The perfect place for a winter season getaway. Enjoy the small-town charm of the Town of Beech Mountain with unhurried pace and its winter wonderland setting. 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).

Home's exterior is field stone 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 Chatham, Virginia; the 142 year-old Reedy Fork Mill formerly outside Winston-Salem, NC; and, a barn of unknown age and origin in the Banner Elk area.

Living room, dining room, and kitchen floors are hardwood (area rug covers almost all of living room); all upper halls and bedrooms are carpeted. The ground floor 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 ice makers. 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 42' 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)..

We enjoyed time with our extended family over the Labor Day holiday.The lodge was large enough to accomadate all of us, numbering 20, comfortably.The fire pit was great for us and the neighborhood was quiet, the woods around the house secluded.The host, John, was very helpful and available. We would rent there again if the family decides to return to the area.

Our stay at the Great Escape Lodge was fantastic! The house is a magnificent historical structure. All rooms were ready and perfect for our arrival (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, etc...all perfect). We grilled and shared stories and good laughs on the back deck. The living room was perfect for all of us to catch up after a day of activities and share our adventures. Key for us was how easy the owners made everything for our stay. They even went the extra mile to be sure we had directions to navigating the mountain and knowing where to get groceries, dinner, hiking, etc. Hospitality and flexibility were greatly appreciated. We good not have enjoyed our stay more!

We planned my husband's Bday getaway with family and friends. We were 16 of us traveling from Fl, SC, UT and TX. I wanted to have everything nice for this special ocassion. Unfortunately, the real situation of this property is not as on the pictures. Please read all negative reviews as these are true! Those positive reviews are fake! This property is health and safety hazzard and should not be rented at all! 1) black mold everywhere. I and 2 more people are tested for black mold allergy and inside in this property we could smell a mold starting sneezing after couple minutes being inside. This is a huge health hazzard and it should be checked by health department2) rooms were not cleaned. A lot of dust, spider webs and spiders in carpets, dirty toilets with black mold, dirty old showers. There is not enough pictures of this property to understand how bad the real situation is. If I could upload videos and puctures here, I would. 3) pattio is rotten and not safe for people4) the owner claims this property for 30 people. We were 16 and this property does not even have 16 chairs in their small dining room ...Kitchen is for 1 person, very small and old.5) outside of this property is broken glass, we think from windows, so cleaning crew does not even care to check around the property6) there are no chairs to have seats around fire pit outside, nor chairs on patio. Therefore, you can forget to have a nice gathering outside. This property should not be rented at all!

Family Long Weekend

From age 78 to 3 years, our family of 16 people, enjoyed staying here. There were a few issues because of the previous tenets but the owner was very helpful in working with us on everything. The kitchen was a little smaller than I had thought it would be for a house that can hold 30 people - but we were able to grill steaks, hamburgers and have taco night in our three night stay without any issues! It was a great weekend and John is great to work with!

Could not have been better!

John was very polite and enjoyable to correspond with throughout the rental process and made sure we had all the info we could want/need about the property and surrounding area. The lodge was in great shape and very clean. Even with 22 guests we never felt crowded and no one ever had to wait for an open bathroom. I highly recomend this property to any group looking for a great mountain weekend for an amazing price! We will deffinately be coming here again!

Spacious home in beautiful Beech Mountain

Our trip to Beech Mountain was great. The house was large and accommodated our group of 17 comfortably. Our 7 kids had a great time playing hide and seek in this charming home. John was a pleasure to work with and addressed any problems in such a timely manner. Perfect place for large groups. On one of the days we were there, it was raining all day and we got to enjoy the beautiful fireplace inside.

Property Manager Made the Stay

The property was amazing. Plenty of fire pits, plenty of beds and even enough room for a Cornhole tournament out front. We mostly stayed in the house during our stay but we also made it out to some hiking trails. The previous tenants broke a few things and they hadn't quite gotten fixed yet by the time we got there, but the owner was very transparent about the whole process and extremely concerned about our stay. Ultimately it wasn't anything day ruining but it's nice to see an owner that willing to work with you.

Won't recommend!

10 rooms but they are all super tiny. Top floor is like a hot furnace. No A/c, no fan. We couldn't use the top floor at all. People slept on the floor instead. 🔥 Bathrooms don't have soap or toilet rolls. Bring your own. Washer and dryer don't work. The owner /property manager is a gem of a human being. Kind and gentle. He was very quick with responses, and provided a lot of useful info. Perhaps that's the only good thing about this property that is worth mentioning.

Family Gathering

Unique Log Home is a fitting description. The house has good bones, spacious and the location is beautiful. Space worked well for a family gathering of about 20 people. Furniture and carpeting need updated, as do some of the bathrooms. But overall the space worked well. Did enjoy the large eating area. That said, the house is in need of upgrades in appliances, furniture and carpeting. It is also in need of some general maintenance throughout.. Outside deck is a great space, with a beautiful view. However, it is in need of a good cleaning and staining. That said, host did give us a heads up. Firepit was enjoyable and we used it every night. Firewood was provided, which was convenient and appreciated, but no furniture was provided. The surrounding yard needs maintenance, grass needs to be cut, debris removed and some dead trees taken down. All in all we had a great time with family and enjoyed our stay on Beech Mountain. The large, spacious house worked for our group.

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.
