The stunning surroundings and serene mountain air of Banner Elk await you with open arms here at Fox Run Retreat, so take that long-awaited ski getaway and rest easy. Step inside and you will be greeted with the warm wood accents, tall ceilings, and wonderful mountain views from nearly every room on the second floor of the home. Mornings and evenings can easily be spent on the spacious deck, as a fire table and seating away for you to reminisce with loved ones. When everyone returns to home base after a full day of fun, the great room will be just the place to kick back and watch a favorite show by the warmth of the gas fireplace. Plus, the chef of the group will be in paradise with all of the appliances and utensils needed to whip up a warm meal in the full kitchen!

Though you will feel like you are tucked away from it all, this home is in a perfect location to get some privacy while still being close to all of the best attractions.

Not to mention, the heart of Banner Elk offers a plethora of dining and shopping options.

Plenty to do nearby but no need to leave this deck!

The home was clean, had a gorgeous view and was so convenient to Banner Elk and the top of Beech Mountain. We visited many sites but I could have stayed on the deck all day long.

Great little getaway

Had a wedding at the overlook barn. This place was right down the road. Perfect location of a quick weekend trip. Few little minor things on our trip but that’s typical. Customer service was great as well. Would totally recommend this place.

Amazing View

This home was lovely. One of my favorite things was driving right up to the front, no steps to navigate while taking everything inside. The home is beautiful and comfortable and the view from the deck is gorgeous; we even had a rainbow over the mountains during our stay. We saw deer every day in the neighborhood. Loved shopping at Fred's Mercantile and there are several good restaurants nearby. Our stay was wonderful and I highly recommend this home.

Excellent Location and Amazing Views

The cabin was very nice and had everything necessary for a week long stay. The amenities were great and the location to Beech Mt Ski Resort was very close, Sugar Mt Ski Resort was a short drive also. The minor issues with lighting were quickly resolved. The only complaint I have is the bar stools are quite short, the dining room table chairs need to have the legs tightened and there is only 1 television and it’s quite dated.

Wonderful house

Weekend stay for a girls weekend. We enjoyed the home and locations. Gated community and a garage were perfect and a safe feeling. Plenty of room for all of us. The only thing missing was a few more towels, pot holders and tvs in the bedrooms. Only one room with tv. Had difficulty getting into the home with the codes but once we contacted them, they assisted in a timely manner

Fabulous view, cozy house

The view is awesome in a clear day. House was nice, furniture comfortable. The seating and fireplace in living room was so warm and cozy. Large dining table. The kitchen description in the listing is overrated- If you are a cook, bring your own frypan and bakeware. Also advise bringing a couple of extra blankets for the bed. Driving to The house the road has a number of tight turns, the lane is narrow, but all is doable if you take your time. Eleven in the rain clouds obscuring the view a couple of days, we enjoyed this mountain home.

Lovely Retreat

We really enjoyed Mountain Perch. The view is fantastic with Grandfather Mountain almost in the center of 180 degree mountain expanse. The home itself is well maintained & comfortable. We would have liked to have had a cheat sheet on how the inside gas fireplace worked. On our second day we found an owner’s manual for the fireplace. We may be the only people in the US without cable TV so it took us a while to figure that out also. Vacasa staff were quick to help us enter the house via key access when the code & recoding the lock failed. They also came promptly with propane gas for the fire pit table & grill.

Amazing views.

We needed a space to hold 8 people. We needed a space with minimal stairs for my 84 year old mother. Lots of space for everyone. It took time and searching looking for a needle in a haystack. But this home was a perfect fit. So happy to have found this location. We look forward to returning in the future.
