Cool Mtn Escape - Hike & Bike - Mtn Views - Hot Tub

Great location!

Great views and access to the ski slopes. Loved it was within walking distance to restaurants.

Absolutely amazing stay! The mountain views and seamless access to the slopes were easily the highlights of our trip. Having a hot tub to relax in after a day of skiing was a fantastic added benefit. We couldn't have asked for a better location or experience! Be sure to checkout the Virtual Tour!

Great place.

Everything was as it should be! Nice place and will be a good place for when the resort is open.

You cannot beat this location for a Beech Mountain ski trip! It’s located right across the street from the slopes, specifically the top of Lift # 1, which accesses the Lower Shawneehaw trail, a gently sloping blue, making it incredibly convenient for even novice skiers. We bought our lift tickets the evening before and rented our equipment at Fred’s (near the chalet) so were able to avoid any crowds at the lodge and immediately start skiing when the lifts opened the next day. It was also easy to ride the lift back to the chalet for lunch or an outfit change in the middle of the day! The chalet was cute and cozy and offered excellent views of the surrounding mountains. The appliances were a bit dated and the cabin slightly drafty, which we’ve found to be common in rentals in this area, but we stayed warm with well-placed heaters. Communication with the host was excellent- the dryer broke the first time we tried to use it and they sent someone out to replace it on our second morning. If you’re comparing Banner Elk ski resorts, we found Beech to be similar in size and slope variety to Sugar Mountain, but much preferred the dining options around Beech. Though word to the wise, skip the tubing hill at Beech, which isn’t steep enough to make it to the bottom of the run without lots of walking, and a waste of time and money. Otherwise, great ski trip destination!

Great place with ease of access to the slopes!

Great location, house was spectacular, excellent ski conditions, West Bowl was open. No lift lines either side of mountain. Wind was brutal, it was awesome skiing. thanks for a great location and place to stay a few days with family.

This house is perfect for skiing walk out the door and to the ski lifts. The grandkids love the yard plenty of area for playing on the snow. Thanks for the Christmas decorations I loved them. Highly recommend.

The little chalet is as advertised, location was great and we enjoyed our stay from that perspective. But, there was garbage in the house from the previous guest, crusted food on the silverware, plates, and bowls, stains on the towels, carpets that needed us to vacuum because of the dirt and garbage on the floor, and a window that was left open and would not close (maybe it was frozen in that position), but it froze us because of the freezing temperatures. Then all the garbage cans out front were full to capacity, and we were unable to remove our garbage because there was no place to put it. I hate negative reviews, and the place was a cool little place to stay. But our family was grossed out and had to spend 45 minutes cleaning the house so we could stay the weekend.
