We had a fabulous time staying at this house. The views are spectacular. The beds were extremely comfortable. The communication with the owner was outstanding! I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.
Tamara was a dream to work with and we had the most wonderful family time together. The home is absolutely beautiful and has everything you would ever need. In fact our family chose to stay home and enjoy everything the house had vs going out many days. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
This cabin at 5,200 feet of elevation offers breathtaking views and cozy rooms perfect for relaxing. The host responds super quickly and top tier service making the stay even better. Highly recommend this cabin for a peaceful getaway!
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful home. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed and the host was very helpful with everything. We will be back soon!
Ash Cliff will not disappoint. Little details are taken care of and the house is awesome! Having the added games, pool table, and foosball table was great when the weather got nasty.
Two families stayed in this beautiful home with 5 young children. The pictures do not do the open layout and excellent use of space justice. The views are incredible including views of the ski slopes, the location is perfect for access to all of the ski resorts and small towns in the area. Make sure you take the 3 minute walk up to the top of the mountain to sunset park and climb up to the platform as the sun sets. A magical snow trip for a group of South Floridians. Excellent host and perfect house!
This unique home was very comfortable and provided absolutely everything we needed. The views from the expansive back decks cannot be beat! The perfect home for a large group. It comfortably slept 10 (6 adults and 4 kids) and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare big family meals. Of all the rental homes the 3 families on this trip have stayed in, this one was by far the most well equipped. The Host, Tamara, provided excellent instructions and communication so we knew exactly what to expect and what to do upon arrival and departure.
What a wonderful stay we had!! From the communication with Tamara Giles to the house itself.. everything was perfect!! By far one of our favorite rentals. We will for sure stay here again. We had adults along with kids with age range from (5-7). The kids loved the house just as much as the adults did.
This house was immaculate, had everything we needed, the views and wildlife were incredible! We arrived to snow and it snowed during our stay. The deer were cool but seeing two 🐻 was awesome!!
Tamara is an amazing host with super quick response times. We will be back, you can’t beat the location.
This is a terrific house - AWESOME views, great comfortable furniture, all the incidentals you could want and need, beds and bedrooms are super comfortable, really easy to settle in and get immediately peaceful - just a fabulous mountain house
How did they build that? How did they put part of the mountain inside the house? Seriously, it’s amazing. A must see, and gorgeous and spacious besides. We have already rebooked for next year. By the way, amazing host too (Tamara).
We always search for the best home we can find for a restful weekend and this home was definitely it. It’s listed as spectacular, and it certainly is. Although there are plenty of places to go and many restaurants available in this beautiful area, we chose to stay in. The kitchen is well appointed and we weren’t wanting for anything-the home is very comfortable and well stocked. Many spots to sit together or to split up between the different living areas(inside and out) for conversations, watching games, etc. The beds slept so well, I’d love to know what mattress brands they were!
The home and views cannot be beat. Like another review said-just go ahead and book it! The only negative for some-it’s curvy, but well worth it for the gorgeous home and views. You’re on one of the best mountains ever so it’s going to be steep and curvy.
Last-thank you Tamara, for everything. You are indeed an awesome host.
Great vacation, beautiful home with amazing views. Super cool house. Super easy, excellent communication with the owner. House is well stocked and meet all our needs. We will be back.
Thanks for everything! Made great memories….
The house is exactly as described in the VRBO listing! We had a great stay while introducing our kids to skiing at Beech Mountain. The host was responsive and helpful! 5 out of 5 Stars!
We had a fantastic time at Ash Cliff. The house was very comfortable, incredibly well stocked, clean and had unbelievable views! The owners were incredibly easy to work with and even let us stay an extra night due to a snow storm the night before we were supposed to leave. We will definitely be back! If you’re staying in the Beech Mtn area this house is perfect!
Ash Cliff turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. It was the ideal location to enjoy the fall leaf color season with its spectacular views of the Beech Mountain community and the surrounding mountainscapes, combined with the clean, comfortable and well-maintained environs of the home itself. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, as well as additional touches to enhance the experience – bathrobes, a sauna, a Keurig in the master bedroom, comfortable lounge chairs in the master bedroom to appreciate the astounding view through the panorama windows, a wonderful sunroom to enjoy breakfast with that view.
The kitchen was spotless and well equipped, and everything worked as intended. The bed and pillows in the master seemed new and were very restful. The furniture in both the main living room and downstairs den was comfy and ample. The bathrooms were roomy and sparkling, with one even having its own private balcony.
The smart TVs worked perfectly and the wi-fi was flawless and speedy during our entire visit. The wife was even able to do some remote work without a hitch. And when she wasn’t working, the pool table provided a welcome diversion.
And to top it off, communication with the owner was prompt, courteous and satisfying. Of course, there was little to complain about. In fact, when the opportunity arose, we jumped at the chance to add a day to our visit. We would definitely consider staying here again.
AshCliff was everything we had hoped for. We came to town for a wedding and this home was a perfect refuge from the craziness of the weekend. Tamara was incredibly responsive! All questions were answered within minutes!
Would love to come back again soon:)
The owner of the property keeps improving the property as she cares about the renters of her property and wants to make sure their stay is as comfortable as possible. The views are amazing and you truly feel like you are in the clouds. The house has every possible amenity to ensure wonderful stay.
The views are amazing. The house is well maintained and is the ultimate mountain getaway. The house has everything you could possibly need for your stay and is both beautiful and cozy. There is no better place to stay for an incredible vacation.
What a perfect vacation we had in this super beautiful home and great location. The home was huge and all the beds are super comfortable. Tamara is lovely and made sure we had everything ready for our stay, we could not be more pleased. The home is equipped with smart tvs, pool table, games, puzzles, poker table,books and the list goes on and on so even if it rains you will not be bored. Thank you Tamara you done good!
We had a great time! The house was amazing and the mountain views were unbelievable! Colton was extremely nice and very responsive! We had zero issues, home was very clean (just like the pictures)! Our party included two families with young children (the youngest is 5-months-old). Tons to do with the kids around the town and in the neighboring towns. Skiing, snow tubing, gem mining, mountain coaster, Grandfather Mountain site seeing,… just to name a few things that we enjoyed during our stay. We would highly recommend! 5 stars! Thanks, Colton!

About the host
Hosted by Tamara Giles
Hi! I'm Tamara. I was born and raised in Cary, North Carolina where I still live with my husband, Kevin, and our two daughters. We love to travel, but are a house divided when it comes to preferred destinations! Two prefer warm, relaxing vacations, while the other two like wilderness with adventure. We take turns planning the next getaway. We enjoy serving at church and in our community and our girls keep us busy with horse shows and cheer competitions!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Ash Cliff Manor, first as guests. We were looking for a mountain home with a nice view and nothing came close to what this home has to offer! We convinced the owner (a friend) that he needed to sell it to us!
What makes this property unique
The spectacular views and spacious comfortable home are unmatched! This home has plenty of room for a large family or several couples looking for a mountain getaway. Ash Cliff sits 5200' high on top of Beech Mountain overlooking the ski slopes and the golf course. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Tennessee! Bring your family and friends and make lasting memories in this cliff side chalet!
