Bear Necessities - Pet Friendly 2 Bedroom on Beech
Welcome to Bear Necessities, a dreamy 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath hideaway tucked away on the scenic Beech Mountain. Brimming with mountain elegance and thoughtful touches throughout, this wood-accented cabin offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and natural wonder—your own private escape to the high country.
Step inside and feel instantly at home. The main level unfolds into a spacious, open-concept living area with tongue-and-groove ceilings, rich wood finishes, and soft, cozy furnishings, all inviting you to relax. The fully stocked kitchen is a delight for home chefs, featuring custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island with seating for three. Just beyond, a dining table for six sets the scene for shared meals and laughter-filled evenings. When you're feeling competitive, be sure to gather your group at the table and grab one of the assorted games provided in the pantry.
The living room, centers around a warm gas log fireplace and a large TV—perfect for movie nights after a day on the slopes or trails. A convenient half bath and laundry room is located just off the main living space for added ease.
The main-level primary suite is a haven of tranquility, offering a plush king bed, a private TV, ceiling fan, and soft mountain light pouring in through the windows. The ensuite bathroom is set up for comfort with a custom tiled walk-in shower and granite double vanity.
Upstairs, the second bedroom is equally inviting, featuring two comfortable queen beds beneath charming tongue-and-groove ceilings. A ceiling fan stirs the mountain air, and the private ensuite bath with a tub/shower combo makes it a family-friendly space for guests of all ages.
Step outside and let the magic of the mountains surround you. The deck is your front-row seat to nature—complete with an outdoor dining table, gas grill, and a cozy fire table for crisp mountain evenings. As you sip your coffee or share stories under the stars, the gentle sound of a nearby creek and its cascading waterfall on the neighboring property adds an enchanting soundtrack to your stay.
Whether you're seeking adventure, serenity, or a bit of both, Bear Necessities is your perfect Beech Mountain sanctuary—where every detail has been designed with warmth, beauty, and comfort in mind.
