Luxury Lodge w/Views, Hot Tub, Game Rm, Fire Pit

There is no better feeling than hearing the sounds of nature, smelling the forest as it glistens under the moon, and gazing at the majestic mountain views in seclusion and privacy...while the children are playing in the expansive game room as you deepen your state of relaxation.

It's the beautiful mountain views on an expansive 2 acres surrounded by elk that give this Lodge its name (The Elk Lodge); it's the freedom of being in constant serenity that gives it its spirit.

The Elk Lodge is a 6 bedroom 5.5 bath Lodge situated at the top of a mountain on 2 acres with majestic long-range views. The Lodge is FULLY LOADED with everything you could possibly need, from cookie sheets and pizza cutters in the fully stocked kitchen to the Coffee Bar and Huge Game and Movie Room.

The MAIN HOUSE is equipped with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a sunroom, basement, laundry room, loft, and family room.

BEDROOM 1: King-sized bed located on the main level
BEDROOM 2: King-sized bed located on the upper level with en suite
BEDROOM 3: Two twin over twin bunk beds (4 twins)
BEDROOM 4: One twin over a full bunk bed

The BASEMENT contains another TV/Lounging area with a 55" SmartTV, laundry room, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom.

There is also a Private TWO BEDROOM GUEST HOUSE with a full kitchen, laundry, two en suites, and amazing views above the garage.

BEDROOM 1: Queen sized bed with full en suite
BEDROOM 2: Two twin beds with full ensuite
FAMILY ROOM: Queen sized pull out sofa

GAME ROOM - We have converted the three-car garage into a massive game room with a 70" SmartTV, leather couches, pool table, shuffleboard, poker/game table, Pacman/Galaga and NBA Jam arcade games, and a 1/2 bathroom, all with full HVAC to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

KITCHEN - The kitchen in the main house is fully stocked with everything Grandma needs to make Thanksgiving dinner and then some, from the Wolf stove to the custom refrigerator and Coffee Bar.

SUNROOM - The perfect place to sit back, relax and take in the majestic mountain views while sipping a cup of Joe from the Coffee Bar as the sun rises.

HOT TUB - A brand new six-person hot tub is located just outside the basement door on the back stone patio.

FIREPIT - 10 seat fire pit is located at the bottom of the grand stone walkway, surrounded by Adirondack chairs. The perfect way to cap off a long day on the slopes or in the Elk River fly fishing.

Not a stay
We were supposed to come up to Banner Elk the day hurricane Helene hit, so didn’t actually get there. The rating is for the communication. The host called several times the day before and the day of with updates, ultimately telling us we wouldn’t be able to come up since the town was actually unable to get to due to road closures. He saved us trying to get there and potentially being in life threatening danger by trying. Hoping to go up again after rebuilding.

Amazing Mountain Property
This property is an excellent value. Since you basically have three separate spaces its like getting three homes in one. The beds are extremely comfortable and the master upstairshas an adjustable base that makes it even better. The kitchen has everything you would need and the coffee bar is a perfect touch. The house sits on one of the highest points so the views are amazing. The grassy area below the main house hosted turkeys deer and rabbits. They were fun to watch. The guest house has great privacy and offers respit feom the rest of the group when needed. The game room has a huge TV for sports games or movine night. You will not be disappointed. JimCarrie

Lovely retreat
This home away from home was lovely and just what our family needed for a long weekend getaway. It was close to town/restaurants, but still had a great view and so much to entertain guests from age 5 to 73! We will definitely come back to visit!

Beautiful house in a great location. Linens were fresh and luxurious. The house was very clean when we arrived, and the host was super responsive and friendly throughout our stay. We had a wonderful visit at this beautiful mountain home, and we will certainly stay again when we are back in the area. 5 stars all around; highly recommend!

The location is beautiful, house was very nice and comfortable. There seemed to be several lights burned out on the back porch, but other than that it was perfect. Definitely recommended.

Great Vacation Home! Highly Recommend!
Great for a big group. Highlights included the fire pit, hot tub, game room. Host was easy to reach and responsive and friendly. Beautiful views and privacy. We appreciated having a separate "guest house" and two master bedrooms, plenty of parking, and lots of different comfy rooms to hang out in. Wonderful place to relax and retreat.

Home away from home.
We stayed with family over spring break. The place lived up to the pictures and description. Some takeaways: 1. The cabin (read: “really nice mountain house”) and adjacent game room/guest house were wonderful. Couldn’t have picked a better setup for our gathering. 2. Bill was a gracious host. Responsive through and through. All hosts would do well to emulate Bill. 3. Really close to downtown Banner Elk, which for its size has an amazing restaurant scene. When (not if) we return to Banner Elk, we will stay at Bill’s place.

Truly a 5 Star Lodge in the Mountains
This property is truly a 5 star experience. You have all the privacy you want as you are the last home on top of the mountain overlooking mountain after mountain. The amenities inside the main house are superior to any place we have stayed before. Every room is beautiful! We stayed Thanksgiving week so I cooked a lot in the kitchen designed for a chef. We loved the coffee room to relax and start the day and watch the deer wander through. We made great use of the jacuzzi and the fire pit. The guest house is awesome and has 2 comfortable bedrooms/kitchen/living room. The game room is very cool and some family members would disappear all day using the pool table etc. If you want to stay in a private luxurious Lodge among the mountains this is the place!!!

Slice of Paradise
Some people find their peace and relaxation on the beach. For me, a great fire and a beautiful view are the ticket. This incredible home hit it out of the park. The hosts go above and beyond to provide an experience that I will recommend to everyone I know. 10/10. Incredible stay.

Private Mountaintop Getaway
We had a great stay at Bill & Brea's Elk Lodge! -Excellent communication from hosts -Awesome coffee bar & accessories -Lovely views and plenty of space for our two large families to spread out -Great bathroom amenities -Serene, private location - the property grounds are beautiful. ----Amazing fire pit (it's propane which is convenient, but no s'mores toasting!) -Huge game room was a hit with all the teens for gaming on the big screen tv, hanging out, and playing pool. -Super comfy sofas and beds! The only downsides of our visit were: -Dining table only seats 6 (4 more at the bar); it was difficult to have our party of 12 sit down to a meal together all at once. -Plenty of dishes and cutlery but a shortage of serving dishes, *large* mixing bowls, cookie sheets, and baking dishes...we finally found a wine opener in a drawer in the guest house. -The A/C freezes the basement level and the second level was hard to keep cool (windows and fans are available along with several blankets - so we made due) -The basement level has a strong odor (previous pets or moisture?) -Several of the light fixtures and fans were difficult to operate; the main level bathroom and kitchen were very dark. Overall we had a very nice stay, and upon further updates from the incredible hosts - we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Amazing place!
We had an exceptional stay at this property! The bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed, providing a restful retreat. The living room was spacious and inviting, perfect for relaxing evenings. The game room added an extra layer of entertainment, and the coffee station was a delightful touch for a morning boost. The highlight, though, was undoubtedly the breathtaking mountains view. Waking up to such scenery was a treat for the senses. The owners were incredibly helpful whenever we needed assistance, making our stay even more enjoyable. One tip for future guests: a 4-wheel drive is crucial, especially in winter, to navigate the surroundings seamlessly. Overall, a five-star experience that exceeded our expectations! We will definitely stay at this house again.
