Sebastian Springs Retreat

We bought this amazing 2.5 acre wooded land with a spring and creek on it from our friends who already had a huge healing impact on the land. This land is quiet, it is in a neighborhood and back up to a cow farm.  Everyone keeps to themselfs,  we have three other rentals on the property to share community areas. 

Across from your campsite you have a nice table and chairs under a canopy

The Henhouse on BeulahLand Farm

I have lived here at Beulah Land for thirty five years. My husband and I moved here in 1987 to pursue a slower more purposeful form of life with our four young sons and my 97year old Grandma. In the ensuing years, after Grandma passed away, we took care of my Mom for five years. I had always wanted to live on a farm, so over those decades, we raised and cared for flocks of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, a milk cow, meat cows, sheep, goats, pigs, bunnies, ferrets, iguanas, lovebirds, cockatiels and just about every other kind of animal you can keep as a pet!  We have a lot of wonderful memories of that life, but thirty five years later, things are very different. 

My ex husband  and I are happily divorced and best of friends- he sometimes rents a room in the summer to get away from the heat of the Southern California desert! He runs a hostel in Slab City from September to May and also rents out spaces on Airbnb! You will know him if he’s around by his big white beard. He looks like Santa Claus. He’s a good egg.

My farm has about an acre of level land and another acre of hillside.  The Henhouse campsite is situated up against the hill where there is a pretty rocky cliff overhang.  It is located about twenty five or  thirty yards from Brushy Fork Creek which runs the length of my property.  It is a shallow creek, not much more than a few feet deep in any spot, but fun for creek walking.  I cannot promise you will not see a water snake from time to time but I have never seen a poisonous snake on this property in thirty five years years.  

When you come across the bridge onto Beulah Land Lane (my driveway) you are on a long concrete drive that runs all the way down to my house which is at the end of the driveway.  I have tried to include accurate pictures to depict the location because I don't want anyone to be disappointed- There is no big red barn with a silo- there used to be a barn, but it fell down one winter afternoon with a crash under the weight of a big snow, But that’s another story. The campsite is actually on the spot where the barn used to be.  There are no farm animals or crops of anything but flowers. :-) 
There are no fields of wheat or hay, except across the creek on a five acre strip of land which is between the creek and Highway 421.  You might see a tractor over there, ploughing up the field in the spring for hay or field corn.  

You can hear cars on the highway but at night its pretty quiet.  I do provide ear plugs for anyone who needs them! We used to build dams all along the creek to make it sing at night.  You are welcome to do the same. There will be no hayrides in the fall. (though I do know an awesome place you can go for one) 

Now, I live here with a few good folks who share the space with us.  It is a serene and quiet spot in a lovely valley.  The campsite is built around the former outbuildings which have been repurposed, so it is not in the woods.  Depending on the weather, it might be warm in the tent during the day, but the Henhouse is shady and almost always a breeze blowing.  

We have a two story Guest House between my house and the Henhouse.  It has two small apartments in it.   Neither one of them are worried about a little noise at the campsite.  As a matter of fact they both love to play for my guests from time to time- John builds banjos and plays several instruments! His style is primitive bluegrass and he’s been known to break out the instruments for a jug band so everyone can play along! Sam is an eclectic  “crooner” who I believe should have a world stage and also plays several instruments! He works at a nearby winery where he plays music and also is a Somalier.  If you let me know ahead of time, they really do try to accommodate coming out and singing a few songs around the bonfire with you. Tips are more than welcome.

If you look through the pictures, I hope you can get a good idea of what to expect.  If you need something you are more than welcome to come up to the main house.  I usually do a walkabout in the morning with my coffee so if you're up, I'll probably check on ya. I hope I have presented a clear and accurate description here of what to expect!Learn more about this land:Back when my four boys were growing up, Beulah Land was a working farm where we home schooled and raised a big garden to feed our four hungry boys. as well as edible flowers and herbs to sell to local restaurants. We had every kind of farm animal we could get our hands on: horses, a milk cow, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, sheep, bunnies and a veritable zoo inside the house!  Now the boys are gone and as things in life tend to do, my little farm has evolved. 

