Description Description

Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast pushing the limits or just looking to relax, your choices at Halftime Haus on Beech Mountain and the high country are endless! Our glorious Spring and Summer climates offer sunny mild days and cool nights, which bestow upon you endless options from invigorating river rafting and mountain bike courses to tranquil serenity rooms at five-star spas, and everything in-between.

Halftime Haus’s ski in/out location is  just a short hike to the top of Beech Mountain. Enjoy a drink and snacks or take a morning yoga class at 5506, named for its elevation and glorious 360 degree views.  Hop on a nearby bike trail or take advantage of the countless hiking trails in the area.

Halftime Haus offers an ideal location for family-friendly activities and events. Almost every weekend hosts an arts/crafts festival, holiday parade or live outdoor music. Tubing, sightseeing, waterfalls, wineries, golf courses, fishing, shopping and a variety of restaurants are just a short drive from Beech Mountain.

And for low-key evenings with family and friends, take advantage of Halftime Haus’s outdoor living spaces: decks on two levels for cookouts with a Weber gas grill and a charcoal burning Green Egg, a 6-person hot tub, and a cozy firepit for stargazing and s‘ mores.

The spacious, remodeled 5-bedroom home is a true ski in/ski out during the winter months along The Meadows, and a bike in/out in the summer & fall months... what more could you ask for! The 3000+ square foot home is only a short walk from Fred's General Mercantile as well as other fun retail and activities on Beech Mountain. The upper garage serves as a mudroom, ski, and bike storage area with a deck walkway to the slope right out the door. You can even ski right to the door! 

Inside, relax in a great room with a high cathedral ceiling and wood-burning stone fireplace. The modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances opens up to a dining area along with a bar and beverage center for effortless entertaining. On the same level are three bedrooms, each with a private full bath. Enjoy the third level loft for additional sleeping and a video arcade table boasting 400 games for rainy days and to keep the kids entertained.  Central heat and air keep you comfortable while a whole-house generator provides security. Stay connected with high-speed internet and six smart flat-screen TVs, two video consoles, and 100s of DVD movies. The lower level provides another den/living area with a brand new pool table, and an additional bedroom with a full bath. Also on the lower level is a luxury master suite—a living space in its own right with a king size bed, sitting area, gas fireplace, access to a private deck area, and a minibar. The en suite bath has a large champagne bubble bathtub as well as a double shower.

Halftime Haus truly makes the perfect destination for year-round adventures! Be it a winter ski trip with family and friends, a summer escape from the city heat, a long weekend getaway during leaf season, or a week during Springtime or over Thanksgiving/Christmas... this property offers everything you need to create memories to cherish for a lifetime! 


Looking to stay longer during a quieter time of year? Stays of 5 or 6 nights outside of summer, fall, and holiday dates automatically receive 10% off posted rates!

There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers.

Beautiful house in perfect location
The house was gorgeous and very clean. We really enjoyed the ski in/ski out. I am not as good of a skier as my husband and was very thankful the home was located a little lower on the slope for my skill level. We would love to rent this home again.

We've stayed in this house 3 times now, and it's always one of our favorite yearly vacations with friends. The location to the slopes couldn't be better. Will stay in this house time and time again in the future!

Winter Wonderland
The Halftime Haus was indeed a Wonderful Winter Wonderland Escape for our family of 11. The house was pure luxury and yet also perfectly met our practical needs, from the 11 month old, to the toddler, the 8,9, and 10 year olds, our sons and daughters-in-laws and us, the grandparents who cannot say enough about the master suite with fireplace, jacuzzi and hot tub. The ski-in and ski-out location on the slopes was perfect for us and very time-saving as the week between Christmas and New Year's must be the busiest of the year. We were fortunate to have snow and beautiful weather for the first days and the night skiing was great, even with fog. The house welcomed us with a little Christmas tree and plenty of personality and the pool table was a surprise bonus which we all enjoyed. Also the game room upstairs for the kids. We hope to be back. It is the perfect spot for a luxurious family gathering.

Great location and nice property
Very nice property in a great location. The master bedroom was awesome and the other rooms were good to. Everyone had their own bathroom, so that was great. Nice Webber outdoor grill with plenty of kitchen items.

