Cozy Cabin Close to the Slope

We are so proud of the history behind our home! Built in 2023, this cabin is our home away from home. A place to escape the busyness of our day to day lives. A place to live in harmony with the beauty of nature that surrounds us.

My father, John Sams, is the general contractor who built this tranquil space and has built over 100 homes on Beech Mountain. He began building houses here in the 1980’s and will only have a few more that he will build before he retires for the second time (He was born in 1948)! He also built the home just beside the Harmony Hideaway at 105 Charter Hills Road and will be living there part-time in the summer months, and in Florida the rest of the time.

Our family history with Beech Mountain dates back to the 1980s, soon after the town became incorporated. My grandmother and grandfather, Winfred and Horace Sams enjoyed coming here to escape the extreme Florida heat, as many others do. They both absolutely loved the beauty of the surroundings in this area and the break from the sweltering summer temps in Florida. They would also come here to visit my uncle, Jimmy Sams, who was also a general contractor in this area. My grandmother (born in 1923) celebrated her 100th birthday in the same year this beautiful cabin was built by her son. She is so proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and has left a legacy for the appreciation of the vast beauty of the mountains that surround us here.

As for me, I am the proud owner of this property. I sought the opportunity to own one of the cabins my father built as he is nearing retirement and will not be building any more homes. What an honor it is to own one of the properties my father and Rosie’s poured their souls into building.

We love to ski, hike, fish, paddle board, swim, run, and bike and will be enjoying all of those activities in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains!
