The Inn at Shady Lawn is conveniently located close to both Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Beech Mountain Ski Resort. Come July, you may notice kilt-clad folks mingling about, as The Grandfather Highland Games and the Gathering of the Clans is located within a few miles of the inn. Come October, people are gathering up their local fabulous find of a Woolly Worm, a caterpillar that is the centerpiece of the internationally known Woolly Worm Festival held in neighboring Banner Elk, NC. Summertime offers great golf, fishing, mining, mountain biking, mountain hiking, and rides on our two ski resort chair lifts allowing regular folks to experience being on top of the mountain without having skis on.
