| Nestled high in the mountains of North Carolina is a little known corner of the world called Valle Crucis (pronounced valley crew’ sis). First settled over 200 years ago, the Vale of the Cross is a place that historians and visitors alike have called “uncommon.” Discover historic inns and bed and breakfasts, offering a relaxing stay with comfortable lodging and memorable meals in this peaceful valley. Explore the Valle Crucis Conference Center and Holy Cross Episcopal Church, both on the grounds of the historic Mission School in the upper valley. Visit what Charles Kuralt called “a destination,” the original Mast General Store. The General Store is now joined by other shops, studios, and galleries throughout the community featuring locally made pottery, rustic furniture, and original art. Located in Watauga County between Boone and Banner Elk and only hours from the hustle and bustle of the big city, day and weekend getaways are not just a possibility but a real treat! The Valle Crucis Community, North Carolina’s First Rural Historic District, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Feb 2005). |
