Great host. Great place. Great location. Can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed the cabin. It was quiet and clean. We all slept well and look forward to our next trip to Beech Mountain!

It was a great visit. Beautiful area and great location.

Absolutely can not say enough good things about the property and Donald! Our stay was wonderful! My wife and I chose this cabin for our 10th anniversary get away and it was amazing! Quiet, secluded and serene! We only had one small issue during our stay and Donald was ON TOP OF IT! If my wife and I have the chance to get away again in the future we will be staying here again!

Thank you so much!!! We had the best time, and can’t wait to visit again when there’s skiing! 10/10!

Great place to stay. Super close to the slopes and wonderful, quiet neighborhood. Lots of wildlife to enjoy and an easy place to relax. Don was most helpful and communicated extremely well!

Very pleased with our stay. We had a small issue with the hot water but Mr. Don was quick to respond and attentive to our needs. Will definitely stay again. The location was great as well, right down the road from Beech mountain. Highly recommend!

We hadn’t been to the Beech/Sugar Mtn area since we were teens and upon returning 20 years later with two young kids (4 and 9), I didn’t quite know what to expect. Banner Elk and especially Beech Mtn were just charming, and so family friendly. This cabin is down Beech, and just a 5-10 minute drive up the mountain to anything you need (an adorable grocer named Fred’s Mercantile with all the essentials, restaurants, recreation, parks, and Beech Mtn skiing). We filled 3 days of a quick winter vacation very easily, and knowing the hot tub was waiting for us to finish each day was so nice. The cabin is cozy and had everything we needed; we only went out to eat for lunch. The owner was incredibly thoughtful and checked in on us before a winter storm was forecast to hit. Thankfully, the cottage remained perfectly toasty and with plenty of hot water even with surprise snow and in a 30-degree drop to 0 degrees overnight! We highly recommend this retreat - away from it all in a quiet wooded neighborhood, but also close enough to find plenty to fill your day.

We love coming here as an escape from reality. It's secluded yet close to town and Buckeye lake park. We plan to come back with our kids every year this is available!

Upon arrival, we immediately fell in love with the coziness of the place. We were looking for a completely restful getaway and this place did not disappoint. We will def return here again.

The cabin was exactly the way it was listed. No surprises! The hot tub was great after a long day of hiking. Communications with the owner was easy and quick. Only negative is the road up and down Beech Mountain. Highly recommend this property.

The cabin was so cozy and had everything you would need! Owner was very friendly and helpful. The hot tub was amazing. Will definitely plan my next vacation to stay here again!

The cabin was nice and comfortable. We saw many deer, chipmunks, and birds outside. It was a relaxing place to getaway.

I found listing in VRBO. It was flawless booking this rustic cabin. The cabin was everything and more than advertised. Quiet and restful, comfortable.

We will be back. Loved this cabin. Everything you need is already there, thoughtfully stocked with everyday items, all you need to bring is your change of clothes, a steak for the grill and wine. I wish we could have stayed longer.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and was well stocked with linens and kitchenware. Loved the setting and the amount of nature wildlife we were able to see just sitting the sun room or by the fire pit. The overall experience was very relaxing and a great place to disconnect and recharge from the norm. We will definitely keep this place on our list of places to stay in the future.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here and our 4th is booked already. Love this cozy hideaway! I get a sense of peace just pulling in the drive. Summer and fall hiking on the trails followed by a soak in the hot tub and wine on the porch is how we play. Super easy booking and everything we need.

It is a nice quiet place for a weekend getaway.

One of our best experiences in the mnts

It is a nice quiet place for a weekend getaway.

Overall it was a nice place to stay. The cabin was well stocked with all the stuff you might need. It was super clean and the kids had a lot of fun in and around the place. The neighborhood it's in had alot of hiking and the other houses are far enough away to give the feeling that you're secluded.

Good stay for a couple, I couldn't imagine having more people in the building with us!

The location was perfect to Beech Mountain and the cabin was wonderful for our family. The kids loved the nook above the kitchen and enjoyed the hot tub with the deer roaming all around us. We will be back!

We really enjoyed Don's quaint cabin and all of its amenities. The owner was so accommodating and considerate of our needs. The location and cabin facilities were ideal for snowboarding. We will definitely be back.

This cabin was so cozy and perfect in every way. My husband and I went with another couple for a weekend get away! The samba and hot tub was great! I personally love sitting by the fire and watching all the deer walk by! The owner is amazing and so kind and understanding. We ran into travel problem where the interstate was shut down for 5 hours by our house when we were leaving to head up to the cabin. This caused us to post pone us leaving till the next morning which caused us to lose a night. When I reach out to explain, his response was “safe travels is what is most important” . That meant a lot that he worked with us on things. We will defiantly be coming back for another get away!!!

Amazing we love to the cabin , definitely coming back… thank you for everything

Cabin is cozy and specious! It had everything you need for perfect getaway. Great location! We really enjoyed our stay!

Directions for accessing the Cabin were clear and well thought out. Beautiful and quiet mountain retreat. Super clean and full of essential amenities. Highly recommend. Will be coming back!!

We were looking for our perfect honeymoon get away and Mountain Rest was a hit. Our plans included snowboarding and it was 10 minutes down the road from the property which was so convenient. Everything at the property was wonderful. The views were absolutely stunning. The amenities Mr. Tate provides were perfect. It was so nice to come back after being on snow/ice all day to be able to get in a comfy hot tub. The rooms were perfect for relaxing, sleeping, entertaining, and eating. If you are looking for a stress free vacation or staycation, this is the place. Mr. Tate provides a manual that seriously helped us so much during our stay. I would definitely come back to Mountain Rest to just enjoy a short weekend or another week long stay. Mr. Tate is one of the most respectful owners I have ever encountered and it was such a pleasure to stay at his property. He is very kind and so quick to respond. He even messaged us to let us know when the hot tub guys were coming out to check it which was so nice so in case we were there we would not be surprised. Overall, I wish I had more than 5 stars to give as this was one of my favorite trips and I can’t wait to come back one day. Thank you for a wonderful week.
