We stayed in the Cascades Room and every day started with a wonderful 9:00 gourmet breakfast. Bobbie Parks is a wonderful host and chef. Before breakfast I would go out on the back deck to listen to soothing sounds of the Elk River and bird watch. At 5 p.m. we had a glass of wine before we go out to dinner and, of course, Bobbie helps you find a great place to eat. We have stayed in a number of bed and breakfasts in Banner Elk and this is the best. The decor is second to none.

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!
