Had such a wonderful time staying at Julie’s property for a belated birthday weekend! It’s a beautiful space and my friends really loved the attention to detail throughout the house; this isn’t just a normal, thrown together rental home, it’s very clear that time and care were put into the decor. And reading a bit about Julie’s family in the guest handbook, it made sense! I hadn’t stayed in Beech Mountain before, so I was worried we’d have to drive 30 minutes to everything but there is so much just down the mountain. Even driving to Blowing Rock felt much quicker than I anticipated. We also got to see a family of deer in the yard twice, so it was an ideal mountain location! There were 4 people in my group and we had plenty of room to spread out. The early birds went into the loft and the night owls took the primary bedroom lol. When I originally booked, I did not realize there was another rental directly below ours (completely on me for not reading through the description fully) but it caused zero issues. We couldn’t hear them and I don’t think they could hear us. We even got to chat and share a few laughs with them, which was an unexpected treat. We truly enjoyed our trip and would absolutely stay here again!
