Weekend Trip to Take a Hike on a Wild side! Camping

Beautiful location, very secluded. We loved it there.

Weekend Trip to Take a Hike on a Wild side! Camping

The spot is so beautiful and we felt like the only people in the world! Adil kindly provided us with bedding when we forgot ours at him. He’s a great host and we very much enjoyed our stay

Weekend Trip to Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora

We did an instant book and even though Brianna was out of town and had little service, she went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. It is such a beautiful spot and I definitely recommend getting the kayak or paddle board rental. The lake is gorgeous! Very dog friendly as well, would recommend bringing your pup along. So much to do in the area!

Great place! Adil truly thought of everything. We stayed at site 2. The ponds that are a short walk away were great to walk around and fish. We and our dog had the best time!

Great spot in the mountains. The wagon was clean, comfy and lovely. We will definitely be back. If you like novelty, get over to Lenoir and stay in a pioneer wagon!

I had a fantastic time camping in the yurt! It was spacious with two comfortable cots, and the wood heater added a cozy, authentic touch to the experience. The location was easy to find and access, making it hassle-free to settle in. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, which was a nice bonus. I loved the little creek in front of the yurt—it was so peaceful hearing the water all day. The shed with EcoFlow generators was a thoughtful touch, providing a small charger for the yurt. Being completely unplugged with no service was refreshing! My dog had a blast, too. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and immersive camping experience!

Weekend Trip to Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora

10/10 would recommend! It’s nice to have just about everything you need provided. We stayed in February so it was cold and rainy but the yurt kept us dry. The heated blanket was a lifesaver and we brought our own mini-Buddy heater. Brianna was a great host — super responsive and helpful. Highlights: *Generator that powers just about anything you need inside the yurt. *Kayak was comfortable and the lake was beautiful to explore. *Fonta Flora trail (next to yurt) was well maintained and fun to trail run on. I wish it didn’t rain all weekend so we could’ve enjoyed this place more. I hope we will be back!

2 nights at The Coziest Cabin on Earth!

This adorable little cabin was everything my fiancée and I wanted for a peaceful weekend getaway. The location feels very secluded and the cabin is surrounded by beautiful woods. So quiet and peaceful, we heard zero traffic noise. Our dogs absolutely loved being able to be off leash, and there are several little trails that were a blast to explore. The cabin was very comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed. Host was very helpful and responsive, we definitely would love to come back sometime in the future!

We recently had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful yurt hosted by Farmer Sprout, and it was an experience our family will not soon forget. The yurt was everything we hoped for—charming, clean, and incredibly comfortable. It offered a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, making it an ideal getaway for our family. Farmer Sprout was a standout host—responsive, welcoming, and truly professional. From the moment we booked, communication was seamless, and any questions we had were answered quickly. Upon arrival, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, making us feel right at home. The surrounding property was equally wonderful, with plenty of space for our family to relax and explore. Our kids enjoyed the open space, and we loved how quiet and peaceful the area was. The entire stay was seamless, and we felt well taken care of throughout. We left with full hearts and already have plans to return. It’s rare to find such a combination of beauty, comfort, and exceptional hospitality, but Farmer Sprout delivered on all fronts. Highly recommend this yurt stay for anyone looking to escape into nature without sacrificing comfort.

Super cute spot! The host was super responsive. It rained a lot but I stayed dry inside the yurt. I suppose I should have expected it but the cots are, well cots, not beds. I’m glad I threw my sleeping mat in at the last minute. I slept comfy and cozy on a wet cold night.

Weekend Trip to The Coziest Cabin on Earth!

The cabin was so clean and cozy, well stocked with everything I needed. There are so many great little touches that make it extra homey. I loved watching the stars and enjoying the nighttime quiet, and exploring the woods by day. It was a really delightful escape and I would recommend to anyone who wants to get away but still wants some of the comforts of home.

Everything was perfect, Adil's setup included everything we needed and some things we wouldn't have thought of. We loved the area, and the kids had fun with the canoe. We'll be going back and would recommend this site to anyone.

Take a Hike on a Wild side! Camping

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents180 acres · Lenoir, NC

This property is 180 acres of woods and mountains with streams and ponds. Beautiful settings. If you like hiking in the mountains this will definitely hit the spot. YO can fish in the ponds it has blue gills and catfish. I also added grass carp there as part of weed management. This used to be an abandoned farm which I want to bring back to life. The site offers three luxury large Safari Style Tents and 4 Pioneer wagons. All tents are far away from each other to provide privacy and freedom of going Wild (still remaining civilized in your manners and careful attitude to Nature around you). Tent 1 is in the Forrest itself and it is pretty cook and serene. Tent 2 is on the top of a rocky hill overlooking the forest. Tent 3 is the most remote and closest to the ponds. It has most of the open space around it, and can be a great place for parties. We are working on making the sites and the area more comfortable, but I do not want to make it a manicured park. I want it to remain wild and still offer comfortable stay. The farm is work in progress. Eventually it will be an Ostrich farm. and have other animals too. The closest town - Lenoir is about 12 miles away . Closest Grocery store (Dollar General) - about 3 miles away. Closest Gas station - 2 miles away. Professional Tennis court, Basketball court and large kids playground are in a public park within - 5 minute drive. Lenoir has restaurants, shopping, etc. Hickory is a larger town about 25 minutes drive. Hickory Lake is a large reservoir with marina where you can rent a boat and it also offers a good game fishing. Nice swimming beach access on Lake Hickory 13 miles ( 20 Minutes) from here: Lake Hickory Wittenburg access area (Wittenburg Access Area, 175 Wildlife Access Rd, Hickory, NC 28601) Asheville is 1:25 hrs to the West, Charlotte is 1:25 hr to the East.
