFi reception was excellent, as was cell service. The location was great, we easily traveled to Banner Elk, Black Mountain and Boone, roads were open as well as venues and businesses. . And the guest house, we didn't need it but it was included and a mini addition of the main house, an added extra! Rent it, we would love to rent it again!

My husband and I and our families arranged a get together at this cabin to celebrate our marriage (We got married at the courthouse with just our parents a few months earlier) Our families had not spent much time together due to living far away from each other, so this was a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and enjoy time together. Everyone loved it, and appreciated that they had room to spread out and have their own space when we were not all hanging out together in the kitchen/living room area or game room. The kids loved frolicking in the yard, and they even flew kites outside one day when the wind was right for it. Overall, it was a wonderful time and the perfect place for us! Would highly recommend!!!

Amazing place and the snow was a special treat!

Great place to stay! Top of the mountain with amazing views! Few winding roads to get to the top! 15 minutes from Sugar Mountain Ski resort! Property was amazing! Plenty of space for 10 people. House is stocked with everything you need! Would definitely stay again!

Great house for families to have fun after a day of skiing. Beautiful views, wonderful kitchen, game room for kids, and everything in between.

We got about 9 inches of snow while staying at this house. It was magical! We got together with old friends from all over to go skiing at Beech Mountain (about 20 min drive). Everyone had enough space and the kitchen and seating areas were big enough to handle all the bodies. We had a small issue upon arrival in which the host sent someone out immediately. You will definitely need 4 wheel drive to access the property and could get dangerous traveling in snow. The neighborhood roads tended to get plowed by afternoon, but you are at the top of a mountain so best to take precautions. Kitchen was well stocked, beds and pillows were nice. Game room was fun as multiple games could be played at once. Nice hill for sledding. We had our skis delivered using a local company and they were able to access it easily. Would recommend to anyone and would book again!

We were supposed to come up to Banner Elk the day hurricane Helene hit, so didn’t actually get there. The rating is for the communication. The host called several times the day before and the day of with updates, ultimately telling us we wouldn’t be able to come up since the town was actually unable to get to due to road closures. He saved us trying to get there and potentially being in life threatening danger by trying. Hoping to go up again after rebuilding.

This property is an excellent value. Since you basically have three separate spaces its like getting three homes in one. The beds are extremely comfortable and the master upstairshas an adjustable base that makes it even better. The kitchen has everything you would need and the coffee bar is a perfect touch. The house sits on one of the highest points so the views are amazing. The grassy area below the main house hosted turkeys deer and rabbits. They were fun to watch. The guest house has great privacy and offers respit feom the rest of the group when needed. The game room has a huge TV for sports games or movine night. You will not be disappointed. JimCarrie

This home away from home was lovely and just what our family needed for a long weekend getaway. It was close to town/restaurants, but still had a great view and so much to entertain guests from age 5 to 73! We will definitely come back to visit!
