About this property

Historic Lodge with Modern Amenities

Welcome to Majestic Mountain Haus!

Fun Facts about this house: The Majestic Mountain Haus was built in 1971 using wood and beams from one of the oldest churches in Rowan County, North Carolina, that was dismantled in the early 1970s. The bar in the den was the original ticket counter in the train station of the steam-powered Best Friend of Charleston train. It was the first locomotive train built in the United States and had its inaugural run in 1830!

*** Majestic Mountain Haus does not have Air Conditioning. (Enjoy cool mountain breezes above 4000 feet in elevation.)
***** There is space to park two (2) cars. Additional parking is possible across from the Town of Beech Mountain Town Hall.

This lodge has modern comforts and amenities, as well as original/pre-original elements and decor. Together, they offer a unique yet charming mountain vacation experience. Suitable for groups of up to 19 people, this house sits on a high-elevation, wooded property with year-round mountain views and an outdoor, wood-burning fire pit. It is exactly one mile to the slopes of Beech Mountain Ski Resort, the ice skating rink, and the sledding hill. There are countless walking and hiking trails, marked and unmarked, and numerous rivers, creeks, lakes, and streams. Buckeye Lake Recreation Center offers indoor and outdoor activities for all who wish to partake (--> Buckeye Recreation Center <--).

Majestic Mountain Haus opens up with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams in the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas. The living room offers a large, wood-burning fireplace, comfortable leather sofas, a large flat-panel HDTV with a DVD player, massive windows that frame the mountain view, and a large sliding glass door leading out to the patio. The dining area boasts the original wood dining table that seats ten (10) people. Beside the dining table is seating for four (4) more people in the bar area, separating the dining room from the kitchen. The kitchen offers unique Quartz countertops and stainless appliances. There is a half bath/powder room on the main floor.

The main floor offers two queen master suites with full bathrooms and a third bedroom with two twin beds. One of the two master suites has an HDTV with expanded digital cable programming.

Upstairs is a spacious loft bedroom with a full bed, a twin bed, and a full bathroom with a shower.

Downstairs are two king master suites with full bathrooms and a third bunk bedroom. It has two twin-over-full bunk beds and a half bathroom. One of the downstairs suites has an HDTV with expanded digital cable programming.

Downstairs opens to a large central den with a bar and game room. There is a comfy, central L-shaped sofa and an additional seating area with two stuffed chairs and a coffee table. Games include an 8-foot slate pool table with a ping pong topper and a foosball table. A large Smart TV with a BluRay player rounds out the entertainment equipment. The room's focal point is the solid-wood bar, nearly 200 years old and originally the ticket counter in a train station. It was saved from destruction and repurposed to serve as a beautiful bar with six bar stools. Behind this bar are a bar sink and fridge. The den has a second table and chairs for gameplay or additional dining.

The lodge seats up to twenty-six (26) guests. Dining options are as follows. A dining table on the main floor seats ten (10) people. Beside the dining table is a bar top that seats four (4) people. Downstairs at the central bar, there are six (6) bar stools, and the table downstairs seats another six (6) people for a total of twenty-six (26) people.

We had an amazing time! The house is so spread out and well equipped for a family vacation. Every person felt like they had exactly what they needed to get the most out of their vacation. We easily cooked for for all 18 guests with no problems or shortage of dishes (we did have to buy our own all purpose and bleach cleaners, there was nothing at the house). The house was clean when we arrived with extra blankets in each room.Everyone felt like they had space to retreat if all they wanted to do was relax. We spent multiple nights around the firepit after skiing all day (we had to buy an axe to cut our own wood, but it was so worth it!) The downstairs area was our absolute favorite. The 200 year old table that used to be a train station ticket counter is absolutely stunning!! We spent almost all of our time down here playing board games, video games, basketball tournaments, and hot tubbing on the back porch. Our ages ranged from 6 to 82, but everyone had everything they needed. We are already looking for the next time we can book again. Highly recommend!!

This cosy cabin nestled in the trees and located beside a creek is the perfect place to relax and breathe the cool mountain air. Great place for family and kids. Be sure to read about the history of the cabin and it’s contents. Will definitely return.

