The Best Time

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Beech Haven. It was perfect for our family and friends, the beds were great, the house was stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen etc. We truly had a wonderful, magical experience.

Stunning grounds! A fantastic family retreat!

Stunning grounds made for a fantastic family getaway. We enjoyed the lawns, tennis courts, fire pit at night, and morning hikes up the back trail. The house was delightfully nostalgic while updated with all the modern comforts and fun appointments. Location was ideal for access to hiking and fishing as well as a lovely afternoon in the local town park. Hope to return for a summer stay!

Loved the view. It was snowing while we were there and the children enjoyed making snowmen and sledding. We had plenty of room. Loved being able to sit us all at one table. We will stay again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Family gathering

Great space both indoors and out. The kitchen was well equipped. We all had a great time! We were all hoping to use the tennis court but it was in the middle of being painted even when we specifically asked if the tennis court was usable. The pool table needs a rack and the cue sticks need new tips. Trash can drawer in the kitchen was hard to open/close. Two mattresses need replacing 1) upstairs king and 2) basement queen. One of the two washing machines was not operational. Left two messages for Joanie Laws, but she never called back. Toilet needed a new flapper upon checking in and was quickly fixed. The hammock fell on one side because short screws were used. Thanks.

Easter Family Vacation

The property is amazing!!! The history is a must read. My family (ages 4 months to 79 years) was so impressed and had a fabulous time. My husband and I were impressed that not once did the kids get on their "devises". They enjoyed every minute outside on the property. And, the adults enjoyed the our door fireplace every night. Very, very relaxing (especially with a glass of wine-lol). I could go on and on - but I will tell you, it is a must stay if you are going to the mountains. We will plan another trip. Thank you!!!

On arrival to property, we were unable to get door code to work so we got in home 1 hr 15 min late. On check out , we could not get key psd to lock. Took multiple attempts both times to get assistance. Home needs some deep cleaning. Beautiful property and outdoor entertainment area.

Smith Reunion 2021

The accommodations were very comfortable. There was room for everyone except in the kitchen which was small when cooking for 14. Outdoor seating was beautiful as were the immaculate grounds. Enjoyed tennis, archery and lots of running around. S’mores over the fire at night. Only gripe was temp regulation. Very cool in basement or warm upstairs, take your pick which to correct but not both. Puzzles and games were great. Pool and ping pong fun

Perfect for a family gathering

Our stay at Beech Haven was wonderful! There were seven adults (ranging in age from 30-84) and two children aged 4 and 18 months. The outdoor space was beautiful and we enjoyed the "picnic shelter" with fireplace every day. The house is cozy and spacious at the same time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful house with my family.

Beech Haven exceeded our expectations

Our family of 7 (myself, my husband, and our 4 kids, ages 22, 18, 11, 10, 4) chose Beech Haven as our early Thanksgiving getaway. The pictures of the house and especially of the property do not do it justice. The outdoor property of this home is immense and beautifully kept. Our children enjoyed all of it...the 2 outside fire pits, the tennis court, walks by the pond, creek, and hiked up the mountain in the backyard we’re all amazing. The history of the cabin added so much to our stay. There was only one thing I can critique and it’s that I am allergic to dog hair and there was visible dog hair inside the cabin. The cabin itself was overall very clean, organized and had more than I expected in term of kitchen utensils, appliances, and it’s clear the owners have made sure their house is equipped for family stays. We hope to back to Beech Haven in the near future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Perfect for families

Overall the property was amazing. There was so many outdoor activists for children and adults. The house had a ton of charm. One downside was the water pressure. Only one person could take a shower at a time. The other showers wouldn’t even turn on if another shower was running. There was only 1 bathtub in the house and that didn’t work at all.
