BTW, it's not a Holiday Inn. It's a Best Western where everyone stays.

I think your choices are very limited.

See this map. Click on the pushpin for info.

Anyone know the name of that lodge sitting above Banner Elk. Looks pricey and more like a fancy ski-lodge.
Plus you get a nice windy hill road to and from Party Central.
Think this may be it.

Blue Ridge Village
Rt 1 Hwy 184
Banner Elk, NC 28604

I posted 4 or 5 bed and breakfasts for you in the first thread you posted about SITM accomodations for your wife. What happened with that?

Some of us remember it when it was the Holiday Inn. Fondly.

T'was a Holiday Inn till all those 928 hooligans swarmed the premises.
Remember the morning afters and all them empty beer bottles all over the hotel patios/walkways.

If it weren't for our charming good looks (the car, I mean), we'd NEVER be asked back.
