    I Love the Banner Elk Inn & BB/Cottages!!

    December 28, 2011

    My husband and I have been coming to this wonderful bed & breakfast for years. We've tried pretty much every room/cottage/cabin and they are all great! There is no other place I want to stay when I am in the area. Mrs. Beverly is an excellent innkeeper and the breakfast is always yummy! It's a great place to relax and meet new friends.

    October 31, 2009

    My husband and needed to get away to relax and this was definitely the place to go. Beverly was very accomodating and attentive. She truly knows how to run an inn. The rooms are lovely and the breakfast was absolutely tremendous. It was very relaxing to sit on the porch overlooking the garden and fountains. We will be returning to this lovely inn.

    Like coming home

    October 25, 2008

    My husband and I spent a weekend here in September. We stayed in the very comfortable main house. Highlights were the nice bed linens, hot shower, snack room and of course, the wonderful breakfast. The Inn is also very convenient to shops and restaurants in the town of Banner Elk.

    Review from England

    Stayed in main house, absolutely lovely rooms. Especially liked the idea of helping yourself at any time to the food and drink in the little breakfast room. Would love to return.
