Location: Beech Mountain, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (Search for "Beech Mountain Bliss Vacation" on Google Maps)
Accommodations: 3-Level Chalet Style Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
True Bliss on Beech Mountain! Enjoy spectacular views from all 3 levels of our Alpine Chalet style condo, which is located just a couple of minutes from Ski Beech. We privately own and rent out our condo, as well as stay there ourselves when we get the chance - and with 2 spacious bedrooms and a king-sized loft, there's plenty of room for friends and family.
Our Beech Mountain condo is only a short drive from lots of different activities and attractions, including Sugar Mountain (a 20-min drive), Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Linville Caverns & Falls. And we're literally minutes from skiing, snowboarding, sledding, tubing, ice skating, hiking trails (including one trail head less than a mile's easy ramble from our front door), mountain biking, golf – not to mention a spectacular recreation center and the Beech Mountain Club, each of which offer a variety of indoor and outdoor facilities and programs that you can enjoy for a nominal fee.
Instead of settling for a cramped hotel room, come enjoy all the amenities of a year-round home. And because this is a home to our family, a lot of thought has gone into the practical necessities and the creature comforts that you want when you're atop a mountain. For the athletic, we offer a secure outdoor storage room for your skis and bikes. For the hungry, there is a well-appointed kitchen, complete with microwave, blender and a crock pot (as well as a great selection of restaurants nearby, offering both casual and more upscale fare). For the kids, there are books, games, and puzzles to be discovered in drawers and cupboards around the condo.
Come and enjoy this beautiful place, with its mile-high view and cozy-cottage interior. On cold mornings, step out onto the deck with a hot drink, gaze at the mountains, and breathe in the clean, crisp mountain air! When the high country temps become too real, you can quickly pop back inside to warm up by the fire (and still keep an eye on that view through all those windows). We've got electric heat in every room on all three floors, plus an attractive gas fireplace on the main floor, to keep all 1,500 square feet cozy and warm.
Parking is right in front. Just a few steps across and up to the door, and you (and your luggage) are in! Absolutely no catwalks, twisty icy paths, or precarious rotting log steps.
Inside, rustic painted wood walls and exposed wooden beams support a vaulted ceiling. A beautiful stone fireplace with gas logs graces the main living area (recently improved with new worry-free wood flooring), while a wall of windows, and a door out to the deck, allow you to survey the grandeur of the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond into Tennessee.
Above the main floor, a cozy loft accommodates a king sized bed (a brand-new Beautyrest) and en suite full bath. Downstairs boasts two spacious bedrooms, one with a king bed (another new Beautyrest), the other with 2 Extra Long twin beds (purchased Fall '07 from Original Mattress Factory), plus a second full bath. (Note: We have a "bed bridge" available upon request, which allows us to convert the two XL Twin beds into a third King-sized bed for you.)
Step outside from either of these bedrooms and enjoy a lovely view of the mountains from our patio. Two couches/beds (the Queen-sized is a pull-out, and the Double is a "click-clack") are also available in the living room on the main floor, on the same floor as the half-bath.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
Our family consists of my husband Alex and me, and our little girl, Emily. We live near Raleigh, NC, and feel fortunate to live in a State with such easy access to both the Mountains and the Coast.
Why the Owner Chose Beech Mountain
We discovered Beech Mountain, NC, through friends back in the Summer of 2006; and fell in love our first weekend there. From then on, we started a search for a little place we could call our own and finally found our little piece of Bliss that Fall. We escape to Beech Mountain whenever we can; but share it with others when we cannot. I have always joked that my ancestors probably lived on icebergs, which is why I find the sultry, mosquito-ridden Summers of the South a bit of a trial. On the Mountain, with its cooler temps, I can enjoy the outdoors in Summer again! And in the Winter, we're more likely to find snowy weather up on Beech than anywhere else in NC; so when the yen to sled, skate or ski strikes family & friends, our cozy condo is the natural place to be.
The Unique Benefits of this 3-Level Chalet Style Condo
Our favorite thing to do is sit on our deck and gaze at our spectacular view over the Tennessee Mountains. Whenever we bring along friends, we congratulate ourselves on our choice of condo, with stairs to the loft area, instead of a ladder, 2 1/2 baths, and our decision to furnish it with King-sized beds. Our wall of windows, vaulting ceilings and stone fireplace never fail to impress; and we always end up using our time there as an opportunity to make improvements and add amenities that make our stay there, as well as that of our guests, even more comfortable and convenient.
