We carved our 43 acre horse farm out of wild swampy land in 2007 and finished the barndeminium in 2008. We started with Hipcamp 6 years ago and enjoy meeting new people. My husband is retired from the Air Force and works full time doing the chores. I retired May 2024 from being a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner at Womack Army Medical Center. I have a side hobby making homemade jams, pickles and flavored goat cheese spreads. We love the peacefulness of where we live...although the weather chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, peacocks, goats and horses do get a little loud come feeding time. We have different sites, please read each description or message me before you book a stay. All the sites have an 8pm latest check in unless you've stayed with us before. With the cold snap we have been experiencing the RV water source will freeze up over night. Please message me before booking the RV. We are constantly looking for ways to upgrade or make our farm more fun to visit.

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.

Home Sweet Dome
17. Home Sweet Dome
32mi from Sanford · 1 site · Lodging
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.

Home Sweet Dome
17. Home Sweet Dome
32mi from Sanford · 1 site · Lodging
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.

Overall good, best if you can manage cold during winters. Carry some space heaters although they provide some. No activities in winter so plan for some.

We were four families who spent a weekend at Sugar Neck, and honestly, it was such a perfect escape. Having the entire place to ourselves made it feel extra special — it’s an amazing setup for a group getaway.
The tents are beautiful, super comfortable, and the bathrooms are neat, private, and way nicer than you’d expect for glamping. We couldn’t have asked for more. In fact, we loved it so much we’ve already booked another weekend for next week!
The host was excellent at communicating and made everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Sugar Neck for anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy, group-friendly glamping spot.

Weekend Trip to The Homestead At Little Creek
As a first time solo glamper, this exceeded my expectations. I was greeted by the Megan, her husband, and their dog Myra. Traveling alone can be scary, but Myra was near me all night. She also walked me to the bathroom each time I went. The tent had a heater, as well as a fireplace in the glamping area that I used. In the morning, I got to meet all of the wonderful animals on the farm. With this location being only 30 minutes from Dix park, it’s the perfect place to crash after seeing Thomas Dambo’s trolls! Great for a group camping trip, but I loved doing it solo.

I would say my review is somewhere between great and OK. What was great was that the bus was fun and funky, sweet and well-designed, and clean. The kitchen was laid out to have good working and eating space for 2. The shower was very nice. The composting toilet was clean and easy to use. We especially loved the view out of the passenger side of the bus -- great little firepit/chairs, and beautiful woods. We were surprised when we walked down to the stream to find HUGE rock formations and boulders and we had a blast playing on those.
The "okay" part is that the property on the other side of the bus is a bit shabby. Once you get there, you can totally ignore that, but when you drive in it doesn't look as inviting as it really is.

Weekend Trip to Cool Creek Farm
I rented the Hipcamp loft in the barn but actually brought my camper van and Melissa was so gracious to let me park it by the barn. Her property is outstanding and it was a real pleasure to stay there near the music venue I attended. It was like being at a retreat . . . so peaceful! The animals were very entertaining. She has horses, goats, chickens, and barn cats, The one drawback for me was the Wifi situation. There isn't any, and the signal wasn't strong enough for me to be able to access emails or send messages. It wouldn't matter except I run a business and need to be n touch with clients. All in all, a wonderful Hipcamp experience.

3 nights at House at the End of the Block
The site matched its description, which I always appreciate. It was what I wanted, clean and safe. Carter communicated well and was hospitable. It is an urban setting, so if you want country quiet, this is not your site. I also think a tall person would struggle in the space. But for my needs, it was great

1 night at Ancient Spring Farm
The Ancient Springs Farm glamp site is a sweet marvel! The Tobacco Pack House is real rustic charm, it was so lovely sleeping in a comfy bed right next to masses of flowers and in sight of the stars. Rebecca is a wonderful host, caring and generous while respecting privacy. We loved the farm tour; Rebecca is also an inspiring caretaker of the land, sharing great information about the land, animals, plants and gardens. The farm breakfast and other extras were a rare treat. Looking forward to returning!
