About This Home

Nestled among the trees in the cool mountain air of Beech Mountain, 151 Pond Creek Road is the kind of retreat that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories. Beautifully renovated and offered fully furnished, this five-bedroom, three-bath mountain chalet blends cozy charm with modern comfort, making it equally ideal as a personal getaway or a property with a proven short-term rental history. Completely updated in 2022, the home features a thoughtfully redesigned interior with quartz countertops, updated appliances, stylish fixtures, and finishes that complement its warm mountain character. The open-concept living space is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect setting to gather after a day on the slopes or exploring the surrounding trails, while the spacious kitchen offers an eat-in bar and flows seamlessly into the dining area for effortless entertaining. The main level features four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the lower level offers a fifth bedroom, full bathroom, laundry room, and a game room complete with arcade games. Step outside to enjoy everything mountain living has to offer, from peaceful mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee to evenings spent soaking in the private hot tub or gathering around the fire pit beneath a canopy of stars. A circular driveway, paved road access, and ample parking make coming and going easy in every season. With two parcels totaling 0.44 acres, the property offers an added sense of privacy while remaining just minutes from Beech Mountain Resort, hiking and biking trails, restaurants, and year-round outdoor recreation. Whether you're looking for a mountain escape to enjoy with family and friends or a turnkey property with an established rental history, 151 Pond Creek Road is ready to be enjoyed from day one.
