Because of ages--82 and 92--we could not access lower floor. All else good except mast bath shower desperately needs safety rails.

Good the Soul

We had a glorious time on our July 4 trip to Banner Elk. The Boulder Sky home was by far the nicest and best equipped we have enjoyed for our family trip. We enjoyed our time on the property - the fire pit, the beautiful scenic views from the rear desk, the hot tub, and the surrounding area restaurants. One of the highlights was enjoying the Banner Elk July 4 parade, and the continued celebrations during the day. Crafts, walking in the park, gem mining for our grandchildren, enjoying the mountain roads, celebrating family, and experiencing the small town vibe. We will definitely be back to enjoy the home, and the peace and quiet of the mountains.

Cabin stay for race night!

Very beautiful house! Everything was laid out so perfect!!! We will be returning for sure! Our boys loved the down stairs game room and watching the deer out back! Very few issues...just a TV remote that wouldnt work...and a vent cover that was broken. Other than that...perfect!!!

Perfect place for families

We loved this place! Had 3 families all with elementary school age and under kids. Plenty of room for all of us! We felt close enough to kids to keep an eye on them but still enough room to have adult time. Was about 20 min to Beech ski. Glad we had 4wd with the snow and steep road to enter. Blue ridge rentals was great with a few housekeeping things we had to contact them about. Very responsive. I would say the master suite bed seemed very hard but everyone else thought beds were very comfy, including the 2 parents who slept in bunk bed room with kiddos ;) recommend adding pics of the downstairs bathroom to the listing. Highly recommend!

Nice Relaxing Getaway

Very secluded house. Very nice view, and fire pit worked perfectly. We sat around the fire and then also downstairs played some pool and watched some movies in the entertainment area.

Amazing MODERN Winter Wonderland!!

Boulder Sky is everything it claims to be, AND SO MUCH MORE!! There were 9 of us all together, 4 adults and 5 kids (2 families) ranging in age from 6-14, and to put it mildly, we had the time of our lives. The home/cabin itself is absolutely BREATHTAKING, not to mention beautifully decorated, and the hosts truly made sure we had every utensil/appliance we could have needed. They also made sure we had all the tools we needed to have fun, from the pool table and darts, to the collections of board games (even a good ole fashion deck of cards), to the hot tub! We were blessed to have had ample snowfall during our visit, and the property is so beautiful, I honestly don't know how to put it into words. We spent hours just watching the deer graze just beyond the back fence, looking for animal prints and deciphering their origin, building snowmen and making snow angels, making s'mores by the fire pit outside, and honestly having the time of our lives. The most amazing part? There are decks on all levels, and there simply aren't words to describe how beautiful the view of the mountains is. Which you can see from all decks, and almost every window in the home! The Cabin was immaculately clean, stocked with any and every kitchen utensil/appliance you could think of, a gas AND charcoal grill for cooking, and the beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept on while traveling. I can tell that the Hosts pulled out all the stops to ensure that their guests would feel right at home during their stay, and they hit the ball out of the park. I could feel the love in this home, from the décor, to the comfortable furniture and fuzzy blankets provided, and their beautiful family photos, and I absolutely recommend it to EVERYONE planning to stay in/near Banner Elk! We didn't go anywhere during our stay, but to get groceries. The home was just what we needed, and we made the most amazing forever memories. We will be back!
