3 nights at Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

We stayed at this cabin at Holly Forest for a few nights over thanksgiving. The cabin held our little family (2 adults 2 young kids) well on the loft bed and the pull-out couch. The grounds are beautiful and we had a ton of fun at the basketball court and the field next to it. We cooked food in the provided toaster oven/air fryer but could have easily used the common area equipment too (grill, griddle pan, pizza oven). Hosts were responsive to our needs. Bathrooms were clean and close to our cabin. We would come back!

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

It was quite cold at night but we were given a space heater and the mattress had heating pads on both sides of the bed. The common areas had large space heaters and the showers gave us super nice hot water. It was so very cozy. We enjoyed fishing on their pond. The bathroom was so close to the lodge, we really didn’t need the golf cart they gave us, but it was fun to have anyways. They had huge jackery batteries that they made sure were full daily. This was genuinely a glamping experience. I loved it because we still definitely felt like we were “camping” just with high end amenities. We envisioned the entire space would be so perfect for any kind of weekend event just with all the different facilities within the sight. We stayed with our pups and they loved seeing the cows in the morning!! First time we took them camping and they did so great. We had a great stay :)

We stayed at the screen house for one night and wish we could have stayed another night. The screen house itself was top notch… secluded yet close to the main area, clean, well maintained, and cozy. Jim and Becky did a great job of adding conveniences to the experience with heated beds, battery for charging, lighting, cooler with ice, bathhouse, cooking area with seating, and more. There are a few different options for accommodations including glamping tent, screen houses, and a cute little cabin with a loft. This is a great place for a group. They can cook together and enjoy the community space, very cozy. We will be back.

I loved the little screen house "The Retreat" that my wife and I stayed in! It was amazingly beautiful from the clear roof to the full open concept. Don't get me wrong there were privacy and blackout curtains to draw for privacy lol. Jim and Becky and their family are just amazing, and so is the property. Everything is so easy and convenient not to mention your own golf cart to wonder around on and get back forth from your place to the bathroom's, and the gathering place. They have a bull that is a BBQ grill and the smoke comes out of the nose, a long with a pizza oven a gas grill and flat top at your disposal. They also have some items there that you can purchase like pizza kits and wood, ect. They also host events and weddings!! All of their rentals are spread out for privacy of each other.

The Lodge was fantastic. Rustic but comfortable. It was nestled in the woods and close to everything. The property is beautiful. There are plenty of views and things to do. The hosts have thought if everything. Battery packs provide power for phones, fans, etc. A filled ice chest was provided for us upon arrival. Complimentary water, coffee, and tea. A large area for parties, a charcoal grill (In a steer sculpture, lol), small gas grill, and a pizza oven! Outdoor games, basketball, horseshoe pits, cornhole... They even have bamboo fishing poles for the pond!

I loved “The Retreat” on Jim & Becky’s land. This site is like a “camping venue” I can envision a small wedding or a couples trip here. They have a gas grill if you don’t know how to charcoal grill and the shower gets really hot. I like how they also inform us if there are others staying anywhere else in any of the other cabins so it helped give others privacy and not explore “too far”.

What a hidden diamond in a heart of North Carolina! If you want to relax and re-energise, this place is for you! All cabins are well made to fit any need or taste! Glass cabins are the best! You sleep deep in a woods! Full emersion into the nature! Owners of the who farm are very thoughtful people! You can check out farm animals, go fishing or have a complimentary cup of coffe in a barn house equipped with great kitchen, self barbecue café, get a dozen of real farm fresh fresh eggs for breakfast! There is a nicely equipped bathrooms and shower rooms. Also, they have a gorgeous rustic Wedding venue, gorgeous pond for fishing. There are a nice golf carts to get around the farm, to bring your belongings to the house. Also, beautifully squired barbecue by each house, How about spending a night by a starry sky? The bottom line-the best retreat ever! Great management. And a great spot for any romantic event or family reunion! Come, bring your friends, family, and kids!
