If you're craving a unique way to unplug and recharge in the great outdoors, Valley Bear Farms might just be your new favorite escape. Tucked away in the quiet beauty of Balsam Grove, NC just an hour outside of Asheville this 150-acre mountain retreat offers more than just a place to stay. It's where fresh air, forest trails, and starry nights come standard.
Our cabins are comfy, cozy, and surrounded by nothing but nature. Each one is tucked into the trees with views for days, a private patio for morning coffee or late-night stargazing, and everything you need to settle in and relax. Whether you’re stretching out on a king bed or sharing laughs in a cabin with queen bunk beds, you’ll feel right at home just with way better scenery.
During your stay, wander our nature trails, cool off at a hidden waterfall, or challenge your crew to a game of volleyball or pickleball. There's even a private garden if you're in the mood for something more mellow.
It’s camping just without the sleeping bags and soggy socks. Whether you're here for a quick weekend reset or a full week off-grid, Valley Bear Farms is all about slowing down, soaking it in, and reconnecting with what really matters.
Plus, you're only 12 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, so you can explore even more of what makes this part of North Carolina so unforgettable

The Nest was the perfect getaway for me and my dog. It's comfy, cozy, and clean. It's a great location if you want to explore all the natural beauty WNC has to offer. It's small, but has everything you might need and the hot shower was a big plus after spending the day outside.

Frostwood is an incredibly well detailed glamping experience. All the small details from the sink with water pumped in to the kitchen details and camp chairs for the fire pit make a stay here feel like a relaxing vacation. Hiking trails are less than a mile away. Appreciated the quick responses from Kris with questions.

1 night at Cashiers Glamping
This was one of the best camp set ups we’ve been to by far. Parking is right there, great fire pit and grill set up. We had some light rain in the morning, so the covered porch was perfect while we waited it out and had our breakfast. Will definitely be coming back .

Loved staying at The Nest. It was cozy with everything we needed to enjoy our time. We were able to go hiking, drive easily to stores, or restaurants as needed and come back to enjoy the beautiful space that has been created for guests.

Weekend Trip to The Nest on Laurel Drive
So glad we found this place. My best friend and I needed a little nature getaway and this was just what we needed! Cozy, simple, and a perfect location. When we weren't hiking or exploring lakes, we spent most of our time outside grilling or just by the fire. Absolutely incredible and we can't wait to come back!
