Description Description
Dog-Friendly Seasonal View Chalet with Private Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Creek & Waterfall

Escape to the peaceful beauty of Beech Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountains at this spacious, dog-friendly chalet nestled on almost an acre of wooded property. With three levels of living space, furnished decks, a private hot tub, fire pit, and hiking trails leading directly from the backyard, this mountain getaway offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and outdoor adventure.

One of the property's most special features is its natural mountain setting. A trail leads directly from the backyard to a scenic area with a running creek and waterfall, and the soothing sound of the water can be heard from the home's furnished decks. Enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by the trees, relax in the hammock, soak in the private hot tub, or gather around the fire pit beneath the stars.

The property offers seasonal mountain views and plenty of space to spread out while still keeping you close to everything Beech Mountain has to offer, including skiing, hiking, dining, attractions, and year-round outdoor adventures.

Mountain Living — Inside & Out
Spread across three levels, there is plenty of room to relax and enjoy your stay. Start the morning with coffee on the deck, spend the afternoon exploring the trails, unwind in the hot tub, and finish the evening around the fire pit.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, couples' getaway, ski trip, hiking adventure, or mountain escape with your dogs, there's plenty of space to slow down and enjoy the mountains.

Fully Equipped Kitchen
The well-appointed kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, generous countertop space, and the cookware, dishes, and utensils you'll need to prepare meals during your stay. Gather around the dining table for six, or take your meal outside and enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings.

Comfortable Living Area
After a day of hiking, skiing, sightseeing, or exploring Beech Mountain, settle into the comfortable living area and stream your favorite entertainment on the flat-screen TV.


Fast Wi-Fi & Dedicated Workstation
Need to stay connected? Fast Wi-Fi and a dedicated workstation make it easy to catch up on work, school, or vacation planning while still enjoying a relaxing mountain getaway.

Dog-Friendly — Bring the Whole Family
Your dogs are welcome here, too! The chalet accommodates up to three mature, well-trained dogs, so you can enjoy a mountain vacation without leaving your four-legged family members behind. An additional pet rent of $25 per pet, per night, plus tax applies. Pets other than dogs are not permitted. For the enjoyment and safety of all guests, please pick up after your pets and properly dispose of all dog waste. Please do not leave pet waste in the yard, along the trails, or anywhere else around the property.

The owners of this home really put a lot of thought into every detail for their guests comfort. Firstly, the location is secluded and not right on top of a neighbor. There is a fantastic fire pit out back. There is a swing for kids, a tie out for your dog along with kid and pet friendly gates for all the decks and walkways. There is even a fenced area for your dogs to do their business. The lower deck has a large hot tub for complete relaxation after a days hike or winter snow activities! Inside is great!!! It is clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen is very well stocked and has a 5 burner gas stove. The living area has plenty of seating….and the sofas are extremely comfortable!! Even has a working gas log fireplace!! There are tons of games to play also, as well as some small kids books and blocks, coloring books…etc! The beds are comfortable as well as the linens. There were plenty of towels and accessories for all 3 bathrooms. The upper deck has 2 CLEAN grills and a large awning with comfortable outdoor seating. There are hooks everywhere to hang coats, towels or anything needed. There is even a cute little dog nook with treats, shampoo and a paw washer as well as a pet bed. We loved this home!! Check in and check out were so easy too!! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!!! - Denise A., September 2022 (review left under prior management)

We enjoyed this house! It was well cleaned and the kitchen was stocked nicely. Although we didn't use it, it was nice they were dog and child friendly. The hot tub was a nice asset after a long day of snowboarding. - Maddie K., January 2022 (review left under prior management)

This home was a great place for my wife and I to spend our anniversary together. Great finishing touches and thoughtful additions that made the home unique. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook or grill a great meal whether you’re there as a couple or you bring the whole tribe with you. - Brad P., June 2022 (review left under prior management)

The house was very nice, well cleaned, and very cozy. Conveniently located near the ski resort, but far enough to feel isolated(in a good way). I would rent again next ski season. - Daniel F., March 2024 (review left under prior management company)

