This place was super clean, warm and inviting, everything you’d need out of a cabin. John and Karen responded pretty fast with any questions we had and did a great job of setting up a cozy spot. It’s a short 10 min drive to the mountain, would highly recommend for larger groups.

John and Karen have the perfect location. Nestled among gorgeous trees with stunning mountain views. The cabin was cozy and well-equipped, providing everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure all my needs were met.

The house was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Everyone slept well. There was plenty of space for the kids, plenty of games and activities for the kids to do. We loved waking up to the sunrise with a fresh pot of coffee. Great hosts, amazing house.

Great, cozy place on Beech Mountain! Beautifully decorated with all the amenities — the board games were a big hit with us. The kitchen was well equipped, and we loved having both indoor and outdoor fireplaces as well as the relaxing jacuzzi. Felt just like home!
