Vesper Lodge, tucked into the Village of Eagles Nest, is the perfect mix of cozy and stylish—just five minutes from downtown Banner Elk.
The living room has a warm, welcoming vibe with a gas log fireplace, a wall-mounted flatscreen TV, a comfy sofa, and two leather chairs. It flows right into the open kitchen and dining area, making it easy to hang out together. The kitchen has a big granite island with three barstools, and the dining table seats six—perfect for sharing meals or playing games after dinner.
The main-level king suite is calm and inviting, with a ceiling fan, and a big TV. The attached bathroom has a double granite vanity and a beautiful green tiled shower that adds a little luxury.
Head downstairs for even more space to relax. The den has another gas fireplace, a flatscreen TV, a big cozy sofa, and leather chairs—great for movie nights or just lounging. There’s a fun bunk nook with two twin-over-twin built-in bunks that’s great for kids or extra guests. Just past the wet bar, you’ll find another king bedroom with a ceiling fan and TV, plus a bathroom with double granite sinks, a soaking tub, and a tiled shower. Across the den, there’s a third king suite with its own bathroom, TV, and ceiling fan. The bathroom features granite counters and a tiled shower.
Outside, the main-level deck is a great hangout spot. It’s partially covered, with comfy seating around a gas fireplace and a TV above the mantle. There’s also a dining table and a grill, perfect for meals outside or just enjoying the mountain air.
Down on the lower level, there’s easy access to a fourth gas fireplace with more seating—a great place to chill after a long day of adventure. Vesper Lodge is the kind of mountain getaway where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy the peace and beauty of the High Country.
