Resort News

Renovations and refurbishments in buildings 24 and 30 will begin in January.

Several months ago we announced that the Blue Ridge Village in Banner Elk, N.C., is undergoing renovations in BRV II units. The renovated units feature new cabinets, appliances, furniture, flooring, flat screen televisions, granite countertops, remodeled bathrooms and energy-saving thermostat systems. These units are a step up in luxury and comfort for all of our owners, members and guests who visit the Blue Ridge Village.

Renovations in one 3-bedroom unit, three 2-bedroom units and four 1-bedroom units (eight units total) in building seven are complete and open for occupancy.  Renovations are currently underway in nine units in building 10 and should be complete by the end of August, including six two-bedroom units and three one-bedroom units.

Two units in building 11 - a one-bedroom and two-bedroom - are open as models if you wish to preview the renovations on your next visit to the resort.
