Guest stories
More than a great host, Laura was an Angel in me and my friends’ adventure while we got stranded at Beech Mount. We were planning on going to ski on MLK’s day evening, but a snow storm didn’t let us go up or down the mountain. Laura provided us with food and a warm and safe shelter where to spend the night. Her lodge is the right place to go if you are traveling with a 7 to 9 people group.
We stayed in this amazing house on Beech Mountain. It has a lot of charm and comfort. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to fix meals and enjoy the house. The front porch is large and has many seating options. Just sitting there with the sound of the babbling creek was so relaxing. There are so many places to hike nearby with waterfalls and even picnic areas. There is a large beautiful backyard with seating around a fire pit. We will be back here again.
We planned to drive up to Beech Mountain for skiing and back in the same day. Unfortunately , a heavy snowstorm blew through, leaving my group trapped on the mountain without any sleeping accommodations. After calling around, we were fortunate to come across Deer Trail Lodge and its lovely owner who offered us a place to stay on extremely short notice. The home was well-stocked, cozy, and beautiful. Would certainly recommend to anyone who is interested in staying at Beech for skiing or snowboarding. It is about a 10 minute drive to the ski resort. Thank you to its kind owner!
