Cozy and peaceful

Wonderful cabin in great location. Very quiet and peaceful - the level driveway was a plus as well as being on dead end road which made for safe dog walking. Great proximity for any mountain activities on Beech Mountain, in Banner Elk or Boone areas. My favorite was seeing all the stars on a clear night with no light or noise pollution. Beautiful! Don’t hesitate to book.

Ski weekend

We had a great stay at this cabin! Only a few miles from Beech Mountain ski lodge. Ten minute drive. One thing to note that is very important. Flat Driveway!! So many homes the cars have to park at bottom or top of driveway due to snow. This house you pull right up within feet of front door. The owners are great to communicate with you. The home was perfect for us all. It comes well supplied in kitchen.

Very Convenient

Property was easy to get to. Super clean. Loved sitting out on the back porch and listening to nature. We were ten minutes from Beech Mountain Resort which made the Land of Oz that much more enjoyable. We saw lots of deer on the roads and even a bear! We will definitely be back again when visiting that area!

What a wonderful trip!

Very enjoyable stay, the property is secluded and peaceful. The house was clean and comfortable with access to some nearby gems. Buckeye Lake is small yet the fishing was great, we caught several really nice fish there. It is only a short drive to Beech Mountain where the chair lift ride to the top provided a breathtaking view of of the mountains, Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating, overall a wonderful trip!

Great Little Getaway

Property was as described. One touch that I appreciated was all kitchenware matches-it did not seem as if I was cooking for my family with mismatched yardsale items or grandma’s basement. Very clean, pleasant stay.

Cabin on Beech

We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. Accommodations were perfect for two couples Only negative feedback would be - need more hooks to hang clothing ie nightwear in bathroom and a little more space for guests groceries. Beds were very comfy and seating area was very good! Plenty of linens and towels were provided. We will keep this cabin on our favorite list!
