Somewhere Over the Rainbow, not so far away, is this Extraordinary Respite.

Beech Mountain is the 'Highest Town East of the Rockies' and consequently boasts the coolest summers and frostiest winters in the East. There's as much or as little to do as one could hope for. Small town charm includes Sat. night street dances, Sun. afternoon outdoor concerts, art festivals, Kiddo fishing derby, Mile-high kite festival, Downhill bike races, and the Autumn at Oz party. The brand new Buckeye Rec. center is a perfect compliment to the Beech Mtn. Club for additional golf, tennis, swimming, kid's day camp, fitness center, challenge course and an array of classes and planned activities. Winter adds skiing, skating, and tubing to the list of fun to be had. And there's hiking and beautiful mountaintop views to be had throughout the year. Nearby towns of Banner Elk and Boone have colleges that sponsor all kinds of art and culture to add flavor to the fun.Once you've discovered our friendly little town and become part of our family, you'll most certainly want to return.
