**IMPORTANT** GETTING HERE WITH YOUR CAR IN THE WINTER MONTHS!! We are at the very top of Beech Mountain and your climb to the top in inclement weather can be very difficult unless you have a 4x4 or all-wheel drive vehicle. We recommend chains and/or cables if you do not have this type of vehicle. THERE IS A FLASHING LIGHT AT THE BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN. THIS WILL ALERT YOU IF YOU NEED TO PUT THE CHAINS/CABLES ON YOUR CAR. We suggest RaysWeather.com for the most accurate weather in the area. We are approximately 2 hours from Charlotte and Asheville. We are approximately 25-30 minutes from Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Northeastern Tennessee border.

This place was very accommodating and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. There areas where the floor is buckled and bulging but its not horrible. I would say that is the only negative thing I could say about it.
