Located in Banner Elk, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Beech Mountain Resort or the 9-minute drive to Land of Oz (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Once you get back, you can enjoy your surroundings with the firepit and BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a fireplace, a ceiling fan, and a desk. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