Family Ski Trip

The house was perfect for all of us with each bedroom having a separate thermostat and all but one had a private bath. We managed to squeeze 3 SUVs onto the small parking area. A herd of deer greeted us when we arrived and came by often delighting the children. Being so close to the ski and tubing areas helped a lot. Our 10-year-old skied for the first time and by the second day was coming down from the top of the mountain. This is a family friendly community. I highly recommend The Famous Brick House Restaurant that is the best pizza ever, and just a few minutes up the hill!

Very poorly maintained

All screen doors were damaged and there was trash under beds and bathroom vanities. Feces on top of toilet seat. Even though it was not a pet-friendly home, we had to deal with fleas and what certainly smelled like dog urine on all bed linens on the lower level. Contact with Carolina Cabin Rentals, the property management, was sketchy at best, continually left messages to report damages as we found them, which were numerous, and rarely got a callback if any. What should be a magnificent home is falling into sad disrepair. We will never rent another cabin or house if maintained by Carolina Cabin Rentals.

Dirty and needing maintenance

First impression is great. Online content leaves you wondering what exactly to pack based on reviews without answer and no updates to content following any updates to the property. All the dishes were gross and needing cleaning. Towels were not placed in rooms and we finally found them still in the dryer. Floors have not been well cleaned in a very long time. There was a thick accumulation of dirt in corners and some bathrooms had hair in the showers from previous guests. Oven badly needs cleaning. Microwave door is falling and has trouble keeping contact. One of the dining chair seats is not secure and seriously injured my mom’s hand when she tried to scoot up to the table. On of the bar stools downstairs is unstable and unsafe. My husband went to sit in it and it fell over hitting my 1 year old. At a minimum the base needs to be tightened to properly secure. Floors are in terrible condition in the living area. There are several nails sticking up that stabbed some in the foot. In other places the wood is splintering and we had to remove splinters up to half an inch from other’s feet. It’s really a shame because the house was exactly what we needed and has a lot to offer but it’s not well maintained and led to a lot of injuries and frustration. We will definitely take another trip but not to this house.

Filthy, unsecured home in a beautiful setting that was disappointing

We notified the rental company that we may have a late arrival so they provided an after hours number we could text, After a 14 hour drive, we arrived late that evening.. It was very dark, no ground lighting. There are drops at entry my mag lights were very helpful. I found the lower lever sliding glass door unlocked. I notified my daughter about the situation and that I was going search the entire house before they could enter. I was afraid of animals. I searched the home, I found empty beer cans and blankets on the floor in the game room. Now afraid someone was there. I found the home very dirty, the beds were disgusting, blood on pillows, body hair on the sheets . they looked as though just slept in. Bed blankets laying on the floor in the dirty closets next to the full vacuum cleaners not on the beds. Bathtub drain with hair, bugs in the kitchen cupboards, food in the garbage can, silverware. I notified the management asking for clean sheets an told them what we walked into. Their response was no one was on that could bring up clean sheets but would make things right first thing in the morning. There was no mention in the rules about washer and dryer on site, I did not bring laundry soap. I asked management if they could provide soap that night so I could start washing the beds and clean the house. I was told not their responsibility to provide cleaning supplies. We wiped down the naugahyde couches so my grandkids and daughter could sleep. Glad we brought extra towels for the hot tub and car blankets because that was all we had to sleep with. It was 10:50 am the next morning when I called the office asking when someone would be there. The rest of my family was coming. We were there for a family wedding. I spent all the first night washing everything with my dish soap and clorox clean up & continued cleaning the next day spent $150 supplies to clean the 2nd night. The hot tub was filled with leaves and water dirty. After seeing filthy home, I would not let anyone use it. I complained and sent 30 plus pictures to management that I took upon arrival. The pictures showed that this home has not been cleaned for very long time. I had to ask for a refund of cleaning fee and the night we could not sleep in the beds. I should be refunded for the time I spent cleaning that home and refund what I spent on cleaning supplies which I left for next poor soul that rents from Carolina Cabins. It was awful there. I feel bad for the owners of the home!

Wonderful!

We needed a place for our family of 14 to vacation together and Majestic Mountain Haus delivered. There is plenty of room to gather and to separate. It is near enough to the attractions we are interested in, and it has all the necessary amenities. My only gripe has to do with the rental company’s fees. The property includes a hot tub, however no chemicals or instructionsare made available to the renter (as they are with other rentals). Instead, there is a $37.50 charge to have someone come take care of it, unless the water needs to be changed, then the fee is $100. Our visit was 9 days long. There is no question that the hot tub will need servicing several times during that duration. This should be included as part of the expected cost of doing business.

