Great Modern Cabin
This is our second time staying at Banner Bear, it's a great property. New construction with all the comforts of home and modern amenities like central heating/sir, smart TVs etc. Great layout, comfortable living area and bedrooms, nicely done bathrooms. The only downside was housekeeping. The floor wasn't very well vacuumed, there were pebbles, leafs, a croc charm etc. The bathrooms were also not very clean, particularly the toilets, one of the having a big urine stain on it despite having a “clean” seal. I ended up cleaning that myself. The bathtub in the second bedroom had brown stains in it and the toilet was also dirty in there. There is a knit ottoman in the living room that the stuffing pellets are spilling out of, that I mentioned to Blue Ridge Rentals the last time we stayed here, but it was still there, not repaired or replaced. Overall a great cabin, the most comfortable out of the 10+ cabins we've stayed in over the years in this area. The fact that it's new and modern made us so much more comfortable than an older property. Will stay again!

Great weekend getaway cabin
We had a great weekend getaway at Banner Bear. After renting several cabins over the years through various companies, Blue Ridge Rentals was by far the easiest to deal with, the most professional and the most informative. The property was clean, inviting and as advertised. We give it 5-Stars!

Banner Bear Loved it!!!
We stayed at Banner Bear and Loved it!!! It's a perfect place to stay near town and not far from both Sugar and Beech Mountain. The Cabin seems much larger than it is with high ceiling and the way it is tastefully decorated. It has all the amenities you need. The heated bathroom floors and fireplace in the living room are a bonus since it was cold during our stay. They even left a nice welcome gift, and had sleds for us to use since it snowed a little while we were there. One morning we woke up to deer feeding in the back yard, what a wonderful way to start the day. Any questions we had before and after our stay Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals responded immediately! We highly recommend using them for rentals the pricing is Great and Awesome customer service! We will definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Wonderful Time
The cabin was clean and beautiful. It was perfect for our family of five. We enjoyed the area and we thought it was in a great location for being able to enjoy the surrounding activities. We would definitely stay here again. We also brought our dog and he loved the fireplace. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

Banner Bear
We had a great time and would like to thank you and the owners for the amazing experience. The check-in/check-out was easy and well managed The instructions were clear and easy to follow The communication was great and did not require any follow-up The cabin was absolutely perfect - we could not ask for more - it had everything!!!! Clean Has all amenities available that you can think of (everything was pretty much brand new) Close to trails, ski resorts and attractions Plenty of places to eat close by We absolutely loved the propane fire pit - it was a big hit - in fact we decided to get one for our house after having so much fun using yours :) Thank you for everything

Best Location with Deer!
My husband, myself and our 2 long-hair chihuahuas loved the Banner Bear! The doggies were crated and had their own room and enjoyed the front porch that had it's own gate. The home is pet friendly, but doesn't smell like it! There are rugs, but mine were oblivious to them. There were plenty of kitchen items, pantry areas and starter paper products throughout the home. I'm a coffee drinker and loved the coffee area in the kitchen! The home itself is very nice, new and most importantly, has ample LEVEL parking. Great firepit on the front porch to sit and relax after a day of touring the area. We were very lucky to have a family of deer bask in the sunlight in the backyard and munch on some grass. The momma deer actually layed down and watched her young ones. A real treat. Hopefully other guests will be as lucky to see wildlife while they're visiting. We loved Banner Bear and felt like our home away from home. Banner Elk is a great area as well. Lots of do and see. We can't wait to come again and stay at Banner Bear!

Perfect and Relaxed Retreat
It was a wonderful time and our house was wonderful. It was easy to find and convenient to the Banner Elk area. Everything in the house felt very updated and comfortable. Perfect for a 2 couple retreat.

We have been using BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN RENTALS for 20+ years for our vacation rentals. They are always professional, accommodating, friendly and eager to make your vacation experience a pleasant one. We recently stayed at Banner Bear in Banner Elk and loved our stay. The home was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing time in the mountains. We also brought our Yorkie that thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful outdoors.

Perfect location
This getaway cabin is perfect for a couple. Location to downtown Banner Elk is perfect. Great year round from Summer fun, Fall leave season, to Winter ski season without worry of getting Fog or snowed in as a result of perfect location. I wish I owned it!!!

The "cabin" was beautifully furnished and stocked with everything you might need. It is a short drive to Banner Elk businesses and restaurants as well as nearby attractions. Would definitely rent again.
