One of the quirkiest attractions of Beech Mountain “many, many miles east of nowhere” is Land of Oz. The theme park based on the famous movie was originally built to attract visitors to the newly opened Beech Mountain resort outside of the main ski season. The park operated for only a decade, but the facility survived many years of closure to rise again as a much-loved attraction that opens for special occasions. “Autumn at Oz” is the highlight of the events program—this annual family-friendly celebration offers the chance to meet Dorothy and her pals and follow an actual Yellow Brick Road.
Beech Mountain resort is geared for adventure all year round, from morning yoga to après-ski nightcaps. Ice-skating, tubing, and snowboarding are all part of the fun in winter, while summer activities include disc golf and mountain biking. The resort even boasts its own craft brewery, with cozy open fires to warm the chilly winter evenings, while in summer the aptly named 5506’ bar rewards its patrons with live music at the end of a scenic lift ride. The charming Alpine Village is the perfect place to stock up on sports gear or browse for souvenirs and local crafts.

A consequence of these unusual climatic conditions is that Beech Mountain vacation rentals with a hot tub and sauna are at a premium, no matter the season.
