Great weekend get away

We had a great weekend vacation at the Potato house. It was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. The wifi was a little quirky but it did work. The heated bathroom floors was a nice feature, the ladies really loved that. All in all it was a quiet restful weekend and we enjoyed the stay there, would definitely stay at the Potato House again.

Sweet and cozy and at one with nature

So happy with this choice (I had saved about 14 options), it was just delightful for two people. Quiet, comfortable, nice deck with a lovely view. Our first day was rainy and we were still treated to sitting on the covered deck. Some time we’ll be back and walk the trails. I was sad to leave.

restful fall retreat

The Potato house is a charming but modern cabin with beautiful wood decor and decorative lighting The views are beautiful. The property manager was helpful and prompt with small issue of batteries for remote. The neighborhood is very quiet. It was a very restful stay.

Keep coming back

This is the third time my wife and I have stayed there the last two with friends. The house is perfect for a couple of couples and close to plenty of wonderful things to do. We have enjoyed all three of our trips there and plan to go back in the future. We recommend the house to anyone looking for a quiet peaceful beautiful vacation.

Banner Elk Heaven

This property had everything we could have wanted for our 4 day Anniversary getaway. Hiking out the back door, soaking in the hot tub or relaxing by the fire pit all made for a delightful time. The kitchen was well stocked and we made great meals on the grill. Thanks so much!

It is our happy place, otherwise we would not try and book it as far in advance as we can afford. Looking forward to the time that our spring trip can be expanded into two weeks. The Owners (and property manager)are absolutely the best.
