"What a place to celebrate my 80th birthday! We ate out only once, preferring to sit on the deck every breakfast and dinner time, watching clouds pass across the mountains and gorgeous sunsets. The house is warm and welcoming, and very comfortable. It is beautifully decorated as well. Banner Elk is a delightful little village with good restaurants as well. I highly recommend this property.
