This lodge is exceptional. Bobbie is the perfect host, chef, baker, and guide for an unforgettable stay in gorgeous Banner Elk, NC. The covered deck is serene with the sound of the river water calming all your worries. The interior lodge is impeccably decorated down to the smallest details. You will not regret one second of staying at this unforgettable bed & breakfast.

What a beautiful lodge and the location is fantastic. Next to the river, you can't go wrong. You can sit around and relax and read or go for hikes. Bobbie was an exceptional host, telling us where the best shops were, the best water falls. She recommend a few top restaurants and they did not disappoint..... And Breakfast was amazing!!!!! I look forward to coming again!
