    Valle Crucis, North Carolina has been attracting settlers and travelers alike, for nearly 200 years. Taylor House Inn is a Bed & Beakfast and, with the majestic surrounding valley scene and the beautiful herb garden, it is the perfect place to spend some quality time as well as to host an outdoor wedding or any other event. We at the Taylor House Inn invite you to come and experience a place that seems one of times past, a place where moments of solitude are as abundant as the rivers and streams that give life to the surrounding hills. We feel fortunate to be part of such a powerful place and would like to extend our hospitality to help share the magic of Valle Crucis.

    We were there for only 1 night for my wife's birthday. Tessa & Bernard were outstanding hosts. They upgraded our room for my wife's birthday - no extra cost! We enjoyed our stay - it was perfect for our 1 night; we will stay again and recommend.


    Charm in the NC mountains.

    The rooms were chilly. I woke up several times and was cold. The hot water was great however. Filled up the bathtub and never ran out. Would go back, but would pick a room that wasn't on the1st floor.

    The owners are wonderful hosts. The house is in a wonderful rural area within a short driving distance to the ski sloped and the Mast General Store. It was simply wonderful and we will return.
