Two-story, dog-friendly chalet with an enclosed yard and furnished decks

La Shika Chalet

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The family dogs are very welcome here at La Shika Chalet! The chefs in your group will be thrilled with the open, well-equipped kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances. Dine together at the breakfast bar, the table for eight, or out on your furnished deck. Gather together in the cozy living area with high ceilings, multiple seating options, a warming gas fireplace, and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV. Challenge one another to games of foosball and then head outside to stargaze by the gas fireplace or let the dogs play under the deck. (Hint: the downstairs dog washing station is also great for cleaning dusty mountain bikes and for drip-drying wet snow gear!) And when it's time to call it a night, there are three bedrooms plus a den with a sofabed available to accommodate 12 lucky guests. You'll find two bedrooms on the lower level, both with comfortable beds and one shared with an XL bunk. On the main floor, there's a main bedroom with an additional king-size bed and en suite bath.

Though Beech Mountain is a quiet, secluded town, it has everything you need to have a memorable vacation away from it all! During warmer months, make a day of golfing at a local course or explore the many trailheads found within minutes of your front door. For an additional fee, guests have access to Beech Mountain Club which has golf (May 15-Oct. 15), a heated pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day), tennis courts, pickleball courts, a fitness room, and the clubhouse restaurant. Some popular hiking and mountain biking areas are Emerald Outback, Sunset Park, and Perry Park. Come winter, the skiers in your party will be in paradise with Beech Mountain Ski Resort sitting less than two miles from home base. And don't forget to grab a bite to eat at Brick Oven Pizzeria or Beech Mountain Grille after a full day of action.

Clean, well stocked and spacious
Pros:- very clean, no pet smell, everything was very nice.- well stocked kitchen. We are a family of 8 and cook alot. The kitchen had plenty of plates, pans, utensils, tupperware, etc. This was a big plus for us. - beds were very comfy, no cheap thin mattresses. Linens were also high quality and soft/ warm. - very warm and cozy.- tons of room for a big family without craming in - super close to beech mountain and the sled hill (21 minutes to food lion in banner elk as closest store)-parking and access were easy no crazy driveway on a hill. - overall super well furnished and lots of games, movies (big doctor who fans!) and books (love the take a book policy!)Cons: Nothing really at all wrong. It was a wonderful place. Gun to my head, the toilet paper was a little cheap/thin.

4 star stay
Pros- very spacious, the most pet-friendly location I’ve ever stayed (wonderful outdoor patio area that’s pet-friendly, dog bath, etc), and beautiful location! The only con is that the cabin was too stuffy for our liking. There were units attached to the wall, but they either didn’t work well, didn’t work at all, or we were too dumb to operate them. There were also no ceiling fans in the bedroom. Would I stay here again? Yes, but only during cooler months.

Fall at Beech Mountain
The house is situated in a beautiful neighborhood just 10 mins from Beech Mountain Resort. The home is well thought out to accommodate a family or two with everything you need. The kitchen had everything needed and a lot of extras. Bedrooms and bathrooms (all 4 are full baths) were well done with 3 of the bathrooms looked like there were recently updated. We were surprised to find that the 4th bedroom in the listing is the office upstairs with a pull out couch. Looking over the listing it shows 2 twins and 2 futons/sofa beds. You can see this room in the photos - the office with the leather couch. This worked out fine as your 18 year old was fine on the sofa bed and the room is private and uses the upstairs bathroom. As we were leaving we all agreed we would return to this beautiful home next time we were traveling in the area.

Good and Bad
House was beautiful and large enough to accommodate our group of 11. BUT not enough towels, wash rags or hand towels (only 2). Coffee pot was broken, dust under beds and sofas, bugs in the kitchen window, no response from Vacasa when we reported these problems. Vacasa people kept texting/saying that they would take care of this right away, but never did. If we had just had any response at all from Vacasa about the problems we noticed right when we got there, the stay would have been wonderful.

Mountaintop Thanksgiving
This was a beautiful, cozy, perfect family gathering place. The kitchen was so spacious and amazingly equipped especially for a Thanksgiving and birthday celebration. Roasting marshmallows on the fire pit grill on a beautiful spacious deck was so fun. The beds and bathrooms were very nice. We so enjoyed the living room that had room for all of us. Can’t say enough about this lovely chalet.

Beech Mtn weekend
The whole process of booking was easy! The place was awesome, loved the 3 King beds. Also loved waking up both mornings to 10-12 deer grazing outside the windows. Kitchen is well stocked and place was clean.

Great home... well appointed (from kitchen, to games, to making pets comfortable!)
The home was very comfortable with lots of room to spread out... My husband and I were alone, but the house could easily accommodate three couples (each with their own king) and more utilizing the bunks and pull out sofa. The kitchen had everything you could need with LOTS of utensils, mugs, and flatware. We loved having the Keurig! The house is perfectly set up for dogs too! The decks have gates so your pup can run from the top deck, down the stairs to bottom deck, and then (the best part) to under the bottom deck with mulch, lighting, and pooper scooper/pail. The owner thought of everything! We really enjoyed our stay and would go again with a large crowd!

Fantastic!
Property is clean, bright, nicely decorated, and well maintained. We appreciated all the games and books, gas fireplace, and the foosball table. The enclosed porch and dog wash made it so easy to have our dog with us. Location is great - on a quiet street with a view of the mountains (in winter, when trees are bare), and so many deer! This was a vacation our family will treasure.

Fall family break
We have rented from VRBO for many years and this has been one of our best experiences with the rental. I hope the property managers continue their upkeep of the place as they seem to have thus far. We will be back. Note: it is remote in terms of access to food/restaurants - so come prepared.

Deer paradise
While no mountain view from the deck, the location was picturesque and very peaceful. There were deer laying by the roadside, wandering the yards and golf course and seen every walk! The house had everything one could need. The kitchen was very well equipped. I loved the gated porches and my pup loved racing from one level to the other.
