Beech Mountain is the perfect getaway, regardless of the season, and Slopes and Spokes is the best place to experience it! This stunning ski suite is located in Pinnacle Inn Resort, the highest resort in the highest town in the eastern United States. Complete with all the amenities for a weekend or longer, this luxurious suite has been completely remodeled and features vintage snow sports equipment decor with a rustic, romantic, farmhouse feel, comfortable seating and bedding (including an electric blanket), a fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, cookware and dishware, books, high speed internet access, a landline telephone, built-in USB charger with 4 ports, and a washer and dryer located right inside the condo. Small toiletries, cider and cocoa mix, local items and the makings of s’mores are included in a complimentary welcome bag provided by the owners.
One of the best features is a working wood-burning fireplace. While not guaranteed, the owners try to keep a stock of firewood handy. If previous guests have depleted the supply, you can pick up some at Fred’s Mercantile, and let us tell you, you need to go there at least once while you’re on the mountain anyway. Try their breakfast! A towel warmer, a separate forced air heater in the bathroom and a boot dryer/warmer for two sets of boots ensure you will be warm and dry in no time after a day of fun in the snow. Speaking of the bathroom, no luxury bathroom is complete without a bidet, and we have one, along with a bathtub/shower combination, and we supply a double set of bath towels and washcloths.
Whether you want to explore the area or spend all your time indoors, Slopes and Spokes is ideally located on the first floor and near parking. Relax in front of the wood-burning fireplace or on the deck outfitted with two bentwood style rockers and a small table where you are almost guaranteed to see deer and other wildlife grazing on the lawn as Pinnacle Inn is inside the wildlife reserve. Pinnacle Inn also has an All Seasons Center with a large, heated pool, two saunas, hot tub, game room, vending machines, workout facility and large dressing rooms and bathrooms. Come with a group and retreat back to your individual condos for quiet time as needed.
Walking to town or to iconic locations such as Fred’s is easy or take a short drive to Banner Elk and Sugar Mountain if you prefer the slopes, restaurants and shopping there. With concerts and events in the summer and an average summer temperature in the low 70’s, the “slow season” is actually a great time to visit. And, don’t forget the Woolly Worm Festival, Land of Oz and spectacular fall foliage in September and October!
As this condo is also the owners’ personal retreat, it is true to the original short term rental concept of staying in someone’s home. When you stay at Slopes and Spokes, you are our guest, and we want to make the stay comfortable and memorable. Please take the time to give us feedback in our guestbook. We read those every time we come up and have made changes based on what we read!
PLEASE NOTE: Pinnacle Inn Resort prohibits guests from bringing pets, so while we love them, we can only accommodate service animals.
Totally remodeled studio condo with washer/dryer and lots of onsite amenities. Conveniently located within walking distance to the center of the town of Beech Mountain
