Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!

Krew’s Quarters-Lakefront Sleeps4 on South Holston
We enjoyed our stay! The space was very clean and the location was wonderful. The view from the deck was beautiful. Another plus is that we were able to pull our pontoon on the shore and leave it for the weekend. Kayla was a phenomenal host - very friendly, welcoming, helpful and responsive! Would recommend!

Central, Walkable, Stylish Apartment
We had a great stay with Jamie. The location is close to everything you’d want to experience in Boone. Jamie was proactive and sent access information and instructions ahead of time. Jamie checked in several times and was ready to answer any questions that popped up. We loved how cozy this spot felt. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
Great place for a visit to Sugar Mountain! I took my son and we had a blast. This place is really close to the mountain and everything g in Banner Elk! The place was very clean and had everything g we needed! I highly recommend!

Helton Creek Haven
It was very quaint, clean and comfortable place. The apartment was above the garage of the host's house. It was very private even though the building was technically connected. The host was very responsive, clear on the instructions, and friendly. This place was only 5 miles from Grayson Highland entrance. There are SO many things to do and places to go from there. I definitely recommend this place to stay if you are in the area for an adventure!!!!

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
We had a great stay!! Everything was just as described! Perfect distance to sugar and beech for skiing! We hope to be back soon!

Campside Cottage
Mariann was great, super nice. The place was really cute! Had everything you needed and more.. the bed was really comfy! My husband & I go away on a motorcycle, this time we were stuck in rain a few nights, so it was awesome having a washer & dryer right there as well! They have a nice little deck, was nice chilln out there in the am figuring on the days plan, or the rainy nights♡ A little recommendation Sur 81, breakfast and or dinner, you won't be disappointed! (we hit them up 3x's) Sisters Cafe & Gifts another great place! Mi Puerto also very good!

Luxury 4 Ensuites - close to Bike/Ski/Golf/Coaster
It was perfect for the number of people needing separate bedrooms with their own bathrooms. It was a charming place with all the amenities we needed. I would recommend it as a great place to stay.

Heron Hideout
Due to hurricane Helene we had to cancel the reservation but the owner was so understanding and helpful. We will book this place again for our next trip to the area.

Watauga Lake Home with Private Dock - 3bedrooms
This was a very comfortable home. Spacious and beautiful, and very clean, with gorgeous grounds. I loved all of the beautiful artwork on the walls! We were there for race weekend at Bristol, so we weren’t able to spend a lot of time just enjoying the property, but would love to come back one day for that. I would definitely recommend!

Lake Daze
This property was perfect for my family to enjoy our vacation by the lake while visiting family. loved every second of our stay.

Luxe '3 Bears Cabin' on Watauga Lake w/ Decks!
My stay at the lake house was nothing short of magical. Nestled on the edge of a tranquil lake, this property offers the perfect blend of nature and comfort. From the moment I arrived, the breathtaking views instantly put me at ease. Waking up each morning to the gentle sounds of nature and watching the still waters made for an incredibly peaceful experience. The house itself is beautifully maintained, with windows that frame the stunning scenery from almost every room. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the deck, relaxing with a book on the deck, or taking a stroll by the water, the sense of calm is unmatched. We had a wonderful drive to Wineries nearby, from peaceful hikes to kayaking, but I found myself content just soaking in the serenity of the lake. It’s a perfect retreat for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge. I highly recommend this lake house for those in search of peace, quiet, and a deep connection with nature.

River Rock Retreat Lake Views and Dock
We had a great time. Beautiful home and very peaceful atmosphere

Skipping Stones Getaway - Watauga Lake Dock & Hot
We had a truly wonderful stay at Skipping Stones Getaway with our family of five. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat—surrounded by beautiful views and the kind of quiet that instantly helps you unwind. Christie and Donaven have thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). From extra phone charging cables to those little items you might forget to pack, it was clear they’ve put a lot of care and attention into making guests feel at home. We spent our days out on the lake kayaking, soaking up the calm and beauty of the surroundings, and our evenings enjoying quality time together around the fire. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Skipping Stones Getaway is the kind of place you want to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking to slow down, recharge, and make lasting memories in a truly lovely setting.

Cute & Cozy Farmhouse Mins to West Jefferson!
This place was amazing! It exactly what our family of 6 was looking for. The kids had so much fun in the river tubing. We tried fishing and got one small trout. The house was very clean and beautiful! It has everything you’d need. We couldn’t be happier. And the cherry on top on our last night we saw a family of deer out of the dining room window including a baby! The kids loved it! Thank you so much for sharing your country home with our family!

A River Cliff View - riverfront, hot tub
We had a great stay. It’s a beautiful home on a very nice piece of property.

Lakefront Sunrise Deck w/ Boat Slip, Washer/Dryer
Renee's place was a gorgeous haven in Johnson City during our time at the National Storytelling Festival--the home away from home, with a stunning lake, exactly what we needed. Everything was exactly as advertised, only a 20 minute winding drive from Jonesborough, but you never wanted to leave when you saw the sun meet the horizon and reflect across that glassy water. Thanks so much, Renee, we had such a wonderful time revisiting Appalachia.

3BR Mountainview 2nd-Floor | Balcony
The place was great for skiing at Sugar Mountain. Everything was good but the floor was bit dirty, our white socks turned black within 5 minutes of walking around. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Love the Serenity as Flattop Creek whistles below-
The condo is super cozy and suitable for a weekend getaway. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Suite Escape@Sugar Mtn Resort - Walk to Ski|Tubing
Had a fantastic time and being with in walking distance of everything is very helpful especially during the high traffic times of the day.

4BR Villa Banner Elk on premiere Resort w/Amenties
My stay at the 4BR Villa in Banner Elk was absolutely delightful! The villa was spacious, beautifully furnished, and offered all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect getaway spot for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of the mountains. Would highly recommend it for families or groups looking for a luxurious and peaceful retreat!

Ski-in/out 2BR with amazing view overlooking lifts
Nice place in a superb location

Upscale Rustic Duplex on Stream, Near Blowing Rock
Loved this rustic creekside condo. It was beautiful inside and out. Everything you needed was there. The deck outside to relax and listen to the creek was so nice. We would definitely stay here again!

Creekside 2min to slopes..quiet & private location
Beautiful spot. Great view from the balcony with a nice hangout spot by a river where deer occasionally roam. House was very cozy and clean. In a really nice area with lots to do and the people are very nice. Owner also had a great response time and was very easy to communicate with. Great deal as well, I highly recommend.
