A-Frame of Mind! Cozy Banner Elk Cabin! A Favorite! Squeaky Clean and A+location

In the center of Banner Elk lies a charming two-bedroom cottage that provides the ideal retreat for your upcoming mountain vacation. Surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, you'll be just a short 10-minute drive from the slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort and a 12-minute drive from the thrilling runs of Beech Mountain Resort. For a day of adventure, Grandfather Mountain is just a 24-minute drive away, where you can explore the iconic Mile High Swinging Bridge and encounter native wildlife.

Back at the cabin, you'll find all the comforts of home, including free WiFi, a washing machine and dryer, a cozy fireplace, and a smart TV with cable channels and streaming. The fully stocked kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, outside deck grill, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle, blender, and toaster, allowing you to easily prepare delicious meals. Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table, surrounded by the cabin's rustic charm. Dining is also available on the wonderful deck where you feel like you are in a tree house away from the world!

After a day of outdoor exploration, unwind on the balcony with a cup of coffee, your favorite beverage or relax in the living room, where you'll find good old fashioned games to unplug and enjoy some family time. The cabin also features two bathrooms, plenty of towels, guest toiletries, a hair dryer, an iron and board, air conditioning in both bedrooms, heating throughout, and wonderful linens, ensuring your comfort throughout your stay. With a baby gate, high chair, pack and play and games for kids, this cabin is perfect for families. Secure parking in the garage completes the package, making your mountain retreat a truly carefree experience.
*Things To Note Please
~Stairs are required to enter this property. We ask our guests to make sure this is something they are comfortable with prior to booking.
~The drive does have a slight incline as so many mountain properties do! It is what make us the mountains. It is paved, however, manageable by 99% of our guests regardless of the type of car they may drive. And... it is maintained in the winter by a wonderful local gentleman on call for us with his snow plow! He never lets us down and we feel super fortunate to have him look after our driveway on the many wintry days the high country produces!
~The property does have 1 security camera facing the driveway and mounted above the garage. This is for monitoring the property when it is unoccupied and for monitoring winter conditions of the drive. We turn it off when our guests arrive except to periodically check conditions of snow accumulation. There are no other cameras inside or out on our property.

Quiet getaway

This was our second time staying here, and hope to return in the future. The cabin is very clean, well stocked, and dog friendly! Close to plenty of hiking trails, restaurants, and shopping nearby. We had a great time!

A-frame of mind

The house was exactly as advertised, and it was clean and welcoming. Lisa responds to messages promptly, and directions to the house are spot on. Only negative is the steep, narrow driveway. I have a big truck, but a small car can park easily.

Cozy weekend

This mountain cabin features wrap around decks that are nestled in rhododendron and offer some privacy. It is perfectly situated for a relaxing Banner Elk town visit, a Beech Mt. adventure, and treks into Boone. We enjoyed the games and snacks provided by the host. The house offered everything we were looking for. And the host was very proactively available.

Perfect Mountain Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in A Frame of Minds that was so easy to get to, first class in comfort, and very pleasing mountain decor that has a very thoughtful host. Plus after experiencing having a garage with a remote opener is now a must have especially in winter. We would stay here again.

Best Little Cabin in Banner Elk

This cabin is a favorite of ours. This was our second stay here. Each time the owner has always made the check-in and check-out process seamless. She always communicates in a timely manner to make sure you have all you need for your stay in the Banner Elk area. This cabin is conveniently located less than a mile from the Banner Elk town center making it easy drive to our favorite breakfast spot the Banner Elk Cafe. Our favorite feature of the cabin is the fireplace. We sat in front of it for hours just chatting. The owners also make sure you have plenty of wood to burn. We will definitely be heading back to this cabin in the near future!
