Gorgeous, cozy home on Beech

Amazing home close to the slopes. We could not ski in or out per se but they have such wonderful touches here- especially the shower and coffee bar. So amazing! Loved it here!!! They had a Christmas tree and a warm fire place. Was so cozy! Highly recommend!

Beautiful, comfortable mountain retreat -- with a caution

This is a beautiful, comfortable home and we enjoyed our stay. The decor was very mountainy, the kitchen was well stocked, the furniture and beds were comfortable, and the linens and towels were appropriate. My caution to future renters: the outside decks and interior open staircase are a danger for kids (probably under age 8) and dogs. Do your homework and really study the 3d tour

Gorgeous Home

When we first walked in, we thought it seemed kind of small, until we realized that it goes down two stories into the side of the mountain, with the bedrooms and game room being on the lower levels. This was an absolutely beautiful and quiet place to stay. We had deer come right up to the balcony every morning, and we were able to watch people cycle down the side of the mountain and ride the ski lift back up. The community was very peaceful and the drive up and down to the home was beautiful! I do wish the location was a little more secluded, but since we were there for the Bristol NASCAR race, it was a great little getaway during our down time. The beds were unbelievably comfortable!

Beautiful location

This property is located in an awesome spot. When we arrived it looked like a winter wonderland. Everything was great. I will say the spiral staircase was a challenge keeping my three year old grandson off of but we worked it out. We were never able to get the logs started after checking everything but we still stayed warm. It would've been cozy if they worked. We had a hiccup and I locked us out of the house with my phone inside with the code to the door, but the manager (Vacasa) was quick in helping us get back in quickly. Would definitely stay here again!!

Exceptional location & property!

This is a 5 star property in a prime location on Beech Mountain. Clean and easy access on arrival, this could sleep 6 but we were only 2. 2 1/2 baths make it a bonus for multiple guests on this 3 floor property. Note to the owners: Front door weatherstripping is hanging loose, lock mortise in jamb had been split, perhaps from a forced entry by prior guest, suggest repair. Flag pole on front parking side deck was broken off on arrival, suggest repair. These are simply observations and recommendations, none of which affected our stay or use of the property. HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL BE BACK ON OUR NEXT TRIP TO THE BOONE/BEECH MTN AREA. AGAIN 5 STARS!!!

Hurricane of financial losses

The Hurricane washed away sections of two highways to get to the property. Vacasa was unhelpful, wouldn’t give me a refund and could only offer me weekday bookings as compensation. Because I didn’t pay extra for insurance I get screwed and lose $700 because of a natural disaster! Terrible customer service.
