Valle Crucis is home to the Mast General Store, which offers goods from backpacks and walking boots to old-time candy and everything in between. Right behind the store is Valle Crucis Community Park, with playgrounds, walking trails, sports fields, and access to the New River, where you can swim and fish. The Great Bear Lodge is 7 miles from Boone, with local shopping, restaurants, the Boone Golf Course, Tweetsie Railroad Amusement Park, High Gravity Adventures Zipline and Aerial Park, and Appalachian Ski Mountain.

There is space for guests to spread out in the lower level family room with entertainment, including a TV, foosball, shuffleboard, and a wet bar. Outside on the lower level, enjoy the hot tub on a covered patio with the fire pit (owners provide free firewood) overlooking the mountain view.

There is a King suite loft with a private bathroom, a queen bedroom on the main level, and a bunk room on the lower level with a twin-over-full bunk and a twin trundle. The lower-level family room sofa also converts into a queen sleeper.
