Amazing location!
This townhouse was perfectly situated steps away from downtown Banner Elk and Lees-McRae College. The fireplace in the living was an extra bonus as it was easy to use and kept us cozy in the evening while playing card games. It was nice to be able to pop out on the back porches to breathe in the mountain air and feel ‘mountainy’ while not having to drive to a mountain house on windy roads 20 minutes away. We will be back, thanks again!

Reprieve from the Heat
The townhome was just perfect for my husband and myself and our pups! They loved the porches, dog park across the street, and walks around the neighborhood. As dog owners we loved the washable rugs and LVP throughout the house making it a worry-free environment for us! I loved communicating with Alyson. She was so helpful with recommendations ! Definitely would stay here again!

Wonderful Banner Elk Stay
My family enjoyed our stay. It is a very beautiful clean townhome. The balconies were very relaxing. It has listed they have a hot tub but it doesn’t have one(however that wasn’t an issue for us at all). The master bedroom ceiling fan didn’t work. We would definitely book this townhome again in the future!

Wonderful Banner Elk Stay
We loved this townhouse located directly in Banner Elk. It was perfect for walking to restaurants, stores, parks, and Lees-McRae College. The location is also excellent for visiting the many excellent area attractions such as Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, the Alpine Coaster, and Mast General. Boone and Blowing Rock are short drives away, and so is Blue Ridge Parkway. It's a really great location. The townhouse is great for a family, having three bedrooms, and was very clean and well apportioned. The kitchen was nice, and the back deck on each level made for a nice place to relax in the early evenings outside, enjoying the mountain air. Even better, the host, Alyson, is fabulous. She was very responsive to every communication. They have a nice personal guide for the house, including tips and suggestions for the area. Alyson also made sure we were aware of local events and had great suggestions for us to consider during our stay. I highly recommend Whispering Pines Retreat! You will not be disappointed.
