Happy Ours - Banner Elk - Mountain Retreat

01/21/2025

“North Carolina has no shortage of picturesque mountain towns, but Boone tops the list… it’s all about “the greenery, the clean, crisp air, and the views. Also notable is its access to three different ski mountains during the winter, Grandfather Mountain and a handful of epic hikes during the summer, the most stunning fall foliage during autumn, and some of the best weather in the country during the spring. In short, it’s “an outdoor paradise and one of the most unique small Appalachian towns.”

We couldn’t agree more. Let Happy Ours - Banner Elk - Mountain Retreat be the place to rest your head when you are in town. https://www.vacasa.com/unit/113997

In a room full of Southerners, it would be nearly impossible to find two with the exact same definition of North Carolina.
