Welcome to Elk Laurel!

Elk Laurel is the first home built in a 14-acre development with beautiful long-range views. Come explore the mountains while you enjoy the luxurious comfort of this elegantly finished log cabin.

This large family home boasts a huge wrap-around deck with a large hot tub, gas grill, and outdoor dining for 12. Enjoy the cool mountain evenings on the deck or sit on the bench surrounding the fire pit to roast marshmallows.

There are multiple areas inside so everyone can enjoy their own space while being together. The main level has an open floor plan with a well-stocked kitchen, a dining area with seating for 8, and a bar for 3. These adjoin the living area with the gas log fireplace and TV. Upstairs you will find a loft with a game table that seats 6 and a PS3 game system with an assortment of family-friendly games. Downstairs boasts a huge game room with a pool table, PS4 game system, a sleeper sofa, and comfortable chairs so you can enjoy the latest sports or movies on the large Smart TV. You will also find board games and books for all ages throughout the house. Do not forget to check out the garage, where you will find the ping pong table.

*Firewood available for purchase after booking. Please contact Carolina Cabin Rentals if interested.*

The 14-acre property is yours to explore. Although you may feel remote, Banner Elk is only 4 miles from the cabin, Valle Crucis is 5 miles away, and Boone is less than 30 minutes. Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain are both within 10 miles. Grandfather Mountain and Linville Falls are also nearby.

Important Information
Elk Laurel is a large family home, and we ask that you respect the total number of occupants allowed. This is NOT a party house. Loud, boisterous events will not be tolerated, as the neighbors will contact the authorities. Thank you for your consideration as noise travels through the mountains easily.

Please Note: A few exterior cameras are monitoring the roadway for security reasons. They do not monitor any living spaces outside.

Overall a great experience. The house was as it appears in the photos. The location was accessible but still felt secluded. The only issue was that the AC was a little weak for August, but the air outside was cool enough that it wasn't a big deal.

Wonderful mountain retreat
This cabin was beautifully furnished and immaculate and supplied with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. My family enjoyed the pool table, the ping pong table, the hot tub, the fire pit, the wraparound deck, and all of the TV's. The place was super cozy and comfortable. We loved it.

It was NOT cleaned AFTER prior guests
I hesitated to write a review but I felt it was important to inform others. The place was big and nice. It accommodated our large party. And the location was perfect! However, upon arrival the place had NOT been CLEANED after the last guest! I was embarrassed for my family and friends. I called the number and it took me 30 minutes to get ahold of someone. Once I got ahold of someone her child was screaming in the back ground and she stated 'that I (me not her) had a bad connection'. She told me she filed a compliant and someone will call me back. I did tell her that I didn't want someone to come clean as it would be strange as we sit here while they clean, we had our dog with us therefore we couldn't really go anywhere for several hours. BUT I needed cleaning supplies, fresh bedding and fresh towels ASAP so we could clean the place. My mother and her friend (both in their 80s) were there so we needed to clean the property ASAP due to COVID and the unknown! 2 hours later...NO ONE ever called nor came to the property, I called them back - at this time it is 7PM. BTW we drove from FL and STL both 9 - 10 hour drives. When I spoke to someone at 7 PM she said 'I see the pictures you sent' I told her no one asked me to send pictures, so how do you have pictures. She proceeded to let me know that the ticket was not filed correctly either. I asked for a manager to call me back, of course that never happened. Finally, at 9 PM 2 very nice ladies came with fresh towels, bedding and cleaning supplies, my understanding they didn't even work for the cleaning crew who was supposed to clean the place. I asked for a full refunded, it didn't happen they did reimburse me for some but it was not nearly enough. Oh and manager never called nor did I get a reason why the place had not been cleaned. And we could not use the hot tub since it had not been cleaned either, what a waste. I will NEVER book a property that is hosted by Caroline Cabin Rentals again! As a matter of fact, we just booked another week in Banner Elk for late May / early June and any search that came back with hosted by Caroline Cabin Rental I skipped. Pam Schneider

wrap around porch was awesome
The house was perfect for our needs. We loved the wrap around porch. The living space and kitchen were both nice and big. It’s a very dog friendly house supplied with water bowls for your fur children. The house didn’t smell like other places that are pet friendly. We enjoyed our time very much.

Perfect house for our family reunion!
My husbands side of the family came from Virginia and SC to meet up for a few days. Sleeping arrangements were perfect for our 8 adults and 4 kids. Home was well appointed and kids loved the ping pong table and hot tub. The firepit we roasted s’mores on was also a nice perk! We fell in love with Banner Elk while there too- such a cute town.

Great cabin!
Nice and clean cabin with lots of sleeping room and a well stocked kitchen. The drive up is not for the faint of heart though. No “quick runs” down the mountain to the store, so come prepared!

Beautiful Property in Need of Some Repairs
First and foremost, this cabin is beautiful inside and out. We took advantage of both the hot tub and fire pit, and I would book again in a heartbeat. However, several appliance upgrades/ repairs are needed. First, the hot water just frequently and randomly cuts out. The worst of this happened when I was soaped up in the shower forcing me to run outside naked and jump in the hot tub to rinse. The second major issue is the oven. It takes forever to preheat, but more importantly it is so greasy that hot grease drips out the bottom of the door while it's on. I tried to clean but the self-clean didn't work. The ice dispenser didn't work either. The dryer is on its last leg, which is likely due to the lint filter not being cleaned. The lint was more than an inch thick in the filter. Lastly, the home was in need of a deep Spring Clean. I don't want to say it was dirty but could use some dusting in certain places, and the basement tub was dirty (which looked like it was just from lack of use for an extended period). The bottom line is this property deserves every bit of my 4 star overall rating, and I hope to return next year with repaired or new appliances.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Stay
This cabin is awesome! Plenty of room for 11 adults, 2 babies, & 3 dogs. Very clean & comfortable! Enjoyed the pool table & ping pong table when it rained. S’mores at the fire pit one evening. Grilled burgers one night. Huge porch. Great hike up the mountain with spectacular view! Well equipped kitchen but I did bring my roasting pan for the turkey as was suggested in the cabin description, which was accurate on all points. Driving up from Banner Elk is an easier road than coming up the other direction FYI. We would definitely stay here again! Apple Hill Farm was fun with the kids & Elk River Falls was a short hike for an incredible view.

Beautiful Cabin!
This is our first stay in the area. We LOVED the cabin - it was beautiful, well equipped, and our big family enjoyed the spacious rooms, game room, deck, hot tub, etc. We were worried about the kitchen not being well stocked, as we read in earlier reviews, but the owners have restocked the kitchen, and there were plenty of extra blankets. We will definitely rent this cabin next year!
