Secluded in an area of spectacular beauty, the Valle Crucis Conference Center overlooks a peaceful, rural valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We offer our ministry of hospitality to a diverse range of church and non-profit groups from around the Southeast.

Many groups say being at Valle Crucis feels like coming home. Maybe it is our informal and inspirational setting, where groups easily build community, or perhaps it is our popular homestyle meals.

Groups come to Valle Crucis for spiritual and personal renewal, for ski retreats and youth camps, for family reunions, and to meet and plan without the distractions of their usual work environment.

Once at Valle Crucis, groups have many recreational and cultural program options. We invite groups to explore our 448 acres of lush wooded mountain and open valley land, with its bold rushing streams and waterfalls. Perhaps your group would enjoy an old-time square dance in our historic Apple Barn.

The most popular pasttime at Valle Crucis is simply sitting in a rocker on one of our porches overlooking the pristine valley that has come to symbolize the sacred ground of Valle Crucis.
