Elk Lodge · Banner Elk, North Carolina
Elk Lodge sits on two private acres at the top of a mountain outside Banner Elk, with long-range views over the Blue Ridge. Downtown is about 12 minutes away; Sugar Mountain about 18.
The main house has the kings, the bunk rooms, a sunroom and a loft. Above the garage there's a private two-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen and laundry, so the in-laws get their own space.
The three-car garage is now a heated game room with a pool table, shuffleboard, ping pong and arcade cabinets. Outside: a hot tub on the stone patio and a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs.
Pool, shuffleboard, ping pong and an arcade table with hundreds of games, a big TV and leather sofas, plus its own half bath.
Grab a cup from the coffee bar and watch the mountains wake up through the windows.
Adirondack chairs around the fire as the sun drops behind the trees, after a day on the slopes or the river.
A Wolf stove, a custom refrigerator and a coffee bar, stocked down to the cookie sheets and pizza cutter.
What's included
The whole lodge and its grounds are yours, at the top of the mountain.
Two bedrooms with their own baths, a full kitchen and laundry above the garage.
A loft for the teens, a basement lounge with a sectional, and the game room's big screen.
Sugar Mountain about 18 minutes away, Beech Mountain about 26.

“Place was ideal for our friends gathering (adult and kid friendly). Beautiful scenery, comfy house, awesome game room.”NathanAirbnb · October 2026
“The stay there was off the charts. Currently living in Fl our grand children had never seen snow, to see the joy on their faces was priceless. Due to weather conditions we didn’t leave the property except to go get groceries. With all the amenities we were never at a loss of fun activities for all.”AnthonyAirbnb · January 2025
