Independent Banner Elk hotels

"This was a great cozy cabin very close to Mast General Store. It was convenient to get to Boone and Hawksnest as well. Great decor, full kitchen and balcony."

"We had a great time. But seeemed a little over priced for what it is. The place could be better if some more effort were put into it. But the owners are very sweet, and house has great charm!"

"What a neat little find! My son and I wanted to see snow and go tubing near the mountains. They have two really cool cabins so there’s a lot of privacy and a beautiful location in the forest. Highly recommend."

"We have stayed in lots of B&Bs, but this lodge is the most beautiful we have ever seen. It is hard to describe how amazing it is and everything was just perfect. We loved staying here. The manager, Bobbie, was just so wonderful and we enjoyed talking with her, and her recommendations for places to visit were great. We felt at home here, and would very highly recommend staying here. We hope to return! 10 out of 10 all around!! "

"Great little spot right in the middle of it all. Not too close to the slopes but very convenient to the grocery store and restaurants. The friendliest staff; love Bowinkels!"
