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

Weekend Trip to BSBC CAMP
The cabin had pretty much everything you needed to have a good time, and the covered gazebo was nice to eat at and play cards. The road noise can be a little loud at times but it’s peaceful at night with the little creek by the camp. It’s very close to some good hiking!

Karen and Keith were wonderful! They were friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The creekside cabin was peaceful and well-maintained, and the hosts’ attention to detail made our visit even better. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Great spot close to the college and not far from Sylva. The house is very secluded and well built on the inside. It was a great stop on our trip through Western NC.

Weekend Trip to BSBC CAMP
I loved staying at this cabin! The small space was warm and cozy, with beautiful spots to hang out outside and have a fire by the little creek. The outdoor shower was great and got very warm, even for how cold it was outside. There is a very cute town not far from the cabin as well - Traveler’s Rest - that was fun to explore. Overall, loved my stay here and would absolutely recommend it :)

Great little cabin for a solo vacation. I felt safe on the property and had no issues with the amenities. I loved the fire pit and there was plenty of firewood on site to keep the campfire going. Very beautiful dark sky -- you are able to see lots of stars and the Milky Way from the property at night.
