Eastern America’s Highest Town

About

Here in the mountains of Western North Carolina, nature greets every morning with a crisp breath of fresh air. Wildlife awakens to beautiful views in every direction. And the town springs to life at its own comfortable, leisurely pace.

That’s because people up here know that a sound mind and warm soul are the keys to happiness…and sometimes a slower pace is the fastest way to get there.

But even still, there’s more than enough opportunity for adventure, and for treating yourself to the kind of unforgettable surroundings that only Beech Mountain can offer.

Every summer, our lakes, streams, hillsides, and mountaintops welcome avid fishermen, hikers, mountain bikers, golfers, and wildlife explorers. Perhaps they’re attracted to our mild summer temperatures—which rarely exceed 72 degrees, even on the hottest day of the year.

In the fall, hillsides are draped in bright hues of orange, yellow, and red—a scene so admired that it attracts nature lovers from across the country.

And as winter’s first snowflakes mark the birth of our most beloved season, our slopes welcome skiers and snowboarders from all over the Southeast.

It’s a graceful town, seated atop a storybook mountain.

It’s Eastern America’s Highest Town.

Group Travel

Planning a wedding, reunion, church outing, or an annual family get-together? Beech Mountain is perfect for group outings, offering the unique opportunity for close-knit activities on top of the highest mountain in Eastern America.

Where else could you hold a reunion in front of a four-state backdrop? Or tie the knot at more than a mile above sea level?

Whether you’re part of a group of five or 50, planning a group outing on Beech Mountain is easier than you might think:

• You don’t have to worry about lodging choices. You can rent homes for individual families, or check out a more spacious home for a larger group.
• You’ll never be at a loss for group activities. Try a group hiking adventure, or explore some of North Carolina’s mile-high mountain biking trails. Our Buckeye Recreation Center offers the chance for family games of basketball, tennis or volleyball.
• For the memory of a lifetime, hit the slopes for a group ski trip. We offer the south's only high speed lift. We have group discounts on meals, lift tickets, ski rentals, and instruction.
