Check in time on your date of arrival is 4:00 pm. Check out time is 10:00 AM on your departure date. This is so that Lisa has time to clean the chalet. It is fine if you want to come early and check to see if the house has been cleaned. It is important though that you do not arrive early and unpack your luggage before the chalet has been cleaned, as it makes it very difficult for them to clean.

 

We have parking by the road that accommodates 4 vehicles. If there are cars parked in front of our home, they do not belong there and you may ask them to leave. Our parking is private, not community.

IF YOU ARE ARRIVING AFTER DARK, please bring a flashlight to make access to chalet easier.

Note: Your security/damage deposit will be returned to you, damage or additional necessary cleaning deducted.

Take I-75N TO 301N (near OCALA).
( Alternate way might be from Orlando, take I-95 to South Carolina where you will take I-26 (see instructions below))

*Note: AAA in Bradenton stated they are no longer routing people to 301
due to speed traps - one of them is Waldo. They are sending people on to I-
75 even though it is longer. If you take 301, I recommend that you watch
the speed limits carefully, as they are constantly changing. Also - DO NOT
SPEED.

Take 301N to I-10E (near Jacksonville)

Take I-10E (a short distance) to I-295 (I think this is North)

Take I-295 TO 95N, north of Jacksonville..
(As stated above, from Orlando, it might be closer to take I-4 to 95N.

Take 95 North to I-26W . This is Exit 86B. (You stay on 95N all through GA. And part of SC. The I-26W exit is in S.C. )

Take I-26W to I-77 North. Take I-77 into North Carolina to Billy Graham Parkway.(Billy Graham exits one way only). Watch for the exit onto I-85 south ( I know this sounds like going in the opposite direction of where you want to go, but it is for a short distance only). You will take the exit for 321 North, Gastonia/Lincolnton. Take a left onto 321 towards Lenoire/Hickory. You will take 321 all the way into Boone. (You will get to see Blowing Rock, Lenoire and Boone. In Boone you will turn left onto 105 towards Tynecastle. see directions below.

Note: Whether you are traveling from FL or not, unless you are arriving on Hwy 194, most people will be arriving via 1-77, I-81, I-85, I-26 (as per the directions above)and I-40. Main highways from the interstate’s are US 221, US 321, US 421 and US 19E. From either Boone or Linville, NC take NC 105 to NC 184. The following directions would apply for all:

Take 105 to the traffic light (this is 184). You will turn left at this light. (Unless you are arriving from the direction of Boone, NC and then you would turn right. This is Tynecastle. There is a McDonald’s on the corner. Behind McDonald’s is Lowe’s Grocery Store. Eckerd’s is across the street from McDonald’s. (Food Lion is further up the road on 184, this is where we shop before going up the mountain.)

184 takes you to Banner Elk. ( Road dead ends at light in Banner Elk. - turn left and go past Les McRae College)

One Block past the college, turn right on 184 North. That is Beech Mountain Parkway . My home is about 5 miles from the base of the mountain.

Take Beech Mountain Parkway up the Mountain. At the top of the Mountain you will see Charlie’s Beech Mountain Realty & Rentals then Town Hall on the left.. Fred’s Mercantile store is on the left also. Remember, Fred’s is the only store on the Mountain. In the winter, this area, next to the Chamber of Commerce is where the community snow tubing run is located.

On Beech Mountain Parkway, continue past Tamarack Road. The next right is Hornbeam Road (located between two rental complexes. Turn right on Hornbeam, follow to the right when you reach the "Y". The next left (just past 4 mailboxes) is Beechwood Lane. (It is a gravel road). Turn here (it is a 180 degree turn). Follow the road almost to the end. We are the next to the last house before the cul-de-sac on the left hand side of the road. We are located across the street from Cedar Village townhouses. There is parking for four cars there. It is a cream and burgundy, hexagonal house. There is new decking and walkways going up to the house. Main entry is on the second floor. The elevated fence has the house number on it.

If you cancel more than four weeks in advance, we reserve the right to charge a $25.00 cancellation fee. The balance of your deposit will be refunded. If it is convenient to both parties to reschedule, there will be no rescheduling fee.

Cancellations made less than four weeks in advance of your stay are permitted by our permission only.

• Examples of reasonable causes would be hospitalization, death in the family, serious illness etc.

• Please do not ask for cancellation due to whether or not there is snow or proper conditions for snow making-we are guaranteeing the rental unit only, not the weather. If all 4 Ski Resorts in the area are unable to make snow and are closed due to warm weather, we will gladly refund the difference between winter and summer rates. There is a cleaning fee for stays of four nights or less, unless otherwise stated. Sales tax always applies.

The Beech Mountain Chamber of Commerce recommends that in the winter you have 4 wheel drive or snow chains for driving on the mountain when there is snow or ice.

A Falling Leaf Chalet is a hexagonal home with three level. The first level if the "basement" where the firewood, washer/dryer and loaner tubes and snow boards are kept. On the second level (the main entrance) there are two bedrooms, a kitchen/dining room, bathroom and small living room. There is a spiral staircase leading to the third level that has a large living room with stone fireplace, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Both the second and third levels have decking around the exterior of the home with views looking over the mountain ranges. There are a total of 7 beds that comfortably sleep 10 people.

Most supplies including toilet paper, paper towels, soap, garbage bags etc. are also included. While laundry soap is not guaranteed, we make every effort to have it available.
