Our family enjoyed our vacation at Beech Mountain. The home was beautiful with everything we needed for a perfect week. The host was very helpful with any questions we had. While we were there we had lots of snow. My granddaughter loved playing in the backyard and sliding down the hills. There was lots of deer that visited every morning. We would go outside and feed them carrots and apples. Thank You Lynne for opening up your home to us.

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful long weekend. I had recently been in the hospital for 5 weeks and now I’m recovering from an accident. We wanted to have a change of scenery. The house was perfect! Easy for me to get in and out. Was fully stocked with all your kitchen needs. We also got to watch the deer every morning in the back yard. We would definitely rent this house again.

mountain getaway

The home was in beautiful condition and prepped for our stay. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths was perfect for our group who were all able to relax and regroup before the upcoming school year . rEnjoyed traveling throughout the area and found great places to eat. Will look forward to visiting again.

Awesome "home away from home"

This home is truly stunning. They provided everything as stated and when I asked about firewood for the firepit, she responded quickly. They even had lighters to light the grill. The best part was it was far enough out of the hub hub.. but still close. We even had deer all along the house and within 5 feet of us. Great house and would love to rent again!

Spring break

Lovely house that fit our needs perfectly. Everyone had some privacy for downtime and a nice family room for game time, too! Area activities are close by. Spring weather did not cooperate but we had a good time nonetheless.

Nice cabin for the weekend

The ceckin proccess was super easy. The cabin was spacious and there were lots of board games to play. The front and back patio had rocking chairs which the kids really liked. There is also a fire pit in the backyard, and also a hiking trails that was awesome. Everything was great, we all had a good time.

Excellent place to stay! Highly recommended!

This house was perfect! The photos are spot on! It is only a mile away from Beech Mountain which was the purpose of our trip. The morning visitors (deer) were a daily excitement for the kids. We made smores in the fire pit outside. There is a hiking trail right beside the house. I cannot say enough good things!Communication was excellent! We will definitely be back!

Perfect home for our family vacation

This home was perfect for us. My father is in a wheelchair & we are always struggling to find a one story home in the mountains to accommodate him. This home had a ramp for him to get into the home, a power recliner & handles in the shower! It had everything we could’ve needed in the kitchen & we had the best time!

Excellent stay, make sure have 4 wheel drive

Excellent stay and close to Beech Mountain. The house is updated and well equipped. My only caution is there is a portion of the final road to the hose which is no paved and very windy and I would not recommend making that drive without 4 wheeled drive especially during the snowy season

Home away from home

First let me start by saying that we absolutely loved the property. Me and my family booked the cozy retreat for Thanksgiving. We book a different place in the mountains every Thanksgiving and this place was by far one of the best and our favorite. The property was clean and cozy. It was well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen (with the exception of a can opener). The kitchen had upgraded appliances. The bedrooms were cozy. The beds were soft and everyone slept well. There were TVs in every bedroom with streaming so everyone was able to watch what they wanted. There was plenty of seating in the kitchen. We couldn't get the fireplace to work but it was fine. We saw many deer every morning which was a nice treat. I would recommend this property to my family and friends.

Highland Hearth Hospitality

This is a lovely home with many features that I really appreciated: being able to adjust temperature for our comfort rather than having someone remotely deciding for us; adequately bright lights in bathroom, handheld mirrors in every bathroom; place for coats and shoes right inside door. A number of deer came to visit and feed daily, a real thrill for city dwellers. We will return to this lovely location in the future.

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was perfect for our family with 4 adults and 3 kids. The kitchen had everything we needed. We were not far from town/ski resorts and very close to food spots. Although due to the weather we could not use the fire pit, it is a nice addition. The home was very clean and had plenty of linen and starter toiletries/supplies. I would definitely recommend families to stay here. Thanks to the owners for their hospitality.

Lovely Mountain Setting

Comfortably furnished cabin that was well maintained and clean. The highlight of our stay was watching a doe and her newly born fawn in the front yard. We also saw a mother bear and her three young cubs scampering past our front window. While the weather was rainy, we enjoyed playing games, putting jigsaw puzzles together, and warmed up around the gas logs fireplace.

Adorable little property

We had a very pleasant stay at this adorable little mountain home! Very clean, cozy furnishings and comfortable beds, plenty of linens and amenities. It was perfect for our family of four. The listing is accurate, only one minor detail was off - the listing stated a “drip” coffee pot so we purchased ground coffee and filters - however they have a Keurig. Other than that, we were very happy with the home and would define stay again :)

Easy trip to the ski area

Nice place. Super convenient to the mountain - stayed here with our adult children to go skiing for the weekend. 1/2 the dishwasher was not working so we were running the other half constantly, but that was the only annoyance. Would stay again!

Highland hearth is the perfect place for a ski / hiking vacation! The rooms are perfect size and would sleep at 6 super comfy. Nice handicap ramp our front is a nice touch. The fireplace and family room was the perfect place to sit around enjoy family time. The big table by the hearth was so inviting for everyone! Every morning we were greeting by the local deer!

Absolutely Awesome!

I have no bad things to say about this place. Every year my family takes a trip to the mountains but we’ve already stayed in hotel rooms, this year we wanted to try something different and I can surely say we will be staying here again! It was so amazing from the cleanliness of the home, to the cute little deer that would come up to us in the backyard and let us feed them carrots. Nothing but good things about our stay! We all enjoyed it so much 🥰 Thank you 💞

We had an amazing stay at "Highland Hearth"!!! The owners have truly thought of every amenity you could possibly need. Being a newer rental, they are still improving the yard space, but we LOVED the privacy! Definitely on our list for future return stays!!

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful time in this very cozy mountain house. It was clean as a pin when we checked in. There is a huge living room TV, fast internet, lots of games and puzzles. The kitchen was full of plenty of supplies to cook full meals. The fire pit had ample seating and even though it was right next to the house, it felt like a woodland campfire. There was a short hiking trial access point just next to the fire pit. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and plan on staying here again when I come to the mountains.
