Mountain Retreat with Something for Everyone

Welcome to Mile High Lodge!

This stunning 6BR/5BA home sits on top of Beech Mountain, with sweeping, long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, within walking distance of the Oz Run at Beech Mountain Ski Resort. There is easy access to skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and snow tubing. Enjoy National Championship mountain bike trails with something for every skill level in the summer. Just a fifteen (15) minute drive away, the Beech Mountain Buckeye Recreation Center offers fantastic hiking and a large playground, along with fishing, canoeing, and paddle boating. Dining on Beech Mountain includes some local favorites like the Mile High Tavern, the Brick Oven Pizzeria, and Alpen Restaurant, to name a few. A few miles down the mountain is the town of Banner Elk, with groceries, gas stations, and shopping.

Great View, Mediocre House
Unfortunately the views at the house are not enough to overcome the lack of cleanliness and quality of amenities in this home. We arrived at 6pm on our check in day and the house was filthy. Dirty sheets and towels, dirty floors, crumbs on tables/counters. We called the rental company and they did get a cleaner - but due to the remote location, we did not get a cleaner finished with the house so that we could move into our rooms until after 11pm. We lost the first night and had to have all 13 of us sit on the deck until they were done. The rest of the week was spent mostly outside the house at wedding events and hiking the area - such a beautiful location. The kitchen, bathrooms and overall house are 'okay' - but clearly has been overused and not fully taken care of. No cushions on the outside furniture, wall hooks that fall off the walls when towels are hung on them, no kitchen knives (had grilled steaks and had to use pizza cutter to cut pieces). If the home got a mild update and deep clean, the next people may have a better, more satisfying experience.

Beautiful location with hiking trails close by. Appliances in kitchen were a challenge the oven and various outlets were unable to be used together. The hot tub was not operable although the property managers tried. This would have been a deal breaker for us when renting if we had known. Great space for multiple families and we would definitely stay again.

Lovely Place in the Clouds
Overall the place is as described. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had all the tools we needed for cooking and the house was well equipped. The hot tub was a nice bonus with the views of the mountains. The movie and game rooms were set up wonderfully. Our large group was allowed to spread out and never felt on top of one another. The only thing that could be improved on was keeping up with the small maintaince items in the home to keep the home stellar.

Gorgeous view
We are a group of 9 friends, ages 68 - 73, who enjoyed our 4-night stay. The beds were great; there was room in the living room for enough comfortable seating for all of us after we temporarily moved 2 chairs up from downstairs; the kitchen was well-stocked (the bowl and fork issues noted in other reviews had been resolved, although there still isn't an electric can opener); the 2 tables each seat 10 people. The furnishings are in good shape. The hot tub was clean & its temperature was nice & hot. The bathrooms (5) were nice; the upstairs (3 bedrooms, 5 people) has only one bathroom, but the main floor non-dedicated bathroom also had a shower. The house had been satisfactorily cleaned. We're actually giving the house 3 & 1/2 stars, because although the weather got down into the 30's at night, we couldn't get the Nest-type thermometer to maintain 70 degrees - it kept reverting to a setting of 59 degrees a few minutes after being set. We were following the directions given by the office to set it, and several of our members were familiar with using this type of thermometer. We'd estimate that the actual temperature of the main floor was in the mid-to-upper 60's during most of the days, low 60's on arising until mid-mornings. This would have been less of an issue if the wood fireplace in the living room has been usable, but it had been filled with plastic cacti and a cheap set of battery-operated "candles" with dead batteries, clearly indicating that the fireplace was not to be used, which was a real disappointment. We used blankets from the main-floor hall closet and our own personal lap blankets to stay warm. The kitchen and kitchen dining area were warm enough due to cooking, but the bedrooms were pretty chilly. The LR thermometer controls the entire house. We didn't use the small outside gas "fireplace" as the tank was old & rusted & there were no operating instructions - it felt unsafe to try it. Some members felt that the house needs maintenance (main microwave is out-of-order (a smaller countertop model was present); messy, dirty garage; wood trim needs re-nailing in the LR over the window; an upstairs closet door is difficult to operate and then couldn't be closed; the main floor bathroom door needs trimming (big scrape on the floor where it's dragging). Although these things did not detract from our enjoyment, they caused some to gripe about the cost. An informational notebook needs to be provided.

Great place for our family reunion
Really a nice quiet location and house, even though Google maps has no clue how to get there, CCR sent out written directions that were helpful. The house was clean when we arrived and everyone one was very pleased with the three levels and the bedroom/bathroom options for each family. The game room was a big hit for the older kids and adults when we were not out enjoying the many attractions in the area. What we really did appreciate was the thoughtfulness of providing for very young children with a couple of cribs and step stools along with the kids nook for the in between age children. The decor was nice and did not have to move items higher out of reach for our smallest toddlers. The kitchen was well equipped and served our group of 16 well. Overall a great place to stay and enjoy family and the many attractions in the area.

