The house was exactly as advertised, and it was clean and welcoming. Lisa responds to messages promptly, and directions to the house are spot on. Only negative is the steep, narrow driveway. I have a big truck, but a small car can park easily.

Cozy weekend

This mountain cabin features wrap around decks that are nestled in rhododendron and offer some privacy. It is perfectly situated for a relaxing Banner Elk town visit, a Beech Mt. adventure, and treks into Boone. We enjoyed the games and snacks provided by the host. The house offered everything we were looking for. And the host was very proactively available.

Best Little Cabin in Banner Elk

This cabin is a favorite of ours. This was our second stay here. Each time the owner has always made the check-in and check-out process seamless. She always communicates in a timely manner to make sure you have all you need for your stay in the Banner Elk area. This cabin is conveniently located less than a mile from the Banner Elk town center making it easy drive to our favorite breakfast spot the Banner Elk Cafe. Our favorite feature of the cabin is the fireplace. We sat in front of it for hours just chatting. The owners also make sure you have plenty of wood to burn. We will definitely be heading back to this cabin in the near future!

Perfect Mountain Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in A Frame of Minds that was so easy to get to, first class in comfort, and very pleasing mountain decor that has a very thoughtful host. Plus after experiencing having a garage with a remote opener is now a must have especially in winter. We would stay here again.

Comfortable R&R

We enjoyed this home. It was quiet and comfortable. The layout of the cabin was very workable, and the kitchen seemed to have what you would need to cook a meal, although we did not do so. Hosts provided coffee, tea, and some snacks, which was a very nice touch. We appreciated having the spectrum cable TV as well as a good internet connection. One regret on a warm day was that we could not get windows open, and the screens on the patio doors were not workable. I suppose this does not matter during most seasons, but we would have enjoyed it since outdoor cushions and chairs were wet much of the time we were there. The place had easy access to town, although we did not walk it as we are getting up there in age! Young folks would have no problems. We had a nice relaxing few days. Thank you.

Better than advertised

I can only give 5 stars for this property since 10 is not an available choice. The cabin was all we could have hoped for, and more. A very comfortable and cozy get away, tucked nicely in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We enjoyed the convenience of being just a short drive from town, and the walk on the nearby Greenway was great. Lisa (the owner) was extremely friendly and accommodating... the personalized welcome to our family left for us on the kitchen table was an especially thoughtful touch. We would most certainly look to this property again and again for future trips to the area.

Cabin is tucked away in the woods but not far from the store or restaurants, best of both worlds! Clean and was already stocked with firewood and all the other supplies we needed for our stay. Lisa was very helpful during the process and answered any questions we had along the way. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to the mountains!

Best Spring Break Ever

A Frame of Mind was the perfect location for our family's spring break. We travelled from Tampa with our family of 4 and our pup (we were so grateful and excited we could bring him). Lisa was so helpful before, providing information on check-in, the home and the town. Check-in itself was a breeze. The driveway, however, is not for the faint of heart, especially at night lol But once we got more comfortable with it, it wasn't a big deal and gave us a great daily workout after walks. Lisa left the sweetest welcome, including snacks which the kids loved. The house is so well-equipped, especially for families (baby gear, eating utensils, board games and puzzles, etc.). The house is super clean and had everything we needed. We loved the fireplace and spent lots of time snuggling in front of it and watching movies. The home is within walking distance of the greatest greenway which included a playground, room to run, a dog park, and a creek the kids loved playing in. We loved Still Waters, Banner Elk Tap Room, the arcade and the ice cream shop. We skied at Beech Mountain, visited Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, Mast General Store, Sugar Creek Gem Mine, etc. We truly had the most wonderful vacation and it was thanks to Lisa and her beautiful home. We will definitely be back.
