Overall, we had a great trip staying at Shady Pines for our skiing weekend. Beech Ski Resort is only about a 25 minute drive away.
The cabin was clean and ready for us early. With no snow in the forecast, the drive to the cabin was easy on the unpaved road. We were able to get there in a regular sedan (no AWD or 4WD) when the road was dry, but wouldn't risk it when wet. I wish they'd put some gravel on the road to make it an easier drive.
Only major issues we had were several beeping smoke alarms and the toilets are all difficult to flush.
We would definitely return.
