Neighborhood highlights

Banner Elk is a popular getaway near Boone in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the North Carolina High Country. It’s a place that blends small town relaxation with the amenities of a larger city.

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

Banner Elk’s tourism motto is “Escape. Unwind. Indulge.” This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Hike easy greenways or tackle challenging trails among the highest peaks east of the Rockies. Go for thrills via a white-water paddling adventure or navigate the topography on a mountain bike. On the lighter side, spend a day visiting the town’s unique shops, boutiques, spas & restaurants.

A thriving food scene awaits. In fact, Banner Elk is known as the culinary hot spot of the NC High Country. Food aficionados indulge in everything from five-star white-linen dining to upscale casual to down-home cooking to tasty delis. An array of wineries & craft breweries lie within a 15-minute radius of downtown.

Famed mountain attractions like Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tweetsie Railroad & The Blowing Rock are just a short drive away.

With so many things to see & do (& eat), Banner Elk provides an ideal getaway for couples, families, adventure seekers & baby boomers.
