The home offers stunning panoramic mountain and valley views year round.

The switchback roads into the neighborhood can be steep, but the view off the balcony is great. I chaperoned a small group (9) of teenage boys and there was sufficient room though 1 or 2 did need to sleep on the couch. Master bed was comfy (may have been memory foam). The kitchen is pretty standard for a rental, but there is a lot of equipment to use that isn't so common - lots of pans & baking sheets, a waffle iron, and even a good set of knives. The play room in the garage is a nice feature. My only complaint was we did have trouble regulating the temp - maybe we would have figured it out after a few days, but it was cold in the morning and hot at night. ##### David C. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth S. Aug 15, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### You Get What You Pay For My family stayed at Woodland Retreat for two weeks. It was a fair value for the price. The views from the deck were really nice. While the house was comfortable and had some updates (e.g., TVs, bedding), this property has serious STRUCTURAL issues and maintenance has been neglected. The house's entire structure is not level (uneven), so every floor--from the kitchen to the deck to the master bedroom--leans in multiple directions. The house has flaking popcorn ceilings, peeling wallpaper, old carpeting, clogged drains, scraped up and unusable cookware, and holes in the screen doors. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay with a nice view and you don't mind any of the above, then I would recommend Woodland Retreat. ##### Elizabeth S. Stayed 13 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucinda M. Jun 28, 2016 #### Only Wonderful Things to Say Our family group of six were all delighted with the layout, the deer peeking up at us, all the thoughtful touches, the sheer beauty of the views. The boys thought the garage gameroom was made just for them. The bedroom/bathroom arrangement worked perfectly. The living area let us comfortably play games and watch a little TV. But who wanted to be inside when the long, large deck has great chairs for watching the changing sky and trees in wonderful breezes, from early morning until the stars came out. The kitchen has every kind of pot, bowl, appliance and utensil you could want. The coffee is a Kuerig -- be sure to bring the little coffee cups that fit, since sipping coffee on the deck in the morning is such a pleasure. Weather a great, cool trea for June. The trails 2 to 10 minutes away are fantastic. The chair lift 10 minutes away is great fun -- although you can drive up there too. As our daughter said, this house provides the perfect blend of serenity and adventure. ##### Lucinda M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### teressa m.

We loved our stay and the stunning views from this house. We had coffee on the deck every morning enjoying the cool temperatures and soaking in the scenery. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I hope we’ll get to stay there again next time we visit Beech Mountain. ##### sherri c.

Our children visited for parts of our stay and loved it! The house is great - all one level and very comfortable - lots of seating, very very comfortable beds, lots of starter supplies, and extremely well stocked with so many kitchen and other items. The highlight is the spectacular view on the huge covered deck, where we ate many meals and watched the gorgeous sunset. Kristen is a fantastic owner/hostess who communicated very quickly in response to all my questions throughout our stay. That was comforting and a real pleasure! There is fast and reliable wifi connection for working remotely and for son's remote classes for school. The TVs are excellent and provide a huge selection of channels. A transfer of membership through Kristen to the Beech Mountain Club is available and was very important to us - we paid the Club a reasonable monthly fee and had full access to everything to which a full time member has access. Kristen maintains her membership for her tenants which is great! The house is 6 -7 minutes from the Golf Club and from Beech Mountain Club tennis, pickleball, pool, gym, and classes. Unexpected perk - Our 2 small dogs became much closer and played together beautifully and they continued that relationship after we arrived home! In a binder by the front door, Kristen provides detailed information about her house and about so many things to do on Beech Mountain, in the surrounding areas and fun towns/cities to visit. We highly recommend the Woodland Retreat as a fantastic vacation spot for friends and family. We plan on returning many more times! ##### Caryn S.

House looked as described on VRBO. If you love mountain experience, this is for you, the view from the house was spectacular! Only reason we rated 4 stars was the no access to garbage disposal, it was a bit time consuming to have to take our garbage to the dump/ recycle area, then get back to the house. Also, the middle bedroom had a very squeaky bed, and ceiling fan, other than that the house was fully stocked and the view from the deck was great. Fred's store is a must to visit as well. If you're going to visit off season for skiing, this is a nice relaxing spot. ##### Richard c. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eddie C.

Weather was cool and perfect for hiking. Views were spectacular from the wrap around deck. The whole family loved all the space we had to relax and enjoy our down time. Kristen was an excellent hostess who provided everything we needed and communicated so quickly. Great memories were made. ##### Eddie C. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ted G.

It's an older property (1974), but I challenge you find a more spacious property with these amenities--that is also pet friendly--for this price point. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and used the grill a couple times. We also enjoyed playing ping pong in the garage. Lots of comfortable seating and nice views! ##### Danan L.

Feb 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Change of Place This was a great place for our family to gather in the midst of the pandemic. The house was spacious and had mostly everything we would need. (A little short on toilet paper and dishwasher pods) The beds were comfortable and the fireplace added real ambiance as well as warmth. The weather (not part of the location) was foggy, rainy and cold. Although we were not afforded the views we had hoped for, it didn't dampen our spirits. We still had the opportunity to ski, visit a farm, a winery and enjoy local cuisine as well as cooking most of our meals at the house. Very relaxing and enjoyable! ##### Lynda S.
