Disappointed

We were disappointed in the overall stay. The cups and pans needed to be washed before use. I couldn’t use one pan due to the gunk on the surface. The towels smelled like mildew. I ended up using my own towels. The chair with the breakfast table broke when he tried to sit in it, the back came unhinged. The chairs on the balcony had no legs. When we tried to open the screen door, it came off and we couldn’t put it back on. So we couldn’t open that door for ventilation.without AC. The door to the laundry was off the hinge and was lying across the floor when we walked in. There was a room separator from the couch to the beds, we tired to open this, it was also broken. I would not stay here again,

Cozy yet Adequate

We stayed at this property for a 4 day family vacation. The property is in great proximity to the Slopes & does have a good view. The photos are a little deceiving the couch isn't the same couch & it actually is sitting on the floor w/ no feet so it is quite low & there are no bar stools & kitchen table also is different it is now a High Top & the ad says it has a dishwasher but it does NOT. The washing machine also did not work & we couldn't get the fireplace to light no matter how many times we read the directions and the kitchen had pretty much everything you needed BUT only had 2 forks. The floor did slope in the middle of the room but that really wasn't a deal breaker. It is a Cozy yet Adequate place to stay for a short period & it is close to everything which is a plus. You can tell it is a older place & needs A lot of fixing but for a day or two this place would be fine for 2-3 ppl.

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 Little outdated, but everything worked when used.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.

Our favorite retreat

We're regular visitors to this property. It meets all of our needs and the location can't be beat. Honestly what we love most is that we're "forced" to spend time together while in the condo. It's nice to reconnect with each other and enjoy the closeness that comes with staying in a smaller space. Charlene is always receptive when we have a concern and available to help. We look forward to visiting again!

Great location but could use some updates

The location was awesome. Very close to the slopes, but it was very old inside. Needs some updates. Heating was also a little bit of an issue. The baseboard heating would not keep it warm enough and the fireplace wasn’t working. However, once we got the fireplace to work it was very warm.

Quiet, rustic getaway.

This is a ski resort area, so the time of year we went (Sept/Oct) there are not many people around, which is just what we wanted. Quiet. Beautiful views. Bed is very comfortable. The condo itself is rather rustic - the interior walls and cabinets look like a rustic mountain cabin built by first time builder. The accommodations reflect years of use with only basic maintenance having been done. The VRBO listing is not accurate on several points: there is no dishwasher, no telephone, no ironing board. Also, almost all the furniture seen in the pictures is now different. The couch was different - at one time it had legs but no more. I am guessing that one broke off and rather than fixing it they took off the other 3?? Whatever the case, now legless, it sits low on the floor making it awkward to get out of. The table is now a high-top with bar stools. As another reviewer stated, the floor sags a bit toward the center of the condo. But we did not come for the furniture. Our initial disappointment dissipated within a couple days (we stayed for 10 days) and we enjoyed the quietness, the nice view, and the very comfortable bed. Overall, for the price, yes we would stay again. For a few more dollars you could get something in better repair, but you won't find anything quieter I don't believe.

We really did have an amazing experience and a great time. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. We went to visit Appalachian State University for our son and we wanted the full experience so we chose to stay in Beech Mountain. We do not regret it one bit. The condo was very cozy and up a mountain and the host was very nice and very responsive. It had the most comfortable beds. It did not disappoint and if you love views this is definitely the place.

About the host

Hosted by Charlene Magalski

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.
