Cabin with Long Range Views, Hot Tub, Game Room

Escape to the mountains at Thistle Do Nicely, a spacious and upscale cabin just minutes from skiing, hiking, tennis, golf, pickleball, and both Banner Elk's and Beech Mountain’s best dining and shopping. With open living spaces, a game room, wood-burning fireplace, a brand-new Bullfrog hot tub, and wrap-around decks with sweeping mountain views, this home is perfect for families and groups looking for a true mountain getaway.

The Space:

The main floor welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, an open-concept kitchen, dining area, and great room with fireplace — all filled with natural light and mountain views from the wall of windows. The primary king suite is also located on the main floor, offering no-steps convenience.

Upstairs and throughout the home, you'll find:

• 2 King Suites (one on the main floor, no steps)
• 1 Queen Bedroom
• 1 Full Bedroom with a window reading nook
• 1 Loft Sleeper area

Unwind in the game room with a pool table, stream your favorite shows on Smart TVs throughout the home, or soak under the stars in the brand-new Bullfrog hot tub. The wrap-around decks include a covered porch with a built-in BBQ and refrigerator, ideal for morning coffee, lunches, or dinners with a view!

Other Things to Note

⚠️ 4WD or AWD strongly recommended — especially during winter months for Beech Mountain and this property's secondary grass driveway. (Primary 2-car driveway is gravel and on main level, resulting in easy in-and-out access).
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We enjoyed our stay, roomy, clean and nice house but the hot tub water did not look very clean so unfortunately we decided not to take a chance and use it.

We had an incredible stay at your beautiful cabin in Beech Mountain. We loved the views from every window in the house. This cabin is perfect for large families, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. The cabin was well stocked, clean, and felt like home. Nick was a great host. We would definitely recommend this vacation spot!

The host was great; he always had quick response time and tried to resolve my problems. The view was beautiful and the house was lovely. My kids and grandkids had a blast . The only reason I'm not giving it a five star is because the weekend we were there the hot tub was not working correctly. That was one of the reasons we booked this particular house but as a pool owned I understand that things just happen. We would definitely stay there again.

The host was exceptional and made sure that our stay was perfect. The host communicated well and went above and beyond when one of the amenities was not available. The house was perfect for what we needed. There were five of us and there was plenty of space to relax and not be on top of each other. The basement was a fun place to spend the evening playing pool and watch the Olympics on tv. Beech mountain was five minutes away and with it being that close it gave the crew the opportunity to come back to the house for lunch and get back on the slopes quickly. Four wheel drive is very important in the winter. The driveway is steep and was covered with snow and ice. It’s a tricky one to maneuver.
