About this cabin rental
Welcome to Buena Vista!
Buena Vista is a newly-constructed, upscale mountain cabin set atop a private ridge near Banner Elk at an elevation of 4,200 feet. The cabin offers stunning long-range, layered year-round views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the numerous open-air decks and has amenities to keep the whole family entertained.
This home has an open floor plan, dual master bedrooms with private decks, hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, an induction cooktop, and above-and-below cabinet lighting.
The dining area can seat up to eight (8) people, with additional seating at the center island for two (2) more. Guests will enjoy an incredible view from the living room through the wall of windows. The living room features a newly installed natural stone, floor to ceiling, gas log fireplace, a wall-mounted HDTV, and a Home Max sound system.
Venture downstairs to the huge game room and movie area with a slate 9-foot pool table, games, and an entertainment system. The downstairs bedrooms also have HDTVs and a Nintendo Wii. The lower deck also features a jetted hot tub with overhead bistro lighting.
Fiber optic, high-speed internet means reliable internet service. All bedrooms and TVs also have Chromecasts installed so you can stream your favorite shows or movies.
The land around Buena Vista has marked and unmarked hiking and walking trails, and the 14-acre property is yours to explore. Although you may feel remote, Banner Elk is only four (4) miles from the cabin, Valle Crucis is only five (5) miles away, and Boone is less than half an hour. Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain are both within 10 miles. Grandfather Mountain and Linville Falls are also nearby.

Great location with a beautiful view. We had plenty of room.

The cabin has a lot of high-end touches but needs a touch-up. One couch has a hole in it and needs replacing, the kitchen is greatly under stocked on pots, pans, storage containers and cooking utensils (good ones). We own a beach rental property and understand how the property is depleted as the season progresses, so I would suggest the owners visit mid-season and replenish the stock. Also, it snowed and when we called the number given for property management to ask about having the road scraped, no one knew who to contact to get this done. We received no answer back from them as promised either. Also, the hot tub is not hot enough; and the soaker tub inside—the hot water heater will not fill it even one- third full. Cabin has a great view and location is excellent in that it is centrally located to many ski areas and restaurants. Overall, we had a good time, but I would choose a different cabin next time.

Only issue was there is an alarm that went off on Monday and Wednesday nights at 9. Sounded like the noise that goes off when you lock the front door. It would be good to know what that is.
Otherwise, it was fabulously beautiful and private.

Nice place as advertised. Carpet under table needs to be tacked down as it is a trip hazard. Also check batteries in TV remotes. Otherwise very nice.

The house is perfect in every way. The view is better than I could ever explain. The house has everything my wife and I needed for a very relaxing week. We were able to forget about normal life for a change. All the amenities are wonderful. We took enough food for the week and never left the house. There are instruction books for everything such as TV operation, hot tub operation, fireplace, etc. This was awesome and made it so easy. I have no negatives for this property. We are already going to book for later this year and again next year.

This spectacular cabin had incredible views in a private secluded setting. We hosted a Memorial Day family and birthday celebration and it was perfect! Communication with the rental company was great. Kitchen fully stocked, very clean, hot tub was perfect. Thank you for helping us create memories for a lifetime!

This was an overall excellent stay, there some quirks with the cabin that we found a little interesting like the trash situation, but overall no complaints with this cabin. It has a great layout, plenty to do, and an amazing view. We brought our dogs and they also loved the property! We had some delays in contacting on the day of check in, but this is likely due to the volume of business the properties owners had during this weekend. Aside from the slight delays the team was helpful and responsive. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and book this one while you can!

Ski weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Buena Vista, and it truly is a "good view"! 3 families, room for everyone. House was as advertised except the fireplace wouldn't work. In all fairness, we didn't speak with the management company about it so they didn't have an opportunity to "make it right". Kitchen and laundry both fully functional and plenty of room for multiple chefs! Beds were comfy and well made up. Management company personnel were friendly, it was just difficult to get in touch with them. Always a lengthy delay to speak with someone. You can leave a message, but it took quite some time to hear back from them. Kids (9-15) enjoyed the lower level as their own hangout and adults hung out upstairs - perfect!!! We'll certainly be back!

Beautiful home with amazing views
This home was wonderful! The rooms were great and the beds were cozy. They had so many snuggly blankets to keep warm. The appliances are high end and worked great. Very clean. The kids all enjoyed playing downstairs while the adults stayed upstairs. It was a great set up.
A couple things to note:
There was a slight cigarette smell in the upstairs King master room.
If you do not have four wheel drive in the winter get chains. We do have four wheel drive but our friends did not so we had to leave his vehicle elsewhere. And even with four wheel drive it was tricky.
Overall a beautiful spot that we have already recommended to people!

Just an amazing venue! Will book again! Wifi was great, many of us worked from the house! Close to many activities. It SNOWED all weekend. A few comments: wish the house had baking sheets but other than that all the necessities were present. We also wished the house provided sleds, snow shoes etc. The hill is great for sledding!

Great stay
The most idyllic view of the NC mountains. We had the good fortune of snowy weather. Although the house has the rustic feel of a cabin, we took advantage of the luxury home and setting. The pool table and video games prompted indoor fun, while the outdoors provided wonderful snow sledding conditions. We had a great time, hope to stay again soon.
