Welcome to Press Pause, your ultimate retreat in the heart of Beech Mountain. Just a five-minute walk to the ski slopes, this pet-friendly and family-ready cabin offers sweeping long-range mountain views at 4,900 feet—perfect for cooling off in summer and enjoying crisp snowy winters.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy, well-appointed space that blends retro charm with modern updates. Recent renovations include new flooring, a new roof, updated appliances, vanities, toilets, faucets, and fresh paint throughout. A brand-new hot tub awaits just outside, ideal for unwinding after a day on the slopes or trails. The main living area features a huge reclining sectional, a natural stone fireplace with electric insert, and a 55-inch Roku TV for movie nights.

The fully stocked open-concept kitchen is ready for family meals, and the floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors bring in spectacular views over Beech Mountain Ski Resort. Wildlife sightings are common and may include deer, black bears, and coyotes.

Downstairs, the finished basement is packed with entertainment including a ping pong and pool combo table, an 800-game video arcade cocktail table, an electronic dartboard, and a dedicated board game area. A Roku TV with Hulu Live and Netflix is set in a groovy 70s-themed space.

Upstairs in the loft, enjoy a reading nook with books and coloring supplies, a gaming table, and an incredible view over the main living space and beyond.

Families with children are especially welcome, as the home includes a high chair, baby gates, pack n play, toddler dinnerware, bibs, a tummy time mat, infant tub, and infant vibrating seat. You'll also find books and toys for kids of all ages.

Sleeping arrangements are themed by animal design. The third-floor master bedroom, the "deer room," has a king bed and ensuite bath. The main level includes the "bear room" with a queen bed, and the "wolf den" across the hall with two twin beds. The loft offers two additional twin beds with privacy curtains. A futon is also available in the basement.

Each bedroom is equipped with a Roku TV offering Hulu Plus Live and Netflix. The upper deck off the living room offers sweeping views of the Beech Mountain Resort.
