Check out this short video to get a sense of the many faces and places in Sugar Mountain/Beech Mountain every season.

Most people think of Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain as the best resorts to visit in the Winter. The reality is, the Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Boone and Linville areas of Western North Carolina are popular year round.   With so many adventures and relaxing activities in the Blue Ridge Mountains, there truly is something for everyone. This video will wet your appetite and help plan your next adventure in the Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Banner Elk, Boone and Linville areas.  As a direct book vacation rental owner, I have fallen in love with this area as I know you will too. As the 12th state in the union in 1789, North Carolina offers a great deal of history and this area, although modern with amenities, also offers a taste of the past plentiful with scenic views and rich history preserved in a delicate manner.

The area has become known as a wedding destination with multiple wedding venues in the immediate area. Having hosted many five-star wedding stays, first-time short-term guests say they had no idea how much there is to do all within 20 minutes in any direction.
