About this property

Bear Branch @ Beech Mtn 4BR~1min ❄️ Skiing-Sledding-Tubing+Views-Hot Tub-Dogs

Beech Mtn and the surrounding areas have been through a lot with Helene. There are many local businesses and restaurants that count on tourism to stay open and pay their employees. Our house had no damages and is ready to rent! We are easily accessible off the paved parkway and minutes from the slopes. Let us know if you have ?s about what is open in our area before booking.

*Ask about our discount for renters displaced or who are volunteering or working in the area to help with the recovery!*

Family adventure, romantic getaway or relaxing break - At Bear Branch you can do it all. We are nestled in the woods with amazing mountain views and the perfect location to chill or thrill. In winter months Beech Mtn is a wonderland with skiing, sledding, and plenty of cozy fires to warm by. Summertime allows you to hike the many local trails, zip line, golf, visit wineries, ride an alpine coaster, or visit a local festival/concert. We invite you to our bit of paradise to reconnect and recharge.

Our mountain cabin boasts a unique layout. All bedrooms are located on the lower level along with two full bathrooms. The upper level is a great open room including fireplace, living/dining, kitchen space with bar, and a 1/2 bathroom. The two levels are connected by a charming spiral staircase. A tree stands tall in the center of the great room and the views are magnificent all the way around. Firewood for the stone fireplace is provided outside as you go upstairs to enter the property. We provide a starter kit of supplies for the kitchen and bathroom (see Welcome Guide for details). Two levels of decking offer vistas of the mountains and wooded areas surrounding our home. Downstairs includes 4 bedrooms with 2 on each side of the hallway and 2 full bathrooms, with one on each end. ***Currently remodeling and will now have updated walk-in shower. Pictures coming soon! *** The hot tub is located on the lower deck with easy access from the bedroom.

Guests will have access to the entire property - with the exception of locked owners closets. There is a security camera on the front of the home facing the parking area. It is for security and to add motion activated lighting to the entrance of the home. It in no way views any areas of the home guests would be using.

We welcome your dog (as we know ours are members of the family) but please limit to one or two dogs weighing no more than 120 lbs altogether (unless given approval). Exceptions may apply for known aggressive/restricted breeds. A non-refundable pet fee applies. Dogs must be on a leash at all times when outside of the home. No cats or other animals allowed. To add one or two pets to the reservation, please select "I am traveling with pets" and the pet fee is automatically added to the host fees.

*The spiral staircase that connects the upper and lower level on the interior may be a bit tricky for small children, those with mobility issues, or pets. But there is easy access to both levels via the exterior stairs.

**Please note that while we are located only 4 tenths of a mile from the ski resort, this route is not conducive to walking. It can be very busy with lots of curves, snow banks, and does not have sidewalks. If you prefer to make the walk, one option is to go up the slight incline of our road (10 min) and you can get to the new beginner slope (Carolina Caribbean). We can provide directions if you wish to walk.

Great mountain home!

Home was clean & very well stocked! The homeowners thought of everything & even had a great selection of dvd’s, books & games. The view from the 2nd level deck is beautiful! I would recommend this home to anyone wanting to visit Beech Mountain & the surrounding areas. You are close to so much! Meredith is very attentive & responded quickly along with answering any questions I had. I have nothing negative to say about our experience.

Winter Wonderland!

This was the perfect holiday getaway with our kids and grandkids. There was snow the whole time, but the house was warm and cozy and had everything we needed. The host family was wonderful and communicated with us frequently. It was close to everything we wanted to do. We are already thinking about our next visit.

Mountain Christmas

We had an amazing Christmas vacation staying in this beautiful home! The house was very clean and had everything we needed! The owners were extremely helpful and responsive! Location was great! Beech mountain is literally around the bend and close to restaurants & general store. We also loved the hot tub and the family of deer who visited us daily. Will definitely be back! Thank you!

Beech Mtn get away

We had a wonderful time in Beech Mountain. The property is located way up the mountain right by the resort. The host was in touch often and made sure all was just right for our stay. Would recommend this place for sure!

Staycation fun!

We had a great time at this vacation rental! Our group consisted of 8 people including 4 kids and 2 dogs. We're local to the area but wanted a place to stay close to the resort and have enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Plus we all enjoyed the hot tub and views! The interior steps were a little precarious be we managed just fine. I would definitely stay here again!!

Close to the slopes

Very cute house, we were a group of 2 families with kids. Kids had a lot of fun with the board games and hot tub. Inside stairs can be tricky so it's safer to use the stairs on the deck for the little ones. If you plan to go ski on Saturday plan to be there early to get a parking spot. It gets busy. Owner was very nice and we had great communication and instructions. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful cabin and amazing Host

Amazing cabin with beautiful views. Decorated with perfection. This is a very accommodating cabin with an incredible host who answered every message and call through a crazy snow storm. Cabin is convenient to ski resort and close to restaurants and Fred’s Mercantile. Would definitely recommend to stay here.

Super Cute, Fun Weekend Getaway

We got a group of friends together for a weekend getaway to the mountains. This was the perfect house for us. It was very clean, had everything we needed, and was close to everywhere we wanted to go. The hosts are wonderful as well. They checked in on us (via Vrbo messenger) to see if there was anything we needed and to see if we were enjoying our trip and stay. We had a fun-filled time and made some great memories with the absolute best of friends. Thank you Meredith and Shelley!
