Neighborhood

Cool Change is nestled in the Mountain Meadows subdivision, a quiet, HOA-regulated community that beautifully blends year-round residents, seasonal homeowners, and a handful of short-term rentals. Homes here sit on generously sized, multi-acre lots, giving each property plenty of privacy and breathing room. Nature is very much part of the neighborhood charm — don’t be surprised if you spot deer, wild turkey, rabbits, or even the occasional black bear wandering through. It’s the kind of setting where mountain wildlife and mountain living go hand in hand.

Guest Access

All spaces are available except for locked owner's closets. Feel free to enjoy the entire property!

Getting to and around Cool Change is easy with a car — the home sits near NC 184 and NC 105, the main routes through Banner Elk’s High Country.

Parking is available at the property, with street parking nearby (check local short-term rental rules).
