This is our little slice of heaven on Beech Mountain. If you're looking for a mountain chalet in the ski village for some downhill mountain biking, disc golf or mountain-top yoga in the highest town east of the Rockies, come stay at Slopeside! Don't forget to stroll over to the Beech Mountain Brewery for a few pints while you're there.

The sunrises on Beech Mountain never stop surprising me. As the sun peaks over the back ridge of the mountain, it colors the light haze every color you could imagine. It usually starts a warm pink and then turns bright orange before giving way to the blue skies of the day.
This is the view from the back deck of our mountain chalet, Slopeside. Book a weekend at Slopeside and experience it for yourself.

“I don’t always take selfies but when I do, I’m so far away that you can’t even see me.”
If you look closely, you'll see me on the deck of this chalet, flying my DJI Mavic Pro. We headed up to the mountains for a little New Year's Eve celebration with friends and some fun in the snow last weekend. We were greeted by a snowstorm that lasted on and off for two days. It was perfect!
If you want to head up for yourself, check out Slopeside on Facebook.

Beech Mountain is such a small community that I can fly the drone off the back deck at Slopeside and pretty much fly through the entire town. It sort of feels like having some prescient superpower! Pictured here is the excellent Famous Fast Eddie's (the larger building), the Mile High Tavern (smaller building) and the ski village and ski mountain (background).
Famous Fast Eddies is a five-minute walk from our place provided that you don't stop to watch the deer who are always wandering around the mountain. Eddie is from Chicago, which means that I can get proper Chicago dogs at nearly any hour of the day or night! Add to that beers on tap from Beech Mountain Brewing Company, including Eddie's Strong Hand, which is custom brewed for Eddie, and you can't go wrong!

Early mornings on Beech Mountain are nearly always breathtaking. This photograph was taken from the back deck at Slopeside a little past 7am as the sun was rising over the mountains. As the sun began to burn off the haze, the valleys below were left with what can only be described as rivers of clouds flowing through them. Beech Mountain is the highest U.S. town east of the Rockies and times like this remind you that it's really nice to be on top of the world!
