Hot tub does not work, management will tell you to google how to fix it. Furniture run down and ripped. Only one side of the grill works. TV's don't even have plugs they are just decoration, I guess. Trash was in the kitchen full when we got there. Dryer did not work had to drive 25 minutes down the mountain to get towels. Management does not call back they text you. This property is management by VACASSA and they do not care about customers.

Awesome place
When I first booked this place I was a bit worried because of the previous reviews. When I got to the home it was clean and in great condition. The hot tub was the cleanest hot tub I have ever been in. Very beautiful secluded place on beech mountain. Will definitely be renting this place again!

Girls trip
Gas ran out dryer quit working, fireplace not working , hot tub not working , mattress and pillows need replacing curtains in sleeping areas would be nice
Property had many challenges. There were over 20 steps to access the main level from the parking. Once inside, the stairs were very narrow and steep which could cause concern for anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen would accommodate two people at most. The tv and dvd were not connected and we couldn't find cords to connect. The gas grill only had about 25% of the burner working. The hot tub lost heat all weekend even while turning the heat up. The online pics are not an accurate representation of the property.
We got to beech mountain about an hour and half early for check in. Roughly 230. We messaged at 3 pm to check about early check in. Was not available which is fine so we went to eat. While paying around 4:16 pm I got an email saying the stay was cancelled due to a broken sewer pipe which I know is completely unexpected except for I messaged them a hour prior and they could have given me a heads up a notice or anything that the house was not available. They set me up with a house that is an hour away and was our only option so we proceeded to go there in 5 minutes before pulling into the house they canceled us again. My family of four after driving 6 hours we're now stranded in beech mountain for the weekend. When I asked the lady on the phone about any other options even if it was just a one bedroom or something. All she just kept saying is well, We issued a refund. I don't care about a refund. I care about my family of four and a town with horrible reception so I couldn't even look at things to try and find somewhere else. We sat in a parking lot for 2 hours calling all around. I understand that this might not reflect on the owners or the house at all, but the management of the house has really got to do better, especially with customer service.

Great if you dont want the amenities advertised
This place is great for a vacation to Beech Mountain/Banner Elk. There was plenty of room for our 2 families and the kids loved the loft. Location is great and it was so nice to have 3 bathrooms. The place was clean and there were plenty of towels/sheets. Views are lovely and we really enjoyed the fire pit. However, we booked the property specifically for the hot tub, fire place, and washer/dryer. The fire place and dryer didnt work and the hot tub was off and luke warm when we got there. It didnt heat up until our 4th (and last) day. Also, there are a lot of stairs down to the property. When we arrived they were covered in snow. I would think they would have been scraped/swept as it poses a significant fall risk. Lastly, when we arrived, the heat was off. It was 40 degrees outside and not much warmer inside. It took the whole first night to get the house to heat up. When we called the property company for help, we couldnt get anyone on the phone. We texted with what seemed like an off shore customer service rep who told us the local team would be in touch but, we were never contacted. We did get a discount but, it wasnt equitable to the inconvenience, IMO. If you dont need/care about the fireplace, washer/dryer, or hot tub, this place is perfect. If you do need/care about those amenities, I would book somewhere else.

Great cabin
This is a great, simple house in the mountains. If you are not looking for a palace, but something clean, comfortable and affordable it will be great.

Horrible Condition
This house was not what we expected. We actually left 2 days early and rented another place since we could not get a refund. The whole house had random broken things like closet doors off the rails. Towel holders broken. The house is just in really poor condition.

Not impressed.
Relatively to other places, this one was relatively cheap, and one of the places I could find on a very short notice. That's about all good there is to say about it.
It was dirty, and even lacking basic kitchens utensils, such as glasses. According to the renter, the place has 8 beds... but it surely does not even have enough drinking glasses for that.
Speaking of which; perhaps it would be a good idea to have a dish brush, when there is no dishwasher??
Clean that darn carpet, for Pete´s sake, and give the sofa chair a good scrub, while you are at it!
Don't get me started on the quality of the TV...
The place will do, if you are 8 college students planning to get wasted, during a weekend. If you have passed that age, I recommend you find someplace else.

4 out of 5 stars
We had a great stay at this property! There was a couple things that the pictures and the description lack. This property is very outdated and smaller than it is portrayed in the photos. The kitchen can really only fit 1 or 2 people in it. The bathroom in the hallway is only big enough to fit 1 person but both the other bathrooms are normal sized! The property was clean upon arrival but lacked extra toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and only included 6 towels for the entire home so we definitely recommend bringing extras. There is a hot tub located on the bottom floor deck that was not in the description which it awesome but it was at 60 degrees upon arrival and took almost 3 days to heat up to 100. However we did love the convenience of being 5 minutes from the slopes and wouldn’t have a negative thing to say about that! Overall, this property was great to accommodate our group!

Not As Advertised
When our family arrived, the exterior looked nice and we were excited. However, when we walked inside, it was a different story. The smell of mold/mildew was extreme, and even with opening all windows to air the place out, our allergies were off the charts the entire time. The place was very unclean with layers of dust on window treatments, etc. The residence is in need of major updating and maintenance, as it is very outdated. The photos provided on the listing were wide-angle, brightened and washed out to where the actual condition and room size wasn't visible. Walls are discolored and marred, furniture is stained and worn out, window screens are torn and hanging loose, etc. Having no AC, we had to use provided fans to air the place out and provide some circulation, but out of three fans, one didn't work at all and one two-blade unit only had one functional fan blade. The exhaust fan in the hall bathroom was partially functional to where it didn't run at all the first day we were there, but did the second day. The downstairs basement was uninhabitable because the smell and dampness was so extreme, and the air hockey table pictured was not functional. None of the remotes worked except for the one for the living room TV. Batteries were dead in the rest, including the one for the fireplace, which we were unable to use. We were excited for this trip, but the condition of the place left us feeling ill after having spent so much money on this stay.

Charming mountain get away
The house was a charming, mountain home, with well stocked kitchen, and lots of rooms for my big family. We loved that it snowed and the deer actually came up and ate from our hands!

Great location
Great location does sleep 11 with the foldout, needs a lot of work. Main bathroom is very tight and shower is very tight had to bend down to wash face and hair. Kitchen is super tight, two grown men could barely fit in it at the same time. Stairs to upper level and lower level were tight and the air hockey table doesn't work and from the looks of it hasn't for a long time. Great view and location with lots of wildlife. Had deer eating from my hand.

Small place needs a little tlc
I always wipe down before touching/using anything table was dirty couches had dog/cat hair some chairs were broken outside and inside grill super thick dirty no sofa beds like they listed air hockey broken dryer doesn’t work house has odor needs an AC for summer doesn’t have where to dispose of trash Refrigerator didn't work I texted them they didn’t solve the issue or get back to me top shower was leaking through sealing to bottom room near bed I notified them someone came in and said a plumber would be out to fix I also told him once again about refrigerator he checked and nobody didn’t come back to fix anything sink in main bedroom as clogged we fixed it. Overall the house was left super clean than what we arrived to. Ive stayed at many properties in NC they all have a welcome letter, things to do around, check out instructions this property doesn’t have anything. The only positive that I have for this property is the encounter with the deers they are friendly we were able touch
