Cozy Vacation Rentals
After a good day of skiing there are very few things more relaxing than sitting down to enjoy good food and drinks. Beech Mountain provides all of this at the Mountain Brewing Co. Tamproom and Grill at the ski resort, which is open to all ages.
And on December 30 they have a special surprise: The Howl at the Moon Dueling Piano Night!
The dueling piano musicians entertain guests by taking song requests from the past 50 years in the style of a traditional piano bar. It’s fun for all ages.
Are you thinking about summer activities already? I know I am! Let me tell you about my recent discovery, Todd, NC.
I recently found the place to go to for kayaking and tubing, Todd, NC. You can learn more about Todd here
This past week I drove through a town I had always wondered about but had never visited. Todd, NC is located about 15 minutes from one of our cabins, Tanglewood. I am certainly going to visit again in the warmer summer months.
Why? Todd runs along the South Branch of the New River. So, it would be a fantastic place for a lazy ride down the river in an inner tube. Or maybe I’ll even try kayaking.
Do those activities sound like fun? Since Tanglewood is only 15 minutes away it would be a great place to stay and explore Todd. Also worth exploring is another town which is going to be my next adventure, West Jefferson.
While the Boone area is famous for its ski resorts, the resorts have a lot more to offer than just skiing. For instance, at the Sugar Mountain Ski Resort they have an ice skating rink!
Sugar Mountain has a very large 10,000 square foot outdoor skating rink in fact. It is located between the parking lot D and the Tubing Park.
There are plenty of amenities as well located near the skating rink. The Dave Nixon Pro Shop offers skate rentals so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own ice skates. Inside the Sugar Mountain Resort restaurant you can find a nice warm area to relax and have nice cocoa and a meal.

While in most parts of the South, autumn solely means a slightly cooler weather change, in the Boone area, it also means we are nearing the season for winter activities on the nearby ski mountains!
On many of the ski resorts, they offer more than just skiing, for instance on Sugar Mountain, they offer snowshoe guided tours. Starting on December 1, tours are offered every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 3pm. And on Saturday at 9am and 3pm. There is both an adults and children’s tour for those between the ages of 8-11. The tours are 1 hour.
With the changing of the season from summer to fall comes the wonderful colors of autumn too. What also comes with autumn of course is Oktoberfest! And Sugar Mountain in Boone is a wonderful place to enjoy it!
Oktoberfest at Sugar Mountain Resort from Saturday and Sunday, October 9 and 10. The festival will be open from 10 am to 5 pm both days. The festival is open for all ages and admission is free.
No Oktoberfest would be complete without music. From noon until 4pm each day, the Harbour Towne Fest Band with great Bavarian music.
On the ski area grounds, artisans and craftsmen will be selling a variety of their custom made wares. There also will be a wide variety of Bavarian inspired food to eat.
