Cozy Mountain Retreat

The house is in very close proximity to Beech Mountain, NC and area attractions such as Grandfather Mountain and winery, skiing, hiking, Boone, etc. The house was very cozy and it had plenty of room for 8 adults. Owner and property manager were very responsive to questions. Would recommend to friends and family.

Nice little getaway with friends.

I organized a trip with longtime friends and the home is everything it stated in the description. Plenty of space, well stocked kitchen, beautiful view from the porch and easy communication with the owner along with an easy check in. We even had five deer arrive to bid us farewell today. Beautiful area!!

Relaxation

The stat was very quiet and peaceful. The view from top of the mountains was amazing. We as a family had a great time just enjoying each other’s company. My 3 nephews between the ages of 3 and 8 enjoyed themselves being close to the friendly deers .

Bristol Race Weekend Getaway

Property is well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. View is awesome, plenty of deer to feed and enjoy. We played golf at Sugar Mtn twice, went to Fred's Mercantile which has everything you need and then some. We picked the house based on proximity to Bristol Motor Speedway which was easy to get too. We had an awesome stay, would come back again and will recommend as well. Thanks for making our stay great!!!!

Nice home with great view

The house was beautiful. The AC worked well. It was, however, not cleaned well. And the bottom level smelled musty. Deer came to the house every day and we even saw a bear that tried to enter one of the vehicles. The view of the mountains is nice.

Was not prepared for how high up the mountain it was and the curvy roads but the cabin itself was very nice and very roomy. I do wish they gave two sets of towels per person instead of one. And also more than one roll of toilet paper. Kitchen very well stocked, nice washer and dryer. Huge room in basement

Weekend trip

The porch area is fantastic, it’s wide enough to even sit outside to enjoy the rain but stay dry. Kitchen is really well equipped. Host was quick to respond which is greatly appreciated. Read the listing description about the driveway. Easy to navigate in summer (2 cars and 2 SUVs) without issues. Plenty of space for folks to spread out.

Long Weekend with Friends

We all loved our stay at this house. A nice family of deer greeted us when we pulled in the driveway. The house was very spacious and the deck served as the focal point of our stay because the weather was so pleasant outside. And we all loved sleeping at night with the windows opened. No need for the A/C to be on in the summer time.

Family Christmas Break!

We arrived on Beech Mt on Dec 28th. It was so nice to see snow. We had difficulty getting up the driveway but the sweet cleaning lady’s husband helped put salt down. The house was just as described.. beautiful and had everything we needed for a great family get away. It was so spacious and comfy. The scenery was magnificently beautiful! The kids loved feeding the deer! I would highly recommend this beautiful cabin for rest, relaxation and great family bonding.

This was our second time renting this house. That's all you need to know. Would you rent a house two years in a row if it was anything less that great?

My host was great, the management company wasn’t as helpful as needed. We asked for a few things and the owner had to help let us in instead of the management company communicating as needed. I also realize it was Thanksgiving week but we still had a rental so making sure the renters have access to what is needed would be helpful. Debbie is a great owner and do a great job answering questions as needed. House was well stocked and we made some sweet memories as a family!
Deer were a fun addition and ability to feed them!
They came up to the door.

Loved the house, great view very clean&pleasant.

The house was just as described. It was very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. The beds were comfortable. They provided coffee, trash bags, bath soap...not expected but appreciated. There was a campfire with benches outside and a campfire was already set up for us it was great. I really appreciated that there was a mix up (our fault) and we hadn't paid the balance. The owner emailed me and gave me her number. I called and worked it out and she was most gracious. We would definitely recommend this property.

Great house in great location. Comfortable and spacious. Cleanliness was lacking… 5+ bags of trash in garage had whole house smelly, dirty toilets & coffee pot & cups were in cabinet but were dirty & put away unwashed- owner was very responsive- had trash picked up immediately- offered to have someone come & clean, normal cleaner had medical issues & hired a temporary cleaner who did a poor job. Owner refund my cleaning fee of $150 & made every effort to make it right.

Family vacation

We found out about Berch Mountain in 2011 from a relative that was in college in Duke University in Durham NC, ee decide to go and we love it, at that moment we stayed in a Hotel, then in 2015 we decided to come back as we were in Florida on vacation with the kids at Disney, we decided to Road trip and was great, 11 hours but stopping and we liked it. we found out about the house from a friend that recommend the web site, ee pick the right house and we love it, it was very comfortable, spacious, clean and with all we needed. The kids were happy they saw deer almost every day outside the house, one day we saw 11 at a time. Close to ski resort it is and to everything, we eill love to get back, and ee eill recomend for sure. We had good snow falling on January 7 so everything was covered, it was amazing.

Thank you for the review and please tell your friend we also said thank you. We try our best to make sure the home has everything that you could need. Isn't it amazing to look out and see 11 deer standing on your property, its a slice of heaven. We hope to see you again next year!

Wonderful Home (Snow Chains or 4WD definitely required)

We had a great Ski Vacation in this home and did not want for anything... except maybe a shorter driveway. The house is beautifully furnished, fully equipped and features an amazing view from every window. The Great Room had plenty of comfortable seating and the Dining Table seats 8, which was perfect. Beech Mountain was closest, but Sugar Mountain was only about 10 minutes further. All that being said, the weather conditions upon our arrival created a bit of a challenge. Obviously, one expects to encounter snow and winter weather in the Mountains, but we did not anticipate the severity of road conditions to the house (which may have been atypical). Without chains, we simply would not have made it, so take that Warning seriously when you plan. We were warned that the driveway was steep, but we were not aware of how long it was. Due to the build-up of snow and ice, it was unusable, which required us to park at the bottom and carry EVERYTHING about 60 yards uphill. If you plan to travel during the Winter with anybody who cannot hike up this driveway in the event of severe weather, this is not the house for you. However, if you are physically able and you enjoy a little adventure here and there (as we do), this is the perfect Mountain Getaway!
Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2020
Thank you Eva for the review and I'm glad that you and your family had such a great stay. I think 2014 will go down as one of the hardest winters that Beech Mountain has ever seen, in fact I think it was -8 degrees (the low of the day) at that house, this is not a typical winter. Normally 4WD or Chains is all that is needed if there is a really heavy snow but with all of the ice that they had the weekend of your stay made it a hard climb. Again I'm glad that you all had a great vacation at Beech Mountain and that you loved the house.

The deer!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! It was clean, well-equipped, beautiful views, and a great location. 3 king beds! We were two families with young kids up for the weekend to ski and sled. We were lucky enough to get a few inches of snow our first morning. The highlight of the trip was most definitely the deer. They are around all the time. We fed them chopped up apples and at least 20 of them showed up for our snacks. They weren’t afraid of the kids running around either. Amazing experience! We will be back for sure!

Beech Mountain

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was as advertised! The amenities were exceptional! Plenty of room for a family gathering! Everyone had their own room and bathroom! Enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset each day. The mornings and evenings were cozy—particularly enjoyed the gas log fireplace! Definitely recommend 4-wheel drive vehicle in the winter even though we only had a 2-wheel drive during our stay. Two-wheel is possible when no snow is in the forecast. Appreciate Debbie’s timely response when I called! Loved the deer visits each day!
