I needed a room for an event at Crystal Mountain. The nightly rates were more than a mortgage payment! The sweet reservationist recommended Mountain Valley Lodge, and I'm so glad she did!! It is just 3 miles down the road! I was very pleasantly surprised by how lovely the property is and the rooms matched. Quaint, absolutely adorable, clean as a whistle, whisper quiet for sleeping. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!! Super comfy beds, hot shower, great stay!!!
