Great weekend get away
We had a great weekend vacation at the Potato house. It was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. The wifi was a little quirky but it did work. The heated bathroom floors was a nice feature, the ladies really loved that. All in all it was a quiet restful weekend and we enjoyed the stay there, would definitely stay at the Potato House again.

Sno-cation!!
It was an absolute pleasure to stay at the Potatoe House. Went to see snow and relax and it did not disappoint. The house was perfectly set up for check-in, had everything you need for a stay. But the views were worth more than anything I can say. Thank you again.

restful fall retreat
The Potato house is a charming but modern cabin with beautiful wood decor and decorative lighting The views are beautiful. The property manager was helpful and prompt with small issue of batteries for remote. The neighborhood is very quiet. It was a very restful stay.

Review
We absolutely love the house, the location, the views, and the hot tub. The appliances could use a little upgrade—the mold in the washing machine made me uncomfortable and the dishwasher leaked when we tried to use it. More than 4 bath towels (we had 4 people staying for 4 nights) and a dish towel would have been helpful.

Beautiful property! We really enjoyed walking the property and how quiet the area was!
Renting was not complicated at all, nor was checking in. This property was great for us since we are an older couple with a small cattle farm. The pasture land reminded us of home and we throughly loved walking the trails across the road and behind the house.

Perfect Place
Me & my husband spent our 28th anniversary at the Potato House. Gorgeous sunrises & sunsets. Cute little chipmunks that will let you catch a glimpse , deer that will show themselves early in the morning. It was truly a wonderful place. The view is breathtaking, no picture has done it justice. Its so much different being there. The Potato house is not far from Boone, Grandfather Mountain ,Linville Caverns, Linville Falls & Blowing Rock. We would recommend staying at The Potatao House for your comfort(the bed is comfortable)& to be close to all the other places to visit. We hope to go back soon . Thank you!!!!

Quaint Cozy cabin in a great location
The cabin had an adorable mountain vibe and aesthetic that was consistently applied throughout the home. The location was convenient to a winery, general store, banner elk town and hiking while still being secluded. Though overall well appointed, the home needed some repairs. Wifi was completely down which was disappointing as it left us with no tv and poor cell reception. The hot tub was clean and functional but the abundance of chemicals stung our eyes as well as its cover not easy to pull off, and there was no hot water in one of the bathroom sinks due to a faucet handle not functioning. Overall it was still a lovely stay and could be 5 stars with the above issues addressed.

Keep coming back
This is the third time my wife and I have stayed there the last two with friends. The house is perfect for a couple of couples and close to plenty of wonderful things to do. We have enjoyed all three of our trips there and plan to go back in the future. We recommend the house to anyone looking for a quiet peaceful beautiful vacation.

Banner Elk Heaven
This property had everything we could have wanted for our 4 day Anniversary getaway. Hiking out the back door, soaking in the hot tub or relaxing by the fire pit all made for a delightful time. The kitchen was well stocked and we made great meals on the grill. Thanks so much!
