- CANCELLATION POLICY - Bookings canceled 60+ days before arrival will receive a refund of the deposit.

- Due to the elevation, 4WD or AWD vehicles are required to drive up Beech Mountain Parkway between November and April as higher elevations receive more snowfall. During inclement weather, chains may also be necessary. Please carefully watch the weather forecast before your arrival so you can plan accordingly. This property also has a steep driveway, so it is VERY important to come prepared with 4WD and chains during winter months! We are happy to help you find a home with comfortable access any time of year!
