We loved every minute of our visit here, despite Hurricane Michael blowing thru and giving us 2 complete rain-out days. The condo is exactly as Dawn (owner) describes it. Everything you need for relaxing, cooking and just being comfortable is here, it's truly like home-away-from-home ...it is perfectly furnished. The fireplace is great, we used it every day. Love the large stone hearth! The views are as good as advertised, though we did not get as much deck time as we hoped due to the weather.
The property is easy to find (steep roads of course). Parking and entry are simple. Beds are comfortable. Very nice quality linens and dishes (sometimes rare in rentals). Great TV's and gaming options. The wifi is fast and dependable ... even thru a hurricane with 40 to 60 mph wind gusts, we never lost power or internet, pretty amazing!
The bathrooms are on the 2 bedroom levels, there is no bathroom on the middle level with the kitchen/living room (FYI). Master suite is super private and quiet (as parents of 3 kids we loved being 2 levels above them at night, I'll be honest). Living room and dining area are spacious and plenty of room for 6 to 8 people to comfortably hang out. Very comfortable living room furniture (a plus!). Be careful with the blinds throughout the condo, follow the instructions opening and closing, they can be tricky.
The proximity to everything on the mountain is perfect, 5 to 7 minutes from the golf course and from 'downtown' where the grocery store, putt-putt and multiple restaurants are located and 10 to 12 minutes from the Buckeye Recreation Center (great cabin fever spot for the kids).
Dawn is a fantastic VRBO owner! She was extremely patient as we made online reservation mistakes, quick to respond both before and during our trip when we needed her help. Owners like her make folks like us return to their properties over and over, while referring our friends and family!
We've been coming to Beech Mountain for two decades and one of our favorite things about it is the genuine friendliness of the residents and employees here - and that continued this week. They truly love having guests and make it a wonderful place to visit. Over the years we have stayed in Boone, Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis and Banner Elk but would prefer Beech over any of them, due to the views, quaintness and the people.
Book your mountain stay HERE, you will absolutely not regret it!
