Press Pause - Brand new hot tub, walking distance to ski slopes, stunning views, cool summer temps!

This home allows up to 2 mature, well-trained dogs with an additional pet rent of $25 per pet per night plus tax. Pets other than dogs are not permitted

Welcome to Press Pause on beautiful Beech Mountain, the perfect cabin to relax and press pause on the daily grind of life. This beautiful cabin is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Press Pause is within a 5 minute walking distance to the ski slopes and provides all the accommodations you'll need to have a wonderful stay. The 4900 ft elevation is perfect for cooling off in the summer while enjoying the year round, long range, mountain views showcased in the floor to ceiling windows of the living room. While Press Pause has had several updates recently (new flooring, roof, appliances, vanities, faucet, toilets, painting), the home still maintains its original character, highlighting many design elements of the Me Decade. There's even a brand new hot tub outside to relax in after a fun day hiking, skiing, or snowboarding on Beech!

Enjoy preparing family meals in the fully stocked open concept kitchen or relax in the living room where the sectional back supports recline and converts to a large, lounging pit. It's perfect for movies on the newly updated 55 inch TV or to simply enjoy the fire. Beautiful natural stone, fireplace with electric insert. Floor to ceilings windows and sliding glass doors lead to a deck that overlooks the Beech Mountain Ski Resort. Beautiful unobstructed, long range mountain views may include wildlife deer, black bears, coyotes, and more.

Have some fun in the finished basement with one of the many games available for guest use. It's hard not to enjoy your stay with a ping pong/pool table, a video arcade cocktail table with 800+ games, an electronic dartboard, and a board game table. As with all other tv's, the basement Roku TV provides Hulu Plus Live and gives you a great atmosphere with 70s memorabilia décor.

In the loft you'll find a gaming table, a reading nook, books, coloring supplies, open to living/dining space, and an excellent long-range view.

This house is stocked with everything a family with younger children would need including: high chair, baby gates, pack n play, toddler dinnerware, bibs, tummy time mat, infant bath tub and vibrating infant seat. There are books and toys for children of all ages.

The three bedrooms are animal themed with the master bedroom (deer) is located on the third floor and provides a king bed and ensuite bath. On the main level, guests will find the queen bedroom (bear) and across the hall with 2 twin beds, the wolf den. Two additional twin beds are provided in the loft with privacy curtains, while a futon is also available for use in the basement. Each bedroom has a Roku TV with Hulu Plus Live and Netflix available.

The Upper deck at Press Pause is right off the living room with long range views overlooking Beech Mountain Ski Resort.

Wonderful Few Days in the Mountains!
I booked this as a last minute weekend getaway, we love this area so much! We hadn’t stayed on Beech Mountain yet, and it was a very cute, quaint little town! The cabin was wonderful, so cute, and perfect for what my family needed! I booked based off of the pictures so we were surprised to see a full basement of games! We spent many hours playing ping pong! The views were stunning, and we spent every breakfast and dinner out on the porch, and coffee in the mornings! as Floridians, who want to escape the heat we absolutely loved the 60 degree mornings and evenings! We walked down to the slopes one day and watched the mountain bikers come down, and enjoyed the Craft and Art shows in both Beech and Banner Elk! We saved a hummingbird, and counted over 30 deer walking the property, and road around it, my kids were so excited. We can’t wait to come back!

Great house, air conditioning & communication issues
Overall had a great stay, the house was as described and had everything we needed. Beautiful view and the basement was perfect for entertaining our kids during the rain. Convenient location to restaurants and easy to get to. Only downfall was the air conditioner stopped working on our second day and it required multiple calls and voicemails before someone came out. I understand that those things happen, but it was more the lack of response that left me a bit disappointed. I’ll note that the main response team at Blue Ridge Rentals always answered and was responsive and apologetic, but the Beech Mountain team didn’t answer when we were transferred and it took multiple voicemails and calls to the main line to get someone to call back.

Cozy Stay
A lot of care and attention went into equipping the house with everything guests might need. Large table was great for card games, puzzles, and sharing a meal. After a cozy weekend, we hope to return again another time.

Family getaway
We had an amazing time!! The house was close to the slopes so those that wanted to snowboard were able to take a small hike to yet slopes. The game room was very handy as well as the hot tub. The house was surprisingly warm in the bedroom areas. The main area was a little chilly but that is to be expected with that wonderful view!!

Perfect Fall Getaway
Every year my family and I go to the mountains for a long weekend. We have stayed at many rentals but this was by far the fan favorite. They have everything a kid and “big” kid could need. We were in the game room late into every night. They definitely have thought of families when creating this space and mine can’t wait to go back. I already miss the view and the tabletop fire pit. You can drive to beech mountain resort in 2 min or walk! Banner Elk is a quick 15 min drive. I already have family and friends asking where we stayed! Thanks for sharing your home with us!
