Comfortable R&R
We enjoyed this home. It was quiet and comfortable. The layout of the cabin was very workable, and the kitchen seemed to have what you would need to cook a meal, although we did not do so. Hosts provided coffee, tea, and some snacks, which was a very nice touch. We appreciated having the spectrum cable TV as well as a good internet connection. One regret on a warm day was that we could not get windows open, and the screens on the patio doors were not workable. I suppose this does not matter during most seasons, but we would have enjoyed it since outdoor cushions and chairs were wet much of the time we were there. The place had easy access to town, although we did not walk it as we are getting up there in age! Young folks would have no problems. We had a nice relaxing few days. Thank you.

Our two week visit was exactly what we were hoping for. The house was very well maintained and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The proximity to downtown was great and our dog really enjoyed his daily walks along the Greenway Trails. Looking forward to coming back. Thanks.

Better than advertised
I can only give 5 stars for this property since 10 is not an available choice. The cabin was all we could have hoped for, and more. A very comfortable and cozy get away, tucked nicely in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We enjoyed the convenience of being just a short drive from town, and the walk on the nearby Greenway was great. Lisa (the owner) was extremely friendly and accommodating... the personalized welcome to our family left for us on the kitchen table was an especially thoughtful touch. We would most certainly look to this property again and again for future trips to the area.

Wonderful Cabin
Cabin is tucked away in the woods but not far from the store or restaurants, best of both worlds! Clean and was already stocked with firewood and all the other supplies we needed for our stay. Lisa was very helpful during the process and answered any questions we had along the way. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to the mountains!

Nice cabin, close to town…walking distance to park and restaurants. Owners were very accommodating, allowing us to check in early. Special touches (basket of snacks, fans in both bedrooms for white noise, cute plush bears on the kids beds) made our stay with kids even better!

Best Spring Break Ever
A Frame of Mind was the perfect location for our family's spring break. We travelled from Tampa with our family of 4 and our pup (we were so grateful and excited we could bring him). Lisa was so helpful before, providing information on check-in, the home and the town. Check-in itself was a breeze. The driveway, however, is not for the faint of heart, especially at night lol But once we got more comfortable with it, it wasn't a big deal and gave us a great daily workout after walks. Lisa left the sweetest welcome, including snacks which the kids loved. The house is so well-equipped, especially for families (baby gear, eating utensils, board games and puzzles, etc.). The house is super clean and had everything we needed. We loved the fireplace and spent lots of time snuggling in front of it and watching movies. The home is within walking distance of the greatest greenway which included a playground, room to run, a dog park, and a creek the kids loved playing in. We loved Still Waters, Banner Elk Tap Room, the arcade and the ice cream shop. We skied at Beech Mountain, visited Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, Mast General Store, Sugar Creek Gem Mine, etc. We truly had the most wonderful vacation and it was thanks to Lisa and her beautiful home. We will definitely be back.

Our family of 5 enjoyed this splendid A-Frame hill-top cabin located within a short drive or walk to the best stops in Banner Elk! The owners/hosts have done an outstanding job of providing all the necessities for wary travelers! Everything was clean, thoughtfully organized, and included a complimentary snack basket, coffee. and hot cocoa! Also, not having to contend with the hassle of washing towels/linens that were provided, allowed for more family vacation time and activities! Thank you so much Lisa!

The Best!!
Such a beautiful, clean house and a great stay! We went in January with our little dog and enjoyed the (real) fireplace and the comfy sitting areas. Beds were all comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. The garage was a super perk. Very quiet and private. Plan to revisit in the spring/summer to enjoy the expansive decks. Lisa is the best host - very responsive & caring. Highly recommend!

Cozy Home Base for Skiing Sugar
Our family of four and two Goldendoodles absolutely loved our stay. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed for relaxing by the fire, preparing meals, and even playing games. We loved being 3 minutes from Banner Elk and 10 minutes from Sugar Mountain. Lisa was a breeze to communicate with, check-in was easy, and having a garage to use was so awesome. It felt more like borrowing a good friend’s home than staying at a rental.
