Family-friendly holiday rentals in Banner Elk

Mitzi cabin is absolutely perfect! My husband and I enjoyed every minute! We didn’t want to leave. The cabin is so beautiful and with the string lights around the porch and creek it was the perfect 20th anniversary trip! We throughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and serene area.. If you are considering booking DO IT! You wont regret it.. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

If you are looking for quiet, peaceful surroundings, this is your place! Beautiful chalet with lots of room to make wonderful memories with your family. Great host with excellent communication!

Excellent space to check out if you want to get outdoors. The location is by the river as well!

Even though it was a short stay for us, I can’t say enough positive things about our experience. Simon’s hospitality was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Beautiful location beside the River to enjoy from the front porch. Very pleased with the accommodations. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. Thank you again Simon!

The house was exactly as described in the listing. It was perfect for my family of four. We enjoyed the air hockey table and hot tub downstairs. The home was clean and quiet. The location was close to Blowing Rock, Boone, and the parkway. We were able to cook several meals with the kitchen utensils and appliances available. And the gas grill also came in handy. Gail prepared us for arrival and was very friendly and responded quickly to my questions. I highly recommend this home and will hopefully be back in the future!

We loved everything about the place and our stay was perfect. We highly recommend it to anyone. Greg was very excellent at communicating.

What a perfect name for this home - Cozy Cabin was cozy indeed! This home had everything we needed for two families with small kids and a dog. The location was great and we loved spending time on the back deck. Such a peaceful setting and a great location with proximity to Boone and Blowing Rock. The hosts were super responsive and left great info and recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area. We didn’t want to leave but are already looking forward to our next stay here!

My husband and I stayed for a month at the house and absolutely loved it. It was peaceful and beautiful with the music of a rushing streamf filling the house everyday when we opened up the French doors. It was refreshing to see that the house actually matched all of the photos and the amenities that were listed. It was great to have a grocery store and a restaurant within 15 minutes of the house. we loved it so much. we're going to come back again next year.

We had a great stay at the Plumtree Cabin, it was nice to journey through the mountains and find ourselves in a private Cabin next to a farm. We were also welcomed by a family of 7 deer each night of our stay. Very affordable and comfortable cabin. Will definitely keep in mind for future travels.

Richard’s cozy cabin in fleetwood was a very good value for our 2 seniors + pet party. The cabin has a lot of outdoor space with a gazebo in front, a deck by the front door and a new beautiful covered deck with gas fire pit off the back door through the bedroom. We very much appreciated the $0 pet fee for our 4-legged friend. And our compliments to housekeeping, we do not take that for granted. Comfortable bed, kitchen is tight but well equipped and stocked with essentials. An advisory for seniors with a dog, the walks will be up and down some steep hilly terrain; consult your cardiologist.

We have rented homes on Watauga 15+ times and this so far has been our favorite. It’s very obvious how well the home and outside is cared for. The patio, furniture, and dock are all so clean. I have found that a lot of places lack that part. It was so nice to be able to paddleboard and kayak without paying extra. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. I highly recommend this house and plan to return for future visits if it’s available!

We were 100% happy with our stay. The location was 45 minutes away from App State (including traffic). We did not venture out other than graduation venues. We enjoyed the screened porch for cards, the fire pit was perfect for toasting a few marshmallows (grand children enjoyed). Prior to arrival, I was initially concerned that our full pans of food might not fit in refrigerator but to my surprise it was a top refrigerator with double wide shelves (freezer at the bottom). During our stay there had been a 9 hour power outage (apparently scheduled transformer maintenance) and we were happy that the loss of power did not affect running water. That was a plus because we had a 9am graduation and still managed a hot shower. There were plenty of games in closet, plenty of towels, garbage bags, toilet paper, soaps, seasonings, pots, pans, utensils- etc…. You name it, it was probably there, with the exception of a portable crib (which we brought our own). Best of all - price!!! Very affordable

We really enjoyed our stay and would like to stay there in the future. The house and grounds were very nice. Everything was very clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked well with pots, pans, utensils and dishes. We appreciated having a gas stove to cook on (many places have electric) and cast iron cookware to cook with! The covered porch with the gas fire was very nice too! Thanks for having us!

The cabin is beautiful and spacious. We loved the peaceful feeling both inside and out. The jetted tub was a great feature and there was both a gas and charcoal grill available for us. We loved sitting out on the sliders on the deck and the swing around the fire pit. Hopefully it is available the next time we come visit our daughter.

We loved the location near downtown blowing rock but also great views of the mountains. Very clean and well kept. Had everything we needed.

This place was just what the Dr. ordered. We visited the area for a long weekend to get in some hiking and visit Johnson City and ETSU. This was by far the best "pet friendly" rental we have ever stayed at. The fenced in dog run was awesome for our two dogs and so convenient to the master suite. The rental itself was so clean you wouldn't have even thought it allowed pets. The 3br/2bth set up was perfect for our family of 4 (inc. 2 teenagers). The best part about this place is the rushing creek/little river right in front of the house. Morning coffee just feels elevated sitting next to the water. There is a great waterfall hike just 10min from the house (Laurel Falls). Make sure you stop by the Appalachian Coffee Cupboard afterwards for a coffee shake. All in all, if either of our kids attends ETSU, this will be our permanent basecamp when visiting.

Very comfortable lots of space very relaxing would love to stay again

I had a great month long early spring stay at this mountainside studio condo with beautiful mountain and valley views. The unit was clean, comfortable, relaxing, and was perfect for my very simple needs. There are many on site and nearby (non-ski season) mountain hiking trails and quiet neighborhood road walking routes. I appreciated having access to the heated indoor pool and fitness room in the community clubhouse. Overall, a wonderful spot for anyone looking to enjoy the mountains!

This is our second stay at Nicole's place. Five-star accommodations - squeaky clean, super comfortable beds, and we appreciate all the extra amenities (coffee, snacks, spices, etc.). The deck is the perfect place for a morning coffee or evening meal. Can't beat the location as you can walk to town, the outlet mall, and the trails at Cone Manor Park.

perfect place to stay with the family for skiing at sugar mountain. it's basically right across the street.

What a great place! Also the host was very kind and great communication! Very nice place and only 10 minutes from Sugar Mountain. Wonderful amenities including pool, hot tub, sauna, library, shop, workout room etc etc. Only (potential) issue which is no fault of the owners is that this is a large 10 story condo complex. On busy days, especially around the weekend it can get very busy during check in and check out and you have to park outside of the guard shack and get shuttled back to the condo. Again, we didn’t really have much of a hang up but others did-just something to keep in mind. Fantastic place, and well equipped! Thank you again!

We enjoyed our stay at Abril and Christophers place. Location was great for access to the mountain biking trails.

Great home to stay in with family in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Property was very comfortable and clean. We would book again.

Whitney & Jay were great hosts—responsive and helpful when we had questions. The space was just as shown/described in the listing. My family of four enjoyed our stay during spring break and our first time skiing during Sugar Mountain’s end-of-season March Madness. We made such wonderful memories here. Be sure to enjoy the most stunning sunrises and sunsets from the balcony.
