Looking for originality? You found it. Why buy a home when you can build a fairy-tale?
Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment.
We'd noticed as we evolved that we felt generally unfulfilled by the direction society had gone. That our biology and our brain's wiring just didn't naturally mesh when forced to blend with the masses. We had come to learn that we are far from alone, and that made us feel a little less weird.
Still, we thought the answer called for more, maybe even drastic action if we could muster the courage. We were thinking a full retreat and redesign, but had very little resources.
Can a family use their own minds and hands, with some grit, to handcraft a home and life that felt right? That they didn't even want to vacation from? I don't know, but we decided to try. We still are. Have we done it? You be the judge.
In 2019 right before the pandemic, we left our Miami handcrafted furniture business to pursue this new goal. A project in practicality and passion. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living and find a harmony between the helpful aspects of the modern world and the good parts of the old, that maybe society should have held tight to. We wanted to play with this idea...all while keeping it classy ;-)
At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cottages, using solar energy, composting organics, sewing and reaping, in a way that is fair to our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature.
Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" slow, simple living can feel. We all have personal priorities, and those will vary greatly. But within that, we can all include ways of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our neighbors.
Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, that they can appreciate our perspectives and some of our old-fashioned ways. Our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm.
Please Note: Because our land is adjacent to a forest and features a natural,
undeveloped landscape—including local wildlife, insects, and natural terrain—we want to ensure everyone understands their responsibilities for staying here, before booking.
Personal Responsibility: You take full and complete responsibility for yourself, your guests, your vehicle(s), and your leashed pet(s) in every way while on the premises.
Insurance: You are solely responsible for carrying my own personal, vehicle, and pet insurance to whatever degree you deem necessary.
Release of Liability: You agree not to hold the property owners responsible in any way for any accident, injury, loss, damage, or incident of any kind that may occur to yourself, your guests, your property, your vehicle, or your pets while on the land.
Lawful Conduct: This acknowledgement applies to all non-criminal matters and standard risks associated with occupying a natural, outdoor environment.

• Now, why we live different than most:
Welcome to Heirloom Hamlet. In an effort to find a balance between an old-fashioned lifestyle and the new, our family is handcrafting a unique eco-friendly homestead near romantic Savannah. Why?
We wanted a life that we didn't need a vacation from. One where we were excited to tackle each day from start to finish. One that didn't carry out someone else's goals, but our own. We wanted more time, less stuff. At some point, Ani and I embraced that our ambition was different from the masses. We talked a lot. We got on the same page. Our priority was to have a calm lifestyle with clarity, and in a unique space. We were willing to work. We were willing to sacrifice. We weren't willing to compromise.
That's it. We don't think we are special. We don't think we are smart. We do think we are alert and maybe feel a certain sense of courage and toughness. So we try to lean into that. Our approach to shutting off the noise so we can hear our own voice is probably not worth hearing much more about. That said, never hesitate to ask or share. We enjoy rubbing shoulders with like-minded people.
Also good to know:
Heirloom is definitely not a traditional campground, or a campground at all. It is first and foremost our home. We try to be personable and interact warmly, like the good old days, as they say. Some prefer the more public, businesslike approach to camping, and that is totally understandable. Here, though, we try to maintain a different vibe. If you don't think that our unique lifestyle is for you, that will not hurt our feelings, but it would probably be best to book a stay at a commercial campground. If something quaint and different is right up your alley, we look forward to meeting and hosting you as a small part of your journey.
Heirloom is not a place for absolute solitude. Being a few minutes from the most traversed interstate in the US is not what we'd call remote. Remember, we were aiming for balance in our design. We are in a quaint wooded area, but there are still planes, trains and automobiles. Keep in mind when booking at our hamlet, that you are prioritizing creativity, convenience and accessibility, not seclusion.
Dogs are especially welcome. Mark Twain once said, "The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog." I think we all know what he meant.
There are fire ants in the south. To avoid their sting and any other sharp objects, everyone, especially small children, need to wear shoes at all times.
We are still actively building, but I don't want you to hesitate to wander the land and check things out for yourself. Take pictures of whatever you like. I don’t think that we typically make too much racket while working, but I apologize in advance if we do…it would probably have been my fault. Often our activities are pretty neat to witness.
Our Bath House is a creatively designed, pleasant outdoor shower and custom eco-toilet. We're famous for it. It is high tech for a dry toilet, but a dry toilet non-the-less. Remember, for us, it is important that we are good to our environment. However, if non-traditional is just not for you, that's okay. But it may be best to find yourself a regular old campground with a regular old public restroom.
Your friend,
Curt Speaking of that... The way a separating toilet works is an impressive, pleasant experience, if you can say that about... that. Solids and liquids are separated, so sewage is never formed. The liquids end up feeding the landscape and solids go to a compost where it breaks down into an organic fertilizer for healthy soil and plants. We all should be doing our best to work with nature in our own unique circumstances, and this is ours. Some people are not interested in learning new tricks, and they have that right. We understand. If you aren't sure that you can temporarily embrace using a classy, well thought-out dry toilet, it may be best to stay elsewhere. But, the main point is this: Males must sit to pee. It is a MUST. Remember, there is no water in the toilet. If a man stands, all that liquid collides with plastic. Then it becomes a yellow micro-explosion, literally everywhere. It is not about aim, skills or talent. He would only be there for 30 SECONDS, and leave feeling pretty good about himself. Then, because I like nice things, I would have to personally go in after him and spend 30 MINUTES on my hands and knees disinfecting every inch of the entire room. Incidentally, this is exactly the same thing his mother, girlfriend and/or wife has been doing for him for perhaps decades, allowing the guy to live in oblivion. The difference is, I am not their mom, girlfriend or wife. I am a pretty cool guy that lives by the Golden Rule. That's why I try to make everything so attractive and clean, because it is the way I would want things to be. Nobody likes port-o-potties. Please don’t turn our Bath House into one. Sit. It's clean. If any male is looking for camping accommodations, but is way too awesome and macho to sit to pee, or is just super lazy by nature and will most likely not sit to pee, Heirloom is most definitely not their place. There is no need to book a stay here. I’m confident you will be much happier elsewhere. I should add that dudes CAN sometimes pee standing up here. In the woods. On a tree. Seriously though, I promise, you won't have a crappy experience ;-) We look forward to meeting you.

