My family and I had a great experience. We were able to walk right down to the bunny slopes, which was super convenient. Mat was very friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to stay here again!
We had a great stay at this Beech Mountain condo. The place was super clean and about a 5 minute walk to the Carribean trail where you can easily ski to the base of the mountain. Conditions were pretty slushy, but that's to be expected in March. The condo was very cozy and well appointed and Matthew was an excellent host. I had a bit of trouble getting in when I first arrived (100% my fault) and Matthew responded within seconds of my reaching out to him for assistance.
The views from the condo were breathtaking! We had the best time checking out local shops in Beech Mountain and Banner Elk. Fred’s Mercantile had everything you could ever need or want and the history was amazing to learn about. The host was wonderful to work with and provided so much information of things to do and places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend!!
Everything was clean and just as pictured online. Getting in and out was easy and fast. Instructions were efficient and precise. We had everything that we needed. It was homey and comfy. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Went for skiing and spring break for the family. Great location and amenities. Close to everything and a great view of the mountains. Would definitely choose this rental again.
Property was clean, beautiful, and very convenient to slopes and shops. Host was great to work with and very accommodating. Look forward to staying again.
This was a perfect spot for us. Matt was wonderful at communication and we were in a prime spot for everything we wanted to do. Can’t wait to come back

I'm so glad to hear that you had a great getaway weekend with your friends. I've heard that a lot-- that the photos just don't do the place justice and it is so cozy and roomy. You're so right-- you can't beat the location. Take care, and please come back year after year. You all were great!

About the host
Hosted by Matthew Smith
I grew up in western NC, went to school and work in the Research Triangle area. I have made many great memories on Beech Mountain over those years, and I look forward to having you. I hope that you make many memories during your stay as well. I am committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
Why they chose this property
I chose to buy this home because I spent many years vacationing on Beech Mountain and have traveled throughout the High Country of NC and the Great Smokey and Blue Ridge areas of GA, VA and TN my whole life.
What makes this property unique
Its location within walking distance to town, restaurants right there, and the slopes of Ski Beech. Add the views from the living room, front deck and master suite, the comfy and airy interior, and I fall in love with it immediately every time I enter. I hope that you'll find the same.