What you will find these days is a serene place of rest on the banks of Brushy Fork Creek just five miles north of Boone, The Henhouse at Beulah Land Farm- GLAMPING at its best! 

A safe private campsite- you are the only campers! We have two wonderful musicians who live in my little guest house- they often do impromptu concerts for us! 

A very DIFFERENT vacation experience awaits you at The Henhouse at Beulah Land Farm. As you arrive you will find your own little wonderland at The Henhouse- I live at the other end of the property in a hundred year old farmhouse. 

Walk through the arbor past your picket fence and survey your 
sweet little campsite.  It is a self contained area set up against a cliffside on Beulah Land Farm with a seventeen by seventeen foot army tent, a private outdoor shower and best of all, your own Henhouse Outdoor Kitchen!  The whole campsite is strung with fairy lights which create a charming ambience in the evenings And my guests love coming home to it all lit up after a long day of sightseeing or tubing or playing in the mountains.

The Henhouse is literally our eighty year old chicken house- which has been remodeled and repurposed as an open air outdoor kitchen.  It is completely outfitted with everything you could possibly need in the way of dishes, pots and pans, utensils and even staples for making PANCAKES on your own camp stove. You are also provided with a large cooler for food .  For clean up, you will find a basket of dish towels and a dish rack to use when you finish washing your dishes in the big galvanized tub which sets just a few feet away, under the pump faucet. 

At night, the Henhouse is well lit with strands of Edison bulbs which cast a rosy glow that is bright enough to play games. You might want to set up the old croquet set and play like they used to back in the nineteen twenties!  When I researched the history of my home, I was told that it was a community gathering place.  The neighbors used to come down here after church in carriages and the ladies in their long dresses would stroll around the lawn and play croquet.  

Your tent Is covered with a 20 by 30 foot tarp that allows you to keep the windows open rain or shine.  It has a super comfy queensized bed made up with soft cotton sheets and blankets. 
A second bed can be set up for parties of four. You will  appreciate the power strip for recharging your phones and computers and the box fans!  
 Several lamps inside the tent create a nice ambience at night.  

Being in the valley, there is usually a breeze and even the warmest days almost always end in cool mountain evenings. Fall weather can be chilly- it’s hard to predict because sometimes it can be warm,  but there are piles of blankets to keep you warm and cozy! Please take time to check the weather before you come and pack accordingly! 

For your outdoor showering pleasure, enjoy our  Pig Pen shower. Thats right.  I said Pig Pen.  Back in the days I was homeschooling my four sons, our first pig pens were EPIC FAILS!  We would be doing school on the couch and hear “Snort Snort” and there would be our two pigs looking in at us with their feet on the window sill.  So, finally, we built a concrete pig pen!  Much to the boys disappointment, they never came calling again. At the time we were studying the legends  of King Arthur.  So we decided to name all the pigs after the knights of the round table.  Naturally, we called the pig pen, “Hamelot".  Well, like the Henhouse, Hamelot has now been repurposed!  Silly Hand painted pigs in the shower enclosure will remind you of Beulah Land’s bygone days.  Step out of the shower into your own private fenced in enclosure with it’s little garden of flowers and tomatoes!  Help yourself!

In the back of camp there’s a private porta potty for your use.

Behind the Pig Pen is the old Horse Shed.  We built this for our old pony, Buck, to get away from the wind and the snow during one of our iciest winters.  And do you know what he did?  He went up to the top of the hill and stood there with his head down leaning into the wind!!  Eventually he did grow to appreciate his little house, and spent quite a bit of time in the old shed.  His bit and bridle still hang there.
It now functions as a woodshed to keep your firewood nice and dry.

Some other amenities of the Henhouse at Beulah Land include a croquet set, a big  bonfire ring and Brushy Fork Creek which runs the entire length of our property- it is a lovely shallow tumbling creek.  

