Host said that happens when they are busy and multiple people shower - known issue. Second day took shower early to avoid the rush, same problem. Welcomes dogs, nice. But limits dog bathroom area to a very small patch of mostly dirt or mud when rainy. The small parking area encumbered with trailers of different sorts. Hosts friendly and dog owners. Needs a little work around the edges. Not a fan of full time residents in an inn setting. Location is its biggest point. Clutter everywhere- old frig units, odds and ends.

What a beautiful place to come relax and enjoy a quick trip to the NC mountains... This quaint B&B…read moreis only a short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway (maybe 5-8 minutes driving) and about 15-20 minutes drive to the Stone Mountain park. It is out of the way down a long driveway, and most likely you'll be greeted by their super friendly dog, Hunter. Jim and Margaret are great hosts, providing freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and lemonade upon arrival. The check-in process is short and sweet and they are available when you need them, but the place is big enough to give enough privacy despite the community spaces. I surprised my bf for his birthday and we came up just for one night. We stayed in the Yosemite room and it was perfect. The king bed was super comfortable, and the room had a ceiling fan, flat screen tv, electric fireplace (for ambiance and/or for heat), and the bathroom had a shower and a jacuzzi tub. It was right around the corner from the kitchen, so in terms of noise, you do hear the clinging and clanging of cooking and cabinets/drawers closing, but it wasn't a major issue for us. If you're sensitive to noise, then I would suggest getting a room on the second floor instead. Our room leads off to an external entrance to the back balcony/porch area so we could come and go from the back door instead of going through the house/common area which was nice. There is always access to coffee (fresh brewed in the morning or a Keurig for afternoon) and hot water for tea or hot chocolate. Upstairs, there is a small fridge that has complimentary can sodas and bottles of water for guests to have. I put our bottle of champagne there to chill. The highlight of the stay of course was the breakfast promptly served at 8:30a. We woke up to a beautiful spread and shared a nice breakfast with nice conversation with 12 other guests. It was family style, so we passed the food around and around until we were all miserably/happily stuffed. Margaret's famous cinnabuns were really delicious - super sweet and fresh. Overall - Everything was clean and just really done well with nice subtle touches throughout the B&B (ie. light music in the background of the common areas, fresh cut flowers in the bathroom and bedside, foaming bubble bath by the tub with a pillow, several candles in the room to assist with creating a romantic ambiance, super plush robes and Bath & Body Works shower products (soaps, shampoo, etc) to use... We definitely hope to come back and enjoy/relax again in the near future :)

This cozy little cabin has a loft bedroom with one bed and a half bath. Downstairs is a living room that is equipped with a pull out sofa bed, perfect of an eight-year-old. The grey stone fireplace and chimney occupy the center of the structure and are beautiful. The full kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee-maker, cups, coffee, tea and there was a plate of fresh-baked cookies waiting for us on the table when we arrived. Just off the kitchen is a full bathroom with a fantastic Jacuzzi tub. But the piece de resistance: the most perfect "settin' porch" overlooking the creek behind. No kidding, the perfect spot for your morning coffee! In the mornings, we walked up the hill to the main house log home with another amazing porch. The innkeepers make a homemade sumptuous breakfast every morning. On the first morning, there was fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, baked grits. On the second morning, we had shirred eggs with ham, waffles, Moravian sugar bread, fruit salad. We enjoyed the breakfast at a common table with other guests, sharing our stories of our journeys and adventures. Delish!!

Brad and his team are the kind of people you hope to find when you travel. From the start, everything was easy, efficient, and stress-free. The equipment was in great condition, the pricing was very fair, and the location between both mountains made everything so convenient. What really set them apart was how they treated us. We didn't feel like tourists just passing through. They welcomed us like family, took the time to make sure everything was just right, and genuinely cared about our experience. After dealing with the usual hassle of resort rentals in the past, this was a completely different experience in the best way. We had such a great time on our first trip that my husband and son actually went back again a month later and rented from them again. That alone says everything. We will 100% be coming back and won't rent from anywhere else. If you're heading to Sugar or Beech, do yourself a favor and go to The Ski Shack.

