Halftime haus is perfectly located on the slopes with all the amenities you need.

We had a great time and loved the location of the house. Everything was well kept, clean and we enjoyed the large decks to relax on in between runs. Would definitely stay again!

Great location and nice property

Very nice property in a great location. The master bedroom was awesome and the other rooms were good to. Everyone had their own bathroom, so that was great. Nice Webber outdoor grill with plenty of kitchen items.

Beautiful house in perfect location

The house was gorgeous and very clean. We really enjoyed the ski in/ski out. I am not as good of a skier as my husband and was very thankful the home was located a little lower on the slope for my skill level. We would love to rent this home again.

The house is great. The location is perfect for ski in and ski out. However, we experienced several challenges during our stay, and not all of the amenities were working - 1 of the 3 fireplaces was working, the dishwasher was broken for over 24 hours after repairing it, the hot water went out for approx 12 hours before repair, the Keurig did not work, but the drip coffee maker did, some chairs were broken, and some of the cleaning wasn’t really clean. However, we were there to ski and ski we did!!! Loved the chance to be so close.

We had a great time. The property was perfect for our group of moms and boys. The ski in and ski out availability made the weekend so easy. The property was stocked with everything we could need. Highly recommend

Beautiful ski in

We rented the house for my sons 11th birthday and the location was absolutely perfect. The house is decorated really nicely and the rooms are set up for a lot of privacy it was great. We had a couple issues when we first arrived. We got there late at night and the management company quickly resolved it (and even answered our call at 1am!) we stay in beech at least twice a month and this was one of the nicest and conveniently located homes we’ve stayed in. No complaints other than I wish there was a hot tub ; ) we will definitely be return guests.

Great house

The house was fantastic. Comfortably furnished and plenty of room We did have a problem with getting two of the showers hot water to work. That could have been operator error, i did not check them myself, one person was elderly and the other was a 20 something girl. Hot tub was great, only thing about that we would change is the way the cover folds blocks the view of the mountain. If it was turned so it blocked the neighbors it would be better.

Winter Wonderland at Beech Mountain

We loved our stay at Halftime Haus. It was a fantastic property, luxurious and yet practical for our family of 11 ranging in age from a baby and toddler up to us, the grandparents. Having the ski in-ski out option was a huge bonus, especially since we were there at the busiest week of the year. Our only negative was that there was no hair dryer at the house! I called management and asked for one but never received it. So bring your hair dryer. Otherwise, it was absolutely perfect!

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The location is excellent. The condition of the house was terrible. Steps leading to the house from the road had broken treads, many lights were out, one of the bedroom lamps had a broken glass base and was unsafe, the bathrooms were all old and rundown, the kitchen did not have enough plates, the garage and grounds were dirty and had garbage throughout, two of the kitchen island bar stools were missing legs and left in a closet, all the furniture was old and rundown, area carpets were dirty and in need of replacement, the internet was slow and the TVs could not connect to streaming services, the deck areas had old ski poles lying around, a wet bag of old charcoal, old sleds, and broken shovels. This overall condition is not only a poor reflection of the owners but also the management company that allows these conditions to exist without correction.

Beautiful home. Easy access to town and slopes

We had an amazing time. House had everything we needed... except potholders... The inside was immaculately clean. However, outside property was covered in litter. Me and my guests filled an entire trash bag with cans and bottles that were scattered about.
