About This Home

Motivated Seller, bring reasonable offers. Perched high in the cool mountain air of Beech Mountain, this spacious 5 bedroom, 4-bath mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm, outdoor living, and strong vacation rental potential. Plus, you get the lot next door for free! Located at 117 Rhododendron Drive, the home features multiple sleeping areas and flexible space that comfortably accommodates large groups, making it an excellent short-term rental opportunity for ski weekends, summer escapes, and year-round mountain getaways. This home also includes the vacant lot next door at 115 Rhododendron Drive, .33 acres, giving you more privacy or the option to build at a later time. Inside, the home welcomes you with a warm, inviting living area centered around a cozy stone fireplace — the ideal gathering spot after a day on the slopes or hiking nearby trails. The layout is designed for entertaining and hosting, with generous common areas and room for guests to spread out comfortably. Large windows bring in natural light and seasonal mountain views, while the spacious deck areas provide plenty of room for outdoor dining, relaxing, or enjoying the crisp Beech Mountain evenings. The property has the classic mountain cabin feel renters love, with ample deck space and wooded surroundings that create a peaceful retreat atmosphere. While the home is well suited for vacation use and already offers strong sleeping capacity, it does need some updating, giving the next owner the opportunity to add value and personalize the interior finishes over time. Conveniently located near Beech Mountain Resort and the Beech Mountain Club area, the home offers easy access to skiing, mountain biking, hiking, dining, and all-season recreation. Beech Mountain is known as the highest town in the Eastern United States and remains a popular destination for both winter tourism and cool summer weather.
