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.

Beautiful acreage with new and very clean cabins, glamping and amenities. Showers and bathrooms were clean and very nicely designed. Outdoor gathering area had tables, chairs, coffee, tea, water, a small fridge, string lights at night, and even a record player with a bunch of albums to choose from! Hosts offered fresh eggs, fresh pizza dough, or frozen pizzas, firewood, bug spray, lighter fluid. There is a gas grill, pizza oven and griddle all in the cooking area adjoining the gathering area. Property is private, quiet, and the glamping tent we stayed in was perfect! Bed was comfortable, even had a heated mattress cover if it got chilly. Towels were provided and all bed linens (quality was top notch)! It was a lovely experience. We hope to return!

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.

Oak Grove Retreat is truly a special place!!! I feel a profound sense of happiness and tranquility when I am there. The hosts consistently provide friendly service and create a welcoming atmosphere. The grounds are always well maintained, featuring beautiful moss covered trails, seasonal gardens and a lush forest.

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”.

This was a great experience. I needed to get away and be one with nature and this was perfect. The accommodations were wonderful and everything was right where I needed to be with the privacy I needed. I was able to reset myself and find the calm that only exists in a natural beautiful setting. I was so relaxed and able to truly find my joy and peace. The cabin being screened in helped keep out the critters and let the nature vibes in. I would highly recommend this place to reconnect with Nature and find your inner peace.

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

So much love, creativity, and care has gone into building this very special place to stay, rest and play. I stopped for just one night on my way from Fl to upstate NY, and had a magical and restorative night's sleep in one of the unique and lovely screen houses. Lightning bugs all around, illuminating the forest, and I was sung to sleep by crickets and tree frogs. A battery-powered ceiling fan kept the air moving and everything was nice and clean and fresh and inviting. Lots of thoughtful and clever touches, impressive construction and spacious, considerate setup. the bathroom, showers, and parking are a bit of a walk so each dwelling comes with a golf cart that you can use the whole time you're there. They've just opened in May so everything is brand new. I enjoyed and appreciated it immensely, and will come back any chance I get. I can only imagine what will go into maintaining a place like this, and I hope that they can keep it going and that future guests will get to enjoy it and also have respect for what a special place it is. I guess Jim & Becky have built it with their own family gatherings in mind, and there is definitely that sense of embracing, welcoming hospitality and generosity about it. It's a very beautiful piece of property and it looks like they might be equipped for events such as weddings, which would make sense there. Thanks to Jim & Becky for sharing this special place!
