Klonteska · Banner Elk, North Carolina
Klonteska is a fully renovated chalet about a hundred yards from the heart of Banner Elk, close enough to walk to Sorrento's or LP on Main for dinner. Sugar Mountain is about ten minutes away.
Inside: two kings, two queens and a camping-themed kids' room with twin beds under teepee canopies, a fireplace in a vaulted living room, and a coffee bar for the early risers.
The deck has the hot tub, a gas grill and long views to Sugar Mountain. Downstairs, a neon-lit arcade keeps the kids busy.

Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, NFL Blitz and Fast and Furious, plus air hockey, for when someone says they're bored.

Soak under the stars, with Sugar Mountain in the distance and the lights of Banner Elk below.

Curl up by the fireplace with a glass of wine, or open the French doors to the mountain air.

Leave the car and walk into the village for dinner, coffee or ice cream.
