Description
River Rock Cabin – Mountain Views Just Minutes from Downtown Banner Elk

River Rock is a beautifully finished 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin that sleeps up to 5 guests. Nestled in the center of Valley View, this cozy retreat offers both privacy and convenience—just minutes from downtown Banner Elk, Beech Mountain Ski Resort, fine dining, wineries, the alpine coaster, and more.

The living room features a gas log fireplace, a large smart TV, and a comfortable sofa, with a bonus twin bed tucked along the wall for additional sleeping space. The kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Keurig—perfect for your morning coffee. A full-size laundry center is just off the kitchen for added convenience.

Each bedroom is located on opposite sides of the home for added privacy. The primary bedroom includes a king bed, TV, and access to a stunning full bath. The second bedroom features a queen bed and an en-suite bathroom that also opens to the hallway. Both bathrooms are beautifully appointed with granite countertops and custom tiled showers with glass doors.

The town of Banner Elk has four distinct seasons, and offers fun family activities all year long. As winter begins, Banner Elk helps thousands of families each year start a family tradition with many Choose-N-Cut farms for travelers to get a Christmas tree. Once the holiday festivities are over, the area becomes a ski town. Known as the Ski Capitol of the South, winter sports enthusiasts flock to the area for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing at the area's larger resorts, Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain which are both located only a few miles away! Spring and summer in Banner Elk is the perfect time to get out of the city heat. Enjoy a relaxing drive, hike, or picnic on the Blue Ridge Parkway, or take a trip to Grandfather Mountain. For outdoor enthusiasts, Banner Elk is home to many rafting and fishing outfitters, hiking and biking trails, and distinct golf courses. Wildcat Lake is also open to the public, and offers swimming, canoeing, and much more! Come see what the beautiful mountains of North Carolina have to offer!

River Rock was an awesome cabin. I haven’t slept that well in months. I loved the heated floors in the bathrooms. River Rock was a really nice place to relax.

We had a great time at this rental. Only 15 minutes to sugar and 25 minutes to beech. Loved the back yard area because it was enough room to play fetch with our dog!
