Luxury Home - The Retreat House
Where luxury rises above the resort.
Perched high on the resort landscape, The Retreat House is the crown jewel of Valley Bear Farms—a private, pet-free sanctuary where elevated design meets sweeping views of the Pisgah wilderness.
This three-bedroom modern lodge was crafted for those who crave both serenity and sophistication. The primary king suite offers an ensuite bath and direct access to a private deck—ideal for slow coffee mornings or starlit evenings. Two beautifully appointed queen bedrooms share a separate full bath, each styled with understated elegance and intentional comfort. The heart of the home lives on the second level, where a chef’s kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances opens to panoramic vistas of our 150-acre resort and farm. Downstairs, a sleek wet bar and cozy lounge area invite connection and celebration. A spacious mudroom and laundry area ensure your stay is as effortless as it is indulgent.
Outside, the living is just as intentional. A private hot tub, open-air fireplace, and two expansive decks offer multiple ways to soak in the mountain air, the silence, and the sense of peace that comes from being fully surrounded by wild beauty.
The Retreat House isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a perspective shift, a breath of fresh air, and a luxurious retreat into nature’s most elevated expression.
For your safety, there are exterior security camera all around the outside of the home and a Ring doorbell camera at the 2 front entrances. These cameras monitor only the outside area, not inside the home.
All Valley Bear Farms’ accommodations offer full access to resort amenities such as wood-burning sauna, disc golf course, pickleball courts, private hiking trails, creek-fed pond and much, much more.
