1 night at Peace Of Pisgah

The land was magical and provided such a relaxing atmosphere. There are trails and a pond along with the creek that runs throughout the space. The hosts are amazing people. Vicki provided lots of great info about the surrounding area. The campsite was well kept and manicured in such a thoughtful way! Arrival and departure were easy…although we were sad to leave!

1 night at Peace Of Pisgah

I loved glamping on Vicki's property. We booked site #2. It was very secluded and had a creek running by it. Vicki was amazing and showed us around her beautiful property! It was so nice that the tent had an additional covering so we could stay dry in the rain. The site had cots, sleeping bags, and even earplugs for sleeping. It was conveniently located 10 minutes from Brevard and close to so many beautiful hiking trails. Vicki sent us some of her recommendations! I will definitely come back here!

Weekend Trip to Private Yurt on a Farm with Creek

This is an amazing little yurt and campsite! Everything is very well thought out by farmer sprout and makes for a lovely little getaway. There is lots of misc camping equipment in the shed (so if you forget things like we did, you’re covered)! And the micro greens we added on were super yummy! We had such a pleasant weekend away watching fireflies and listening to the creek. 100/10 recommend!! Thank you farmer sprout!! As an aside, I was a little concerned about the compost toilet at first, but it was super easy to use and so much cleaner than any other campsite toilet I’ve ever used! Definitely don’t let that deter you!

Weekend Trip to Peace Of Pisgah

I just wrapped up a fun-filled weekend at Peace of Pisgah (Site 2). The location is great, minutes from the Pisgah Forest main entrance, as well as downtown Brevard. The layout with the sites is very accommodating and accessible, yet each site has plenty of privacy. The fact that the tent is just feet from a small flowing creek adds to the ambiance. Perhaps the most special thing about Peace of Pisgah are the owners. Vicki and her husband are genuinely nice people who went out of their way to ensure my visit was no less than stellar. The whole area, from the tent site to the shower and privy, are decorated with niceties from Vicki's artistic touch. Thanks for such a quiet and relaxing stay :)

2 nights at Private Yurt on a Farm with Creek

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 Love Our Soil Farms- on the River

Ronni & her husband Brian are amazing hosts! Their property is a beautiful reflection of their hard work and dedication to homesteading. If you enjoy being among the songs of wildlife and farm life then this is the place. Our tent at The Pond was a view of the beautiful forest caped with morning fog, their lovely elderly horse who grazed and their little pig who loved to sunbath. Unfortunately due to freezing temps we couldn’t use the shower but we made due with the hot stove and a large bowl we brought from home to do our morning wash up. They provided organic coffee beans with grinder, cutlery, cups, plates, cast iron pot, paper towels, 2 wash clothes/towels, soap, extra blankets, plenty of kindling, fire wood and fire extinguisher. The tent has lanterns, flashlight, and carbon monoxide detector (which should be inspected upon arrival to make sure it’s working properly) Their property is beautiful and do welcome you to explore safely with permission.

Weekend Trip to Private Yurt on a Farm with Creek

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.

Excellent campsite! Well equipped and very nice people.

Weekend Trip to Love Our Soil Farms- on the River

We only did a one-nighter on our way up to Virginia for the holiday, but we will be back! The farm was absolutely beautiful and the tour was a huge hit with our kids. Sleeping by the river was lovely, and the sky was great for stargazing. The yurt was very comfortable and well-stocked with cozy blankets and plenty of wood. The owners have big plans for hiking trails in the future, which will be a great addition as the hills are begging for exploration! We will definitely visit again in warmer weather to take advantage of the river and to see the piggies again!

Weekend Trip to Private Yurt on a Farm with Creek

What a great time unplugging from the world with my dog at this amazing camp! It was very well-stocked and there were very easy instructions for everything from the camp’s location to how to use the Ecoflow for lights! Location was pretty secluded, not too far from the road and it was cool to see the farm in front of the camp. My dog enjoyed the creek and the white noise from it was perfect for our sleep. Communication from the host was excellent! I bought some eggs and micro greens from them which was a nice add! Glad to hear they weren’t very affected by the hurricane and was happy to contribute what I could to the local economy.

Intrepid Acres

Welcome to our magical farm and forest retreat — a glamping getaway where nature and agriculture live side by side. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains between Asheville and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, our site offers the perfect balance of wild beauty and working-farm charm. We’re just 7 miles from the Max Patch trailhead — one of the most iconic and scenic bald hikes along the Appalachian Trail — and only 2 miles from Ferguson’s Supply, a beloved local general store and café for biscuits, burgers, or forgotten essentials. Wake up to birdsong and mountain air, but don’t be surprised if you also hear the baa of a sheep or catch a whiff of compost or fresh hay. This is a real farm, after all — complete with horses, mini cows, mini sheep, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, emus, livestock guardian dogs, and a cat. We grow, forage, and graze much of what we live on, and we love sharing that experience with guests who appreciate the rhythms of the land. Whether you're here to hike, relax, stargaze, or get your hands a little dirty, we invite you to slow down and enjoy the honest magic of this place.
