Description Description
Welcome to the Southern Buffalo! This Beech Mountain chalet is nestled on a quiet street and sleeps up to 10.  Conveniently located five minutes from Beech Mountain Resort, you will find this is the perfect place to unwind after a long day of skiing, hiking, biking, or shopping in this quaint mountain town.

Enter on the lower level to the dining room and cozy, newly painted kitchen with all essentials to make you feel at home.   The dining room has an open floor plan that leads you to the family room with vaulted ceiling and beautiful stone fireplace.  Billy, the cabin buffalo, takes his place above the fireplace to greet you to the cabin. The first floor also features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and laundry room.  Two bedrooms have sliding glass doors that allow you to take in the views from the backyard.  

Walk out the master bedroom or living room doors to access the deck with brand new hot tub, propane grill and Andirondak chairs to soak in the views of nature.  In the winter, the deck offers a view of the ski slopes and breathtaking mountain lights at night. When fall comes around, grab a pumpkin ale or brew to see the leaves show off their vibrant colors.   During the summer months, you will feel like you are in a tree house among the lush backyard trees with an average high temperature of 71 degrees from June-August!   Don’t be surprised to see the neighborhood deer happily grazing below the deck in all seasons throughout the year.  

Upstairs you will find the open loft area with four twin beds and a third bathroom.  Practice your best deer hunting skills with your friends with the Big Buck Hunter arcade game.  
Venture to App State/Boone and Blowing Rock in under 45 minutes from the cabin’s driveway.  Shop, eat, or cheer on the Mountaineers while settling down for the night in the quiet town of Beech Mountain.  Kids will love the close access to fun activities in Banner Elk like the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster, tubing adventures, arcade and more.

Lovely for a family ski trip
This was a wonderful location to stay at while skiing at Beech and Sugar Mountain with a family of 4. The hot tub was amazing after and easy pull in parking was ideal compared to some of the surrounding driveways. Weather was great and it was not icy. Cute little Mercantile a few minutes away and everything you'd need, a few restaurants around the area but majority of other things like gas etc was down in Banner Elk. Be prepared for some mountain driving! Overall great experience.

Great location and amenities!
We had such a wonderful weekend at Southern Buffalo. We were able to enjoy the snow and time together. The cabin is very centrally located to “town” and is probably 8-10 minutes from the general store, pizza place with the little snow hill behind it. Having 3 bathrooms was WONDERFUL. It felt like home and everyone had room to spread out. We saw deer right under the porch 2 days in a row and Beech mountain slopes at night are gorgeous. We loved seeing the lights. Highly recommend this lovely home for rental and we will definitely be back.

It was a nice place with a beautiful neighborhood and a responsive host! Close to one of the most beautiful hiking trails at Grandfather Mountain. The host generously extended our checkout to 1 pm :)

An excellent place, for those who want to go skiing in the snow, as it has two ski centers less than 20 minutes from the house.

My family loved the house and location. We were able to take advantage of Beech Mountain hikes and visits to Banner Elk....then enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and watching sunset from the large back porch. Can't wait to come back!

The house was wonderful! Loved it from the moment we checked in until the moment we left. So many deer around and other wildlife, which was fun to wake up to. The house had everything we needed and was very well-equipped. It was a great get away house, especially from the heat. Hoping to go back!

Very accommodating stay, and in a gorgeous setting. I grew up going to Beech and my children will remember their stay here. Description was accurate , clean, and organized. Loved the setting, deer roaming about and lovely morning walks around the neighborhood.

This was our first trip to Beech Mountain and it was so beautiful! We've recently moved to NC from CA and love seeing the east coast beauty. We will return again next year for the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games!
