The Retreat at Valley Bear Farms

~Experience Pisgah National at Valley Bear Farms~

Welcome to your home away from home! We’re thrilled to offer you exclusive pre-opening rates during our soft launch. While our grand opening is set for 2025, you can start enjoying our beautiful property right now.

During this pre-launch phase, some of our exciting amenities—like the dog play area, community garden, kids play area, and events center—are still under development. This is your chance to experience our charming retreat at a special discounted rate.

We also would love feedback during our soft opening time to help us improve and give the most excellent experience for our guests.

~The Retreat at Valley Bear Farms~

Immerse yourself in the epitome of luxury within the embrace of nature on a vast expanse of 150 pristine acres. The Retreat is a harmonious fusion of sophistication and the untamed, meticulously curated for those with a love for elegantly adventurous escapes. Envision contemporary design, refined comfort, and an ambiance that seamlessly marries opulence with the tranquil beauty of the wilderness.

This expansive residence features three beautifully designed bedrooms and three elegant bathrooms, each epitomizing contemporary sophistication.

Begin your days on the private front deck, taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of our 150-acre resort and farm, all from the comfort of your home.

The heart of this stunning property is the second-level kitchen, equipped with state-of-the-art appliances. Additionally, a chic basement wet bar offers convenience for lower-level guests. A mudroom and laundry area further blend practicality with luxury.

Step out from the master bedroom onto a private deck, an idyllic setting for relaxation or intimate dining with a picturesque backdrop. The outdoor living space is enhanced with an open-air fireplace and a hot tub, perfect for unwinding under the stars. Surrounded by lush greenery, this home offers a private, stylish retreat into nature.

Experience the exclusivity of a 150 acre private resort, complete with the charm of glamping cabins, and a variety of recreational activities such as volleyball, swimming, disc golf, pickleball, bocce ball and more. The community garden allows for the gathering of freshly picked produce.

~How To Access Our Farms~

For a smooth arrival, please use North Carolina Highway 215 to access Tanasee Gap and Bald Rock Roads, avoiding the gravel roads of Pisgah National Forest. We recommend checking road conditions before your trip, especially during winter months.
