Location: BEECH MOUNTAIN, NC. Close to Blue Ridge Parkway, Banner Elk, Sugar Mtn., Grandfather Mountain, Linville, Boone, and Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

Beech Mountain - The highest (5500 Feet) town east of the Mississippi! Our home has great ski slope views in the winter and lovely garden and mountain views in the summer. Enjoy area attractions & the cool summer breezes of the Blue Ridge where temperatures rarely exceeds 80 degrees.

Access to ski slopes, sledding, ice skating etc. is about a mile to SKI BEECH Entrance.

Level parking (no steep driveway here!) and just a few steps to the front door.

No keys to lose or to return! This property provides secure, keyless entry with an August Smart Lock. You can lock and unlock the door, using a personal entry code issued to you for the duration of your stay.

Located on a small circle in the middle, with very little traffic. Easy, level (for Beech Mountain :) ) access year round. NOTE: In the winter, the town of Beech Mountain requires snow tires or chains. There are two roads to our home, so access is never limited as it can be in other areas of Beech.

Firstly our host Ann and Steve were amazing. They were very accommodating and helpful. Every question was answered in a more than timely manner. They even gave us an early check in as we were driving and arrived early. The house was nestled in the Beech area just minutes from the ski resorts and mountain activities. Perfect location and easily accessible. The house had all the amenities of home and more. Would highly recommend booking .

The cottage was cozy and comfortable. It was clean, comfortable beds, nicely decorated and we had everything we needed for our stay. The deck was the best with beautiful views. We had visiting deer and enjoyed many birds. Since we were there over the 4th we were able to enjoy the fireworks. Ann Jara responded quickly to my questions and was easy to work with.We would definitely recommend the cottage and would stay again when we are in the area.

We loved our month at Beech! The house was perfect - great view from the deck, comfortable beds and lovely linens. Kitchen was cozy - and was very well stocked. We really appreciated the gas grill and on a couple of chilly mornings, the gas fireplace inside. Location is perfect. It’s in a quiet street with friendly neighbors and lots of great walking and hikes close by. We spent hours on the deck and had many meals out there, so we could take in the great view of the ski slopes. We can’t wait to come back! And thank you to the owners, who were quick to answer questions and who were super accommodating.

Awesome owners and great location!

We loved working with Steve. There were a few unexpected events that took place prior to our arrival and Steve was communicating with us every step of the way. The location is perfect for skiing, relaxing or any other activities you have planned. The back deck was perfect for grilling and watching the fireworks show from the slopes on New Years Eve. Highly recommend On The Rocks cottage for family, couples or friends. Amazing week at Beech Mountain! Thank you Jaras!!

GREAT LOCATION!

We have been going to Beech Mountain in the winter for the past 38 years and it never disappoints. The cabin is in an excellent location halfway between Fred's and the slopes. You can see the slopes from the deck and we were able to see the New Year's fireworks!The cabin is cute and cozy, however, the pictures make it look larger than it actually is and the kitchen is very small with little storage. We had a little problem with the gas fireplace in that it shut off, however, upon contacting the owners, they promptly had some come and repair it.Overall, we had a wonderful time and my little grandsons had a blast!

Perfectly cozy mountain view cabin

Such a cute little place with awesome views of the mountains and slopes. Fireplace was awesome. Bedding was top notch. Everything worked like it should. The owners are great and very quick to respond to questions. They made an awesome binder full of all kinds of info related to the cabin and the surrounding areas. Things to do. Places to go. Something for all persons and interests. But sitting on the porch watching the deer feed in the yard and sitting by the fire was all we really needed. Will definitely stay here again.

Amazing mountain cottage!!

My husband and I recently booked this property to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary. The cottage was immaculate and tastefully decorated. The bed was super comfortable and since it was unseasonably cold for our visit, the comforter was much appreciated. The views were absolutely amazing! We wish the weather allowed for us to spend more time out on the deck, but sitting next to the fire and looking out at the view was the next best thing. We found out new go to rental in the mountains! Loved it!

Nice views, close to the resort, fantastic host

Very cozy house, adequate for our family of 3 adults and 2 kids, ages 7 and 8. Nice views of the mountain, and easy drive to the slopes. The kitchen is small, but well equipped. We were very comfortable in our stay. The host is amazing: we left two boxes with toys in the house and he arranged for them to be brought to Charlotte, where our son will be able to retrieve them.

It was a nice experience. The porch was a perfect place to relax in the evenings and the bird feeders attracted all types of birds. Wake by up in the morning to see all the wildlife made it extra special. Thank you!

Great Place to Visit Year-Around!

We had a great time staying at this wonderful cabin. Easy to get to the place; it's located very close to the skiing resort and nice dining places. The view from the back deck is simply beautiful. The cottage itself is very clean and cozy. Great thing about this place is that you can visit it all year, whether you like winter activities, hunting and fishing, or simply to get a nice quiet relaxing getaway. Communication with the owners was very easy. Responses were quick and detailed. There were absolutely no issues neither during the reservation nor during the stay. Highly recommend this beautiful cabin On The Rocks. Sincerely, Albina and Mike R.

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Ann Jara

Host profile image
We love Beech Mountain! Our Families have been vacationing in the Mountains of North Carolina for over 50 years. When we first visited Beech Mountain 25 years ago on a ski trip, we fell in love with Beech. 15 years later we visited Beech to purchase a vacation home in the Mountains. When we visited 'On the Rocks' via internet, we knew this was going to be our Mountain Home. Named appropriately for the two large boulders in the front of the house, 'On the Rocks' has become much more than a home surrounded by rocks. This is a private home that we are excited to share with you. When you arrive and step into our home, you will feel at home yourself. We have made our cottage comfortable and warm. When we rent and stay in destinations, we expect special amenities and quality appointments which we have extended to you at 'On the Rocks'. Our children have grown up vacationing here in all the seasons and we hope you enjoy creating memories here as much as we have. We market the rentals ourselves and have a team of competent and local professionals to make sure the cottage is in great working order and extremely clean. This is our 2nd home which we use regularly and we hope you will treat it as your own 2nd home. Please call, email or text us if you have any questions about our cottage. We have furnished and decorated our cottage warmly and appointed it with mountain charm. The Jara Family

Why they chose this property

We chose 'On the Rocks' because of the easy access (two ways to get here), level parking, charm and the views! The location can't be beat - just a few minutes from the slopes, Fred's, Beech Mountain Golf Club.
