Alta Vista is located in a historic home in Valle Crucis, N.C., on the National Register of Historic Places, and in the heart of the North Carolina Blue Ridge mountains, close to the resort communities of Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk. Alta Vista's wide front porch -- complete with antique swing and rockers -- invites you to take a relaxing break and become a part of this special place where you can rest and not rush -- where you can enjoy Alta Vista's treasures -- in the fine art gallery downstairs and the upscale B&B rooms upstairs. It's a B & B lodging gem hidden away from the crowds, but once you find it, it's the kind of gallery shopping and B & B lodging experience you come back to, and tell all your friends to come as well.
