The perfect place for a Skiing, Spring, Summer or Fall getaway. Enjoy the charm of the Town of Beech Mountain with its winter wonderland setting during skiing months as well as unhurried pace and cool temperatures during our non-ski season. The town of Beech Mountain is the highest incorporated city east of the Mississippi River with year-round comfortable temperatures (OK-maybe the ski season temperatures are darn cold, but it is winter on a mountain after all).

4900+ square foot log home in moderately wooded setting located nearby town's recreational facilities and 2.1 miles from Ski Beech entrance.

Home's exterior is fieldstone and cedar shake. The Lodge's interior, which is almost exclusively wood, creates rustic atmosphere with modern conveniences. Wood beamed ceilings throughout. Many of the walls are 16'-24' thick hand-hewn logs. Interior materials are recycled from 148 year-old grist mill located in Chatam, Virginia; the 142 year-old Reedy Fork Mill formerly outside Winston-Salem, NC; and, a barn of unknown age and origin.

Living room, dining room, and kitchen floors are hardwood (area rug covers almost all of living room); all halls and bedrooms are carpeted and bathrooms are ceramic tiled.

Large living room with over-sized wood burning fireplace (firewood provided). Dining room is 10' x 35' and seats 30 at one sitting. Kitchen has flat-surface stove top, separate flat-surfaced stove with self-cleaning oven, combination microwave/range hood and two GE refrigerators with icemakers. Wood deck is 18' x 18' with perimeter bench seating and over-sized commercial gas grill. Ten bedrooms contain ten full-size beds and ten queen-size beds, three adult-size bunk beds as well as a twin-size sofa bed.

TV room has 55" Samsung flat panel smart TV with YouTube TV digital streaming service, high-speed broadband internet access, VCR/DVD player and surround sound system as well as a queen-size sleeper sofa, which may be used as eleventh bedroom. Third floor hallway has foyer with large window seat, sofa, and 40' flat panel TV with YouTube TV and a PlayStation 4 game system.

Off-street parking for up to eleven or fourteen vehicles (dependent upon vehicle size)..

About the host

Hosted by John Warthman

Host profile image
The Warthman Family-Kay, John, Jonathan, Josh and his wife, Natalie-own the Lodge. Kay is a long-ago retired nurse, who devoted her time to parenting and now focuses on church related activities. John is a retired real estate property management exec., who oversaw management of 17,000+ apartments, 3,800+ condominiums, 1 million+ square feet of office space and a number of home owner associations in a 30+ year career.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home when we lived in Charlotte and our oldest son was just born. We had visited the mountains during the summer and fell in love with Beech Mountain. A subsequent ski trip further cemented that feeling. During John's summers of his first school years, he lived with his grandparents in 5-bedroom converted stone barn. The Lodge reminded him of those wonderful childhood memories. With the help of his contractor brother Bob, he bought, refurbished, and expanded it as well as added a stone facade to the majority of the house during weekends for 8 months to bring his vision to fruition.

Because we've lived in GA for many years now, we've been unable to enjoy the Lodge and its peaceful setting as much as we'd like. However, over the years we've owned and operated the Lodge, we've been privileged to serve many families and groups. Many of them have returned again and again causing us to think of them as extended family. So, we derive pleasure from the enjoyment they experience as well as the relationships we've formed over those years.

What makes this property unique

The setting of the Lodge combined with materials contained within it just give us the feeling of living in another, less hurried time. However, it's just 2.1 road miles from the busy Beech Mountain Resort ski slopes. During the non-ski season, there's a large array of nearby activities and attractions available. We think it's the perfect combination of yesteryear atmosphere combined with those many nearby attractions and modern conveniences.
