Nice interior design, super close to Beech Mountain ski resort, beds very comfy. Great amenities - hot tub, sauna, ping pong table, fire pit. Cozy and would rent again. Four stars, only because when we checked in, the house appeared half clean. We had to wash all bedding/sheets, and clean bathrooms until after midnight, BUT the review is four stars solely because the owner’s communication was great, he was kind enough to make it right to us, and he took our phone calls late in the evening to walk us through where additional owner closets were to help us. I would recommend this property!
