The house is spacious for a group of 6 adults to relax in the evening. It is clean, comfortably furnished and has a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of hot water. The only neighbors are Lees-McRae College and a house across the road. The back deck has a view of the mountains. On July evenings, we could watch fireflies and listen to the chimes of the college bell tower -- very relaxing after a busy day. We will return.

Nice property but would stay elsewhere next time as college, literally next door, made back porch anything but private. Some construction noise during the day and light pollution at night, compromising star gazing. Beds were very comfy and attic fan was really nice.

Enjoyed this cabin. Everything went smooth. Some confusion on the loft area that was listed when I booked but then removed and host wasn’t aware of it. Hot tub didn’t work but host responded quick and had it checked. Would definitely stay again!

Property was as listed and very clean upon arrival. Outdoor fireplace on the deck is a great addition & a very relaxing area to spend time with friends/family. Hot tub wasn’t working at the time, but the host responded to resolve issue very promptly. If we go back to the area, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great getaway location!

House was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of bathrooms and beds to not feel cramped. Would definitely stay again. House was perfectly located between sugar and beech mountain. Easy to get to everything we needed.

We had a fabulous time in Banner Elk! Hidden Gem is in a great location, and it took only minutes to get to the town. The house was clean and cozy, and we enjoyed a fire each night! The porch off of the master bedroom was incredible. We enjoyed playing darts and resting in the swing bed. The bars and restaurants were great and everyone was friendly! My friends and I would definitely stay here again!

Our family loved this house! The hot tub and outdoor areas were perfect. There is construction going on at the college that is pretty close to the house but didn’t impact us at all (only getting thru it to get to the house). Management company was easy to deal with and communication was a breeze.
