Communication with the host was excellent. This is one of the best equipped/stocked cabins we've stayed at. We had everything we could possibly need. Cabin was very clean as well. Check out process was super easy, very hotel-like. That is a big deal these days especially when other hosts send a 3 page check-out procedure which can be stressful at the end of your trip.

We stayed here for a long weekend to attend the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. It was an excellent location for this. The house is very well appointed, clean, and welcoming. The game room is phenomenal and adorable. Things to know: the King room downstairs is not private. You have to go through the room to get to the twin room and to the queen room. We didn't care, it worked fine for our family, but I can imagine scenarios where that would be unwelcome. Also be aware the steps to get up to the loft bedroom and the stairs to get to the basement bedrooms are narrow and steep. Again, it didn't affect us too much but it should be made aware. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great central location and great newly redone house.

We recently stayed at Bill & Brea's place near downtown Banner Elk. It was a perfect spot for our two families. We were able to walk downtown, to the park and to the 4th of July Parade. Our kids loved the game room and the porch was amazing for morning coffees and a glass of wine after the kids went down. The beds were really comfortable and overall had a great stay. We would definitely stay here again, Bill & Brea were extremely responsive and really helpful throughout the stay! Thanks again

House was great. Only part that was a little odd was the downstairs as to get to 2 of the bedrooms you had to walk through another bedroom. Nothing like saying a lack of privacy for one set. My guess is they turned what was a sitting area into another bedroom and made other rooms have to go through it. Was totally adequate for us as it was all family but if you are mixed families for a trip just know it may be awkward in the bottom level.
