We really enjoyed our stay and overall everything was great. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured, and we had a wonderful time. The only reasons we rated 4 stars instead of 5 were related to logistics and kitchen setup. The parking lot was quite small for our larger SUVs, and that wasn’t mentioned in the listing, which made parking a bit challenging. Also, the kitchen could use a few more cooking essentials — there were no large bowls, spices, or some basic items that would make cooking easier. Other than those minor things, the stay was lovely and we would still recommend this place.

This spot was great for our weekend ski trip! It was so close to Beech which made getting to/from the slopes so easy and coordinating coffee breaks, dinners out, etc! The views were gorgeous and the amenities were great! We had a bit of trouble with the wifi (potentially due to the winter storm we experienced while there), thought the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, before, during, & after the trip!

The house was perfect for our visit. We had two families meet up for a few days of skiing and everyone was able to stretch out in their own space. The views were incredible and it was a perfect, peaceful break to relax.

We had a wonderful stay! The location is excellent—just minutes away from the resort—and the scenic views were a lovely bonus. The home is cozy yet very spacious, super clean, and extremely well supplied with everything you could possibly need during your stay. Communication was outstanding; the host was very responsive and attentive to our needs. Overall, a comfortable, well-equipped home in a great location. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Mindis' place is a lovely and cozy retreat, but there are some areas that would benefit from immediate attention. A few windows, doors, and other items in the home require repairs to enhance the overall experience for future guests. With some tender loving care, I believe the space could be even more inviting. Mindi was very responsive and addressed all our requests promptly, which we truly appreciated. However, it might be time to have a maintenance professional come in and fix the minor issues that have accumulated over the years. The wear and tear from various guests is evident, and it would help to address these little details to bring the property back to its optimal state. For instance, there are areas in the bathrooms where the paint seems to have stopped, giving it an unfinished look. Overall, with some attention to these details, Mindis' place has the potential to shine.

Beautiful home with beautiful views. We enjoyed this space as a getaway for our family. Parking is tight for our 3 SUVs but we were able to make it work. The porch view of the mountains was breathtaking and hot tub perfectly placed. We got even got snow on our visit!

This place is so underrated, it had everything, from the relaxing hot tub with outstanding views — to the fun arcade games they had down stairs! This rental is a win- win for the whole family! Not to mention probably the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in!

We had an amazing stay at Mindi’s beautiful home. It was immaculate and incredibly comfortable, with tons of space to spread out and relax—perfect for our large group. The cozy furniture and peaceful vibe made it feel like a true mountain retreat. Especially appreciated that it was pet friendly plus the fully equipped kitchen and game room.

Very responsive host. The house was well kept. The host made us very comfortable and provided things right away. The scenic view was awesome and the night sky was visible because very less light pollution. It’s a perfect home for 2-3 families. Kids had fun playing games and also in the hot tub. The hot tub is located perfectly on the deck and is not just kept in any corner of the house. Overall we really liked the house.

We had an amazing stay at the Beech House! The location is perfect, just minutes from Beech Mountain, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing getaway! The space was beautifully decorated, clean, and spacious enough for our whole group. The views from the deck and hot tub were absolutely stunning!! Mountain sunsets every night were a highlight of our trip. We especially loved the cozy living room, well-stocked kitchen, and how peaceful everything felt. Communication was excellent and check-in was a breeze. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Banner Elk, we can’t wait to come back!
