Welcome from the Director

Welcome...
Nestled in the many mountains of Southwestern Virginia you'll find a place to call home. In Smyth County, Virginia, we've held onto the best of what southern mountain communities can be:

Slow. Southern. Style. We take pride in our welcoming hospitality and a neighborly attitude that will make you feel at home.
We're about traditions, mountain heritage, unique local arts & crafts, music, history, personality and a myriad of cultural treasures and delicacies you can't help but love.
We're about tomorrow; the one we're building together with a vision of planning in mind to conserve and preserve the best of our past for future generations.
It's only natural you'd want to be here...

Cradled among the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Appalachian Mountains, Jefferson National Forest, the Iron Mountains and Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, Smyth County is blessed with spectacular vistas throughout its boundaries.

Near enough to major state and national attractions, such as the Blue Ridge Parkway, country music's birthplace along the Crooked Road and the Appalachian Trail, we are the scenic setting where town and country meet.

Lakes, mountains, creeks, streams, and rolling hills make it only natural you'd want to visit and are only one part of why you'll find you want to stay.

Dogwood blossoms and mountains laurels lace springtime in Smyth County with promise and in fresh, fragrant delight. Sultry southern summer sunsets give way to soft layers of fog-laden mountain ridges that go on forever in the quiet blue sky of twilight. Autumn's landscape blazes with reds, yellows and browns as it turns into the cool crisp frosty sheen of our winter wonderland. We celebrate each season for its unique and inspiring beauty.

Business never looked so good...

It's true you'll find us a quaint getaway sleepy enough to relax the rough edges, yet you'll also see we are cultivating a business climate that is awake to the realities and possibilities of the global modern age.
