The location of the condo was perfect! Clean, open floor plan with the perfect cozy mountain vibe. We loved the space and especially loved the spacious rooms, closets, bathrooms and you can’t beat two king sized beds! We will absolutely rent this condo again the next time we visit Beech Mountain! Our stay couldn’t have been better!

Thank you so much for sharing, we hope that you will visit us again soon!
Clean, spacious property in a great location. Would certainly recommend this property to anyone looking for a property to sleep 2-6 people.
Lack of AC was a bit of a concern given the heat wave occurring, but a front came thru and the weather cooled off significantly just as we arrived, so no issues on that.

Thanks for sharing! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great stay and its our hope to see you again soon.
This condo was much improved since May 2023. It was very clean and put together. Since we cook when we are there, I did notice some of the lower cabinets still need repair.
While we were there it snowed and there were days when we were in the clouds but the clear days were fabulous. We will be back.

Thank you for sharing. We are delighted to hear that overall the home met your needs. Your other points are noted. Its our hope that you will visit us again in the very near future.
We have stayed at this property several times and have always enjoyed the condo. That being said this time there was a Christmas wreath on the entry door and inside the condo a couple of Christmas decoration, the master shower floor is cracked, a runner for drawer in the kitchen was broken so the drawer was unusable, there were noticeble chips in many china pieces, and the pilot light was on and there was a gas smell. So we were a little disappointed this time. The condo just needs a little TLC. We will be back - we love it so.

Great place, great location
Awesome condo in a great location to explore all of Beech Mountain. The unit is well furnished with everything you need for a mountain getaway. We stayed in for all our meals and appreciated that the kitchen is stocked with all the essentials to prepared any meal. We enjoyed the great mountain views from the deck especially while it was snowing. The unit was very clean and comfortable with updated furnishings. We will look to stay here again on a future trip.

Last minute rentals for Fall
It was a great place for us to stay, it was very simple email instructions to our key code to check in and check out without any difficulties. We loved the decor, the quiet area and the beautiful view.
It felt like home away from home and nestled in a perfect area close to the popular towns nearby.
Would definitely stay here again and would recommend this stay to anyone who's ready to have a nice peaceful getaway.
Thank you from the Freeze family for sharing your home with us!
