The Skyline Village Inn has been a landmark adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway for 70 years. In 1938 John Greer bought the land next to the Parkway and started making moonshine in a cavern just off the road on what is now NC 226 Alt. The US Government had begun construction of the Parkway only 3 years prior and had plans to construct a bridge over NC 26 (now 226A). John made plans to construct a gas station and store alongside the Parkway. He funded these plans with the money he made selling moonshine.
Historians believe the building was built sometime in the 1920s, making it one of the oldest commercial buildings in Crossnore.

Hike to the Beacon Heights summit off the Blue Ridge Parkway, catching stunning views of Grandfather Mountain from a pair of rocky overlooks and exploring a beautiful, rocky, mossy forest.
We serve breakfast and lunch at The Tartan every day, from 7 am til 2 pm.
Our passion is Slow Smoked BBQ . Born and raised in the south, BBQ has always been a tradition in my family.
Our goal is to prepare fresh but simple street sandwiches and smoked meats daily for the most delicious meal.
Our shop resides in what was once an iconic greasy spoon in our community. The restaurant was home to the “Liars Table,” an open table where anyone could pull up a chair, order a cup of coffee and be sure to hear some tall tales.
Just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 4 miles south of the Linn Cove Viaduct, is the short self-guiding Flat Rock loop trail that provides easy access to the rocky summit of Flat Rock where you have spectacular views of the Grandfather Mountain and the Linville Valley. This beautiful walk through the forest is only about 7/10th’s of a mile and has numerous informative signs along the trail.

The Park is at about 1800′ elevation in the middle of the Pisgah National Forest, nestled in a narrow valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. Beautiful Buck Creek flows through this valley and along two sides of the campground. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only about 3 miles away, but it’s 5 miles by road.
