The Escape You Need

The view from the top.
Nothing between you and the mountains.

The Overlook sits higher than everything else on the property. The second level opens onto sweeping views of 150 acres of North Carolina wilderness, with a chef's kitchen and open living space that makes it easy to settle in. Downstairs, a wet bar and lounge give the group somewhere to land at the end of the day. Outside, two decks, a private hot tub, and an open-air fireplace are the perfect way to unwind. For anyone searching for Blue Ridge vacation rentals for groups that don't require any compromises, The Overlook is the answer.

"This is luxury camping done perfectly. The property is open, peaceful, and family-friendly. Our son loved the playground, we played pickleball together, visited the horses and chickens, and joined a guided hike to a waterfall. The sauna and cold plunge were amazing, and the campfire s'mores + mimosa social was such a fun way to connect."

"My husband and I had the opportunity to bring our kids here for a weekend and it was absolutely amazing. We stayed in the retreat house and the owners' attention to detail in the amenities was incredible. Overall it is a 10/10 experience! We will definitely be back!"

Autumn Thomas

"I had such a great visit at Valley Bear Farms! It exceeded my expectations. We booked the Retreat House and it was spacious, stunning views and they even left us a little gift basket! I loved the fact that the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay without having to leave the property if we didn't want to."
