We were so wowwed by this unit that it is hard to put susscinctly but I will do my best.
1. LOCATION
The property is at most 500 feet from slope access, which is half way down a fairly gentle blue trail that leads right to the lifts. No need to mess with Beech Mountain parking or night mare traffic only to find out the lot is full. It is at most 300 feet from the slope shuttle bus stop It is 350 feet from the Brick oven pizza place (good eats and beer) and 100 feet from the grey wolf lodge, where rentals are available. From the time you unpack your things, you can rent skis and be on the slopes in under 30 minutes. Super easy.
2. The Property
The pictures do not do it justice in terms of the space. It is spacious, it seats 14 comfortably just in the living area. It sleeps 6 with two large beds and a fold out couch, plus there are three super comfy recliners which lend them selves to napping. The space is beatifully decorated with a deck that over looks the valley and Sugar Mountain. The kitchen is STOCKED! FULLY STOCKED! Every cooking utensil pot or pan you could want is there, and you are equipted with a variety of spices and sundries (stuff that won't go bad, bring your own dairy), even hot sauce. Meals were super easy, and truth be told I was jealous of her no stick pans. Clean up is a breeze with a dish washer ready to go, and laundry can be done with the washer and dryer. Short term or long term this place has all you need.
3. The Host(ess)
Communication was super easy and she answered all of my many questions. Further, we had a weather event during our stay that made our check out date uncertain. The Host worked with us to make sure that we were kept safe and to give us flexibility in terms of our check out. It is a huge thing to know that you family and friends will not be cast out in the midst of a blizzard, other members of our group, staying in other places did not have my experience .
I give my highest recommendation to this Host and this property. They treated us extremely well, in a space that was pretty much perfect. Once I get the dates for our next trip, I will be looking to rent from them again.
