Wonderful accommodations. Love the covered balcony and the attention to detail in the furnishings and decorations. Woodwork is beautiful. And the bear theme is charming. Quiet. And is it accessible to town center. Look forward to staying here again.

Enjoyed it.
Great space. Convenient to many places, a tad on the noisy side because it is on a mountain above downtown Banner Elk, which not big, but has a good amount of traffic. You can hear also hear when there is live music outside at the arts center or the restaurants nearby.

Disappointing
Clean property but very loud from all the stomping upstairs; noise insulation was nonexistent. Shower was scalding hot and could not be adjusted; the twisty thing didn't do a thing. No coffee filters provided; we had to buy. Firewood had not been covered from rain; got soggy and could not be used; so no fire for us. None of the TV channels were working; WiFi connection sucked. Mattress was like a hammock; my lower back still hurts. Left a day early; didn't want to stay another night.

Perfect getaway
Property was the coziest little cabin within a condo. Even came with a Christmas tree & stockings! We loved the comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. So convenient to Banner Elk, can see the twinkling city lights. Close to Sugar, Beech & Grandfather mountains. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced in porch and flat ground to use. Definitely will be back especially for the beautiful snow and mountain views. Plenty of parking too.

Great Stay!
This property was amazing! Excellent condition & furnished very attractively. Close to downtown Banner Elk, although because it’s on a high point not really walkable. GPS didn’t get us to the property but was able to contact host & host met us at entrance to make sure we were able to find it. Will definitely stay here again.

beautiful cabin
We enjoyed the convenient location and rustic decor of the cabin; the handcrafted tables are beautiful. The parking space was especially welcome, with a lot of room to park and to safely turn around in. Everything inside was well appointed and well kept. The deck with its swing was a nice place to relax in the evening. The only detraction was the traffic noise.

Enjoyed our stay
My daughter and I enjoy antiquing and hiking on our annual NC mountain trip. I found this place on vrbo and thought I'd give it a try. The "5 min walk to downtown Banner Elk" is what attracted me. However, I couldn't imagine ever walking down the winding mountain road the property was on, it was not a safe walk with the blinding curves. We drove! Overall it was a beautiful property and Bearadise 1 was perfect size for 2.