Walden Cottage
100%
(10)Bungalow · Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Henry David Thoreau was not a hermit. He was terrified of reaching the end of his life only to learn that he'd spent nearly his entire experience on autopilot. Could many of us be doing just that?
We have created our version of Walden Cottage with this same thought in mind. What is it like to have comfortable enough quarters, but only the bare necessities? Well, maybe a few eco-friendly extras. I mean, c'mon, it is 2026.
"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity," Thoreau famously wrote. Walden Cottage is a break from the traditional comfort driven design, with a memorable experience as the goal.
Start a fire in the small wood stove for warmth. Move natural air for cool. Climb into the loft to rest. Even test your toughness and journey outdoors and into the screened lanai to use the washroom and water closet. Walden may not push your very limits, but it certainly will be a non-traditional living experience, in this day and age, that will teach you something about yourself and share what it would feel like to live another way.
What to expect:
Full-size loft bed (firm) - Full-size lounge (firm) - Wood Burning Stove - Kitchen Sink (Cold) - Positive / Negative Air Movement - Refrigerator - Microwave - Electric Coffee / Tea Kettle - Private Screened Lanai - Griddle Cooktop - Hammock - Outdoor Fire Pit - Wood Sauna - Private Euro Hot Shower - Private High-Tech Composting Toilet - Solar Energy - Gray Water Repurposing - Private Washing Machine (Cold) - (if necessary) A/C - Some Basics (Sheets, Blankets, Towels, Dinner Ware, Utensils, Cook Ware, Coffee French Press, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, Cream, Sugar)
What not to expect:
Misery - Boredom - Anxiety
We look forward to your joining us, if just for a short time, in the slow life.

A-Frame Cabin
Booked 1 time
A-frame · Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet
"Nature provides exceptions to every rule." - Margaret Fuller
Fuller, a close friend of both Emerson and Thoreau, celebrated the unconventional and wild aspects of nature that refuse to fit into a neat, tidy box. Beginning with shapes and angles, our A'Frame Cabin similarly breaks lots of typical living space rules. It is the only structure at Heirloom Hamlet that was envisioned before we even began.
Ani and I believe that a memorable getaway should feel anything but ordinary. It was designed with intention, that is, for those who appreciate character, craftsmanship, and a break from the predictable.
For a period of time we called this minimalist build home, a necessary step to instill aspects of our own personalities. Handmade features throughout and a moody, rustic-modern energy, the A'Frame has been purposefully made to generate a sense of elsewhere. Seasonally, we still occupy the cabin for a much needed reset. You may even notice a few small details that reveal this.
But make no mistake, the space offers guests a distinct, non-traditional retreat environment where they can experience time at Heirloom on their own terms.
What to expect:
Full-size loft bed (firm) - Lounge area (firm) - Wood Burning Stove - Air Conditioner - Kitchen Sink (Hot/Cold) - Positive / Negative Air Movement - Refrigerator - Microwave - Electric Coffee / Tea Kettle - Television - Front Porch - Breville Oven - Gas Cooktop - Outdoor Fire Pit - Wood Sauna Access - Private Shower - Private High-Tech Composting Toilet - Solar Energy - Gray Water Repurposing - Private Washing Machine (Cold)
Included Staples (Sheets, Blankets, Towels, Dinner Ware, Utensils, Cook Ware, Coffee French Press, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, Cream, Sugar)
What not to expect:
Misery - Boredom - Anxiety
We look forward to your joining us, if just for a short time, in the slow life.
Curt and Ani
Please note: As the toilet room and bed are on the second floor loft, accessed only by a steep ladder-step hybrid, anyone staying in A'Frame Cabin must be fit and size appropriate to do so. As always, guests will be asked to sign a personal responsibility liability waiver. For a single floor stay at Heirloom Hamlet, please see our "Walden Cottage".

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Curt and his family have created a welcoming and unique camping experience that combines elements of glamping with a touch of rustic charm. The property is noted for its tranquility and eco-friendly features, including a composting toilet and an outdoor shower that guests rave about. While most visitors appreciate the peaceful setting and the thoughtful design of the space, one review did mention proximity to a busy road as a downside.

Curt and family have carved out a beautiful spot here and have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. Wish we had more time, would have loved to bike in to Ridgeland, lots of cute shops and restaurants. Look forward to returning on our next trip.
