Wonderful location with stunning views of the river. The Innkeeper, Bobbie, was hospitable, super friendly and made the best breakfasts!! Homemade zucchini bread and blueberry donuts were our favorites. The lodge was very clean and beautifully decorated. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I stayed 3 nights in The Cascade Room. Upon arrival we were in awe of how beautiful the lodge was, both inside and outside. My favorite was the outside porch, which was huge, comfortable and most of all relaxing. We had two of our three breakfasts out there. Bobbi, the Innkeeper, is a true delight. She is full of information and wow, can she cook!! We can’t wait to return.

Our first trip back in 5 years and everything was perfect again!! The hospitality, ambiance, quiet peaceful solitude, and the river running beside the lodge was awesome. Big shout out to Miss Bobbie and her staff. No one does it better! The morning breakfast was beyond amazing. I brought my flyrod and managed to catch and release a very nice rainbow trout. Watched deer in the yard while I fished. Just beautiful.

Location is wonderful, accommodations are wonderful (Mountain Laurel Room) and Bobbie is a superb hostess … she has intimate knowledge of the area, contacts/advice Re. the best restaurants, advice Re. the best hiking/waterfalls, yada yada yada. One could not ask for a better experience. Mid October visit hit wonderful peak colors. Breakfast is absolutely outstanding. It is served at 9 AM , so if one wants to get up and “hit the trails” before 8 AM. you’ll miss it … but it’s also wonderful just to sit on the deck, listen to the water, and the birds, read a book, have a glass of wine, yada yada yada.

My husband and I stayed at this charming B&B for the second time and LOVED it as much as the first. The lodge is stunning and makes you feel secluded in the mountains. The view is beautiful and peaceful. Bobbie serves a DELICIOUS breakfast and ensures your needs are met your entire stay. I highly recommend this B&B for your next stay in Banner Elk. You are close enough to town to enjoy a variety of restaurants for dinner. I promise you wil be planning your next trip as soon as you leave!

Amazing gem in Banner Elk. Beautiful lodge tucked away next to a lovely river. Bobbi is absolutely fantastic, and a certified chef. Every day breakfast is a treat - homemade bread, homemade james, eggs with truffles - culinary masterpieces. Rooms are very comfortable, spacy, and clean. Minutes away from skiing, restaurants, etc.

Extremely quiet, clean, welcoming, and absolutely beautiful. Our breakfast was scrumptious and superb, and, everyone treated us wonderfully. The entire property is so pretty, and tucked away; secluded from all the outside noise. We really did not want to leave. We hope to be able to visit and stay at The Lodge at River Run again!
