Long Weekend with Friends
We loved our stay at Cardinals Nest. The house is beautiful and well maintained. Our party of 10 (five adults, and five kids ages 6-12) slept comfortably and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was well-stocked with sufficient pots, pans, utensils, etc. for making meals for a large group. Easy access to Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Hawks Nest. We were lucky enough to be there when the area got a good foot of snow and it was absolutely beautiful.

Great Rustic Cabin Getaway with Modern Conveniences!
This is a wonderful cabin with plenty of space and modern conveniences! The area is peaceful and quiet and you will enjoy the babbling brook below. The cabin has 3 separate deck areas and a recreational space downstairs. You are just 10 minutes from Banner Elk where you can find restaurants and shopping. I definitely recommend staying here if you are looking to visit the Banner Elk/Sugar mountain area!
