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! The perfect way to escape a hot and sticky summer! During the dog days of summer, our Beech Mountain condo in the North Carolina High Country is an oasis of mild non-humid days, magical misty mornings, and refreshingly cool mosquito-free evenings. 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 Bliss 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. In the summer, you've got the New River Zoo, local Farms, and historic homes to tour, musical concerts and festivals to attend, vineyards, shops and museums to explore. And we're literally minutes from fantastic hiking trails (including some trail heads less than a mile's ramble from our front door), mountain biking, superb golfing at the nearby Beech Mountain Club, and a spectacular recreation center which offers 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 house.
Come and enjoy this beautiful place! In the summer, there's no need for air conditioning because it rarely gets above the mid 70's on the mountain! Step out onto the deck, gaze at the mountain view, and relax in comfort. And if the evenings get a little chilly (as they can do in Spring and early Summer), you can quickly pop back inside to warm up by the fire (and still keep an eye on that view through all those windows).
Parking is right in front. Just take a few steps across the lawn and up to the door, and you (and your luggage) are in! No catwalks, twisty 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.
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 (TVs & DVD Players in each), 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.
