Just clear from city lights, the hearth-fires of Appalachian life burn bright. Come stay on 50 acres butting up to Pisgah National Forest. Explore forest trails, standing stones & secret springs. Tour permaculture gardens & stretch as the morning chorus sings. You'll camp in style under starry skies with access to wifi. Sip and dip from in cold spring water while enjoying the luxury of hot showers Our freshly renovated tobacco barn has beautiful bathrooms, hot-water, plenty of power & is a great covered space to meet community, practice yoga or hang out if it rains. There's even a chance we'll be hosting, foraging tours, concerts & workshops while you are here! Nestled between modern comforts & wild nature, our hospitable farmstead has hosted guests, weddings & events for over 30 years. We are a local business run by a community of artists, farmers & entrepreneurs.Perfect for family camping and small friend groups around a fire. A 12x12 platform and multiple tent sites just a few steps from our artesian spring flowing from under an old walnut tree. Just out your tent door is a beautiful valley full of spring-fed ponds, fruit trees, homestead gardens, hiking trails & a freshly renovated tobacco barn with power & bathrooms with hot water. Also a great covered space to hang out in case it rains during your stay.

The Dogwood Court Bell Tent
This is truly an enchanting property! Michael went out of his way to accommodate us. He gave us a quick tour upon arrival and we enjoyed learning about the permaculture techniques and the unique community that is in place here. We had enough room to feel secluded but also enjoyed talking with a few of the community members. The upper fire pit has a great view and we enjoyed sitting by the fire in the morning and evening and enjoying the fall beauty. Truly a unique stay and we will enjoy visiting again in the future.

Enchanted Bell Tent & Music Venue
Our stay at Hawk & Hawthorn was just magical! Michael was a welcoming host and quick to respond to any messages we sent. Upon arrival we were greeted by many willing community members who made us feel so welcome. They helped unload our car and bring our bags and Tupperware of kitchen supplies up to the Bell Tent which was located at the top of a little hill. We had a lot of privacy and an amazing view of the valley and property. We then parked our car across the street from the property. We were so grateful to not drive our car on to the property. It allowed us to drop in deeper to land and shed all the energy of driving and city living. The bathrooms and shower were fully finished and super nice, not like the compost vault toilets we’ve been used to on this road trip. The highlight of our stay were the beautiful friendships we made with the people living on the land and attending the Paul Izak concert that was held in the shared barn space. This land is an amazing concert venue! We also enjoyed swimming in the natural spring, hiking to a cave, drinking water from the spring and just hanging and chatting with people in the barn. Our family hasn’t been this connected to nature, ourselves and each other in a long time. I’m grateful for Hawk and Hawthorn for providing the space to drop in to the healing powers of nature and music. We will for sure be back! Blessings and gratitude
