This home was perfect for our ski trip! We had a short drive to Beech mountain and relaxing in the hot tub after a long day was perfect! We had a group of 4 couples and had plenty of space! Kim was a great host and was quick to respond to any needs we had! We even had the chance to feed some deer that were hanging out in the back yard. Such a great time!

The property was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The owner responded quickly and the house was exactly as pictured. The hot tub was very nice after long days skiing and my boys loved feeding the deer with the corn that was supplied. We would definitely stay at this property again.

We stayed over Christmas with 10 people total from ages 4-44. It was so relaxing and beautiful. We all fit comfortably and had an incredible Christmas vacation. Skiing and tubing was close. Kimberly, the owner was so friendly and gracious! Thank you Read family for helping us have a magical Christmas in the mountains!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Reed Retreat! Location is perfect! There were a few things that kept me from rating 5 stars though…. Cabin could have used a little TLC in cleaning department. Pots and pans are definitely on their last leg. Toaster bottom falls out when lifted. Garbage disposal not working while there even though someone came out to “fix” it. Shower also clogged up. But despite these minor issues my family had a wonderful time and the beds are extremely comfortable!!

We arrived on Friday when Elliott crossed the Us. Leaving most of the mountain with a treacherous and slow drive in, most homes without power, pipes frozen , and the ski resort closed. The Read retreat concurred all those problem. Kim (owner) called on our way in to make sure we knew if the conditions. We live at WB but grew up in ohio so we immediately knew to keep the faucets dripping, and start a fire. We had power when we got to the mountain. Only lost our kitchen sink to pipes freezing (which came back in the next days). The home was warm and cozy!! My family enjoyed the few days of being all locked in together to play games and have dance parties! We will definetly be back to the mountain! And would completely stay at read retreat again!!

Spent a lovely weekend with some dear friends and made some wonderful memories. They cabin was the perfect size and perfect location. We had everything that we needed. The deer that came into the back yard and ate out of our hands were a special treat. The only thing that was a disappointment was that it needed some extra cleaning. I made the owner aware and I’m sure she handled it. It is a great cabin to make some lasting memories.

My family and I were so happy with our stay at the Read Retreat! My grandmother, mother, sister, my 11th month old daughter, and I, stayed the weekend in Beech Mountain to visit the Land of Oz. Even though the weather was not great, and we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor amenities, we still enjoyed every minute! Kimberly was very helpful from the beginning - from getting lost on the wrong road 😅 to my sister's automobile issues when we checked out, we are so thankful for her quick responses! Thanks for a great stay!

We loved our stay at the Read Retreat! Our group of two families (4 adults and 4 boys aged 6-11) take an annual trip to the mountains to explore nature and seek out salamanders, and this cabin was a perfect base for doing so! There is literally a springhead in the backyard, with a small creek flowing down into Pond Creek (which was great for brook trout, btw). We saw hundreds of salamanders during the long weekend, as well as a black bear (heed the warnings about proper trash disposal!), loads of deer, squirrels, birds, etc. The house was very comfortable, and the beds and linens were all new and very soft. The bathrooms were a little small, but made up for it by being fully renovated with great showerheads, water pressure, and plenty of hot water. The deck and porch were both great for enjoying the yard, as was the hot tub after a long day of hiking. The public access trail along the creek was a big value-added, and if you follow it down you get to a nice public fishing pond. It is also a beautiful area to explore (Beech Mountain, Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain, even Boone is nearby), and this cabin makes a great base for doing so. Thank you for the great stay!
Our salamander and other biodiversity observations from around the cabin can be seen on iNaturalist (username- josiah)

Our stay here was absolutely amazing we enjoyed every bit of it. The cabin itself is such a beautiful place!! The beautiful nature trails and outside surroundings of the house was the best part. Personally my family loves the outdoors and a great adventure, we really enjoyed the trails and the breathtaking views of the beautiful mountains! Definitely looking forward to visiting again!!

Our boys loved the location with fire pit and trail by the water. The deer came right up to us and ate the treats on the ground if we stayed still! Truly magical. Comfy and cozy, easy to get to activities

Snowy Charm
We enjoyed our snowy getaway at Read Retreat! Cabin is cozy and in a great location for exploring! Roads were well taken care of even in 9 degrees. 4wd was perfect for navigating icy terrain and we didn’t need snow chains. Fred’s Merchantile is a great stop for anything you forget. Kim was so easy to communicate with and made our stay easy peasy! We will return! Definitely print off driving directions Kim sends because gps goes in and out. 🤩

Our new favorite...
So glad we stumbled on this cabin. It is an absolute gem. Loved the wood burning fireplace, hot tub, fire pit. Beds were super comfortable, lots of room for everyone to stretch out. Updated bathrooms were a plus. We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin and the area/neighborhood and would love to buy in this area. The "hiking trails" behind the cabin were more than just neighborhood paths! We left the cabin and were gone exploring for hours. For those nervous about driving in the mountains it is steep but not sketchy. I wouldn't try it in the snow without 4WD but our old minivan did just fine.Thank you for sharing your wonderful retreat with us!

Great Getaway!
Perfect house for us, our friends and our four children! There was plenty of space for all of us. The kids loved playing outside, deer watching and their own space downstairs. We enjoyed a fire everyday and made good use of the hiking trails right beside the house. The house was in a great location for activities and running to the store for a few things we needed.
The owner was super responsive and provided us with great information.

Just finished an incredible family trip to Beech Mountain, we were fortunate enough to have it snow 5 inches while we were there which made for great sledding around the house. Being in the hot tub after a long day of playing in the snow and skiing made for a relaxing evening finished off with a crackling fire in the fireplace. Kim answered the couple of questions we had immediately and was a great host. Highly recommend staying here if you are coming to the Beech Mountain area.

Winter Wonderland!
We had the most amazing stay at the Read Retreat in Beech Mountain. This house had everything we needed and was very clean. It felt like home away from home for us. From the trails in the backyard, to the hot tub and the proximity to the ski slopes — we will be back for sure!

Just like the pictures...but
This property was like picture but had interesting Angel's.
For instance: its states not wheelchair accessible, but to clarify there are 2 large sets of steps that led to the front door, not pictured.
The backyard is more rock than year, also not pictured.
In all, it was a good stay. The owner was great to communicate with when problems came up.

Fabulous Hosts
Kimberly was an incredible host. Her communication was timely, friendly, and efficient. Check-in and check-out were both a breeze and she even checked-in with our group to make sure we had everything we needed. The property itself is a great location - casual trails run right behind the house and were perfect for our group to get out an explore.
