About this property

Relax & Have Fun in this cozy Beech Mountain cabin

Nestled in the woods of the Blue Ridge at Beech Mountain, make the Dennis Den cabin your next romantic getaway or family adventure.

Whether you are coming up for skiing in the winter, hiking and biking in the spring, experiencing the magic of Wizard of Oz in the summer or taking in the changing of the leaves during the fall. This charming and modern log cabin is the perfect four season destination.

The Dennis Den is off the beaten path but it’s just a quick 5 minute drive to the slopes, restaurants, the free sledding hill and the general store or a 2 minute walk to the Upper and Lower Pond Creek Trail for a nice hike. The cabin is also convenient to Banner Elk (10 minutes), Grandfather Mountain (20 Minutes), Boone and Blowing Rock (35 minutes).

• Cozy up by the Fireplace – don’t worry about chopping firewood, just cozy up to the thermostatically controlled gas fireplace and enjoy the views from the den
• Relax Outdoors – enjoy a book or beverage on the wrap around porch while sitting in vintage bentwood rocking chairs. Take in the beautiful rhododendron, roast s’mores on the fire pit or BBQ your favorite meal on the gas grill.
• Enjoy the Wildlife – see the deer that meander by the cabin nearly every morning and evening, listen for the chipmunks that scurry through the leaves or simply enjoy the birds that frequent the woods.
• Modern Conveniences – you don’t have to lose touch with the real world because the cabin is equipped with all the modern conveniences. WiFi, Cable, Smart TV in the Den with access to Amazon, Hulu, Netflix and Disney+ and the upstairs bedroom has the same along with some board games and puzzles.

The Dennis Den is a log cabin built in 2006 and has a split level design. The Master Bedroom with Queen Bed is on the main floor as are the Den, Dining Area, Full Bathroom and Kitchen. Upstairs is a Second Bedroom with Twin Bunk Beds, a Futon (full) and second Full Bath. With 16 foot ceilings and windows all around, the Den is great place to relax by the fireplace. Should you have extra guests, one of the sofas in Den is a pullout that can sleep 2. For those with a little one, we have also Pack-n-Play in the upstairs closet, so don’t worry about packing one for the trip.

The cabin is fully equipped with everything you’re accustomed to. There are lots of great dining choices in town but should you want to cook, the kitchen has everything you need (Keurig, oven, microwave, refrigerator with ice maker, pots, pans, plates, cups and utensils). If your days ends up leaving your clothes wet or dirty, the main floor has a washer and dryer to get things ready for the next day and there’s a private parking pad can accommodate several vehicles. We provide all the linens and towels, so just bring what you need to make your stay enjoyable.

Our family has made lots and lots of memories at the Dennis Den and we’re hoping you, your family and friends will do the same.

Ski Trip to Beech Mountain
I stayed here last year for a ski trip to Beech and liked it so much that I returned this year. Even though Western Carolina was hit with Hurricane Helene over the late summer, the cabin was in great shape for my stay. The owner once again, went a step above to make sure that I arrived safely as there was a blizzard starting on my arrival day. He was correct in letting me know that a four-wheel drive or AWD would be necessary to get in safely. He also gave alternative directions to get in as one of the main roads to the cabin was closed. We definitely got a dump of snow and my first day on the mountain was a delight. The cabin is a joy to stay at and I definitely love the fireplace! Thanks Robert, I will be staying again.

We enjoyed our stay at this mountain cabin. The area is very peaceful and pleasant to walk around. Very close to Beech mountain ski resort - 0.5 mile or so. Very nice cozy decor and had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you, Robert, for making our stay comfortable.

Owner very considerate.
Upon our arrival the Cabin the weather had become quite treacherous with high winds and flood warnings. Rob was very attentive to making sure we let him know when we had made it in safe. Both our vehicles are all wheel drive and we had no problem. The town does a great job of plowing and laying salt after ice and snow. The parking is very good and it is a breeze to get to and into the Cabin. The cabin was well stocked and clean and very close to the parking lots for Beech Mountain. We had a very good week and would choose the Cabin again. Thank you.

Oz home
Picture of the front of house is misleading. Parking is above and you have to go down a hill. It was difficult for my mother (91). The reason I chose this house was because it only had 3 steps. It was convenient to everything we needed. Could use a good cleaning. Some furniture not dusted, water scum on inside of sink cabinet in kitchen, house had a strange odor.

I spent a month at the property. I had everything I needed to prepair meals, beds were comfy, any issues that arose the owner responded within the hour. Close to the store and restaurants. If I could have stayed longer I would have. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to decompress or entertain your who family.

