Also, the little FLAG that is on the trash bins HAS TO BE UP or the town garbage guys won't check to see we have garbage that needs to be taken!

This A frame is a sweet spot in a gorgeous town. We love Beech Mountain! It's very close to the ski mountain and trail heads. It is very much a family home with broken in comfort. I gave the cleanliness a 4 because it felt like it had not been opened up in a while and the fans had a ton of dust in them. It would be helpful for guests to understand how to work the whole house fan as well as how to cool the home in the hottest part of the afternoon in the summer. When the sun beats in the A frame windows it gets very toasty! It truly felt like we were staying with friends and we very much enjoyed the front seating area and back decks as well as the family room in the basement. Plenty of room for our party of 6 with everyone having their own space to rest and unwind.
