Welcome to Laurel Creek Lodge, your new favorite mountain getaway spot!

Enter the home with just a few steps on the beautifully maintained rock path from the parking area. Inside you'll immediately feel at home in the mountains due to the tasteful decor, huge wall of windows, and vaulted ceilings. Relax in leather furniture around the fireplace and catch your favorite shows, and the folks preparing meals don't have to miss out on the conversation thanks to the open layout! The kitchen offers beautiful granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a live edge wooden bar, and several stools, and the dining table seats 6.

Downstairs is an amazing entertainment room that's sure to be a hit with all ages! Play countless games of pool, watch all your favorite movies, and have fun. There is also a full bath on this level. Step outside to the firepit just outside the house, or enjoy smores in the second firepit down by the creek! Oh yes, the creek at the bottom of the hill is guaranteed to be a favorite of everyone in your group, with its peaceful sounds and splashing fun. And just down the street is the neighborhood catch & release fishing pond.

Time for bed Laurel Creek Lodge offers 4 bedrooms. On the main level you'll find a King master bedroom with attached bathroom, as well as a Queen bedroom with a second nearby bathroom. Upstairs is a loft area and on either side of the loft you'll find a bedroom with two twin beds. Dual zones for the main level and the upper level allow you to all stay comfortable in any weather.

On the main level deck, have a seat in any of the many selections of outdoor furniture and relax in the peaceful woods. During the warmer months you're sure to hear lots of bird songs. You might even spot a squirrel or a deer in the trees! On the lower level patio, relax and enjoy the brand new (fall 2021) Bullfrog Spas hot tub!

Perfectly located between Valle Crucis and Banner Elk, just ten minutes from downtown Banner Elk, Laurel Creek Lodge will be your family's new favorite getaway for years to come!

    Clean and comfy. Starter kits provided for everything. Slept 8 comfortably. Great yard for the dog to run. Hot tub was a great finish to a day of skiing. Both mountains less than 30 min away. May only be a few miles but the windy roads stretch it. Roads plowed except for the last 50 yards before we needed the 4wheel. Great stay.

    Everything was just as it showed in the photos on VRBO. We had a magnificent stay at Laurel Creek. It was quiet, relaxing, and cool. The paths were not as prominent as the photos but I'm sure that was due to Hurricane Helene. The owners were very communicative and helpful. The area was beautiful and the temperatures fantastic for us Floridians (High 77 and low 60) during July. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

    The home was beautiful and in a perfect location. We did have a few minor issues with a smoke alarm and the heating unit but the response time from the property manager was great! They took care of the situations and quickly as possible. Would definitely stay again.

    This is a perfect home for two families with kids. They had a shovel, so we were able to shovel the driveway to get out. You need to have 4w Drive to get up the hill. It fits 2 vehicles easily with snow, but I’d be hesitant of parking more if there is ice. The one side of the house seemed to get hotter than the other side. There were plenty of towels and things for the kids to do in the house and near by. A toaster and microwave were broken and I let the management company know and were responsive. We’d consider staying here again if they wash the top comforters and cleaned the house better.

    What a great place to get away from it all! House was very comfortable and well equipped. Perfect mix between being away from it all/off the grid and yet still close to downtown banner elk for any essentials or a meal out. Would definitely Recommend!

    This is a wonderful property for families with children. My grandkids loved playing in the creek, hanging out in the hot tub, playing the games that were provided....that's just to name a few of the things they enjoyed. The management team was extremely quick in addressing any needs or concerns that we had during our stay. We loved every minute of our vacation.

    We so enjoyed staying here with our family of four for fall break. House is close to many family friendly adventures. We loved the creek and the neighborhood pond! GPS got us there just fine.

    Very nice, well appointed home with access to creek. The location is very private but not secluded. Had a small electrical issue when we arrived but the manager took care of it promptly. I would definitely stay here again.
