Welcome to Lessons from Mars!

Sitting atop Beech Mountain, this newly built home is the perfect place to settle in. 

The main level, accessed with just one step from the parking area, has a central great room with high ceilings, a wall of windows and sliding glass doors overlooking the views, a stone gas log fireplace, a built in log mantle, and large screen TV. Comfortable furniture is arranged around the fireplace and looking out the windows. Also in the great room is a dining table with room for all, featuring long bench style seating and two cozy head seats. Just steps away you'll find the fully stocked kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances.

Just steps through the sliding glass doors you'll find the gas grill and large hot tub. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views! 

The master suite, in the east wing of the main floor, has a King bed, and a private bathroom with a custom tiled shower, a granite vanity, and a linen closet.

The upper loft suite features a large king bed, with gas fireplace and HDTV. There is a balcony overlooking the large living room, so you'll never miss out on any of the action!

This home was truly designed with everyone’s comfort in mind. Close proximity to Beech Ski Resort means you can hit the slopes during the day and watch the stars twinkle while you soak in the hot tub.

Beautiful area, wild life was an amazing experience.

Had such a great time! Amazing views off the back porch of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we really enjoyed the hot tub too. Nice location with plenty of privacy. Nice layout with plenty of accommodations nearby, including hiking trails, restaurants, and mountain biking! The mother-in-law suite is very private as well!

Overall we had a great time staying here, the views were great and it felt very private. It's a pet friendly location which is a plus for some people but we did have to deal with a quite a bit of pet hair getting on our stuff and the driveway smelled a bit of dog poop. Overall we were happy with the house though.

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.

We felt very comfortable and at “home away from home.” The layout of the house was perfect. We will definitely recommend to others!

This was a great experience with the rental. They helped find us a rental that was very close to our event which was OZ Land. I will definitely be using them again.

We rented this place to celebrate my son's 23rd birthday. The proximity of the property to skiing was definitely a plus. The spacious accommodations and hot tub (especially after a day of skiing and snow boarding) made for an enjoyable weekend.

Great and very clean house. We enjoyed it a lot. The location is very close to everything. Definitely will be back again.

Really enjoyed the opportunity to get away with friends and family to relax and have fun. The property and the location were great. The hot tub made for a great experience after spending the day at the slopes.

This place has beautiful views. In my opinion the location was perfect, close to skiing but not on a frequently traveled road. It was so clean and well put together. The beds were SUPER comfortable. My kids opted to hang out in the mother-in-law suite most of the time when we were at the house. I give it a 10/10. Such a great house, and everyone in our group thought so.

The cabin was pristine, comfortable & perfect for our needs. We really enjoyed sitting & relaxing on the deck, enjoying the fantastic view. I have never stayed in a rental that provided so many household supplies, including soaps, shampoos, toilet paper, towels, cleaning supplies, coffees, etc. Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals was very helpful & quick to respond to my requests. I also appreciated their follow up calls & messages to ensure everything was to our satisfaction.
