We were originally supposed to stay in the Azalea room, but moved to the White Crow suite to have some extra space. I was able to see the Azalea room and took some pictures of it for reference. The white crow suite is upstairs in the main house and is a large room with a big bathroom and massive walk in closet. There is a small table and 2 chairs in the room and that was very nice for us to have a place to work for one of the days during our stay. The fireplace was also really nice to have as well. The breakfast each morning was very good and I enjoyed being able to easily walk downstairs for some coffee/tea in the mornings. There is a refrigerator in the room and that was nice for us to be able to have morning mimosas. Out back there is a seating area and a small fire pit. It was nice to sit out there when the weather was warm enough during the day. The location of the B&B can't be beat. Everything in Banner Elk is within walking distance of the B&B. It was also nice that they give you a coupon for a free glass or flight of wine at the Banner Elk Winery. I would definitely stay here again if I were visiting the area.

The fire alarm beeped every minute from 3:15 am until someone answered the phone around 7:30 am. If you know the noise it makes when the battery is low, it is loud and annoying and I would doze off and wake up startled! That wasn't the reason they get a 1 Star... it's because of Missy! Instead of apologizing to me about the terrible night I just had, she told me my Dog wasn't allowed in the Inn and that I owed $50 for having a dog in my room (I had already paid $265 for 1 night). I will never stay there again!

Location is the biggest plus. Our upstairs room featured a lack of steady water pressure. Alas,…read morefound out in mid-shower. Host said that happens when they are busy and multiple people shower - known issue. Second day took shower early to avoid the rush, same problem. Welcomes dogs, nice. But limits dog bathroom area to a very small patch of mostly dirt or mud when rainy. The small parking area encumbered with trailers of different sorts. Hosts friendly and dog owners. Needs a little work around the edges. Not a fan of full time residents in an inn setting. Location is its biggest point. Clutter everywhere- old frig units, odds and ends. Not quite horder level but still.

It was nice to have the extra privacy but the room itself was dated. The property next door is was doing construction so we could hear it from the carriage house. If I stayed here again I would stay in the main house. Breakfasts were really delicious and the owners made different things each day. I really liked the homemade biscuits and German apple pancake the best. We also had yummy cookies and cake available when we wanted a snack. I liked the location on the river but for some people it maybe remote. Bonus I saw deer wandering the property.

Very clean, nicely furnished and easy to get to. We are at one of their cabins to night, lots of snow outside but roads fairly clear. Housekeeping has called to check on us. These folks just go beyond what most companies provide. The view is gorgeous. White wonderland. Can't wait to go ski Beech Mtn in the morning and sugar Mtn the next. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves the mtns, lakes and Gorgeous country.

Stayed on this property for a family reunion. At the "big house" aka Mountain View Lodge:…read more Window units only in the upstairs bedrooms. One window unit contained dead animal, rendering it useless. No air conditioning in the common areas and even though it's in the mountains, it was humid and miserable. Multiple water leaks. Bushes outside totally overgrown and three people were stung by hornets at the front door (on different days). Laundry room in house is accessible by all cabins on the property, so people you don't know can be on the property washing clothes any time. At Blue Ridge Cabin, the two bedroom cabin with loft has one window air conditioner which is not sufficient to cool the cabin. The shower is about 30 inches wide and the shower head is basically fixed, so there is no escaping the water. This cabin is advertised as having closets in both bedrooms, but that is not true. There is no closet in the second bedroom, and no mirror, and no place to put a suitcase. Only a bed and a nightstand. We stayed here for three nights living out of a suitcase on the floor. Sheets were 180 count, 50% polyester, and vintage. They came off at night because the elastic on the fitted sheet was totally dry rotted. Futon would not fold out to a bed (broken) and as a couch it was not comfortable, since the mattress hung off the frame despite my attempts to straighten it up. Availability calendar showed no one in the units on the days before us, but they came to mow and weed eat before I was awake the second morning (why didn't they go ahead and mow before we came?). No broom in the cabin so could not sweep up all the grass clippings we tracked in. Floors turned our socks black. This property has great potential as an area for family reunions but desperately needs improvement. Overall, in its present condition, I would never recommend this property.

I would highly recommend these cabins to anyone who wants to experience the Blue Ridge Parkway but…read moredoesn't want to commit to renting a cabin for a week and spending an insane amount of money. I was surprised these cabins rent for $135 per night (with a $35 cleaning fee per stay, and $10 pet fee) year round. We stayed two nights and had a great time. The cabin was well stocked with just about everything we needed minus food. The Jacuzzi tub was a wonderful addition. Cabins are pet friendly and we were left a goodie bag for our "fur babies". The Mountains-to-Sea trail runs at the end of the driveway to these cabins, which was a nice bonus to be able to go on a nice hike that close to our cabin.

With that, my stay at The Perry House Bed and Breakfast shoots to the top of my list of memories! Make some tea--this will be long! I've never stayed at a BnB before. My daughter and I do an annual daddy/daughter trip and we tried this area before in a cabin rental. Fun, for sure but the Perry House took things to a different level. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by Robin and Mike and they're just so darn nice, I want them to be my North Carolina parents! Robin gave us the lay of the land and our rooms and it was time to settle in for 4 nights. The rooms are cozy and comfy with each having their own bathroom. The house itself is gorgeous, especially at Christmastime. There's a TV in the living room, kitchen in the back, and snacks around. You can explore the highlands, or just sit in your PJs watching TV or reading. Breakfast was served daily and did not disappoint! Sitting around family style with others was fantastic. Which, that is another fun aspect of a real BnB--we met 3 or 4 different couples and they were all the warmest people. Sharing stories, sharing our lives, sharing things to do--this is the real deal. I mentioned to my mom that this, at least the entrance, reminded me of Newhart, if you're old enough to remember. Our capstone was celebrating New Years 2023 with Robin, Mike, and the guests! It'll definitely be one for the memory book! The Perry House is mountain hospitality, Americana, beauty, and history all rolled into one. If you're visiting Banner Elk, you owe it to yourself to stay at least a night and make memories!

The servers that were passing around h'orderves were often standing around and talked amongst themselves. Towards the end of the night I saw about 6 of them sitting down next to the dance floor. I found the staff here to be quite unprofessional. However, they were all very nice. That is not the reason people come here to have a wedding reception. People come to this mile high destination for the views. When you first come through the front door, you see right through the beautiful building to the spectacular view that this gem has to offer. Windows surround the back of the building which leads out to massive balcony. The sense of euphoria of being in the town that has the highest elevation on the east coast with spectacular views and fresh air is exactly where two young lovers should celebrate the vows they have just given to each other. There are many vacation rentals and some hotels for people to stay at in the area. I recommend you get your guests a shuttle service so they do not have to drive. The roads are windy in this area. One problem with the building... It is long, most likely to maximize the views from the inside. The problem with this, is that it is difficult to hear the speeches being made from the middle if you are on the end. To this date Beech Mountain Club is the best place to have a wedding I have ever been to, and for that I give this place 5 stars.
