Beautiful home for a cozy, family vacation!!

We stayed at this gorgeous home on Beech Mountain and had an amazing time! Our dogs loved the daily hikes, we loved the coziness of the cabin and our son REALLY loved the video games downstairs! The owner was sweet, extremely helpful and it’s nice staying in a home that you can tell has been well loved. Fantastic home and we’re so glad we found this place for our vacation!!

Great hosts, always prompt with responses. This is our 5th stay at this cabin, but first time with the new hosts. They made wonderful upgrades with the game room, added a heater, and new hot tub. We arrived with the hottub guy cleaning it and making sure everything was great at our cabin rental. The grandkids love this place, the game room and the woods to play in too. Only 8/10s of mile to Beech Mtn Ski parking. Perfect for the 10 of us! We will be back!

Great ski vacation

Charming cabin feel with several amenities such as games and arcade machine. Close to Beech Mountain ski resort. Enjoyed the setting and seeing lots of deer. Four wheel drive recommended in winter as roads in neighborhood can be snow covered. Very well suited for our dogs. Would definitely choose it again.

We usually stay at a different VRBO down the road but it was booked. This was the first here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owner is very responsive with any emails I sent. The teens enjoyed the game room and I enjoyed watching all the deer.

Fun weekend trip!

This home is perfect for a group of 7 and a dog or more (that's all we had). The kids had a blast picking out where they were each sleeping. Between the beauty of nature and the arcade in the lowest level, this house was exactly what we needed. There was plenty of entertainment and room for all. We hope to come back to this beautiful home again. We really appreciated the perfect spot to relax and stay cool!

Spontaneous family getaway

Enjoyed our last minute, long Fourth of July weekend! Brought our four kids dog. House was spacious and in a beautiful community. I felt safe walking alone and letting kids play outside while I enjoyed my coffee! Lots of trails and exploring in the community.Location was just an hour from tweetsie railroad and Buckeye Lake was perfect for a short waterfall hike with four young kids.Elaine was easy to communicate with and shared tons of recommendations for nearby grocery, hikes, and firework! We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here at Beech Mountain.

80's weekend at Beech Mountain!

Really enjoyed our traditional 80's weekend trip to Beech Mountain to visit with friends and listen to the band Cassette Rewind. Some of our Children came up from Clemson and got to enjoy the weekend with us. The house was awesome. Very accommodating. We stayed at the same house five years ago. We will keep it on our list for future trips to Beech. Thank you!
