The Beech Mountain Inns, the Beech Alpen Inn and our Top of the Beech Skilodge are located on top of Beech Mountain North Carolina. "It is better at the top!" In winter the clear skies, the snow, the views, the Alpen Restaurant & Bar, Bullwinkels Pizzeria and Sportscafe, the walking distance to the ski slopes and an old fashioned general store make the mountain life better at the top. In summer you can escape the smoldering heat of the valleys and breath the fresh mountain air around 72 degrees. In fall the colorful leaf season is absolutely breathtaking. If you come from the flats and you crave a true mountain getaway, the Beech Alpen Inn is the perfect place for you and your family.
