Beautiful location

This property is located in an awesome spot. When we arrived it looked like a winter wonderland. Everything was great. I will say the spiral staircase was a challenge keeping my three year old grandson off of but we worked it out. We were never able to get the logs started after checking everything but we still stayed warm. It would've been cozy if they worked. We had a hiccup and I locked us out of the house with my phone inside with the code to the door, but the manager (Vacasa) was quick in helping us get back in quickly. Would definitely stay here again!!

Hurricane of financial losses

The Hurricane washed away sections of two highways to get to the property. Vacasa was unhelpful, wouldn’t give me a refund and could only offer me weekday bookings as compensation. Because I didn’t pay extra for insurance I get screwed and lose $700 because of a natural disaster! Terrible customer service.

Beautiful, comfortable mountain retreat -- with a caution

This is a beautiful, comfortable home and we enjoyed our stay. The decor was very mountainy, the kitchen was well stocked, the furniture and beds were comfortable, and the linens and towels were appropriate. My caution to future renters: the outside decks and interior open staircase are a danger for kids (probably under age 8) and dogs. Do your homework and really study the 3d tour

Comfortable and Great slope side views

Well appointed Townhouse. Loved the views and crisp fall evenings. The Master bed was so comfortable. We really appreciated the Coffee Bar which is very well stocked. Only wish the FP worked but no big deal as we enjoyed our stay anyway. The neighborhood and location is excellent. Susan

Exceptional location & property!

This is a 5 star property in a prime location on Beech Mountain. Clean and easy access on arrival, this could sleep 6 but we were only 2. 2 1/2 baths make it a bonus for multiple guests on this 3 floor property. Note to the owners: Front door weatherstripping is hanging loose, lock mortise in jamb had been split, perhaps from a forced entry by prior guest, suggest repair. Flag pole on front parking side deck was broken off on arrival, suggest repair. These are simply observations and recommendations, none of which affected our stay or use of the property. HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL BE BACK ON OUR NEXT TRIP TO THE BOONE/BEECH MTN AREA. AGAIN 5 STARS!!!

Nice and cozy!

We are mountain bikers and have stayed in several properties on Beech Mountain. This property is spacious and the view from the living area is excellent. We really enjoyed the balcony spaces as well. There is a coffee bar in the dining area that is very cute and thoughtful. Excellent addition to the space! It is a bit dated in terms of the bathrooms, fixtures, microwave, etc. These things did not bother us or prevent us from enjoying this home.

Dated Property

Nice location but property is dated. Would have liked to have a toaster. And would have liked explicit instructions about how to use the two remotes for tv. Never got the tv to work in the bedroom. Key storage box would not work also. Luckily when I arrived to check in , the cleaning people just handed me the key. No area to walk a dog available.
