Nestled in the forest in the Highlands of North Carolina is a cabin style five bedroom lodge that serves as a quiet bed and breakfast. It’s found in Valle Crucis, which is Latin for ‘Vale of the Cross.’ The name is derived from the three streams that converge in Valle Crucis and make the shape of the cross. For those who have been to Valle Crucis before, the name fits. There’s a divine peace found in this remote valley where so many visitors to the area often find themselves and are thankful to have arrived here, one way or another.

The Lazy Bear Lodge is found within the Vale of the Cross.
