Whispering Pines Retreat

First time using a VRBO and was extremely impressed with this property! Meticulously cleaned and fresh when we arrived. A lot of extras that we didn’t expect in the kitchen/bathrooms, such as dish soap, aluminum foil, plastic sandwich baggies and bath soaps. We appreciated the very quiet neighborhood and the walking distance to town and Lees McRae College. Will definitely stay again!

Everything was great. The bath towels did not smell clean. Maybe someone didn’t use detergent.? Otherwise, I would come back next time.

Perfect home for our stay in Banner Elk!!!!

It was an amazing stay. We enjoyed Whispering Pines so much. It was a great location and we walked to lunch and breakfast a number of times. It was clean and maintained. We loved to picnic on the back deck. Our 3 rd night the power went out all over town and a power surge blew out our TV Router. But Allison got the cable/ internet folks on it!! They came out and replaced it with a new one! . We would love to stay here again next winter 🥰🥰

This was one the the most relaxing and enjoyable stay we have had in many years

This is a great townhouse right in the town of Banner Elk. Three large bedrooms with very comfortable beds, fully furnished kitchen, two balconies to sit out on and enjoy your morning coffee and a fireplace. It has all the amenities one could ask for. We enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace after a day of skiing. We came for a quick ski trip and this is just a few minutes drive to sugar mountain. The hosts were great with communication and super nice and helpful. We had something come up the day we were to arrive that caused a delay, and they were very accommodating to shift the days to allow us to still stay the same amount of days. They also let us checkout a little later to make sure the roads were safe and free of ice.We will definitely loom to rent this place for our next trip to Banner Elk.

This place was lovely, well equipped, very clean, comfortable and within walking distance to several restaurants and businesses.The host was prompt, professional and helpful in replying to every question we had. Highly recommend!

The townhouse was very nice. Huge bedrooms, lots of space. The

Everything was wonderful

The property was just as it appeared on the website. It was clean, very comfortable, and all instructions were very clear. Loved the location as it was so close to downtown Banner Elk. We will definitely stay there again.

Cleanliness

Overall the stay was very nice. The kitchen was great. Dining area was nice. The living room was very nice with a big fireplace and TV. Laundry room was very good. The owners left a very comprehensive guide to the home with all of the instructions for everything very well defined. The balconies had a good view of the mountains but also overlooked the back of a business and there was a good bit of road noise to overcome. The upper floor bedrooms were hard to keep comfortably cool. Probably better in winter.

Great location. Very clean. Alyson was very responsive and communicated extremely well.

This home is wonderful! A fast favorite! Close to everything, we were able to walk to restaurants and to LMC campus. The hosts were excellent communicators and gave us detailed information about the home and the area. The home is comfortable and has everything you could need. We had our dog and he loved the balconies. We took him on a long walk around the campus. We will always seek this home when visiting.

Very nice homey decor and great conveniences (the iron and steamer were life savers to prepare our clothes for a wedding). Walking distance to the shops in Baner Elk.

Beautiful home in a quaint, beautiful town. We enjoyed our stay. The home was very comfortable and had lots of room. The owners were very friendly. We would stay again.

The home is beautiful. It was well maintained, clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the detailed book provided by the hosts that explained how everthing works and provided suggestions for local attrations and restaurants. The location is great and you can walk to so much downtown. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Great house in fantastic location for walking around Banner Elk. Clean, well stocked. Hosts were attentive and responsive. Highly recommend.

Check-in and kitchen facilities were good. Coffee was excellent.

Great location. Nice condo!

The accommodations were wonderful. The owner was well-organized with the information, and everything was well-stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed staying here, the walk to town was so easy and it was VERY clean!

Great location for our needs

We had a girls trip to see a concert at Beech Mountain. Great walkable location to downtown Banner Elk. Easy 20-30 minute drive to lots of other locations. Super quick to Beech. House was very clean and spacious bedrooms. Nice balcony on the back for morning coffee.

This was a great stay for my family. The property does appear better in person. We were in town for a wedding. The property did have essential items needed such as a steamer for our dresses. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the fire place. The property manager was great with communication. Great location (close to restaurants). We would definitely stay again in the future.

Plenty of space, clean and 2 min walk to Lees-McRae campus and downtown Banner Elk. Owners sent helpful info regarding the property and surrounding area ahead of check-in. Plan to stay here again when visiting.

This property was perfect for our weekend getaway with our family! The home was cozy, clean, and had some great amenities. In addition, the location was amazing! Everything was walking distance for us in Banner Elk’s charming downtown area. There was even a level 2 EV charger conveniently located around the corner. We plugged in, walked home, and picked up our car at 100% charge the following morning for our departure. Sugar Mountain was a hop skip and a jump away. It really felt like home away from home after an exhausting day of hitting the slopes. Our hosts, Alyson and Eric, were wonderful, too! There was great communication and their guide book to Banner Elk and other pertinent information to our stay was thorough and helpful. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay! The location was perfect for enjoying the mountains and riding over to Boone. The house was beautiful and clean! Would love to stay there again.

This lovely little home perfectly place between two ski resorts in a cute little town with great local cuisine was perfect for our annual ski/birthday weekend. We enjoyed every moment.

Very clean, very nice. Would recommend and would stay again

Location was great!! House was perfect for our quick family weekend get away. Host was very responsive and great to work with. Would definitely stay again

The townhouse is even better in person! Spacious bedrooms, very nice kitchen, very comfortable home away from home. You can walk to several taverns and wonderful restaurants!

Beautiful home. It was everything we needed and more This was beyond my expectations. It was a 6 minute walk to Lees-McRae campus. Hope to stay again.

This townhouse was perfectly situated steps away from downtown Banner Elk and Lees-McRae College. The fireplace in the living was an extra bonus as it was easy to use and kept us cozy in the evening while playing card games. It was nice to be able to pop out on the back porches to breathe in the mountain air and feel ‘mountainy’ while not having to drive to a mountain house on windy roads 20 minutes away. We will be back, thanks again!

The townhome was just perfect for my husband and myself and our pups! They loved the porches, dog park across the street, and walks around the neighborhood. As dog owners we loved the washable rugs and LVP throughout the house making it a worry-free environment for us! I loved communicating with Alyson. She was so helpful with recommendations ! Definitely would stay here again!
