Fall & Winter at Paws at the Peak
September and October means peak foliage and crisp mountain air — the views from the porch are worth the drive alone. November through March, Beech Mountain Ski Resort is less than a mile away, making this the ideal ski season retreat. Come back in from the cold, fire up the hot tub, and let the week melt away.

The Location
Beech Mountain, NC sits at 5,506 feet — the highest incorporated town in the eastern US — which means cooler temps, earlier foliage, and reliable snow. Sitting at 4,700 ft, you're less than a mile from Beech Mountain Resort, and within easy reach of hiking, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Grandfather Mountain.

Some experiences are better shared. Bring your people. Bring your dog. See you at the peak.
