Mountain Top Lodge is a fantastic property. The views were fantastic. Hurricane Helene did impact our stay but the property was fantastic.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family getaway for the weekend! The cabin was great with plenty of space for everyone. The only thing to be mindful of is the main kitchen area is on the top floor with no access to the elevator so prepare to take groceries, coolers, etc. up a steep flight of stairs.
What an amazing house and area. Our entire family (Grandparents, Parents, and Kids from multiple generations) enjoyed every minute of our stay here.
The Christmas trees were a nice touch that helped us surprise the kids with Santa gifts the morning of Christmas

Very homey cabin with lots of space. The view is even better than the pics. We are flat landers from Ohio who came down for the race in Bristol. Even with the track being an hour away it was worth the hike up beech mountain to stay here. We had a great time here and would recommend this cabin to anyone.
Thank you Carolina Cabin Rentals!

Views from this property are impossible to beat. The location is also excellent only a 5 minute drive to Beech mountain. One important detail that could be much better, dead batteries in most of the remotes and the old cheap coffee maker is about the worst I’ve ever used in my life, we even contemplated driving down the mountain in the snow storm just to go but one.

We are grateful for your feedback. Our staff is thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the home and we look forward to welcoming you back to our home soon.
The house was wonderful and we were grateful to have all the amenities on a rainy day. Only thing I would suggest is that future guests realize there are lots of stairs and when they say no salt and pepper, they mean zero supplemental amenities in the kitchen! No foil or plastic wrap, napkins, etc. The hot tub is fantastic and it was great to have a working grill. Also, we could not have asked for a better location to the Beech Mountain festivities.
This property is gorgeous and has the most amazing views! Kitchen is large and there is plenty of room for eating, visiting, relaxing and enjoying this beautiful part of the country. Great accommodations. Some feedback: cleaning crew needs to up their game (floors were dirty and not even swept well; counter ok kitchen greasy). Also could stand to have an extra towel and washcloth per person.
Thanks for a fabulous stay!

Thank you so much sharing. Its our greatest pleasure hearing that a guest enjoyed the property and had a great time. We hope to see you again in the very near future.
The house was very Spacious and easily accommodated our family of 10.
The kitchen is very well stocked for any type of cooking that you may need to do.
The views of the sunrise and sunset are amazing through their large windows. There is little outside space for activities however there is plenty of space inside for things to do. We enjoyed our stay here at this house and hope to return it some time in the future.

Very nice unit. The only things need to improve on is the driveway which is in bad shape and there were no instructions on how to operate the televisions.

House was clean and beautiful. View is gorgeous. Bring your own paper products and trash bags
Stay was amazing. Hot tub worked beautifully. The view was far better than expected and no pictures could do it justice. Only problem was that there were no paper products, no toilet paper, napkins or paper-towels, and no trash bags. This was not something expected or warned about. But the house was very clean and beautiful

Hi Ila,
Thank you for choosing Mountain Top Lodge. We post both in our website as well as emails that are sent prior to arrivals what is supplied in each of our rentals. We regret that you missed reading those and preparing accordingly. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the home and found the views spectacular. We agree that the home is beautiful and a true mountain gem!
Very nice house with awesome views. Great location from the ski sloop. The amenities in the house we spot on for our 20 something kids. Hot tub, pool table, video game and shuffle board were huge hits. The entire group love all the deer sightings all weekend. The only let down was we definitely left the house in better shape than we found it. The cleaning contractors left a lot to be desired. Trash left, dirt in areas, just not as clean as one would have expected. But overall a phenomenal property and we had a great weekend.

Thanks for sharing. Our apologies for the clean issues. Rest assure that your comments have been shared to our Executive House Keeper for immediate training and correction. Its our hope that you will come back and visit us again and see the difference.
The property was great! The only complaint that we missed when booking the property was that the middle floor, where a majority of the rooms are, does not have air conditioning. We bought a fan for the kids room and kept window open to keep it cool, otherwise it was 80 degrees. So maybe bring your own box fan in the summer. Other than that, all other floors were very comfortable, the kitchen and living areas were plenty big for all 13 of us and the view from the top deck was amazing. Great for seeing the sun sets each night! There were a couple things here and there that it work or we needed help with and the owner/management company was super quick to respond and very helpful. Would stay there again.

Property exceeded all expectations! Very clean, roomy, modern kitchen & baths, very comfortably furnished, incredible views from top deck. Bottom floor gaming area was a hit with the younger members (and a few older ones too)! Very minor issues (dead remote battery, accent lights not working, slow draining tub). Will definitely stay here again!!

Great view and spacious house
The only thing that was not good is they did not think about a large family needing big pots cleaning supply and toilet paper and garbage bags . Even when I called them they said they will bring it but never showed up.
We had 4 couples on a bike trip from Ohio. House was awesome view was incredible. Everyone had their own room and bathroom/show Very much enjoyed the whole experience.
