My farm had been untouched for years and only used as hay farming. It is rolling hills known by the locals as "Butterfly Hill" Which the farm is home to many species of butterflies in the summer. I know the area was inhabited by native Americans many decades ago. I have found a few broken arrow heads over the years. The farm is beautiful and quiet. I have a beautiful hiking trail around the property for you to take your fur babies on. The cabin is right on a beautiful stream too. There are several state parks nearby and river tubing within 10 -30 minutes. Hot showers and potable water just a few feet away.

Our farm is a beautiful, private 25 acres with an 1830s house, outbuildings, animals, orchards, gardens, pastures, old trees, wildlife habitat, a spring, and woods. Here you can relax; watch nature; meet our chickens, goats, horse, cats, and dog; take guided tours to learn about the farm, animals, plants, archaeology, and history or learn to make mead; and purchase eggs and homegrown seasonal food and products. Listen to birdsong and watch clouds during the day, wander a path through our 5 acres of woods, see fireflies in the evening, and star watch at night. Nearby are hiking, horseback riding, historical sites, fishing, antiques, breweries, shooting, and more.
We are located in a rural area and have many different domesticated and wild animals so you may hear diverse animal noises and see or smell animal poop, although we try to keep things clean and tidy. Our neighbors have dogs, cattle, and chickens/roosters and occasionally shoot guns during daylight hours (one neighbor is a sporting club with skeet shooting and hunting dogs) but typically our farm is a quiet and peaceful place. We mow regularly and our rooster and chicken ladies wander far and wide eating bugs but, in the summer, they can't get every mosquito and tick so please plan accordingly for your own comfort.

I purchased a 1960's ranch home and 4 acres over 5 years ago. I turned the home into The Fab 4 House, furnishing it with authentic Mid-century Modern furniture and naming each bedroom for 1 of the Beatles. I rent it out and it is great for events. However, I needed 1 bedroom accommodations so I purchased 3- 8'x40' shipping containers and turned them into tiny homes. You can rent 1 or all 3. The courtyard in the middle features a Tiki Bar, Beach Scene, Putting Green. I want people to enjoy the in and outside together.

Home Sweet Dome
20. Home Sweet Dome
39mi from Ruffin · 1 site
Welcome to Home Sweet Dome, a one of a kind geodesic retreat tucked into five wooded acres where nature, design, and calm coexist beautifully. This is not just a place to sleep. It is a place to exhale.
Originally built in the 1970s and thoughtfully restored, the dome blends architectural character with modern comfort. The circular design creates a sense of flow and ease that guests often say they feel the moment they step inside. Sunlight moves differently here. Sound softens. Time slows.
Inside, you will find a warm, welcoming interior with comfortable furnishings, curated details, and everything you need to feel at home. Large windows bring the forest in, while the open layout makes the space feel both cozy and expansive. Every corner has been considered with intention, from restful sleeping areas to spaces meant for conversation, reading, or simply doing nothing at all.
Step outside and the experience deepens. Wander the wooded property, enjoy morning coffee surrounded by trees, or unwind in the evening under the stars. The outdoor spaces are designed to invite connection with nature without sacrificing comfort. It is peaceful, private, and deeply grounding.
One of the most loved features of the property is the sense of seclusion paired with convenience. You feel far away from it all, yet you are only minutes from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough. Nearby you will find charming downtowns, local restaurants, coffee shops, farms, vineyards, scenic biking roads, and some of the best small town ice cream you will ever taste.
Home Sweet Dome is ideal for couples, solo travelers, creatives, nature lovers, and anyone craving something different from the ordinary. Guests come here to reset, reconnect, celebrate quietly, or simply experience a space that feels special and memorable.
We hope your stay is more than comfortable. We hope it becomes part of your story.

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at Shirley’s place and we loved it both times! The cabin is very well equipped with anything you need cook and we love the rustic charm of the entire place. The pool was clean and refreshing. The screened porch was perfect for coffee in the mornings and scrabble in the afternoons. The stars were incredibly bright and the sunrises were amazing as always! Our dogs also loved being able to run around and explore :). We can’t recommend this hip camp enough!

I took my first solo camping trip here and I couldn’t have picked a better spot. I over prepared, as Wendy had everything I needed to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. Truly a one of a kind property. I also took some time to do an impromptu tubing session as suggested by her, and had a BLAST. I hope to be back soon!

The travel trailer was spacious and comfortable. It is parked next to a driveway. So, expect family and neighborhood activity during your stay. The nearby stream was a great place to chill and relax. Trails and parks are nearby as well as a quick drive to Starbucks. My only complaint is that the Hipcamp listing needs updated.

One of our favorite Hipcamps to-date! Only a one-night stay, but everything was PERFECT! Listing is exactly as pictured. Cute tiny home with comfortable bed and electricity was a plus (even provided a space heater for chilly nights). Bathroom was spotless and had an amazing shower. Felt very private, despite other campers being on the property. Host was friendly and proactive about providing all the information we needed for our stay. Highly recommend this spot; would gladly stay again (and hopefully longer next time!).

Weekend Trip to Container Experience
As far as glamping goes, this is as nice as it gets. It felt more like an Airbnb, with the whole container being painted, decorated, and inclusive of bedding and towels. I had always wondered what it was like to stay in a converted shipping container and it felt very normal, and maybe a step up from a cabin. It's a good spot for a sleep and shower for a day or two, especially if you're looking to visit things in the local area. You'll hear the road a bit and dogs when people bring them, but it really is a good value. The bathroom has the light and fan on the same switch and the fan gets pretty loud. The water pressure is high, and you'll want to bring toiletries, but you get a hand towel, wash clothes and towels. Like others mentioned, the bed is really comfortable.