Mountain top getaway
The house suited our group nicely. We liked the privacy that this house afforded us, it felt like we were the only ones on the mountain….other than the deer. Lots and lots of deer. We loved that we could walk to the Emerald Outback trailhead where there was a hike suitable for anyone in our group. We walked up the mountain too and enjoyed having a drink at the bar on Beech Mountain ski slopes. Easy and pretty. We stayed over July 4th and the Beech Mountain fireworks we’re directly outside the house which was wonderful of course. The house is showing its use and could use some attention. Prior reviews mentioned the need to have better cleaning and I agree with that as well. Neither of these things would deter me from renting the property again. We had an issue with the hot tub and the rental company communicated with us diligently to try and resolve. I was pleased with their attention to the matter. In all, the house accommodates a large group easily and I would stay here again.

Perfect Family Getaway
Our family of 4 (3yo and 7yo) traveled with another family (1 yo, 6yo twins). There was PLENTY of room, bedrooms, and bathrooms for all of us. The kitchen was stalked with everything we need to cook and prepare a variety of meals. The washer and dryer were used often -it was nice to have them and easily accessible. The movie room, upstairs playroom and basement were loved by all of the kids (and adults -kept the kids pretty busy!). The view was amazing...they aren't kidding about needing chains -the road to the home is no joke. The view is worth it! Would recommend to multiple families looking for a mountain home getaway.

Great spot for three families
We enjoyed our NC ski vacation staying at Mile High Lodge. We had three families there with a total of 6 kids and everyone fit comfortably. The house was well equipped with lots of extras and sleeping arrangement options. We had some issues with the hot tub, but communication with the property management was good, which we appreciated. The views are fantastic and the home feels comfortable, safe and private.

Needs better cleaning company 😔
My overall experience with the company was good! Check in was easy, cleaning lady was leaving as I arrived at 4:05 and said she was by herself. Upon walking in the home, it was FILTHY. Floors were awful and you could actually see that people had walked in and out with their shoes on. You could see the layers of dirty fingers on cabinets and the coffee table had about an inch of nastiness on it. Thankfully I brought wipes and was able to clean a little bit. The railings were literally black, there was so much dirt. I was contacted the day of my reservation stating the hot tub wasn’t working and they were trying to expedite the process. Needless to say, after daily communication it never got fixed. Unfortunately for us, the hot tub was one of the reasons I was willing to pay the high fee for this home. I’m very disappointed in this experience, and with the amount of money Vrbo charges for cleaning fees, I expected allot better. IF the house were clean, and the hot tub was working it would have been an amazing trip! House is great, and views and location are amazing! Unfortunately, I will not be booking this home in the future. It is not worth the high price they are charging.

Beautiful Mountain Home with a Gorgeous View!
We rented the house for a family ski trip. There were fourteen people in our group ranging in age from 14 to 75 and the house accommodated us all perfectly. The bedrooms were spacious and clean with comfortable beds and three of them offering spectacular views. There were plenty of bathrooms for all and hot water was never an issue. The house was comfortable and well furnished with lots of options for lounging after a day of skiing, or having family fun playing pool, foosball, video games or watching a movie in the theater room. The hot tub on the deck was perfect after a day on the slopes. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, even for the large group, with plenty of chairs and table space for all. We used the second dining area for games and puzzles. We would certainly stay at the house agian for a similar trip!

Beautiful family vacation home
From the moment we walked in the front door & saw the gorgeous view from the wall of windows in the family room we knew this was the ideal home for us. It is a beautiful, well maintained property with 3 stories which allowed each of our 3 families to enjoy a level to themselves. The 5 children in our group ranged in age from 9 months to 11 years & there were numerous activities & areas In the home to keep everyone busy. The home theater was a hit & we watched monies daily. There Is a game room with a pool table, foosball table, electronic game table, & electronic dart board which was a huge hit. When we weren’t hiking the beautiful trails or visiting Grandfather Mountain we were totally entertained at home. We used the grill a few times & sat on the deck each morning & evening enjoying our coffee & cocktails. The home was very clean & everything was in working order. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes etc & there are 2 large eating tables so everyone can sit together. Cribs & a pack n’ play are provided which was helpful for our group. One of the kids room with bunk beds & a twin bed also had a game center to play the switch & other electronic games. This home does allow pets & we took advantage bringing our 2 dogs. We were a group of 11 & had more room than we could use. This is the perfect vacation home for a family or group that wants a majestic view of the mountains, lots of room to relax, & access to many outdoor activities within a short driving distance. I don’t give many 5 star reviews but this home more than deserves this rating.
