Stayed Jun 8, 2026What a slice of heaven in the mountains!! Our family enjoyed our stay at the Read Retreat! It was clean, and comfortable. We weren’t expecting so many steps to get into the front door, but we managed. Our grandchildren enjoyed the game room and observing the friendly deer from the large deck!! There aren’t deadbolts on the doors so beware if you have escaping toddlers! We were just a short drive to Beech Mountain which is an adorable little town!! Kimberly was very easy to communicate with!

Stayed Jan 16, 2026The place was super cute and in a really adorable neighborhood! It was very close to Beech Mountain and Banner Elk. We had deer outside every morning which the kids absolutely loved. The owner was super responsive—highly recommend and we’d definitely stay again!

Stayed Jan 8, 2026We had a great long weekend at the Read Retreat! It was the perfect place for a guy’s ski weekend. The property slept 8 comfortably and we had plenty of space to hangout while we weren’t skiing and exploring Beech Mountain a downtown Banner Elk. Thanks so much for sharing your property. 10/10 would recommend staying here!

Stayed Dec 20, 2025The house was perfect for our family. Convenient to Beech, Hawksnest, the alpine coaster, etc. Well kept and charming. We loved seeing the deer around and exploring along the creek out back. The hot tub and game room were a hit with my kids.

Stayed Oct 8, 2025We loved our stay at the Read Retreat! Having four bedrooms and four bathrooms was such a treat. The house was fully stocked with plenty of blankets, towels, and pillows, which made everything super comfortable. Kim even called to welcome us and make sure we got in okay—such a nice touch! Our kids loved the hot tub and fire pit! Just a heads up: make sure to grab your supplies before heading up, because it’s definitely tucked away in the mountains!

Stayed Aug 14, 2025Cabin is immaculate and in a location where deer walk right up to you. The place had plenty of room and was exactly as described. The host Kimberly was great to work with and was very helpful. Definitely would recommend and would absolutely stay here again!

Stayed Jun 13, 2025The Read Retreat was a perfect little cabin with all the “essentials!” It is “UP” the mountain on a few twisty roads but, it’s not a bad drive at all and is in a good location to surrounding areas. We had lots of deer sightings and one black bear as well! I would highly recommend the Read Retreat!
