You may see wildlife early morning and evenings. Across from the byway you can collect eggs and visit the horse and goats.

The house is beautiful and comfortable. It had everything we needed and we enjoyed cooking, relaxing and venturing off. The property and the walks we took visiting the animals and the scenery was so enjoyable. The host(s) could not be more accommodating. Each room is impeccable and the history of the home and land. We saw turkeys and deer in the mornings as each room has a scenic view. You are literally 4 mins from town so convenient, and we weā€™re comfortable dropping our boys off at Sugar Mountain for full day ski sets. We canā€™t wait to come back and share this trip with our friends. We are refreshed and recharged.

Wonderful historic house!
We absolutely loved our weekend at the farm house! The house was cozy and provided a very relaxing and peaceful environment. It was also clean and had a well equipped kitchen. The highlight for my kids was the horse, goats, dog, and chickens. We fed them everyday and the chickens provided two eggs for breakfast! That was a fun experience for my 7 and 9 year old. The house is 5 minutes from downtown Banner Elk, and we enjoyed the Banner Elk Cafe and walking around town. The owners are responsive and live nearby. We had a delightful conversation with Ms. Lehman about the history of the house and the personalities of their farm animals. We will definitely come back!

Mountain Trip
My family goes to Banner Elk every year for vacation in the fall, this is the best home weā€™ve stayed at! It has all the characteristics of an old home, with all the comforts of a new home and everything is high end. My daughter loved being able to feed the animals each day and walking the property. I highly recommend this home.

Magical
This property really is a jewel. It was immaculately clean, well furnished, and very comfortable in all respects. So no places perfect, this one comes pretty close. Dusty, the horse, Arlo, the guard dog, and the two goats with the chickens really made this place a joy for my grandchildren. Checking for eggs, feeding carrots to the goat and just give an Arlo a great big head rub brought more joy to them than any amusement park. The view from the fire pit up the hill, and the surrounding grounds really made this a relaxing trip. Add the fall colors, and I can safely say that this was probably one of the most picturesque, peaceful, and enjoyable stays I have ever had. I'm not exaggerating. This is a very cool place. I appreciate what the owners have done and what they have provided.

Beautiful family spot!
The Historic Farmhouse is the coziest home weā€™ve ever stayed in. Each room is beautiful and comfortable. There are so many places to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Our kids loved visiting the animals and exploring the woods behind the house. Highly recommend this house!

Charming historic farmhouse
Pictures do not do this place justice! So much historic charm in this delightful farmhouse. Cute farmhouse dƩcor abounds with modern conveniences tastefully mixed in. Comfy beds; spotlessly clean house. Master bath is spectacular. Remote control gas fireplaces in the dining room and living room are the bomb! All the basics in the kitchen. Choice of cute dishware. Keurig with regular coffee supplies is a nice touch. Lovely views from every window. Windows in the bedrooms don't have curtains as (see pictures) which are not needed for privacy as other houses are far enough away, but you might want to bring sleep masks if you are disturbed by morning light. Sitting room off master bedroom provides a quiet 2nd space to work or relax. Well located between skiing at Beech and Sugar. Can't wait to go back!

Beautifully remodeled historic farmhouse in picturesque setting
This house exceeds expectations. The owners (who are extremely supportive) have done a wonderful job of maintaining the historic features of this unique house (which was the original house in the area and used to belong to the owner of the valley and the mountains surrounding it) while updating it to ensure that it is a very comfortable place to stay for a couple or an extended family. Overall, an amazing experience!

Relaxing Weekend
This property is as advertised, but better. The front porch was inviting, the fire pit was great for family togetherness. The house was tastefully decorated and warm. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and the location is very close to downtown Banner Elk.

Awesome place
The place was awesome and so convenient to banner elk...the gravel was not good for at least our motorcycle...gravel a little loose, for the motorcycle likes.. I would love to stay again. This place was nice to stay for this length...The host were great and if I needed anything they were just a phone call away..all things needed were at the location. Equipped with several things I would have at my house...

Relaxing and charming
The history of this 150 yr home is interesting and lends insight into the past in this area of NC. We stayed here to attend the Woolly worm festival just down the road. Furniture and decorations were all perfect. The horse, dog, goats and chickens nearby were like pets and added to the peaceful environment. Nice to not have any close neighbors. The owners were great and very helpful. Would stay again.

The best of both worlds
The History home in Banner Elk offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful, nature-filled retreat with easy access to all the charm of the town. Nestled in a quiet area just a couple miles from downtown Banner Elk, this home provides the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. The home itself is absolutely stunning, with beautifully decorated bedrooms, living spaces, and dining room. The outdoor area is just as lovely, with a serene landscape, seating area, and grill perfect for enjoying the mountain air. My family especially enjoyed visiting the animals on the nearby farm - it was a real treat for our kids. During our stay, we had an amazing time. The house was spotless and our hosts, Fabiana and Paul, were incredibly responsive and available whenever we needed them. They clearly take great pride in sharing their beautiful home. Whether you're looking to experience the natural beauty of the mountains or enjoy the charming local dining and activities, this story home in Banner Elk offers the best of both worlds. We can't wait to visit again soon!"
