2 Bedroom Cabin in Banner Elk

The Space: 1880s Heritage meets Modern Comfort
Step back in time without sacrificing luxury. Originally built in 1884 and meticulously restored, "This Old River Cabin" is a 1,200 sq. ft. sanctuary that blends authentic Appalachian character with high-end modern amenities.
The Vibe: Curated local art, hand-poured concrete, and reclaimed wormy chestnut wood create an atmosphere rooted in regional craftsmanship.
The Location: Waterfront on the Elk River. You are 1 mile from Sugar Mountain Resort and 2 miles from downtown Banner Elk—close to the action, yet tucked away in nature.
Easy Access: Featuring rare flat parking and a charming private wooden bridge entrance, making arrival simple even in winter months.
Chef’s Kitchen & Coffee Bar
We’ve preserved the 19th-century soul of the kitchen while providing the tools a modern foodie expects.
Artisanal Design: Custom cabinets crafted from the cabin’s original walls and a deep farmhouse sink.
The Coffee Ritual: A fully stocked bar featuring a Drip Maker, French Press, and Chemex for the perfect mountain morning.
High-End Gear: Equipped with a Crockpot, blender, professional knives, and a full suite of spices and oils.
Authentic Living Note: To protect our historic plumbing, the kitchen does not have a disposal. We provide a high-capacity water filtration pitcher in place of a fridge dispenser to ensure the freshest mountain water while maintaining the cabin’s vintage integrity.
Rest & Refresh
Master Sanctuary: King bed with premium linens, a dual-zone heated mattress topper, and ambient lighting.
The Bunk Room: Custom-built bunks + 1 Queen bed. A cozy, flexible retreat designed for both kids and adults.
Spa-Inspired Baths: Featuring rain shower heads and hand-carved stone sinks sourced directly from the Elk River on the property.
Outdoor Living
Riverside Relaxation: A wraparound deck with string lights, a porch swing, and rocking chairs next to the rushing water.
Evening Magic: Gather around the private fire pit or soak in the hot tub under the stars.
