This was a great place to stay for a limited-budget ski trip on Beech Mountain. The location is fantastic - a 2 minute drive to the ski resort. The owner was extremely responsive. Heater kept us toasty warm. The unit is older, a bit outdated, but it has a kitchen, washer/dryer, and hot water so it was worth the price. The bed was comfortable and clean.

About the host

Host profile image

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.