I have made every effort to create a completely outfitted, serene space for you to find  not only an inexpensive SAFE and easy “glamping”  vacation in a lovely sustainable environment, but a place of rest and peace.  Come to the mountains and find your “quiet” again!.

Babbling Brook Campground

Before the Kerr Scott Reservoir was built, in the 40's and 50's, this neighborhood was a local swimming hole and vacation area. Public buses  came from neighboring communities so people could boat, swim, camp, and picnic. 

While we don't have access to the pond, our part of this land still is calling out to people, 'Come,  rest, unload your burdens, and find peace.'  

When we started this project with Hipcamp, we didn't fully realize that we were reconnecting with the history on this property. So, come, take your shoes off, and wade in the creek.  Read a book while laying in a hammock. Sit by the fire and chat with family and friends. 

Come and participate in our little homesteading project, and leave your burdens behind.

The Sacred Path

This land was purchased by my parents over 55 years ago. At the time is was a 48 acre farm. It belonged to a bootlegger. I was just seven years old when we came to live here on the "farm" as I have called it all my life. It was loved by family until my fathers' passing 5 years ago. My husband Terry and I came back to the farm to be with my father in his final years. Terry and I have continued  loving and caring for the land. This property backs to a 200 acre nature reserve and 600 acres of natural forest. It has a 30 foot creekside overlook and a beachfront at the creek. The is lots of nature to be heard and seen. We have resident foxes, a blue heron that frequents the pond, egrets, kingfisher, a bobcat, raccoons, crows, birds, fireflies, and (bear were seen last fall). It is beautiful land with rolling hills and horses grazing in the pastures.Learn more about this land:Come and pitch your tent in our park like setting by the pond and springs. You will feel the sacred breeze kiss your face and you will be re-energized, your energy restored and re-charged. This is a very special and sacred ground, if you allow it, you will feel the energy shift the moment you step foot onto the grounds. we welcome you to come stay, relax and visit or just retreat into meditation. Sherri is an energy worker.

Seven, very calm and beautiful horses here on the farm.


Wonderlust Acres

The farmhouse served as Benjamin’s primary residence for six years, providing a never-ending source of inspiration and peace that most folks only experience a handful times in their life. In 2011, Benjamin moved to Boone and began leasing the farmhouse as a vacation rental.In 2018, he purchased the adjacent five acres (that he could not afford in 2004) and began to reclaim the land and creek from the scrubby, thorny growth that had settled on the dormant property.While the property transformed before his eyes, Benjamin felt as if he was discovering this place for the very first time. As he reveled in the excitement and pleasant exhaustion of working with the land, he became increasingly convinced that this special place was meant to be shared. Thus, the concept of Wonderlust Acres as a gathering place was born.More than a business, Wonderlust Acres is an expression of Benajmin’s appreciation for the spirit of the mountains and the endearing communities that they envelop. With the opening of Wonderlust Acres, Benjamin invites you to experience the enchantment for yourself.Learn more about this land:Located just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and just 30 minutes from Boone/West Jefferson/Wilkesboro, and nestled in a private, open-meadowed valley overlooking a noisy trout stream and large ponds, the timber frame barn is a 3800 sqft wedding venue with the 2 changing rooms which have been converted to 2 glamping rooms. Both are locked off from the main barn structure to allow use when no events are scheduled, and have separate private keyed access, and include streaming TV, a 2-top burner, mini-fridge, and fold-down small full sofa bed for 2 (larger people may need to bring a blow-up mattress/pad for more room to spread out!). There is a men's and women's bathroom with 2 stalls joining the barn and accessed from the outside, along with 2 outdoor showers for longer stays. Propane, on-demand hot water is provided. The other structure that can be rented is the pond pavilion (an additional guest fee is charged over 4 people to accommodate) that features 2 full-size outdoor mattresses, a camping stove, chairs, and large firepit and firecircle. There are picnic tables also on site for use. This is truly luxury camping.
