Luxury Home - The Bungalow
A soulful sanctuary for families, friends, or couples to gather, ground, and reconnect—with nature and each other.
Tucked into a peaceful enclave at Valley Bear Farms, The Bungalow is a beautifully appointed 3-bedroom home designed for rest, connection, and a little indulgence. Surrounded by trees and birdsong, this pet-friendly retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort and calm, with thoughtful touches throughout to make you feel truly held.
Inside, you’ll find three distinct bedrooms to suit every kind of guest: a serene primary suite with king-size bed and a private bath, a second bedroom featuring a playful bunk bed (perfect for kids or the young-at-heart), and a lofted third room with its own cozy lounge area and workspace for journaling, dreaming, or sneaky remote work.
The heart of The Bungalow? A stunning glass wall that opens onto your private back porch—where a gas grill, patio and hot tub awaits beneath the sky. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee to the sound of the forest or soaking under the stars, this space invites you to slow down and stay awhile.
Welcome to The Bungalow, where the wild holds you gently, and every moment feels like an exhale.
For your safety, there are exterior security cameras around the outside of the home and a Ring doorbell camera at the front entrance. 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.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a refrigerator and a microwave. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a hot tub or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.