My family thoroughly enjoyed our Beech Mountain vacation at the Bee & Bae Hideaway. We formerly lived in the High Country, and this well-appointed vacation home had everything needed for a multi-day stay. The home's back deck extends treehouse-like into the hardwood forest, and Beech Mountain's trail network is a short, steep walk from the back door. It was a great home base for day trips to Boone, Parkway, Roan Highlands, Valle Crucis, etc. We also enjoyed proximity to Beech's hiking trails and other summertime amenities. Our stay in this great home was made even better by the owners' attention to details like: plenty of split & dried firewood for outdoor fire pit, clear & simple instructions for hot tub, easily accessible cleaning supplies, WiFi repeaters throughout the house, extra pet supplies, and a chalkboard in the kitchen with useful info about the house & neighborhood. We would definitely stay at this home again, especially during the summer when the mountain weather provides much-needed respite from the heat elsewhere in the South. Note that like many homes in the High Country built on steeply sloping lots, this property is designed with 3 floors of living, which means lots of stair climbing. The upper two levels (plus the entry steps) are visible in the photo of the front exterior. This was not an issue for us, and we appreciated the great lighting, interesting views, and refreshing ventilation on each level. Just be aware that the home has lots of stairs and may not be appropriate for those who have concerns about parking, sleeping, and main living areas on different levels. - Ryan E., July 2023 (review left under prior management)

We take a daddy/daughter ski trip every year! There were 3 dads and 3 16 year old girls, the house is cozy, nicely updated, and has plenty of room for six. (recommend the bunks for littles only) It was about a 6 to 10 minute drive from Beech Mtn. We enjoyed cooking at the house, playing games, the fire pit, and the jacuzzi - apres ski! Thank you for a wonderful stay! - Daniel B., February 2026 (review left under prior management

Enjoyed a long weekend trip to the mountains!! Wonderfully appointed home tucked away in a wooded paradise. All amenities were on site and the house was very well kept. Hot tub was amazing after a day in the slopes. The serenity of being in the mountains but also a close drive to Ski Beech and Banner Elk. Would highly recommend and looking forward to our next trip! - Amy J., February 2022 (review left under prior management)

This was the perfect home for our family and friends (4 adults and 6 kids). It had everything we could have possibly needed! The woods surrounding the house made for a perfect adventure for the kids. The house was decorated so cute. It was in a great location also. - Brittni O., October 2022 (Review left under prior management company)

Our family of five adored this home! The touches are so personal, even down to the fall accents in the house during October. The supplies were fantastic and we made pancakes on the provided griddle one evening! While there, we saw deer roaming the property each day and enjoyed the peaceful mountain surroundings. The home is a quick drive up beautiful Beech Mountain and just outside Banner Elk. Boone, Valle Crucis and Blowing Rock are all within a reasonable driving distance and Grandfather Mountain is right around the corner! Inside the house are cozy furnishings and decor that is “mountainish” without being cheesy. The house felt like home away from home and was a great place to relax and spend time together. We will absolutely be back! - Brittany K., October 2021 (review left under prior management)

This house sits way up on the mountain with awesome scenery along the way. The layout was perfect with the living area on the top/main floor and the bedrooms down on the 2nd and 1st floors. The kitchen had everything we needed for making great meals to enjoy either at the large table or outside on the deck. The hot tub and Adirondack chairs around the fire ring were great for relaxing at the end of the day. We saw deer in the back yard everyday! Would definitely recommend this house to anybody looking for a place near the Banner Elk -Beech or Sugar Mountain areas. - Charleen B., August 2023 (review left under prior management)

Absolutely loved our stay in Beech Mountain! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bath home was the perfect mountain getaway. The hot tub was amazing after a day of exploring, and the fire pit and horseshoe area made for great evenings outside. The location was incredible—surrounded by privacy, hiking trails, waterfalls in the backyard and beautiful mountain scenery. We even got to enjoy seeing wildlife right around the property, which made the experience feel extra special. If you’re looking for a peaceful mountain escape with plenty to do without sacrificing privacy and comfort, this place is a perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back! Already scheduled our next stay!

Wonderful to hear the hot tub, fire pit, and horseshoe area added to your evenings, and that the private location, trails, backyard waterfalls, and wildlife made the stay special. We look forward to hosting you again on your next visit. - BRMR
