The space
UNIQUE SKI-IN/SKI-OUT LOCATION
Our cabin is strategically located on the left side of the mountain, providing you with the grandeur of Grandfather Mountain views and easy walking access to the ski slopes. Say goodbye to noisy blowers and intrusive lights during ski season, and embrace the tranquility of your mountain haven.

The cabin's heart is its modernized kitchen and cooking area, featuring sleek granite countertops and a convenient bar area. Stainless steel appliances and a complete set of cookware ensure you have all the tools necessary to whip up a family breakfast or a gourmet dinner.

OPEN CONCEPT LIVING ROOM
The upper floor opens into a spacious, open-concept living area that lets you bask in constant access to the awe-inspiring panoramic views that define this home. Enjoy cozy evenings by the gas log fireplace, relax on the new sectional sofa (with space for two more on the bean bag bed chair), challenge each other to a game of chess, and take your pick from an array of board games. A 50-inch flat-screen TV with Roku access to Netflix and Hulu ensures you stay entertained.

OUTDOOR OASIS
If you prefer to take the party outside, hundreds of square feet of decking on two levels, complete with deck furniture and a gas grill, await your gatherings.

COZY SLEEPING & LOUNGING FLOOR
The lower level houses two bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing a comfortable and tranquil space for rest and relaxation. Wall-mounted gas heaters in each bedroom and bathroom let you customize the temperatures to your liking.

The primary bedroom features a king-size bed, a 50" Smart TV, and private exterior deck access, offering stunning sunrise views. The modern master bath includes luxurious conveniences, such as a heated toilet seat with a bidet.

Wonderful stay!

This cute cabin is even better than described! The owner has thought of everything: a well-stocked kitchen, games, comfortable beds, even deer food (we did end up feeding a large group of deer from the balcony which was a big highlight of our trip). The view is incredible and the convenience to the slopes can’t be beat. The owner quickly responded to any questions I had and was very helpful. We will definitely be back again- highly recommmend!

Views, peace and quiet

The view did not disappoint! This was our first time off the ski slope. The quiet was so worth the short walk. Having no noise or ice on the vehicle from the blowers was game changer. Just peace and beautiful from the deck, it was so quiet the deer where there daily.

Spring break 2023

Easy communication during the set up process once arrived at the residence everything was exactly as it was going to be indicated the wide open space gave our family the ability to be together yet the separate little areas, dining room table, game table, beanbag couch I’ll gave the kids and adults a place to go on their own as well. The bedrooms were incredibly well appointed and the bathrooms phenomenal.

Exactly as advertised

The property is exactly as it appears in the photos! Beautiful and spacious living space upstairs with a wrap-around deck that allows for great sunrise viewing and multiple visits from local deer friends. The fireplace is awesome, the kitchen well appointed with everything you need, and the total space was perfect for our family of four (although more could certainly have been accommodated) Lastly, the location is so perfect! We walked down to Fred's many times, and can see why staying here during ski season would be awesome! Really happy with our choice to stay here and will again soon!

This home was stunning! From the moment you walked it in the catheral ceiling and beams to the stunning view. It only got better when we discovered the toilet seat was heated. Talk about luxury! Colleen was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She also had great recommendations and we tried the Brick Oven pizza place and it was so good! You won't be dissapointed!

AMAZING

Ahhh so many positive things to say about our stay! This home is lovely. It was perfect for our family of 4! The view is STUNNING. Truly a panoramic view of mountains whether you are on the fun balcony or cooking in the kitchen. Kids loved the swings on the downstairs porch. We saw so many deer from the patio which was cool. The location is ideal!! Walking distance to several restaurants, putt putt and arcade for kids, ski rentals, and small grocery store - we loved not having to drive everywhere. So easy and fun for kids and adults. We skied Beech Mountain and it was perfect!! 5 min drive and so cool to watch the snowboarders and skiers coming down the top of mountain at the house! Super clean, well stocked, cozy fireplace, nice bathrooms, comfortable beds….I could go on and on!!! It was just perfect. we will stay here again next year without a doubt!

Everything is advertised correctly! Except for the fact that miracles happen here! Right in the living room pictured! We are a large family of 9 and the cabin was perfect! We loved the decks and views! The beds were comfortable! And there were plenty of towels, blankets and pillows. The hosts are available, communicate well and are very accommodating. We experienced a miracle during our stay and will treasure our moments we had at this beautiful cabin.

Absolute bliss

What an amazing stay!! We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) and spent Thanksgiving at Head in the Clouds. The experience exceeded all our expectations! The cabin is comfy, well-decorated, roomy, and fully equipped. The view from the large balcony is unparalleled and the seating is perfect to take in plenty of stress-reducing “zen” moments. The deer will visit every day for a quick feeding and picture session. The location is perfect to jump on the slopes, or to take a quick walk to the sledding hill, brick oven pizzeria, or a cute marketplace that has everything you need. The host, Colleen, was amazing. All communications and materials provided prior to stay were excellent and very informative. She was quick to respond to questions and very accommodating with any of our needs or requests. We will absolutely stay here again- 100% sure of that. Highly recommended. Thank you, Colleen!!

Absolutely Perfect!

We’ve been to Beech Mt before for the summer and wanted to spend our Spring Break here so the kids could go snowboarding. It definitely didn’t disappoint. We knew it was towards the end of the ski season but there was a snow storm that came through a couple of days before we got here and so that left some snow on the ground and made the snowboarding fun and safer for the kids. The cabin’s layout was just perfect for our family of 4 kids. The slopes was just a very short walk away. The views were breathtaking and there was a family of 8 deers that would visit us twice a day and we would feed them the deer treats that the cabin had in stock. The only thing that was missing was a hot tub but overall it was a beautiful and cozy cabin. We will definitely be back to stay in this cabin.
