An Afternoon at Banner Elk Winery
SIP. SAVOR. STAY AWHILE.Some call it the nectar of the gods, the way the ancient Greeks did when they raised a glass to Dionysus. Some, like the French, pair it with every meal as naturally as bread finds butter. Here in the High Country, we have our own approach:...
The Barlow | Best RV Camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains
There's a certain kind of RV park most of us have quietly made peace with: gravel pads packed a little too close together, a bathhouse that's seen better days, and Wi-Fi that gives up the exact moment you need it. The Barlow is not that place. Tucked into the...
As the Summer Heat Rises, We Cool Down at Elk River Falls
When Banner Elk starts creeping into the upper 80s, locals all seem to get the same idea: head for the water. Today, that means Elk River Falls. Just 10 miles from the Eagles Nest community, it's one of those places that reminds you how simple a summer afternoon can...
Red, White & Banner Elk | Your 4th of July Weekend Guide
As we walked around Banner Elk this week, there was already a buzz in the air. People were out enjoying the brick-lined streets, dogs were running through the park, and flags were popping up along porches and storefronts. In just a few days, Banner Elk will transform...
Best Restaurants in Banner Elk, NC: 13 Local Favorites Ranked by Reviews

Bayou Banner Elk | Southern Charm with a Cajun Kick
There's a spot smack in the middle of The Village of Banner Elk where the menu tastes like a road trip from East Texas to the French Quarter, the deck doubles as a dog park (well-behaved ones, leashed up, please), and breakfast is still going strong long after most...

200 Red Sky Parkway at The Lodges at Eagles Nest
Every so often a listing comes along that doesn't require much imagination, and 200 Red Sky Parkway is one of them. It's furnished, it's four years old, it sits on 2.19 acres in the Vineyard Reserve section of The Lodges at Eagles Nest, and it points west at the kind...
Inside 278 Timber Rock Trail at Eagles Nest
Every so often a home comes on the market up here that makes you stop scrolling. Not because of a splashy price tag (though at $4,200,000, this one certainly turns heads), but because it just gets what mountain living around Banner Elk is actually about. That's the...
Turnkey Mountain STR | The Lodges at Eagles Nest
Around here, we measure a home by a few things you won't find on a spec sheet. How the light lands in the late afternoon. Whether you can actually use the backyard or just admire it from a safe distance. How quickly you can get from your front door to a glass of...
Doe Run Cottage at The Lodges at Eagles Nest
If you've ever wandered the back roads off Hwy 194 and thought, "I could get used to this," Doe Run Cottage will not help you stay objective. Tucked into the Fish Camp corner of The Lodges at Eagles Nest — about three miles from downtown Banner Elk — this single-level...
Eagles Nest Banner Elk Home for Sale in the Vineyard Village
Every so often, a home comes on the market around here that makes even longtime locals do a double take. This one — a just-over-2,800-square-foot retreat in Vineyard Village at The Lodges at Eagles Nest — is exactly that kind of listing. If you're not familiar, Eagles...
Sorrel Sky Farm, an Equestrian Estate | Banner Elk NC
Here's a thing about Banner Elk that newcomers learn fast: the higher you climb, the rarer the real estate gets. Flat, usable pastureland at four thousand feet isn't exactly lying around waiting for you. The mountains we love so much are also the reason a genuine...
