Welcome to Highland Mist – you will be so impressed with the unique “top of the world” views in this custom Banner Elk home you will find it difficult to leave. This large lodge is located on a lofty hill with 180-degree views into North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. No matter the season you visit, the bucolic scene includes rolling hills, high mountain peaks, and deep valleys that will simply delight and help you unwind. Simply put, nature's bounty is your closest neighbor here in this special place.

This gorgeous, custom mountain cabin is certain to impress you, with its vast exposed beams, lofty ceilings, rustic trusses, and so many other elegant features and extra details especially designed for your comfort. From the moment you enter the door, you are inspired by its ambience of mountain style, complemented by the great room's cathedral ceiling and uniquely refined lodge decor.

You're our special guest here, so the great room warmly welcomes you, with plenty of fine leather furniture and over-stuffed seating, massive wood-burning stone fireplace, exposed logs, and large flat screen TV with DirecTV streaming services for live viewing. Cooking will be a pleasure for you, not a duty, in this elegant chefs' kitchen, complete with granite counters and large island with seating, and it includes all the modern implements for preparing delicious meals. Your group will gather to “break bread” and then stay to chat at the large wooden dining table with comfortable seating, lighted by the warm glow of the unique chandelier.

Most guests find themselves drawn outside to the spacious decks spanning the length of the lodge to view the mountains, an integral part of Highland Mist's attraction. Gather on the upholstered, comfortable outdoor seating around the outside stone-faced fireplace on the large covered deck and share quality time with friends and family while basking in the fire's glow. The large modern grill is the ideal spot for cooking tonight's feast, and you can even dine al fresco, mountain style at the outdoor dining table.

Ready to unwind Walk down the large hallway on the main level and find the spacious master bedroom, decorated with an outdoor theme and with large windows to wake up to the amazing view, or fall asleep with the stars. You will be delighted by the inviting king bed and private tiled bathroom with walk-in shower and separate tub.

No detail for your comfort has been spared in Highland Mist, with its fine furnishings, and many wonderful details. A loft with large windows to view the far away mountains provides plenty of comfortable seating , a perfect place to curl up with a good book. The two upstairs bedrooms both have their own full baths as well, with a king bed in one and two twins in the other.

The lower level family room will keep the fun coming with flat-screen TV and pool table. The fourth bedroom is also on this level, with handcrafted custom queen size log bed and there is also a queen sleeper sofa for the extra guest, and fourth full bath. Step outside and enjoy the deluxe hot tub with its picturesque views of the woods and multi-layered mountains, and the night's deep darkness here will tempt you to bask in the shine of the nearby stars. On summer evenings, gather around the firepit and tell tall tales while roasting hot dogs and making s'mores.

    We had a fantastic stay! All I can say is VIEWS VIEWS VIEWS were beautiful. As a VRBO owner I would only add—- kitchen utensils/appliances could be updated. Knives were extremely dull and crockpot didn’t work. (I would want to know as an owner) Did not affect our stay as we had a fantastic time.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Highland Mist. Amazing views from the expansive deck along with the cozy and comfortable cabin made this the perfect get away for family. We enjoyed summer adventures at Beech Mountain and Grandfather's Mountain along with delightful local dining and shopping. Blue Ridge Moutain Rentals was very responsive and provided great communication. Looking forward to visiting again!

    We stayed at Highland Mist for 5 days, and it was everything we were hoping for. The views were amazing. We were able to relax and enjoy each other's company. The winery at the bottom of the hill was lovely and we were able to experience some of the small towns nearby.

    Wonderful cabin to stay in with the family. Kids were able to sled on the front slope of the property, walk around in the woods behind the house, and have their own personal space. Fantastic views, very private, easy to access. Only downside was that the hot tub wasn’t working and we were unaware until we arrived that it was places out of order. Wished we had known as that’s a big thing for the kids. Could tell it was a rental property as some of the cabinet faces were falling off/off completely, or handles fallen off of dressers. Aside from those very small cosmetic issues and the hot tub, would rent and stay again.

We highly recommend this property if you want to build beautiful memories! Audrey

    We had the best time! The house was so clean and spacious! It was located beautifully high on the mountain, yet still convenient to town. We will definitely be back!

    This is our third year staying at this beautiful property, it feels secluded and removed from the hustle and bustle of life in the best way. Beautiful home and property, great for the family.
