This space was incredible! Kacey & Sean are fantastic hosts—though we were very familiar with the location, they provided tons of information that would be helpful to someone visiting the area for the first time. The home was spotless and absolutely beautiful. We loved the wrap-around porch and outdoor space. The bedrooms and closets were huge! Everything was really lovely; the only thing I would say to other potential visitors is that my parents (in their late 60s) had a *little* bit of trouble with the stairs due to their arthritis—as is typical of most beach houses, the kitchen and main living area is on the second floor, so you do need to use the stairs even though the primary suite is on the first floor. Just something to keep in mind for those with mobility difficulties. Overall, this was a truly amazing place, and we hope to visit again! I can’t recommend this space enough—5-star visit, for sure!

Fantastic stay! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do, and the hosts were quick to respond to any questions. Check-in was easy and the place was clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again.

This home was perfect for our Fall getaway. We traveled with family, including young kids and found the property comfortable, spotless and close to town. Deer came close enough to the home that sharing apples and carrots was easy and exciting for the kids and adults alike. We were minutes from Banner Elk and within 30-40 minutes of nearby attractions, including Grandfather Mountain, Linn Cove Viaduct and Tanawha trail, Elk River Falls and Tweetsie's amusement park. Be aware that the road leading to the home is gravelly and a little steep. But, aside from that this was an excellent choice in accommodations. We highly recommend!

This house was perfect and everything we were looking for! The outdoor space was great and it was also a 5 minute walk down to the Marsh Landing. I would highly recommend this home!

Responsive host. Simple check-in. House is gorgeous. Amenities are well maintained. Location is great! We had four children under 8 and didn’t have issue with the room setup. Close to restaurants, grocery stores, shops etc. The pass for the beach made things easy as well. For those looking for something other than seafood - I would highly recommend Pa’ Picar food truck. It was some of the best food we had during our stay. Also, skip Starbucks…check out Brown Fox Coffee Box! She is great. We would stay at this location again.

The Life’s a Beech cottage is a great rental. The location can’t be beat … three miles to either Banner Elk or Beech and not much further than that to Grandfather Mt. At the same time, it’s in a peaceful quiet setting with deer galore. The house is very nicely decorated and had all the amenities anyone would need. Communication with Kacey and Sean was easy and timely. We had a great few days with family and will definitely rent the home again when back in the area!

We had a perfect weekend at this mountain cabin with our extended family! The home was spotless, cozy, and welcoming, with thoughtful touches and great amenities that made our stay extra comfortable. The layout was ideal — the kids loved having their own bunk room, and the adults appreciated the privacy of separate bedrooms. Having four bathrooms was a huge bonus! The game room and firepit were favorites for evening fun, and we spent plenty of time relaxing on the porch, enjoying the apple tree and watching deer stop by for a snack — such a peaceful and magical setting. We also loved gathering around the large kitchen table for meals and games. The location couldn’t have been better — tucked away and quiet, yet just minutes from downtown Banner Elk, with easy drives to Boone and Grandfather Mountain. We highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing family getaway!

Great home! Super comfy & welcoming! Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate for our hiking plans, but we really enjoyed spending the day in downtown Boone, North Carolina! Great host to work with, we unfortunately had to check out a day early due to a family members back home being hospitalized, hosts were able to modify our reservations accordingly. We definitely look forward to coming back, hoping to for fall break!

Everything was perfect, and my favorite part was all the details in the kitchen that made this property feel like home. We hope to be back! Thank you saving the day and my mom’s 60th birthday bash! ☺️
