I purchased a 1960's ranch home and 4 acres over 5 years ago. I turned the home into The Fab 4 House, furnishing it with authentic Mid-century Modern furniture and naming each bedroom for 1 of the Beatles. I rent it out and it is great for events. However, I needed 1 bedroom accommodations so I purchased 3- 8'x40' shipping containers and turned them into tiny homes. You can rent 1 or all 3. The courtyard in the middle features a Tiki Bar, Beach Scene, Putting Green. I want people to enjoy the in and outside together.

The Saxapahaw Country Club is a beautiful 31-acre working farm and event space. Guests are welcome to wander the fields, relax in the hammocks, fish the stocked pond, or enjoy the giant swing suspended from the branches of our 200-year-old white oak tree.
The Country Club is an ideal spot for a quiet evening under the stars, a peaceful retreat after shows at the Haw River Ballroom, or a basecamp for exploring the river, shops, and restaurants of Saxapahaw. Chapel Hill, Mebane, Hillsborough, and Pittsboro are all just a short drive away.
In addition to camping, we host weddings, reunions, retreats, corporate functions, and other private events, as well as public gatherings throughout the year. As a membership club, we offer members special perks along with opportunities to connect, socialize, and enjoy the "country-club" lifestyle. Follow us on Instagram or join our email list to receive updates, highlights, and announcements about upcoming events.
On arrival you'll come down our curvy driveway through the trees, and see our event barn on the left. To the barn's side is a communal space for campers to enjoy with a great view. This area has a wood-fired grill and farm table, with a handwashing station out front. The shared outhouse/composting toilet is next to the pine stand with a white roof.
We have sheep, pigs and a donkey rotating through pastures behind electric fencing. Take a walk to say hello, but don't touch the fence! We also have 3 very friendly farm cats.
Pork and lamb from our farm (as well as kiln-dried firewood) is available for purchase at our farm store.

Weekend Trip to Container Experience
Great location near Saxapahaw and convenient to restaurants, shopping. Container is small — great for 2 people but wouldn’t recommend more. Good communication with owner and helpful caretaker. A great option for the price.

Weekend Trip to Container Experience
We enjoyed beautiful sunsets at this fun Beatle’s- themed tiny house community. Kathy had everything we needed there, and those staying in other units were friendly. It was perfect for our Spring Break college tour trip, being close to Elon, Chapel Hill, and Duke.

Weekend Trip to Container Experience
I hosted some friends for my birthday at The Container Experience. We’d rented two of the three containers for 6 guys. It was a great trip, and we mostly used the containers for cooking and sleeping, spending most of the time outside in the common area and by the firepit. Practically, we fit 2 guys in each container (1 on the bed and 1 on the couch) and the other two camped on the lawn. Luckily we had perfect weather the whole weekend, as it would have been hard to enjoy good company if we’d all had to fit into the container! The kitchenette was sufficient for heating food up, and I’d also brought a cast iron and camp stove for more cook-ability outdoors. The best part was the availability of a hot shower right inside, and the large concrete pad for hanging around outside. We were surprised that there are other rentable units on the same property, so it felt more like a campground with lots of different groups in proximity. But everyone was kind and respectful, and the weekend was well worth it. I plan to go back sometime soon with my family!
