Laurel Cottage - Home w/ hot tub, fire pit, walk to Banner Elk, pets OK

House was clean and location was great. Would stay here again.

Had everything we needed. Was nice and clean.

Great stay!

We stayed four nights. We use the outside Jacuzzi on two occasions. The house was comfortable. We learned about raising the windows to get more cool air into the house and using the fans. Access to the property up a narrow Road to the top of the hill was a bit daunting at first. We even asked the neighbor how to find the house and he didn’t know it right away. The outside lighting could be a little better. We appreciate the ability to bring our pet dog with us.

The rental home was cozy but still had plenty of space. The location was perfect and walkable to downtown but still secluded enough at the end of the neighborhood that it had the nice woodsy feel. The house was clean and nicely decorated. I loved the front and back patio. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect cabin for a small group ski trip! Hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes.

The pictures of the house on VRBO were misleading vs. what it really looked like inside. When we arrived we took over 40 pic's of the interior and furniture. The living area furniture looked like it was picked off a junk pile...torn and worn, again we have pics. Numerous water spots on walls throughout the house, again we have pic's. Kitchen light had an exposed wire. An electrical outlet in the living area had a large opening atop of the plate. The majority of the bead board wasn't adhered to the crown molding...gaps throughout. In order to watch TV, which was app oriented, I would have had to input my own user login and password, which I wasn't willing to do. Even Live TV which we selected was difficult to watch, so we just turned it off and went to bed. We had scheduled our arrival on 6/3 with a departure on 6/6. We did arrive on 6/3 and left the next morning. We paid way way way too much based on the condition of the house and furniture, which we now consider a total loss. My wife and I have spent many days in the Banner Elk/Blowing Rock area and this is the worst rental ever, we've never encountered any problems over a 20+ years renting in the area. We love Banner Elk and Blowing Rock and this trip was ROCK BOTTOM!

This place is an easy 15 minutes to Beech Mountain. Our teens loved the hot tub! The only heaters in the home are space heaters and a ventless gas heater which we didn’t leave on due to the smell. The property manager was very quick to send someone out to light the heater. Fortunately it was not very cold during our stay. The walls were pretty thin so it was hard to have privacy. Otherwise it was clean and convenient. I would suggest upgrading on the heat though.

Great location and great place. Hosts were very nice and accommodating! We will absolutely be back.

We just spent the weekend in this beautiful mountain cabin. The listing describes everything perfectly. The home has very comfortable furniture. The beds are fabulous and the hot tub is a nice addition at the end of the day. We loved how private it was and the views from the deck while we relaxed was perfect. We had a family of 9 deer visit us everyday several times a day. The home is very close to downtown and all the great restaurants. We had a delicious lunch and Dinner at Sorrentos there’s also an arcade that was fun to play arcade games in. Hosts were very responsive anything I had a question . We will definitely look to book this cabin on our next trip back to BE.
