Great for a family weekend

We stayed at Heavens Door over my best friend’s wedding weekend, and it was the perfect jumping off point for festivities as well as a lovely place to relax. Plenty of room for the entire family, and pet friendliness is a huge plus!

It would be very accommodating for multiple families or groups.

For older people there are a lot of stairs but a lovely property.

Great Trip

We enjoyed our stay at the house. It has everything you need and is very close to the ski slopes. Pleasantly surprised to find out there was a nice view of the mountains from the porch. Quite of bit of stairs in the house but its a good layout as we had older adults, middle age adults and kids who had plenty of room to spread out across the 3 floors.

Large enough and clean

There were 11 of us total and this is the first year we stayed on BEECH mountain. Carolina cabin rentals does a fantastic job of derailing the house and always has what we need for our trips!

Perfect weekend in the mountains

The place is huge. Lots of bathrooms. And plenty of sleep spaces. The views from the third floor are amazing. Several balconies and everyone had space to do their things. Went for my partners birthday and half the group went to snowboard the rest of us hung out or enjoyed shopping in town. Home was clean and communication was good

Wonderful Winter Getaway!

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday with family and close friends. There was space for everyone - the en suite baths were a MAJOR plus. GREAT VIEWS. The home was clean, stocked and spacious. Hot tub was clean and fit 4 adults comfortably. Easy access, even in wintery weather, although 4-wheel drive was a must. Easy to get to ski resort. We will stay again this summer. Thank you for an awesome weekend!
