Town of Love Valley Love Valley
Step back in time and experience the charm of Love Valley, an authentic western town nestled in the scenic foothills of the Brushy Mountains, just north of Statesville. Founded in 1954 by Andy Barker, who left his successful career to pursue his dream of living in a real cowboy town, Love Valley is a place where the Old West comes to life. With its dirt roads, boardwalks and hitching rails, visitors are invited to saddle up and explore the town on horseback - as motorized vehicles aren’t allowed within the city limits to preserve the true western atmosphere.
Whether you’re a cowboy at heart or simply looking for a peaceful escape from city life, Love Valley offers the perfect retreat. Horse rentals are available, or you can bring your own horse and take advantage of the town's stables. Love Valley also provides a range of accommodations, from campsites to cozy cabins.