Beautiful ski in
We rented the house for my sons 11th birthday and the location was absolutely perfect. The house is decorated really nicely and the rooms are set up for a lot of privacy it was great. We had a couple issues when we first arrived. We got there late at night and the management company quickly resolved it (and even answered our call at 1am!) we stay in beech at least twice a month and this was one of the nicest and conveniently located homes we've stayed in. No complaints other than I wish there was a hot tub ; ) we will definitely be return guests.

My family and I have been staying on Beech Mtn one weekend a year for many years. We have a large family and need lots of room. Halftime Haus is our new find and we hope will be our yearly go to house now. It was everything we needed. The decks outside allowed us to be outside and have room for the 4 year old to run and play, and the inside was gorgeous and stocked with what we needed. The ONLY thing we missed that is important to us, is a long kitchen table for us to all sit together. We are a close family and enjoy cooking and eating together when we go to the mountains. This is the only thing this house was lacking for us. We enjoyed our stay and hope to go back. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with our family!

Fantastic location, so much room
Brought 2 teenage boys, a four month old and 4 adults. So much room. Ski in ski out is actually what it said. I loved the place. Master bedroom is the coolest amenity ever and words cannot describe how awesome is was.

exceptional vacation rental
This has by far been our favorite slope side rental home that we've stayed in. We had plenty of room for our group to have privacy when wanted and absolutely loved all of the outdoor spaces for our group to hang out. Our kids loved the fish pond, swing, and bridge. We were all very comfortable and definitely plan to come again. Our only complaint is a lack of a dinner table. Only 4 people can eat at the bar inside which is not appropriate for a home so large. Other than this small inconvenience, we absolutely loved our stay!!!

Halftime Haus
This was our first time staying at a ski in/out house. It was worth every penny!! We had so much fun watching all the skiers and snowboarders go by the house all day long! Everyone loved how you could just walk right onto the slope and go! And being able to stop for breaks throughout the day. The house was perfect!! Loved how every bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen had everything you need to cook with. The master suite was amazing! The loft was perfect for gaming and cards. The house is on Meadows slope about halfway down mountain. Perfect views!! We loved everything about the house. Plenty of close parking spaces. All beds and furniture were comfortable. House was clean. Close enough to town to walk. We had 8 adults but can hold 12 easy. Very big open floor plan with lots of rooms to accommodate everyone. They have a rack on walkway to hold snowboards/skis. You can enter garage from deck and they have driers for boots! They have lots of games, DVDs, and books. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing Location!!
We had an amazing one week trip to Chateau Shahbazi! It was absolutely as described and even more! The house was not just a house but a home to us. Perfect location! You can walk or take a short drive to some amazing restaurants and the walk to Fred’s for breakfast each morning was so refreshing. I would defiantly rent this home again and especially if I had a big group as there is plenty of room both inside and outside to handle large groups. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!

We loved our stay!
The house is wonderful--we enjoyed all of the fun perks like the firepit, the waterfalls and stream, the incredible spa tub in the master bath, the fun decorations, the many outdoor porches and spaces, and the location right on Beech Mountain. We walked to the top of Beech Mountain and enjoyed the incredible views out the kitchen window every day. As another reviewer noted, the steps up to the loft and down to the master bedroom area are steep. Families with small children might want to bring a portable gate to block off access. The steps weren't a problem for us, but my kids are teenagers. This was a great mini-vacation, and we can't wait to get back to Chateau Shahbazi again!

Wonderful family vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent family ski trip at Chateau Shabazi. We hope to return next year. The home is a true ski/ski out so long as there are several inches of real snow on the ground...and would be a short walk without natural snow to the groomed slopes with snow made by the Resort when the temperatures are below 32°. The home was clean, nicely furnished, with adequate kitchen and dining facilities for our party of 10. The functional fireplace in the main living area is an “old school” wood burning fireplace, without a gas starter. If you want to enjoy fires, purchase firewood...and plenty of starter logs. Parking is on the street, up about 10 steps from the front deck. Views of the slopes and mountains are spectacular. To the owners...thank you for sharing your lovely home with our family and 2 pets!
