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.
