The Space:
Hello! Welcome to our little Beech Mountain, NC Funkadelic Hideaway Chalet! Let me give you the skinny on this 1973 Bertoli and Brady octagon pedestal kit home. You’ll go back in time to this homage to the 70’s ski chalet lifestyle! With 3 acres to explore and plenty of games, puzzles, and other distractions, any group will think it is “Dy-no-mite” without being over the top. The openness and brightness of the space is Far Out! Floor to ceiling glass all around may scare some, but the privacy of the 3 acres and curtains should calm any prude. Enjoy the entire space with period touches everywhere you look. There is a spiral staircase from the lower entry to the main living area that might not be suitable for children that aren’t watched or that are younger than 2 years old.

There is a queen bed in either of the bedrooms and a full pull out couch to choose from for sleeping. Heating blankets are on both beds, so try no to use the corner wall heaters as much as possible. The two corner wall heaters in the kitchen and living room will make the home warm quickly, but try not to leave them on the entire time you are at the property and turn them off when you leave. HVAC will be installed this summer 2020 to be more environmentally and pocketbook friendly.

Much of the Mid-Century Modern furniture, art, knickknacks, games, etc. have been modernized to better suit todays discerning appetites with wifi, keyless wifi door lock, usb outlets, smart switches, an Alexa Echo, LED lighting, and smart TV in the living room. Some however, could not be modernized. With the original kitchen, there are amazing and irreplaceable Avocado appliances. While the range and hood are working, the dishwasher is only for show and has been rendered inoperable. There is a small charcoal grill on the lower deck that can be used if you are knowledgeable in its operation. The same goes for the Buck Stove in the living room and fire pit to the left of the home. Please be careful with their use and please bring your own wood or replace the wood that you use from our pile under the home. Fire should never be left unattended or played with by children.

Beech Mountain never gets warmer than 78 degrees Fahrenheit, so make sure you bring warm clothing no matter when you visit. The 3 acres is a fun place for kids to explore and there are Gnome homes built by our children to be discovered. The bottom of the valley below the property is a natural spring that can get mucky, but flows after a good rain.

Whatever the weather, there is fun to be had at the property or in the surrounding areas. With skiing, tubing, ice skating, snowboarding, sledding, snowball fighting and even hiking in the snow, Winter is a great time to visit. If you come for the spring, summer, or fall; mountain biking (using the ski lifts to the top of the mountain), a brand new Alpine Roller coaster, hiking trails (Emerald Outback), swimming lakes, fishing, gem mining, waterfalls, tons of golfing, or just plain relaxing while the kids explore.

Lean in to the joy and solitude located on city maintained gravel roads that are rarely impassable after even larger snow falls. Restaurants, grocery stores, shops, and everything you could want are within 10 minutes of the home, but bring some groceries and the essentials. We have a community sharing stance on our personal ski chalet, so feel free to leave unopened foods and condiments to be used by the following guests. In turn, feel free to enjoy (or not enjoy) the condiments and other foods left in the home. Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Gel, and Cocoa Butter lotion are complimentary and available in the bathrooms. If you need anything, please let us know and we can direct you to where to find it!

We are located in South Carolina and are trusting our cleaners on the mountain to let us know if any issues arise. Brian is also often in the area working on our next restoration. We want to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. So let us know if there are any problems during your stay! Exterior lighting is set to turn on at 7pm and off at 10pm. If you need them on prior to or after that time, press the leftmost switch on the 5 switch panel. The home is also monitored by two exterior cameras to insure your safety and to make sure that only approved guests are on the property. Sidenote: Please do not book this home if your children will destroy it. They cannot climb the sides of the staircase or bookcases and need to be respectful of the property. We would love to share our home with you and are trying to keep the price low, but you will need to be respectful and care for it as a friend borrowing their friends cabin.
