Reviews
Bobby
We love to stay on Beech Mountain this time of the year. Great restaurants, beautiful views, and just a long weekend of relaxing and getting a break from the weeks of 100+ temps in Columbia. Loved this house. New build, great hot tub, beautiful views. All furniture is very comfortable. Slept great. I will advise that it's pretty much at the end of the line. That was fine with us but it's definitely secluded. The rental company was awesome to work with. House was very clean. Loved seeing all the deer also. Would definitely stay here again.
