Why Valle Crucis, NC?

Valle Crucis is a quiet fold in the mountains where time seems to slow and stillness is easy to find. Morning fog rises gently off the river, songbirds drift through ancient trees, and life settles into a simpler rhythm.

You can wander into the Original Mast General Store, sip coffee on a cabin porch, or explore winding backroads that lead to creeks and meadows. It’s the kind of place where front porches matter, neighbors wave, and the hush of nature speaks volumes. For those seeking beauty and peace, Valle Crucis is waiting.

The Mast Farm Inn is proud to serve travelers from across North Carolina, including Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and Wilmington.
