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.

Had a blast staying in this tiny cabin! Super private and peaceful and had lots of room for our pup to run around. The creek nearby is super fun to explore. We were even visited by a very sweet horse that lives on the property! Will definitely be booking again.

I loved staying here. It was quiet and peaceful. There was a creek close by that created the most beautiful sound! There were horses, wild flowers, and the cutest farm dog. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comforting mountain getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The place was beautiful, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing time. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made our experience even better. One of the highlights was the creek right next to the property—it added such a peaceful and special touch to the stay. Highly recommended!

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

Such a a Cool spot! Adil provided So many awesome helpful ways to ease the stay including chairs, hammock, grill, camping and fire supplies! The hike to tent from car parking was tough on my 4 year old but the tent was super secluded and peaceful so hence the walk. We tried to fish in the pond-caught a sunny first cast then nothing else but property is beautiful and if kids were more patient we could have fished longer. Cutting down some spots along water would be helpful for fishing. Had a great stay! Thanks again!

We loved staying here! Connie and Ashley were so welcoming and made our stay a delight. The Wagon was being remodeled so they moved us to Pondside which was so cute and comfy to stay in. What a beautiful farm, so glad they are sharing it. Can’t wait to come back!

The Barrel has an awesome view inside that window inside is amazing. As well as view from the hot tub and chairs outside. Only thing I would add is a grill or something to cook on other than that everything was perfect.

Weekend Trip to Rocky Face Camp

I most appreciated the peacefulness and tranquility of being surrounded by nature. It was so nice to only hear the creek next door and see no one other than a deer and rabbit. Everything was thought of and provided and the entire place was clean and comfortable - even the porta-potty! Can’t wait to go back for another retreat! The accommodations were exactly as described, the grill was great, and the whole experience was just lovely. Favorite thing was listening to the rain on the metal porch roof laying in the hammock with my dog 💖

Gorgeous tiny house and property! We were 3 violinists touring with a Symphony Orchestra, and stayed at the tiny house for 2 nights between concerts. We fell in love with it! The nature around is absolutely beautiful and the view of the stars at night is so clear! Everything we needed was there: BBQ, microwave, pan, utensils, mugs, even a hammock! The double bed and the extra cot Natalie brought for us were very comfortable. The temperature in the house was perfect. Everything is very clean and well taken care of. Natalie is a wonderful host who takes great care of her guests and replies very quickly to messages.

Had such an amazing time on our recent gambling trip! The wagon tent made the journey itself feel special – it had everything we needed: comfy air conditioning, a handy fridge, and cozy lights that made the space feel so warm and inviting. The view along the way was stunning too – rolling hills, and plenty of photo-worthy moments.

It was beautiful and accurate to the description. Definitely allowed us to connect with nature while still having some comforts. The only things that we can complain about is that tent 1 has a broken zipper along half of the entire length of the entrance. This can be a safety issue as well as allowing bugs in. Also, only half the string lights worked, and the ones that did flashed constantly the entire night, illuminating the tent even with the window flaps closed. These are two minor fixes that could make the place not only a better, safer stay, but a 10 out of 10 in our opinion.

We had a great time staying here. The space was quaint and peaceful, it had all the basic needs. I was surprised at the comforts it offered in such a small space for cooking and relaxing. The stream was peaceful, and the stars at night were absolutely amazing.

Had a wonderful stay over 4th of July weekend at Rugby Creek, just a stone's throw from Grayson Highlands. Lodged in the "Neighbor" trailer at the top of the hill, cozy and private with a lovely overlook of the property. Owners are kind and accommodating; I highly recommend scheduling a tour of the property to meet all the animals and learn their stories, including the famous Fabio and Sadie, the sweetest mini donkey ever. All of the residents are clearly very happy and well cared for, and I basically had a private petting zoo all weekend. Would love to go back!

Weekend Trip to Greener Acres

The property was lovely and had great views. It was very close to the Roan Mountain State Park. Everything was very clean and well thought out. They even provided individual s'mores kits for the kids. The hosts let us use their tackle box and fishing poles for their well-stocked pond. It rained a lot but we had no issues with the tent leaking or any trouble getting up the mountain with the gator. Would definitely recommend staying here for a stress-free get away!

Camping here was such a delight! Brian was very helpful with any questions or concerns. Loved all the wonderful amenities. Hearing the creek run while looking out at North Carolina is so peaceful! Having access to the gator was not only extremely helpful but SO fun to drive up!

This place has it all. I really over packed. Than let's get to the part why you book this, to gather for family/friend fun in a Peaceful location. Well this is it with all the bells and whistles of "GLAMPING" and all the Mother Nature add-ons that only God can create. What a little slice of heaven to just get away from it all and enjoy my kids! I was so very thankful for this. Not one thing disappointed.
