Welcome to Apple Blossom, a cozy and well-equipped 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath Banner Elk stay set in the middle of an apple orchard with beautiful long-range mountain views. This property gives guests a rare High Country experience: peaceful orchard surroundings, scenic Blue Ridge Mountain views, and convenient access to the best of Banner Elk.

Inside, the home is designed for comfort and ease. 2 spacious bedrooms makes this a great fit for couples, small families, wedding guests, Lees-McRae visitors, ski weekends, and relaxed mountain getaways. The living room includes a regular sofa and smart TV, giving guests a comfortable place to unwind after a day exploring the mountains.

The full kitchen makes it easy to cook breakfast before skiing, prepare dinner after a day of hiking, or enjoy a slower mountain morning with coffee at home while taking in the orchard and mountain setting. The washer and dryer are a major convenience for longer stays, ski trips, families, and guests who want to pack lighter.

Smart TVs are included in the living room and both bedrooms, so guests can stream their favorite shows from multiple spaces.

Guests are welcome to enjoy apple picking when apples are in season. The orchard gives the property a unique sense of place and creates a memorable mountain stay that feels different from a typical condo or cabin.

This unit can be booked on its own or paired with the other Apple Blossom properties for larger groups. When booked together, the Apple Blossom collection can become a 7 bedroom, 4.5 bath mountain retreat, ideal for family gatherings, ski groups, wedding guests, and multi-family stays.

The Neighborhood:

166 Apple Blossom is located in Banner Elk, one of the most desirable mountain towns in North Carolina’s High Country. The property sits in the middle of an apple orchard with long-range mountain views, giving guests a peaceful and scenic setting while still keeping them close to restaurants, shops, wineries, ski resorts, hiking, and year-round attractions.

Banner Elk is a favorite destination for guests visiting Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, Lees-McRae College, local wineries, scenic drives, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. In winter, guests come for skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and cozy mountain weekends. In spring and summer, the area is popular for hiking, golf, rafting, fishing, wineries, outdoor dining, and cool mountain weather. In fall, the orchard setting becomes especially memorable, with crisp air, changing leaves, apple season, and colorful mountain views all around.



Enjoy a richness of culture and adventure. Within 15 minutes of the town’s lone stoplight you can experience the great outdoors, fabulous dining, theater and the arts, family attractions like Grandfather Mountain, and the South’s two largest ski resorts: Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain.



Getting Around:

A car is strongly recommended when staying in Banner Elk. The area is easy to explore by car, with quick access to downtown Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, restaurants, grocery stores, wineries, hiking trails, and scenic mountain drives.

The Tesla EV charger makes this a convenient choice for guests traveling with an electric vehicle. Guests should plan ahead during winter months, as mountain weather can change quickly. Snow, ice, fog, and steep roads are possible in the High Country, so 4WD, AWD, or snow chains may be needed during winter weather events.



Other Things to Note:

Apple picking is permitted when apples are in season. Guests should only pick apples for personal enjoyment during their stay and should use caution when walking through the orchard, as the ground may be uneven and natural outdoor conditions may be present.
