Summary: We booked this cabin in Banner Elk last summer after seeing it online and we were able to drive by it last year to double check its location. When we checked in things were as advertised. We spent many evening hours on the deck overlooking a valley which contains a Mill Pond and waterfalls, which serenaded us and a few guests who came to dinner. Our thirty-day stay turned out to be the perfect about of time. Our labrador appreciated the location almost as much as we did. It is right on the campus of Lees-McRae college. Many walks around the campus were special. The 4th of July parade in Banner Elk assembles on a street right by the cabin, so we were able to walk over to watch the parade. The cabin is well equipped, close to everything in Banner Elk, Boone and Blowing rock. We are thinking about going back next year.