We have skied Sugar off and on for three residence periods in the Carolinas. Beech Mountain is…read morenearby, so many skiers frequent both. In our case, our son and his family rent a condo and we join them for a family ski together. I pity the people who have never experienced the great snow of the Rocky Mountains and in New England and Utah. Sugar and Beech have to work awfully hard to make up for Mother Nature's short-fall of natural snow. Snow is primarily man-made. And those crews work like crazy all night so long as the temperature is under 40F. Hoses are moved and water is sprayed so as to freeze and fall to the ground as snow. It is quite an effort. The upper parts of Sugar have plenty of snow, but with the regularly over 32F temperatures, the snow is crusty and icy. The lower parts can get pretty ugly with mud puddles and scant coverings of snow. But...it is close to Charlotte and a half-day drive from most of the Carolinas and that is what we have...so we use it and accept it as it is. There is a large parking lot way down at the highway entrance that is serviced by regular shuttle bus services. Slide your skis into the racks on the side of the bus and hop on to get to the lodge. The lodge is roomy with a wall of glass facing the slopes. Tables are plentiful, restrooms are clean and well maintained and security is constantly roaming the building and outside. The snack bar is really great. The prices are less than you would expect with burgers, BBQ and specials running between $6 - 8. A family of four can have a decent lunch without having to mortgage their house. And the workers/staff are so friendly, acting as if you are visiting their personal kitchen. It is living southern hospitality, for sure. Sugar lift tickets are priced by ages. Adults (over 12 YO) all-day are from $44 to $74 with Sundays most expensive. Juniors (5 - 11 YO) all-day are from $35 - $51 and Children (4 and under) ski free. They frequently have specials, like March madness where rates are lower. And there are half-day lift tickets, twilight and night skiing. Slopes are lighted. Military rates are granted at about half-price with military government ID cards and this courtesy is extended to spouses and dependent children. And best of all: 70 years and older ski for FREE! Just go to the office, inside the lodge after showing proof of age. Have to do it every day as they do not sell multi-day lift tickets. They have rentals a skis and snow boards and there is a crew of instructors that you can learn from in groups or private lessons. And the instructors are wonderful with small children. Our 4 year old is now a good little, in-control skier and the 8 & 11 grandchildren do just fine. The whole family hits the slopes. The skiing is not great but you can enjoy. And the resort has tubing, ice skating

The servers that were passing around h'orderves were often standing around and talked amongst themselves. Towards the end of the night I saw about 6 of them sitting down next to the dance floor. I found the staff here to be quite unprofessional. However, they were all very nice. That is not the reason people come here to have a wedding reception. People come to this mile high destination for the views. When you first come through the front door, you see right through the beautiful building to the spectacular view that this gem has to offer. Windows surround the back of the building which leads out to massive balcony. The sense of euphoria of being in the town that has the highest elevation on the east coast with spectacular views and fresh air is exactly where two young lovers should celebrate the vows they have just given to each other. There are many vacation rentals and some hotels for people to stay at in the area. I recommend you get your guests a shuttle service so they do not have to drive. The roads are windy in this area. One problem with the building... It is long, most likely to maximize the views from the inside. The problem with this, is that it is difficult to hear the speeches being made from the middle if you are on the end. To this date Beech Mountain Club is the best place to have a wedding I have ever been to, and for that I give this place 5 stars.

Property Review "Rest Assured", 193 Abbie Trail, West…read moreJefferson, NC Carolina Mountain Properties & Rentals 8 N. Jefferson Ave. West Jefferson, NC 28694 Rented house "Rest Assured" from Sept 7 through Sept, 25, 2021 - cost $6172 Expectations: For this amount of money ($342 per night), we expected a well-furnished and appointed Mountain Cabin, regrettably, it was not. Instead, we found a neglected and uncared for older house. It was simply not up to our standards for a rental! Our Prior Experience: As previous VRBO house owners in Boone and Blowing Rock, NC, we always were sure that our renters "got what they paid for" ................ A well-managed, clean, up-to-date, well-furnished and outfitted with all utensils and amenities needed. Our previous experience with VRBO has been very positive, up until now. Jennifer at Carolina Mountain Properties was responsive to our requests, but she could not have given us what we expected with this house. This house was not what we have previously experienced on VRBO What was Experienced Light bulbs out in numerous locations (we found bulbs) Light fixtures old and cheap No chairs suitable for sitting out on the back deck, instructions were to drag from house Fan broken and not repaired as requested Toilets often needing plunger to clear Scalding hot water in showers due to complex plumbing fixture Mold in downstairs room Furniture very old, worn out and dirty No cue sticks available for pool table (corrected) Downstairs radio not working Dangerous stairs, two falls Parking inadequate and difficult Numerous screens missing Several old and missing blinds (3 were replaced) No water glasses (corrected) No wine glasses (corrected) Broken pull out kitchen cabinet (repaired) No cutting board in kitchen (corrected) Décor outdated and dirty Decking splintered Kitchen Utensils skimpy Linens need replacing Junk under the house Slippery bathtubs as showers, no handholds Old Christmas dishes .... really ETC. In summary, this house is showing age, needing maintenance and upgrades. Had we known the condition, we would have selected another VRBO. It was not worth the $6182 we paid. We requested refund from Carolina Mountain Properties, but rejected. Disappointed.
