Overall, the property was very comfortable. The patio was spacious, comfortable, and a great place to relax. If you're looking for mountain views, be aware that they are mostly blocked by foliage during the summer months, though the view may open up in the winter.Beech Mountain is usually cool enough that air conditioning isn't necessary. However, our stay coincided with one of the hottest stretches of the year, and because the house does not have AC, it was quite uncomfortable for the first few days until temperatures cooled down.Overall, I would recommend the house.
