Probably the most photographed property in town, located in the heart of Banner Elk behind the Village Shops. Walk to seven restaurants after a day of activities in the High Country!

Azalea Inn is beautifully restored with six bedrooms each with its own private bathroom, some with claw foot tubs, a whirlpool tub, private porch, FP, and ADA facilities. Plus there are three cottages and 2 suites with lodge décor (you’ll think you are in a log cabin)…FP, kitchens, king beds, and Jacuzzi tubs. All accommodations are for adult couples.

A hearty home cooked breakfast is served in the dining room and the sun porches. Eat with other guests or your own table for two. Check out our original animal sculptures and other collections in the inn. Read a book by the fireplace in the living room or by the flowers in the backyard gazebo in the summer. Get your daily fortune from our gypsy, Ruthie. Let the innkeepers pamper you, arrange for your local excursions, dining or just leave you alone....as you wish.
