KEY Curation Notes

2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, sleeps 6 — an intimate cabin on the back side of Beech Mountain, set directly on the banks of rushing Beech Creek. The main level has a king suite with double granite vanity and oversized tile shower; the upper loft has a queen bed, full sleeper sofa, and private bath. Hickory hardwood floors, soaring tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, and a wall of windows make the great room a standout space.
The creek is the defining feature. Beech Creek runs just steps from the front porch down a short flight of rustic stairs — loud, rushing, and fishable with a proper license. This is a property where the setting does most of the work.
Private hot tub and wood-burning fire pit in the rear courtyard. The stone fire pit anchors a proper outdoor dining area with a gas grill. The combination of creek-side front porch and enclosed rear courtyard means the outdoor living options are well-layered for a two-bedroom property.
The kitchen is genuinely well-equipped. Leathered granite counters, a gas cooktop, and a well-stocked setup that comes up consistently as a highlight — notable for a property at this size.
Beech Mountain Ski Resort is less than 10 miles; Sugar Mountain is about 16 miles. The back-of-mountain location means it's quieter and more secluded than most properties in the area, but it's not a ski-in/ski-out setup. Banner Elk and Boone are both under 15 miles.
4WD/AWD and chains required November–March. Valle Crucis is 13 miles away and has grocery options; KEY.co can arrange delivery before you arrive.

Reviews

Logan

We absolutely love this cabin! It truly feels like home! We've stayed here three times now, and every visit has been perfect. The peaceful sound of the creek and the beautiful mountain surroundings make it the ideal getaway. The cabin is spotless, cozy, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. During our stay, we were lucky enough to experience a gentle snowfall, which made our hike up to Sliding Rock and the waterfall absolutely magical. We can't recommend this rental enough and can't wait to come back again!

Things you need to know

Firewood for the firepit may be added anytime prior to 7 days (1 week) before your arrival. Wood is $25/nt and you receive 2 bundles of wrapped kiln-dried wood + 1 firestarter per night.

All properties are set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, bathroom toiletries, laundry detergent, and garbage bags. It’s enough for one or two nights, but will likely not be enough to get you through your entire stay. If you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.

Homes are not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items including plastic wrap or foil. Our homes come equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crock pots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item it is best to bring that from your home.

We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on-site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
