About this property

⛰️ 🚴‍♀️SLOPE SIDE cabin! Summer mountain biking and hiking 🚴‍♀️ ⛰️


A true Ski In Ski Out cabin located not only slope side but also has a babbling brook that flows along the back side of the cabin! Next to the brook, there is a sitting area with chairs and a fire pit for you to sit and watch skiers in the winter or wildlife the rest of the year. Deer are plentiful and you might have a chipmunk, hedgehog, or bear stroll by to say hello.
Active lifestyle and adventure seekers, this is your location! Why is your cabin called the SiSo the "Rock" ?
SiSo (pronounced C So) is short for Ski In Ski Out and the "Rock" is because of the massive rock in the back yard and the 30' shear rock walls that are on 2 sides of the cabin.

When you arrive you will find a spacious parking area that will accommodate 4 large vehicles. One flight of stairs and a short walkway that enters on the upper level of the cabin. The Rock has plenty of room to roam. The house has 3 levels with the upper level containing the kitchen, dining room, family room, and a half bath. On the second level you will find the Primary bedroom (1 King) with en-suite bath and private balcony that overlooks our small creek and two additional bedrooms (1 Queen and 1 King) with another full bath. The ground floor has a bunk room, with a full bath and a game room with an arcade grade air hockey table, The house is stocked with 700 thread count sheets and new towels for the comfort of our guests. We have a Keurig coffee maker with traditional coffee and k-cup ability with a variety of K-cups available.
The interior is being updated in the off season regularly. We boast comfort and convenience of location. We feel the amenities have been well thought out for our guests enjoyment and safety.
Step outside and enjoy the creek sounds and Mountain View’s along with watching the deer play and eat.

Newer skiers will have more space to refine their skills located right out the back door of the cabin, called Carolina Caribbean.
Lift #1 is right out the backdoor and the Beech Mountain Resort Village is a short walk down the slope. Have your family sit on one of the 3 decks and watch the kids play while you enjoy your drink because you are right in the heart of where things are happening!

*The house has a Ring door bell camera at the front entrance. This is mainly to monitor the walk path of snow and trespassers. We also have a camera in the rear of the house to monitor snowfall conditions. For your privacy there are no cameras inside the cabin.

*The house has paved city roads leading to it, that are plowed during the ski season.

* We rent up to 3 weeks maximum at a time...if your booking is automatically accepted we will refund you immediately and advise of us doing so. The VRBO system does not allow for us to set this in place prior to your booking.

***Winter WARNING***
SiSo The Rock receives 80-100 INCHES of snow ANNUALLY! 4X4 or snow chains are highly recommended. We can receive snowfall from OCTOBER - APRIL
BEWARE OF SNOW ON WALK PATH AND STEPS. We provide snow melt pellets for the use of our guests.

***Summer WARNING***
SiSo The Rock can be cool in the summer months. We do experience wonderful 70's and 80's in the area, but we can experience rainy, cloudy, cool summer days that you will need an extra layer for! For the warmer days...we have an air conditioner on the top floor and the master bedroom on the 2cnd floor.

Highly Recommend!

We’ve now stayed at Siso The Rock twice and have thoroughly enjoyed both trips! The house is very clean; everyone commented on how well kept the home was, even a teenager! This is the perfect house for a family visiting with multiple generations! The younger crowd can enjoy skiing/boarding with easy access to the slopes while the older crowd can easily watch the skiers from the porches, fire pit or even the couch! The kitchen has everything you would need to cook a nice meal for everyone. I have to mention as this is often not the case for by vacation rentals, the beds are very comfortable! We are looking forward to our next stay at Siso The Rock; its easy access to the slopes, comfortability and cleanliness will keep us coming back!!

Ski Out

This property is all about location. You are feet from the slope directly across from the bottom of the #2 magic carpet with direct access to the quads and double chairs. It has a great view of the base area as along with an entrance area that has boot warmers and ski storage area. The interior is in need of updating and there is little room for storage in the bed rooms. But if you are coming here to ski most of the day and have a great access to the slopes this is a 10.

Extremely comfortable property

I have stayed there twice now and have not been disappointed. Towels and bed linens and pillows are higher-end products. The property is as advertised. Everything for a comfortable stay, including well-stocked kitchen utensils and such. The property is very clean. Very convenient to Beech Mountain restaurants and a short walk to the ski resort. As with most mountain properties in this area there are stairs to navigate from living area to bedrooms, and to get to outside ground level, but the half-bath on living area level is a big help.
