Banner Elk Winery & Villa is an upscale bed-and-breakfast nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just a five-minute drive from the small town of Banner Elk. This working winery is romantic, and each of the eight spacious suites has mountain views -- two even have fireplaces and most have jetted tubs. However, some rooms have tube TVs. Free breakfast gets high marks from guests, who can hang out around the fire-pit, stroll around the pond, or kick back in the outdoor hot tub. The fancy barn also makes this a popular spot for weddings. Unfortunately, the hotel lacks a restaurant and breakfast service may start too late for early risers.

This value hotel from the Best Western chain makes a convenient base for Banner Elk attractions like Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain ski resorts. The property has a mountain/hunting lodge vibe that's cozy and inviting, and offers a handful of perks like an outdoor heated pool (open seasonally) and a free breakfast with hot items. The fitness center is small and not well equipped; there are business facilities like meeting/event space and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. The 100 guest rooms are spacious, but dated and chainlike in terms of decor. They're equipped with a solid set of amenities, including flat-screen TVs, DVD players, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. As an alternative, the mid-range Blue Ridge Village offers rooms with kitchens, fireplaces, and laundry machines, but there's no free breakfast.
