Klonteska · Banner Elk, North Carolina

The village at the end of the driveway.

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.

“The house was great for a family stay. The kids loved the hot tub and game room. We loved the view of Grandfather mountain and walking to the local restaurants. A great combination of mountain getaway and walkability to enjoy Banner Elk.”

“Our family of 6 had a great time here and plenty of space. Everyone loved the beds. Everything was well stocked. Awesome location (close to the action, while also very peaceful and private). Very proactive communication from the hosts. Would definitely stay here again.”
