What a great mountain experience in the absolute definition of luxury. This cabin had everything you could possibly need to relax and enjoy everything the mountains had to offer. Every morning we watched the sunrise to breathe in the fresh mountain air in our rocking chairs with a cup of coffee. It was a short drive from everything that made this area an explorers dream (Grandfather Mountain, Blue Ridge Parkway) but far enough away that we truly felt as though we were enjoying our own piece of a wilderness escape. So escape to the mountains at Van Beek's Peak, but not too many of you because we are planning on returning next year! Thanks Tom and Anita!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. It is very well equipped with all you could ever need. We especially enjoyed rocking in the rocking chairs on the top deck, watching opening season college football on all the various TV's relaxing in the hot tub, and playing air hockey. However, nothing tops the amazing view. This weekend we visited the Valle Crucis Mast General Store and park and we spent a day in Blowing Rock. The ladies enjoyed a trip to Westglow Spa while the men watched football. On our last night we started a fire in the fire pit and made smores. All in all it was a fun get away with great friendly and family. We hope to be back soon.

Thank you so much for the lovely time in your mountain home. The fresh mountain air combined with the breathtaking view just had a way of transporting you to a little piece of paradise away from everyday life. My family and I loved the cozy feeling of the rustic cabin and all of its amenities... especially the hot tub! It was so nice to soak in the warm bubbly water while the mist rolled in off the mountains from the afternoon rain. The fire pit, the hammock, the bbq, all received good use and contributed to a wonderful vacation. You have a truly, lovely place up here. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Van Beek's Peak - Valle Crucis NC

Welcome to Van Beek's Peak, the perfect vacation home offering stunning views, peace and privacy, all encompassed in a magnificent custom Timber Frame home. The craftsmanship in this home will keep you busy admiring it for hours and hours. Every detail is perfect. The reclaimed woods in the great room are artfully conjoined from old barn wood, pine tongue and groove floors, huge timbers, hickory accents and complimented by lots of windows to bring the view into the home.

The master bedroom on the main level is log and chink with classic bedding, king bed, walk in closets, and master bath with claw foot tub and a walk-in shower. The loft is fantastic with log bed, beautiful and luxurious bedding, massive cross beams and accented with antiques and lovely artifacts. For your convenience, there is also a second full bath on the main level.

The modern kitchen is the cook's delight with marble counters, large farm-style sink, custom cabinets, center island for those who want to join in and again a view, view, view. For family meals, there is seating for everyone. The generously-sized covered deck offers a most fantastic layered view of miles and miles of mountains, dramatic in its changes from sunny, to misty clouds hugging the peaks, to windswept snow. Enjoy the view while sitting on the porch and if raining, there is nothing better than watching the clouds disappear like smoke. Guests often share stories of frequent wildlife passing by including deer and turkey, always a favorite with the entire family.

The quality and beauty continue in the main living area, with rustic and inviting touches throughout. The great room has a glass fronted fire stove to cozy up to and watch both the view, big screen TV and the fire after a day on the area slopes.

Head downstairs and find two more bedrooms, family room, second kitchen and another deck. The first bedroom on this level has a comfortable queen bed, the second offers both a queen as well as two twin beds, great for the kids to share, or young children that prefer to sleep in a room with their parents. There is another full bath on this floor as well. Large families will enjoy the second kitchen on this level, perfect if schedules vary – make coffee or fix lunch on your own time periods. The family room offers another television, games and X Box, air hockey, cozy gas firestove and deck access for another spot to enjoy the great view, or step over to the hot tub, a perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate again while enjoying the breathtaking views.

This three bedroom (plus loft bedroom) home sleeps up to ten more than comfortably. The surrounding area is great for hiking and the location is private yet still convenient to Banner Elk, the Valle Crucis Park and historic Mast General Store, ASU and downtown Boone. You will love the new memories your family creates while staying in this fantastic cabin!

Not the greatest experience

We expected there to be challenges given Hurricane Helene but what we did not expect was to drive through a temporary road that was not disclosed ahead of time. This was very confusing and difficult on our vehicles. Additionally we discovered mice feces under the sheets of 2 beds, had no internet and very spotty cell signal. I really wanted to enjoy and love this property but those issues made it difficult for all of us. Property management is attempting to work this out however I am not impressed with lack of transparency and slow turn times on addressing our concerns.