Summer Stay at Beech Mtn
During our stay we spent most of our time on area trails. The cabin is close to multiple trail sites. This was our first time taking our dog so it was nice that the owner is also a dog owner and was accommodating to us bringing our pet. The cabin was well furnished with kitchen needs and also close to the towns of Beech Mtn and Banner Elk for when we wanted to eat out. Lots of privacy, which we prefer.

Mountains
Very unkempt. When I swept, full of dirt and dog hair. No consideration that guests were coming - closet, bureau, medicine cabinet messy and filled with owners belongings. Oversized furniture in small space. Bugs in light fixtures. Grate over filter never cleaned, spent an hour cleaning it in the bathtub. Poor lighting. Road often closed with daily construction

Deer Meet and Greet
It was amazing to see all of the deer visit the yard. We had at least 8 visit. The house is cozy, perfect for a family or 4 adults. Just stop at the grocery store on your way in and you won't have to leave the mountain. If you go to Banner Elk, make sure you eat at Stonewalls. Its superb!

Plus vs. Delta
First the plus...the kitchen was well stocked, the place was clean and the beds we're comfy. It was very homey. The Delta...improvements.... We had trouble knowing what to do with trash as there was no sticker for recycling center and bears got into outside containers. No fault to owner but it was right on the road with a lot of loud vehicle and foot traffic. It would have been nice to have more deck space as the living area inside was small. Overall, we enjoyed our month and we're happy with the experience.

We will be back! Good Value & Responsive Property Manager - we will stay again!
I'm going to give this an honest review - and let me say we will rent this property again as we found the property manager helpful and responsive & the property was a very good value. Let me start with what we loved about the property - the location was great! Easy access to everything on the mountain - just minutes from Fred's, ski lodge etc While it was just me & my husband staying there, it can comfortably hold a family of five. The listing says it can handle 8 - & it can - but it would be a very tight fit. They were also very flexible with us on allowing our five dogs (we have show dogs) to stay with us. It can be difficult to find a house willing to take that on. The kitchen was well supplied with everything we could possibly need to cook full meals. It also had a great big charcoal grill outside that was perfect for the night we hosted our extended family for a cookout. All appliances are fairly new & all worked well. The master bedroom was small, but had a memory-foam mattress that was very comfortable. Plenty of blankets for cool nights, and plenty of pillows for everyone. The bed had a leg that had been broken (& repaired) - so it doesn't look great, but was comfortable for sleeping. The second bedroom looked very functional - & has its own full bath. Would have been great for kids - their own space to sleep & play. The house has a great porch that wraps around at least half of the house - it was wonderful to sit out there each morning & evening & enjoy the sounds of the mountain. The property feels nice & secluded. Plenty of privacy. Now, some of the things that could have gone better...but are not deal-breakers. We arrived for our one-week stay late on a Saturday night. When we arrived, the house had not been cleaned after the previous guest had departed. We were not happy. BUT Rob was extremely helpful & had the cleaning company there within 15 minutes. They did a great job, & had us all taken care of quickly. The property does not have bear-proof garbage containers...& the mountain has a healthy population of garbage-educated bears. This means that you cannot put trash out of the house unless you know when the trash is collected or driven to the local dump (no info provided on this for our stay). The consequence was a HUGE mess of trash spread all over. Rob did come & clean it up, but it could have been avoided with bear-proof trash cans. Overall, we had a great stay & found management very responsive.

Nice mountain vacation
Really enjoyed our stay here and very relaxing place. Each morning and evening greeted by a family of deer right outside as well so kids loved that. All amenities are well stocked. All was great except had some dead bugs upstairs and in the bathroom but I believe this was the first rental after the restrictions were lifted so has been vacant.

About the host

Hosted by Rob Dennis

Host profile image
I'm Rob Dennis and my daughter Danielle and I live nearby in Hickory N.C. We purchased the Dennis Den in 2014 and have made lot of friends and fond memories at Beech Mountain. Both of us are Ski Patrollers and avid Mountain Bikers and Hikers so we love the outdoors lifestyle and feel there's no better place for it than Beech Mountain. I travel frequently, so I fully understand your expectations of us from a customer standpoint and we will go out of our way to exceed your expectations.

Why they chose this property

When I was looking for a home in the mountains, Beech Mountain was an easy choice. At an elevation of 5506 feet, Beech Mountain is wonderful east coast skiing and the downhill mountain biking has become top notch in the region. The town has that perfect "mountain vibe" and there's always something fun happening, including skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, festivals and concerts. The cabin is far enough off the beaten path to make you feel at one with the environment but close enough to everything (shopping, dining and activities) to make it convenient.

What makes this property unique

We're close enough to everything but far enough off the beaten path to enjoy everything nature has to offer (woods, springs, wildlife and the works). The best part for us is we can take it all in from the comfort of the living room or go outside on the wraparound porch and enjoy it there. If you want a little more, walk down our street to pick up the Upper and Lower Pond Creek Trail.
