Beautiful location but luxury is a bit of a stretch
We had a nice stay. The house is beautiful in a beautiful location. The view and deck is gorgeous. We were a bit disappointed that there was a coffee maker with no pot so we couldn’t make coffee. I would have loved to sit on the deck with a cup of coffee in the morning. The ice maker didn’t work so we had no ice. Dishwasher was broken so we hand washed the dishes which was fine but if the dishwasher is broken it would be nice if there was more than one dish towel and some type of dish rack. The dishwasher was also filled with smelly dirty dishes which was off putting. The dryer was also broken. The trash was completely full in the outside cage so we needed to stuff our trash in there. Overall this house is beautiful. But it just seems it’s not well looked after. We got engaged here this weekend so I would love to return but I would need to confirm that all the promised amenities were in working condition. Luxury to me means a roll of paper towels being supplied decent toilet paper, etc

Awesome place
Only complaint was smelly pile of blankets in one of the bedroom, closets and old hairbrush behind one of the beds.

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.

Enjoyed our stay but the property needs some attention
It's a unique house with a great view in a fantastic location and minutes from everything in Banner Elk. Upon arrival the property manager called to make sure everything was ok. The next day I contacted them because the icemaker was not working and several lights were out including the main entrance. The parking area was pitch-black and not the best for a secluded location. The motion light turns off within seconds so it’s completely useless. The management responded promptly but no one came to repair before we left. In that time, we found over a dozen bulbs burned out and minor issues including a loose drawer pull & towel rack that both fell off and the bathroom hot water faucet barely moves. A section of the deck railing was broken out, the grill is totally beat and has no standby tank. It ran out while using so very irritating as we planned our meals around it. The hot tub was nice and clean, but the lid is tattered and needs replacement – like last year. There were hoses and tools lying about and just a variety of things out of place and beyond the scope of the cleaning crew. Most issues on their own were not enough for most guests to comment about so management was likely unaware. That said, all of this did not happen overnight. A thorough onsite inspection is long overdue. Honestly, if I knew these issues were resolved we would stay there again because it really was a nice trip. This is a great property but without some closer oversight it will soon lose its 5/5 rating.

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.

Mountain Getaway
Wanted to be in the mountains with a jacuzzi! Was wonderful! Great amenities and reasonably clean. Rugs need cleaning, otherwise just throw a towel down. Some of the kitchenware can be replaced and some spring dusting is in need. We had a really great visit!

Quality has dropped since last year.
Stayed at this cabin in Feb of 2022 and we had a blast. This year was not the same experience. It seems the property has had a change in management since we last stayed and the quality has taken a nose dive. Shower curtains had black mildew stains (I’m assuming they hadn’t been changed since last year). Hot tub was not in working order and the display screen was broken, which was the entire reason we chose this cabin. Downstairs fireplace no longer works, and the downstairs patio light bulb was burnt out and had not been replaced, which is a problem because it gets very dark at night. Seems that the property is being managed by a company that is located elsewhere and does not actually check the condition of the cabin before they rent it out. We used to love this place which is why we came back for a second year, but we will be staying elsewhere next year for our annual trip.

Potato House
The Potato house was just how it was described. We enjoyed our time spent there. We were able to explore the property and saw the wild life. Every morning, we would have our coffee on the deck and watch 5 to 6 deer in the field across from the house grazing. We walked the hill behind the house and ran into a flock of wild turkeys. Very relaxing and fun. Thanks for the memories.

Beautiful fall views of mountains!
The house is very well-maintained and equipped. Two equal king bedrooms which is nice for two couples. Very close to dining and shopping.
