Clean, was very cold on arrival but heated up quick. The trip to take the trash is scary. Not good for 60 plus unless you are very fit. 12 stairs and you can't park near them as spots taken. The steep terrain and hair pin turns meant you had to be home by dusk. There was no dinner out. I cooked which wasn't easy. Not too many pots. No matching covers. Don't know why open and closed paint cans under sink but they shouldn't have been there. Not exactly close to anything major. All at least 1 hr away. No joke, the driving was down right scary. No tv directions.

This was our second stay here. Just like last year, we only had a few days to get away and just wanted a place in our favorite vacation location to relax for a few days, and this place was perfect for that.

Perfect Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as the condo had everything we needed. The proximity to everything in Beech Mountain and the resort made travel very simple for our ski trip with two young kids. The beds were very comfortable and the condo stayed warm despite the frigid temperatures. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Another wonderful stay

This property continues to be our favorite place to come back to. Charlene was so helpful and communicative. We had 5 of us there and the location was perfect. We took advantage of the clubhouse when we needed extra space and took in all the wonders of Beech Mountain. Snow, nature, the resort, the sledding hill - it was all so close. We're already anxiously awaiting our next trip back!

Nice place to stay

Nice place to stay for a few days. Little outdated, but everything worked when used. You can walk to ski slope, but I suggest you drive. Parking lot for resort is less then 5 minutes away. Our host was very responsive when we asked a question. Finding the correct road is a little tricky at first. I recommend you arrive before dark. Since you're up in the mountains, 4 wheel drive or chains are required when it snows. I would stay there again.

Exactly what we needed

Overall, it was a great stay. We were there in mid November and only spent 2 nights. We got in late the first night and were gone all day the next day. We were only there for a place to crash. Beds were good but the pull-out couch could use some love. Towels and sheets were clean and checkin/checkout was easy. Thanks Cecile for renting us your place! The view is really beautiful!

Perfect location!!

This condo was super close to Beech Mountain. We walked back and forth from the bars at the resort. We did decide to drive over when we went skiing though. Just because i didn’t want to carry all my gear. But it’s definitely close enough to do that if you want. Communication with the owner was great. She was shears just a text away. We had a great time and would definitely rent this place again.

Great View / Great Value

This is a very nice place to call home base while getting away to the mountain environment for hiking, biking, or just relaxing. The view from the chalet is East so if you're into skywatching you can view moonrise, sunrise, and the planets too. The chalet cozy and very functional. If you're going to ski it's only a short walk to the ski resort. Also, a short walk away is a restaurant and bar named Famous Fast Freddies (I think) that has, among other choices, really good burgers and craft beer. The property owner was easy to work with and proactive in notifying us of a temporary water outage she was notified of due to the city working on the water lines. I would definitely recommend this property. Thanks.

An Unforgettable Stay at Beech Mountain - Highly Recommended!

We had a fantastic stay at a charming studio apartment atop Beech Mountain. The home was spotless and well-equipped with every amenity for our brief visit. The fully stocked kitchen catered to our culinary needs while the living room, boasting high-speed internet and a Samsung Smart TV, ensured endless entertainment. We appreciated the mix of heating options and the available fans, given the cool mountain climate. Sleeping arrangements were diverse and comfortable, and the well-supplied bathroom had plentiful towels and essentials. A standout feature was the balcony, presenting a stunning view of the mountains. One minor suggestion for improvement would be the addition of an address plate outside for easier location. Nonetheless, our stay was delightful, and we eagerly anticipate a return visit. This Beech Mountain retreat offers tranquility and comfort, and we couldn't recommend it more!

Cozy Little Getaway

Right out of the gate, I should mention the fact that Holiday Beech Villas are obviously older and show much wear and tear. That being said, Cecile's unit is nothing short of a comfy little retreat with a beautiful, soothing mountain view. As studios go, this one is on the large side, particularly the living room area. The furniture is exceptionally comfortable and the queen mattress is nice and firm. If you prefer a softer mattress, you'll want to utilize the twin bed. There is no air conditioning, but at nearly 4800 ft elevation, odds are pretty good you won't miss it. There are 2 island-style ceiling fans, which operate via small remote controls. By opening the bathroom window and the sliding glass door in the living room, there's a nice cross-circulation of cool mountain air. Cecile is such a pleasure to work with and we are very grateful for her gracious hospitality!

Hi there! I have always wanted a little place in the mountains where I could go to take in the beautiful scenery, breath in the mountain air, and be amongst the beauty of nature and all it has to offer. I found my little place here. I have visited it a handful of times before I got the opportunity to purchase it. Since I can only be there a few times a year, I wanted to share it with others and give them the opportunity to enjoy this special place that I have grown to love! It is such a wonderful place to go to retreat away from the business of everyday life. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
