Cozy 4BR Cabin @ Beech Mtn - Skiing, Sledding, Views, Fireplace, Hot Tub, & Dogs

Family adventure, romantic getaway, or relaxing break? At Bear Branch, you can do it all…thrill or chill! Located on a large wooded lot with amazing views and conveniently located off the Beech Mtn Parkway. In summer, hike the local trails, golf, visit wineries, ride a zip line or alpine coaster, or visit a local festival/concert. Winter turns the mtn into a wonderland with skiing/sledding and a hot tub or cozy fire to help stay warm. We invite you to our mtn 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. Two bedrooms have queen beds, one has bunkbed with a twin over queen bed, and a twin daybed with a twin trundle. The 2 newly remodeled full bathrooms are found on each end of the hallway. One has a walk-in shower and the other has a bathtub. The hot tub is located on the lower deck with easy access from the bedroom.

***Please note***
There is construction at the property next door that is nearing completion in early November 2025. Most of the outdoor work is complete, but guests may experience some noise during weekdays from 8am-4pm including sounds from equipment and construction activity. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as the work is temporary and beyond our control.

-While we are located only 4 tenths of a mile from the ski resort, we are not technically a ski in/out as this route is not conducive to walking. It can be very busy with lots of curves, snow banks, and does not have sidewalks. One option is to walk our side road up a slight incline (10 min) and you can get to the new beginner slope (Carolina Caribbean). We provide directions if you wish to walk.

-Message us and ask about our early check-in & check-out options.

-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.

-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" under "Travelers" when booking and the pet fee is automatically added to the host fees.

-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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
