Relaxing Getaway

Walking in was just breathtaking to start the layout and the brightness of the place was perfect. The porch with the gate to give our dog the ability to go from the porch to the yard was great . We cook in most nights and had everything we needed from the coffee pot to a full equipped grill. Thanks for letting us have the getaway we were looking for.

Very cute little house.

The house had all the things you need for a stay in Beech mountain. Everything is clean and nicely decorated. We were very comfortable the weekend we stayed. The WiFi worked well enough to stream shows and movies. Although we didn’t need it the a/c unit was leaking when we arrived and although we contacted Vacasa they did not respond or repair while we were there. Also, the cleaners left wet towels in the dryer so we didn’t have clean, dry towels but I’m sure this is not a normal occurrence and shouldn’t deter anyone from staying here. The fire pit and babbling creek are lovely and relaxing in the summer evenings. We would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy and Convenient

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin is very convenient to Beech Mountain but just as convenient to the rest of the area - we went to Banner Elk, Hawksnest and Sugar as well and everything is about 20 minutes largely due to winding roads. The cabin was very clean and well put together and have comfortable beds. The latter is where we usually get unpleasantly surprised with rentals but these were great. The listing company was very communicative and made check in, out and asking questions if we needed to (didn't really) easy. Only gotchas I would mention - One parking spot is on an inclined single car driveway and the other is on a dedicated on-street spot. This worked just fine for us but a good FYI that wasn't clear from the listing itself. Also the washer/dryer are mini types and especially the dryer is not going to be as high strength as a typical residential model. You will need to check/clean the lint and it is not setup the same way as you are used to so read the instructions. Besides that, we had a lovely stay as a group of 4 and would stay again.

Very close to ski resort

Great place, feels like home instantly. First time to review but have stayed here before. Cozy and modern. We really like the place. Nice walks nearby. Walking distance to ski resort which is good in the winter. We will definitely come back again. Highly recommend.

Nice clean property beds very comfortable. The fire pit and chairs were great. Living room furniture was small and not comfortable but I’m 6ft and usually have issues with that.

The house is very cute, appears newly renovated/decorated and in an amazing location. The property management team could use an overhaul. When we arrived to the home from DC (7 hour drive) we were unable to access the home. The key pad on the front door was completely inoperable. The back up lock box was also inoperable and no one could provide the correct code to access the house key. The property management team was also unable to get us into the house remotely. They continued to tell us help was on the way. In the end, we waited in our car for 5 hours in single digit temps with two small children waiting for help to arrive. Given the freezing temps this became a safety issue. Completely unacceptable - and while we did receive a 1 night refund for our 3 night stay - there was no apology and no explanation for what happened. It appeared this was business as usual for the team. It ruined our trip as we lost a full day of skiing and homemade meals. Like I said, the house is adorable. A few additional misses from the property management team: all hand soaps filled with water, shower products empty, and no hot tub instructions. Minor compared to the lock out situation but room for improvement. The heating and cooling units also blow directly overtop your head while in bed - not the best experience but again, was the least of our worries.As an owner of a rental property this experience is one I can’t imagine ever delivering to my guests.

Mold

My family and I stayed at the Beech hut, at the end of July 2024 , and it was a disappointing experience. The biggest issue was the mold at the property. It was particularly noticeable in the living room on the back of a picture and on the back of the rug, when we had to remove it when the a/c unit overflowed. The musty smell was overwhelming. The presence of mold made the air quality poor and left me feeling uncomfortable throughout my stay. The house itself had potential, but the mold problem really overshadowed everything else. On top of that we found a piece of a plug left in the kitchen outlet. This could have been catastrophic if someone had touched it. I wouldn’t recommend staying here until these issues are properly addressed.
