I usually stay at the Smoketree Lodge when Im visiting the High Country. It is conviently located on Hwy 105 near Boone and the Avery county ski slopes. The staff are courteous and the rates are affordable. It also boasts an indoor pool and jacuzzi which is primo for after ski relaxing.

Very courteous staff. The place is very dated but it's a good value for being so close to Beech Mtn (10 mins) and Sugar Mtn (25 mins) ski resorts. Room was well equipped with a mini kitchen and everything necessary to cook (Stove, pots and pans, boiler, toaster, cutlery, plates, bowls...) Quiet despite the proximity to the busy road, easy parking. Room is very dated and there were a couple of stink bugs I could have lived without.
