My wife and I have had great stays in this property! This was our second. The only complaint is something none of us can control - the weather. Both times we have missed the snow by one day. Great hosts. Look forward to staying here again!

We loved the cabin and the Hosts! Communication was great! They made check-in and check-out a very smooth process for us, being first time users of Vrbo. The cabin was just what we were looking for. It was very clean and provided every amenity we needed for our 4-night stay. We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again in the future.

Great stay for our family. Short drive to Beech Mountain Ski Resort and other restaurants and attractions in the village of Beech Mountain. Also a short drive to numerous hiking trails. Abundant wildlife all over the mountain. Buy some ingredients to make s'mores at Fred's Mercantile and relax by the outdoor firepit.

Communication with host was excellent and lockbox key provided for an easy checkin. The cabin was as described and located in a large private developed area. We found the drive off of the main road to be a bit harried with sharp switchbacks and many side roads. Although the roads were well marked, we did not venture out after dark. A good choice for a quite relaxing stay.

Quiet & Cozy Getaway

We had a great stay at the cabin tucked back off a quiet road. The dogs loved hanging on the back deck looking for deer. The cabin was clean and stocked with everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Comfy and clean linens. Great communication with hosts and a great value. Would recommend to a friend or stay again!

Peaceful Cabin

We had a great stay at this cabin. We found a hiking trail near by and had a wonderful hike with our dog. The wood burning fireplace was fantastic! The bed was so comfortable! We sat on the back deck most of the time and enjoyed the cooler weather. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us, we will definitely be back!
