Description Description

Experience this one of a kind unique family retreat! Originally built as a Girls' camp in the 1920's, this beautiful property has been lovingly updated and restored to become the perfect haven for your loved ones' getaway. With an expansive yard ideal for outside play, a babbling brook, a fishing pond, tennis courts, and a unique covered picnic area with grill, plus six bedrooms on three levels, this property offers everything you could need for a wonderful mountain getaway.

Enter Beech Haven with just a couple steps from the large paved parking area. You’ll walk into the kitchen, efficiently laid out to make meal prep a breeze for even the largest groups and offering a big selection of cooking utensils and dinnerware as well as a butcher block peninsula and stainless steel appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a dining area featuring a long dining table with room for 12 people to dine, and there’s three extra bar stools at the kitchen counter as well.

Through an archway beyond the dining area is a spacious living room, a wonderful place to gather together and make memories. This room has a wall of windows overlooking the views and the big yard, as well as a selection of furniture, a fireplace, and a TV. The three-season room is accessed through this room, as well. There is also a ladder-accessed loft off the dining area, leading to a carpeted balcony area – the perfect place for kids to hang out with a book!

Off the dining area is a hallway. Here you’ll find two suites, each with a Queen bed and attached full bathroom. There’s also a flight of stairs leading to the top level, which is entirely comprised of the master bedroom suite. The master suite features two Queen beds and a private bathroom with a shower.

Downstairs is another huge gathering space, with an L-shaped sectional, large TV, poker table, laundry area with two sets of washers & dryers, and a side room with a pool table, shuffleboard, arcade table, and ping pong table. There’s also three more bedrooms on this floor: one with a Queen bed, one with two Twin beds, and one with two sets of built-in twin bunk beds. These three bedrooms share two unique bathrooms, as each bathroom features two side-by-side showers in a modern nod to the house’s beginnings as a girls’ camp over a century ago.

As many wonderful things as Beech Haven offers inside, the outdoor area is just as exciting. There’s a stone patio behind the house for enjoying the cool mountain air, as well as a huge mostly flat yard with a private, fenced-in tennis court, a stone fire pit area, a stream-fed pond accessed by a bridge over the stream, a hammock, and best of all there’s a large pavilion with woodburning fireplace, oversized charcoal smoker grill, and two long tables for everyone in your group to sit and enjoy an outdoor meal.

Beech Haven is nestled at the base of Beech Mountain, just 5 minutes to downtown Banner Elk and yet feeling like you’re miles away from it all. Come relax, renew, and make new memories with your loved ones today

Our family of 12 absolutely loved Beech Haven. The property had so many places to be together as a family or have some quiet solo time. There was just about anything you could think of for your stay provided. The location was excellent for seeing surrounding areas. Would definitely stay here again

We loved the property! Location location location, only a few minutes from downtown, very easy access to everything. Best part was the size, plenty of room for the holidays with 2 families. The house was decorated for the holidays, which was a huge plus. The home had EVERYTHING you would ever need with regards to cooking and entertainment. The weather was perfect for outdoor tennis and pickle ball, so we took full advantage of our own tennis court! Small note, no king beds, even in the master. Not a huge deal for us, but something to know, if you'll be there for long periods.

We stayed at a rental called Beech Haven... it was a former girls campground and had all kinds of fun historical memorabilia all over the house. We absolutely loved it! So much charm! So much space! Our kids had SO much fun! You do have to keep in mind that it's an older home so it has a few older home issues, but that didn't bother us at all. Very accommodating for a large group and lots of extras! It's not very often that you get somewhere and it's better than the pictures! I definitely felt like this place was! We were happy that we chose this property and will definitely be back! Also, Blue Ridge Mountain rentals did a good job as far as management.

Loved the view. It was snowing while we were there and the children enjoyed making snowmen and sledding. We had plenty of room. Loved being able to sit us all at one table. We will stay again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beech Haven
We had a large family group at Beech Haven. The property is amazing. The grounds are spectacular! We had so much fun on the tennis courts, pavilion, lawn and creek. The property was an old camp and we felt we were at camp for the weekend. The home was well stocked for a large group and we were in want of nothing. The rooms downstairs are heated with space heaters. I feel the downstairs would be cold in the cold winter months, that is the only negative. **RESPONSE FROM MANAGEMENT**: The lower level of the home has a mini-split system for main heating & cooling in addition to a total house HVAC system. The space heaters are for extra heat as needed and there are fans for extra cooling as well.

What an amazing house!
What an amazing house! We loved the spot - perfectly located and appointed for our group of four families! Lots of space for the kids to play and we loved the outdoor fireplace and pond. Great communication from beginning to end, we will be back!

We had the pleasure of staying at Beech Haven for a week this summer. Our family of 7 adults and 4 kids had a wonderful week. Definitely one of our top vacation rental experiences ever! Beech Haven is conveniently located, within minutes of Banner Elk, close to hikes, wineries, and other area fun. While directly off a main road, the property feels very secluded. Having lots of space, both outside and inside, made for a relaxing and stress-free vacation. If you are considering booking, do it! You will not regret it.

Easter Family Vacation
The property is amazing!!! The history is a must read. My family (ages 4 months to 79 years) was so impressed and had a fabulous time. My husband and I were impressed that not once did the kids get on their "devises". They enjoyed every minute outside on the property. And, the adults enjoyed the our door fireplace every night. Very, very relaxing (especially with a glass of wine-lol). I could go on and on - but I will tell you, it is a must stay if you are going to the mountains. We will plan another trip. Thank you!!!

our stay was absolutely lovely! the location was super convenient to Beech Mountain Ski Resort, which was where we spent most of our time. when we weren't on the slopes, this home had PLENTY to offer towards entertaining and everyone in our group. this home had everything you could have thought to need. from cooking equipment, bathroom needs, games, tvs, speakers & my personal favorite was the christmas decorations. everyone in group was sad to leave, after our week bc it was so homey it felt like we lived there & didn't want to leave.

We booked this house on a lark to celebrate my father's 70th birthday. We thought the listing look nice, but let me tell you it doesn't come anywhere close to expressing how beautiful and well appointed this place is! It is a perfect house to keep a big group entertained. We will definitely be back!

Beech Haven
Thank you! What an interesting property this was. The history was intriguing and our 4 girls had THE.BEST.TIME. on the property from archery to tennis to just plain old foot races on the lawn. The musicians in the crowd held nightly jam sessions under the shelter with the fireplace going; and the porch was a favorite hang out for all of us. We also found Blueridge Rentals wonderful to work with (and I'm a travel agent) so I will be recommending you to travelers for sure!

Beech Haven
I rented a home for a family skiing trip in the Boone, NC area. Beech Haven was perfect for our family of 5 kids (4-15) and 5 adults (37-68). Lots of space, a beautiful decor and a picnic pavilion that we used for dinner/cook out one night. Close to Sugar mountain and Beech mountain. Everything was there and in perfect condition. Your family will love it!

Perfect for a family gathering
Our stay at Beech Haven was wonderful! There were seven adults (ranging in age from 30-84) and two children aged 4 and 18 months. The outdoor space was beautiful and we enjoyed the "picnic shelter" with fireplace every day. The house is cozy and spacious at the same time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful house with my family.

Stunning grounds! A fantastic family retreat!
Stunning grounds made for a fantastic family getaway. We enjoyed the lawns, tennis courts, fire pit at night, and morning hikes up the back trail. The house was delightfully nostalgic while updated with all the modern comforts and fun appointments. Location was ideal for access to hiking and fishing as well as a lovely afternoon in the local town park. Hope to return for a summer stay!
