Relaxing retreat

We so enjoyed our stay! There was plenty of room for families to have their space while still utilizing the comfortable group lounging areas and prepping food to enjoy for a crowd. Ample sleeping areas for multiple families or friend couples. The amenities are top notch - very roomy jacuzzi tub and nicely appointed shower and sauna area. The parking is roomy and well laid out. The mud room is perfect for coming in from a day of skiing to take of boots, snow jackets, and bibs. Plenty of storage and hanging space for outerwear!

Carolina Mountain Reunion

We rented North View Lodge and hosted a family reunion with 34 people over 11 days with family coming and going. NVL was a perfect choice for our group as the number of bedrooms (4) allowed for couples and the various other sleeping areas allowed for everyone else to have a comfortable bed. Adolescents enjoyed the lofts. Plenty of bathrooms. Kitchen appliances, grill and cookware were adequate. Bar is nice and allowed us to keep all drinks out of the kitchen and refrigerator. Outdoor fireplace was a nice gathering place in the evening. Would rent NVL again.

Fantastic Home

The home is beautiful and secluded with a lot of privacy. It's about 5-10 minutes from downtown Banner Elk but it seemed much further, which was what we wanted. The property manager communicated extremely well so checking in was very easy. If I had to complain about something, then it would be the cleanliness of certain areas. The deck has a rotted table sitting on it which could be a concern if you have kids. The floors had areas where dirt and dust had collected in corners but nothing too concerning. It just looked like no one had stayed there in a few weeks or the cleaners didn't do a very good job after the last guests. Overall, I would definitely stay in this house again and would highly recommend it. The jacuzzi and sauna were awesome and a nice touch for adults while the upstairs area is perfect for kids.

Loved the house but we assume due to the quick turn around (we checked in the same day someone checked out) the cleaning staff was unable to do a thorough cleaning job. Great location! Great weather and great view off the back deck!

very nice mountain getaway

We had 3 families, 10 people staying for 6 nights in our party. We could have easily had 4-6 more to stay without being crowded. We really enjoyed all of the spaces, the hot tub, the pool table, the movie room and the other common rooms were well used. The second kitchen came in very handy as some of the children have allergies and this accommodated them. We were able to separate as families for privacy but still stay together. If there were needs, the manager was fast and efficient to get help for us. Banner Elk itself was enjoyable and close to many places we saw---Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain and Blowing Rock. But there were all kinds of places that aren't as well known about along the roads.

Wonderful Home!

We had a really great time at this property! It was large enough for all of our family units to have a great time doing what they wanted to do. LOVED the hot tub area! We also really enjoyed the outside deck with large table - we spent many hours playing games as a family out there! The kitchen is lovely! A lot of time was spent in the movie theatre room playing video games on the large screen. The table in the kitchen was big enough to fit us all. We saw deer in the back yard, loved being in nature. We did some day trips to Boone, the local winery and hiking! Wonderful trip, wonderful home!

Great Spot for a Wedding Wekend!

We housed family and all of the groomsmen for our sons wedding. It was the perfect set up! The groomsmen had the whole upstairs, bar, den, hot tub area and the parents and grandparents took the two rooms over by the kitchen. It all worked amazingly well!

Not what we expected

Very disappointed with this rental property. We arrived to trash on front porch, dog poop on back deck, burnt newspaper in fireplace and marshmallows residue on screwers. Problems with the temperature upstairs being hot, the hot tube not working and being dirty. There was around the property and on the deck. One pool stick had a usable tip. This property is very convenient to all the attractions but multiple issues need to be addressed.

Wonderful home

Loved it!! Perfect setup for our big family! Clean and stocked well with everything we needed! Love the pool table, all the games, hot tub and sauna! Beautiful views! The road up to the house was a little tough when it snowed but we put salt on it and were able to get down ok! Other than that, it was fabulous 😊😊

Wonderful and Peaceful Stay

This was the Perfect Cabin for a large group! We had a group of 14 and everything was wonderful! Very spacious, different areas for you to do your own thing. Pool Table was a joy for everyone especially the men, Movie Theater was great and the Hot Tub was a blessing for us women and the Sauna was the tip of the iceberg! We are definitely making this our annually getaway :)

We had a wonderful time here. It was a bit dirty, but nothing we couldn't just clean up ourselves. The grill had not been cleaned and there was food all over it. The kitchen cabinets had dried food on them. And the kitchen trash can had dried food all over the outside. Other than that, we enjoyed the home very much and will definitely stay there again. Thanks so much :)

OK, should be better (cleaner)

Excellent quiet location, wonderful views, and convenient to great hiking trails, rivers, scenic drives, local sites of interest, and more. Reasonably updated house that easily accommodated my family of 14 (8 adults ages 20-80, 6 children ages 3-17) for five nights at a fair rental rate. Easy reservation process with accurate photos and clear instructions for access and the stay in general. Alongside those positives were some disappointing negatives. The house was generally NOT clean. The small yoga/exercise room was filthy and not suitable for use. The furniture had food and food wrappers under and between the cushions. The loft space had Goldfish crackers on the floor. The wood floors in the main living areas turned our bare feet black. The dishwasher contained dishes that may not have been washed. The throw blankets and pillows looked and smelled questionable. The bath mat in the bathroom of the upstairs bedroom nearest the top of the stairs appeared dingy/dirty. Thankfully the bed linens and bathrooms (toilets and showers) were otherwise reasonably clean. For the $295 cleaning fee I paid I expected a far cleaner house. I honestly believe I deserve at least a partial, if not full, refund. Overall, my family and I were moderately satisfied with our stay once we got used to the conditions and began enjoying the surroundings we came to experience. I'm not sure whether I or we would recommend the place to others unless there was some assurance the place would be 100% clean. I truly don't like to sound mostly negative but cleanliness is one of the most important aspects of a vacation rental to me and my family, even more so during these ever-changing days of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic.

Would have been a 5 star all day but had issues with cleanliness, stopped drain, not enough towels, 1 dart, 1 usable pool Que and Wifi was a struggle. We were given a $500 credit and I appreciate that. Staff was courteous and tried to satisfy all of our request. Thanks guys.

Beautiful place! Great views and very convenient to many restaurants, attractions, and outdoor activities. The house layout was a little strange and some of the bathrooms are very small, but those were very minor issues.
