I would like people to know about my little town......When we first heard of Love Valley, we were scared to death to visit.....then we did and our fears were gone. 8 years ago we bought a cabin so we could vacation here whenever we wanted, after 3 years, we bought a house because we could not imagine not being here full time. Although we were new to this town, the people were friendly, helpful and neighborly. We have met people from all across the country who will tell you the same. For those who had a bad experience, 90% of the time they brought it on themselves. When you come to Love Valley, you will be treated with kindness and respect, we only ask that you respect our town and leave it as you found it. Before you judge on the opinions of a few, visit us and judge for yourself. Thank You, Christi Turk

I have traveled all over the Eastern United States with my horse. And there is no where like Love Valley NC. Where can you saddle up, ride the trails and end up in a western town? You can ride into town tie your horse at the hitching rail, enjoy a good meal, a cold beverage and mingle with other horse lovers. This is not Tweetsie Railroad or an amusement park, this if for cowgirls and cowboys that love to ride. Plenty of camping, cabins or rooms to rent. I have never felt afraid to ride the trails alone or be in town alone and everyone you meet there becomes your friend. I move to Love Valley in 2007 for the reasons above, I love this place and I am proud to call it home

Love Valley is unique. Small western ghost town with miles of horse trails. Bring your family, friends and your horse and experience the peace, quiet and beauty of the brushy mountain foothills. Centrally located just a short distance from charlotte, Winston-Salem and Asheville .

All was ok until going into a barn with 10-12 stalls or so, all with horses in them. Only one stall had fresh hay--the others were dirty and those horse were standing in thick,gross muck. One of the horses looked quite ill. No animal should live in these conditions and I emplore that action is taken!! I was going to call the proper authorities, but hope this will give you a chance to correct 1st.

For 14 years from day one when I attended the fun show and got my truck & trailer stuck and this stranger pulled me out at no charge, I'd come across a unique place. Met the Caruso's who insisted I come stay the night at their farm. Realized this town was made up of some of the nicest people who will do what ever they can to help a person out. They are kind and many live by the ways of the old west. Most have horses/mules as their main interest. If you're not a cowgirl/boy you may not get the same taste of town that many do. Yet, I've met many who dress the part and are there every Saturday night. They have a so much to offer in the way of camping, rooms, food, and the Love Valley Horseman's Association who leases the trails so there are miles of trails to ride. Scheduled events for rider's to join in. Just check facebook and come for a visit. Everything is not as old west as Andy dreamed but it's something he and I are proud to be a part of and look forward to going each year. Main part of town is dirt road and hitching posts for your equine so you can ride up and tie your horse and go in for a beverage or shop. You can park within walking distance and walk the boardwalk and do the same. Have lunch or dinner at one of the 2 eating establishments. Spend the night by getting a room or rent a cabin. Many options, with or without an equine partner.

I realize that this site is mostly for people that have traveled here and how their stay was, on a one time occasion.But as a Love Valley local i feel i have to express how i feel about "the cowboy capital" I have lived here all my life and have seen it go through many stages. At one point i will admit it was a little rough. But this beautiful town has always been a tourist attraction, including families.I see a lot of complaints about how they would not bring their kids here because of all the "drunks." To be honest, if i was not a local and knew everyone around i probably wouldn’t bring my kids up town after dark in the first place; mainly because yes, after a long day on the trails, that indeed may have included a few beers... i would most likely be coming up town to enjoy the night life. Example.... the bar, would you take your kids up to the strip in charlotte after 6 o’clock?The valley is a horse town, many of the people here have more experience with horses than most people you know, and ABSOLUTLY do not mistreat their horses; on big holiday weekends, i myself see horses being mistreated, but never by locals, on big weekends we have people from all over come to visit, if you see horses being mistreated, please don’t assume it’s a local, and please don’t hold it against the town. That’s like blaming a pencil for misspelled words, on occasion it may happen here, but it in no way should reflect on the town. I do not agree with any animal being mistreated but in some cases that has to be handled situation by situation. Dirt and dust is what makes this town so great, no other place in the world can you go and see the authentic old west like in Love Valley North Carolina, i would much rather my horses walk on the trails and dirt roads around this town, than asphalt and pavement any day. It is what this town was built around and wouldn’t be the same without it, i understand people travel to see places they have never seen before, but honestly when i travel to a place where i have never been, i do my research, which is why people go to websites like this. If dirt and dust is not your forte’ then obviously I’d think about heading farther north for a weekend vacation. I’m not by any means discouraging anyone from coming here, anywhere you go there are bound to be people that do not get along, and yes when you add alcohol to the mix it can get heated, but we do our best to keep it contained thanks to the great bar staff and bouncers that we have. We are not going to stop people from coming to our town because they may cause problems, if we did that we would have no business at all. Anyone in the right situation can cause a problem. Also us "locals" are very "close knit", most of us have known each other our entire lives, but by no means do we look at people as outsiders, we welcome these so called "outsiders" y'all are what keeps this town alive and running,I hate to see all these bad reviews about our little town, it’s kind of a catch 22 in most cases, because for one, coming here can sometimes be a culture shock for some people so if it’s not what the expected in any aspect it can be taken badly, and also, to be honest when i buy something or go somewhere, unless i did happen to get a bad product or have a bad time, that is the only time i even think to write a review, so for the people that do come here weekend after weekend, that have a great time, unfortunately most of the time it goes unrecorded.

I do not believe in drinking and riding as I've seen animals injured due to poor judgment on the part of their riders and Love Valley seems to have more than its fair share of drunks. There are some good trails and beautiful scenery but the town is full of drunk weekenders and you will encounter them on the trails as well. As a female, I would not feel safe riding in a small group or with just another female with me due to the rowdy nature of some of the riders.

Nice place to go if you dont mind riding on rocky ( and I mean rocky) horse trails. Trust me stay at the Love Valley Campgroung. Nicest and cleanest of all the places in Love Valley. All level and the stalls are by far the most comfortable for your horses. If you can get ahold of and or hire a trail guide the best is Phil Luongo. You can try to navigate the trails by yourself but Phil knows the place like the back of his hand. He has a camp there in town. The town is a little quirky. We were there during the week so it was very quiet. Maybe a little better during the events or on a weekend. Scratch it off the bucket list once you go because you will probably not want to go back again. We went from South Florida so it was a long ride and we were very disappointed.

I'm sorry some of the other people didn't enjoy the town. We loved it. One person said it was dirty and dingy. Well, it's a western town with dirt roads. What would you expect? You should check out their website and upload their brochure to find out when the different events are taking place. We just stumbled upon it after seeing a sign on one of the back roads and decided to visit. The saloon was open and we had a very good lunch (very good sandwich menu). We didn't have time to rent horses but we plan on going back and making a day of it.

This place was horrible! It was nothing like it was portrayed. We actually left a day early even though we had already paid for the next night. Everyone was drunk and very crude. We went downtown and none of the stores were even open. We went to The Chicken Coup at 6:00 and everyone there was already drunk and still riding their horses. The people there are very close knit and they could tell we were "outsiders". It felt like a drunken fight could break out at any time. We stayed there 15 mins and quickly left. There were stink bugs everywhere. The cabin we rented through Triple T Cabins was full of stink bugs and spiders and was not clean at all. When I told the owner we were leaving early she said the bugs have been bad this year and told us to come back again and we could stay free. I told her that will never happen!! Stay far far away from this place! I have never written a negative review about any lodging or town we've visited but I just felt compelled to do this.
