We absolutely loved Beech Haus! The deer met us as we pulled in, which made our trip! There were plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone. The staircases are a little narrow but we didn’t mind. The house was a quick simple drive to the Land of Oz. The host stayed in contact throughout the entire trip. We would definitely recommend!!

By far one of the cleanest places we have ever booked. High quality cookware and dishes. Comfy, plush bedding. They had absolutely everything needed to make Thanksgiving dinner for our family. Cutest little spot right in front of a cozy fireplace!

We had a great stay at Beech Mountain! There were deer all around and they came right to the door to eat carrots. The area was beautiful and the chalet accommodated us well. The fireplace made the chalet feel very cozy. The table was great for game play and meals. All of the beds were super comfortable except for the basement bed which was very firm and needed a mattress topper. We had a great stay with plenty of great family time.

Hey, those deer visits are truly magical. So glad they made your stay extra special! We'll definitely look into the basement mattress to make it just as comfy for the next guests. 🦌

Relaxing Getaway

Everything about this place is accommodating and welcoming. We had a large group, 4 adults and 6 kids from teens to infants, and this fit all of our needs. The location is beautiful and secluded, a perfect spot. The nearby town was so cute! The host was excellent and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

Had the best time at the home with family & really enjoyed all there is to offer. We grilled out, had s’mores at the fire pit and loved the evening lighting. We fed several deer (we came prepared with apples) and the mommas even brought their babies. A special trip to remember… till next time Beech Mtn.

Cozy Mountain stay

Rented this cabin for friends and family. It had ample space for everyone. Clean, comfortable beds. Several bathrooms. Bonus was the washer and dryer! No complaints.

Super Cute & Cozy

Absolutely stunning property! Super comfy and decor was well thought out. Communication with property management was superb! Melissa was amazing in aiding us with anything we needed. The place was clean but could use a bit of a better cleaning in bathrooms, other than that our stay was magnificent. Would book again!

Family Trip

My family and I came to Beech Mountain to celebrate my mom’s 75th birthday. We had a fabulous time. The decor was gorgeous. Each room had a bathroom either attached or close by. The beds and linens were incredible! The host and property managers were wonderful with communication and always available. We will absolutely be back! Thank you for sharing your space with us.

family ski trip

We enjoyed our stay at the Beech Haus. The home met all of our needs. There was ample sleeping spaces for our family of 7 all over the age of 13. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Having 4 bathrooms was a bonus! the home is situated in a quiet neighborhood. Helene caused damage to usual roads and nearby hiking trails, but the area is still beautiful.

It was a wonderful place to stay. There were 4 adults,2 86 and 89 yrs old. The first floor rooms were great for them. My cousin and I (67 and 62 ) had the loft and basement which were so great for us. The stairs up and down are very narrow with railings but a bit much for older people. It is what you see, a great venue for sure. On a positive note, I would suggest a few more kitchen towels and maybe a small hand person tool kit. Beds are awesome....

Comfortable and fun stay!

I was looking for a place to accommodate my immediate family, siblings, mother, and fur baby - and this house filled the bill! I really liked having a good ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms, which is an important criterion. The beds were extremely comfortable (even the bunk beds!), and to be honest, I haven't slept that well away from home in a while ( I was in one of those bunk beds). Having dedicated AC units was a definite plus, especially for the loft bedroom. The living area accommodated everyone, and we enjoyed both the decks of the house. I could tell that the house had experienced recent upgrades which added style to its functionality. The house is located just a couple of blocks away from the Pond Creek trails, which I finally hiked after years of coming to Beech Mountain (sorry it took that long to discover them!). Whenever I have a larger group, we will definitely stay here again.