Great location and really cool cabin

It is definitely a "cabin". The lay out is great and our kids really enjoyed. I agree with several other comments that it was not the cleanest place we've stayed. But it is a ski cabin. We left early to beat the bad weather back home. Unfortunately, we had rain most of the time that we were there.

Great Ski Trip!

We had a great time at the Majestic Mountain Haus. Just a few things that I want to bring attention to. Some of the sheets and towels smelled like cigarette smoke. Behind the bedroom and bathroom doors were not cleaned. There was hair and dust. The lightbulbs need to be checked. One of the downstairs master had only one of three lamps that worked and the overhead light hardly lets off light. The front door deadbolt was easily opened by my 2 year old. I know not everyone that stays here will have kids but that was something that was scary for us. Again, we had a great time and it’s a great house. These are things that I would want to be pointed out to me as a VRBO owner.

Upon arrival noticed insufficient lighting (esp.kitchen), unclean areas and problems with TV. Spoke with lady @ Carolina Rentals. She assured me someone would be out later. Someone called each day with promise maintenance would be out but no one ever came. Also told to take pictures for housekeeping which I have. The kitchen poorly stocked when trying to cook/feed 17. We do 2 family trips annually and I'm always looking for houses to accommodate. This house did not!!

Should have known better....

This is the second time staying at The Majestic Mountain Haus and it was even dirtier (during a pandemic) that it was 2 years ago. With this home being one of the few that had enough bedrooms/bathrooms to accommodate our party I had spoken to a rental agent regarding the cleaning practices and was assured that it would indeed be taken seriously. Not only were there enormous dust bunnies/dirt under every single piece of furniture (on all 3 floors), years of dust/dirt on every ceiling fan, brown splatter stains on several of the bathroom walls, hair on bathroom floors we dealt with excessive exposed nails in all the flooring that injured one of the children in our party--we had to put bandaids on a couple just to avoid them. We had zero confidence in the COVID-19 cleaning practices taken to assure our family's safety. So after a long drive, a long unpacking of 3 cars, several of us got to work utilizing bleach wipes to re-clean an enormous house that we were charged an upfront amount of nearly $300. It was fortuitous one of our party brought allergy medicine as 4 of us required it upon staying here. With so many issues we encountered with charges incorrectly made at the beginning of the reservations and not being able to reach anyone at the office when we checked in, we chose to try and make the best of it. Such a shame that this property is actually rented at top dollar in this condition.

House was large and comfortable for our group of 14. We all had a great time in the rec room so many fun games to play. House could use a deep cleaning surfaces were wiped down and floors clean but many cob webs and corners of all rooms were dirty and needed more then a wipe with a mop. A better repair is needed for the fireplace, tape over the holes on the mantel is not sufficient, smoke still escapes into the room. Chairs and a walking path to the fire pit area would have really been nice. Thank you!

Great house with lots of space and wonderful view.

Great house with lots of space and wonderful view. Daily visits by deer. Parking is a challenge but were able to safely park four cars along the road. Dishwasher was the major disappointment. Detergent packs wouldn't dissolve. Yes we follow the instructions and ran hot water at the sink. We had four generations, seventeen people and the house was just right. Through the large glass windows in the living room we were able to watch the leaves change daily on the scenic mountain view. Trails at Buckeye Rec Center and Emerald Outback were quick access and great walks.

Simply Amazing

The house was beautiful. Was able to accommodate 12 people nicely. We were worried about not having AC but it wasn't bad at all. The extra fans helped tremendously during the day when it was warm. And the nights were cool and comfortable for it being June. The hot tub water a little dirty, I'd suggest emptying it more often. There was plenty of utensils and pots to cook with. The seating area at the fire pit wasnt very safe. Every room doesn't have a TV but we didn't watch TV much. The reason I have the house a 4 star is because of the inadequate parking. We have 3 SUV's and 4 motorcycles that barely fit in the small parking area. Also two of the bathrooms had trouble with the toliets getting backed up and the upstairs queen bathroom shower had a slow drain. But over all despite the minor things this house was perfect.
