Mountain Weekend
We celebrated my husband’s 30th birthday with 12 of our friends (14 guests total) for a long weekend in Banner Elk. The house comfortably slept everyone with one couple on the pull out couch and another on the upstairs futon. The house was clean and provided the necessities like towels and kitchen equipment. The drive up the mountain was worth it when you arrived to the beautiful home. The spacious kitchen and large game room was perfect for our group that played board games, ping pong, and billiards all weekend! The drive into Banner Elk and to Sugar Mountain was short and easy allowing my husband and his friends to go skiing multiple days. Boone was also near by, giving us many options for leaving the house if we wanted! Our only dilemma we ran into was the trash policy. We were only able to leave 2 bags of trash on the property and had to take the rest with us (the hosts let us know that leaving the trash outside could attract bears). For us this was no issue since we all drove to the house and everyone was able to help with removing the trash. However, I could see this being difficult for anyone who may not have as much room in their cars or perhaps flew to the destination. Brooke and Red were such amazing hosts. They responded to my questions prior to our arrival and even when we were in the house. They left detailed instructions that were easy to follow and made the check out process simple. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone wanting a stay in Banner Elk.
