1 night at Cold Creek Farm

This property was absolutely fantastic! It is a little piece of heaven nestled I the foothills of South Mtn. The property offers peace, quiet and beauty with an amazing host that makes sure you're comfortable and taken care of. The property also hosts a slew of gorgeous animals including Highland cattle. The site is well-maintained, well stocked and provides you comfort away from home. Its far enough away from civilization to give you peace and quiet, but also close enough if you want to run and get a pizza or hit a local brewery. I will be staying again in the near future and recommend to any and everyone!

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

Amazing place. Great time with the family. Directions and information was spot on, and hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful.

My wife and I stayed in the treehouse for a few days following our wedding. It was the perfect oasis providing us beauty, tranquility, and a unique experience only living in a tree can provide. Every detail was well thought out and much was provided for the treehouse stay, even similar to a hotel. We so loved our time here and look forward to more stays in the future!

1 night at Starlight Hills

Beautiful property and well priced! Maintained well and the owner is super nice!

1 night at Starlight Hills

I've been camping for all 40 of my years on this planet and this was the best camping experience I've ever had. I'm usually the primative camping type but my GF along our dog and I were on a road trip from Minnesota and I wanted to find the best campsite with the best view of the mountains while we were down there, despite not having any of our gear with us. I'm absolutely convinced that we found it. Everything was easy to find when we showed up and we had the whole place to ourselves since it was a Monday into Tuesday. When we arrived our tent was unlocked and ready for us, and the firewood already stacked next to the pit. We literally got out of the car and went straight to the hammocks and enjoyed the view. I specifically booked the only clear-sky night of the week and was rewarded with one of the top 3 sunsets I've ever seen. Absolutely phenomenal. William eventually came to check on us and make sure we found anything, what a friendly guy!! We BS'd for a little bit while he played with our dog and I loved every second of it. It felt like such a privilege to be in such a beautiful place with an amazing host. William, we can't thank you enough! Definitely hope to make it back one day. My only regret is only staying for a single night. What an absolute gem.

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

Such a nice spot!! Campsite 1 is right by the sweetest creek with huge rhododendrons sprawling over! Had a really nice picnic table, and rock fire ring, and hammock! Ground was wood chips and grass! Hiking to the waterfall was fun! So was the cold plunge! Limited hiking, we did all the trails in one morning, but beautiful area! Great signs to let you know where things were, and outhouse was so nice to have!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

It was a great quiet place very enjoyable time with people not alot of insects either wasnt getting bitten alot or anything really just had a great time and honestly a great spot though the entrance at night is pretty difficult to see a little light on the sign or something might help lol

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

It was beautiful, had great amenities, and I felt very safe. However, the campsites were too close to each other.

Weekend Trip to Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora

We did an instant book and even though Brianna was out of town and had little service, she went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. It is such a beautiful spot and I definitely recommend getting the kayak or paddle board rental. The lake is gorgeous! Very dog friendly as well, would recommend bringing your pup along. So much to do in the area!

2 nights at Starlight Hills

Such a beautiful property and so well-designed! Even better than the photos convey. Each yurt, along with the cabin, offers its own gorgeous, unique view and level of separation from other sites. The tent sites probably offer the most privacy if that’s what you’re after. The vista from the picnic/BBQ area is also so beautiful and peaceful. The amount of work the owners have put into their campground is very evident, and I’m grateful they share it with the public. Less than a half hour to South Mountains state park which has begun its phased re-opening post-Helene (hooray!!). Definitely hope to return someday soon!

1 night at Starlight Hills

Great campground! I am come out for the meteor shower. Got scared about clouds by the night sky stayed clear for most of the night. I stahed at site 5 which was nice because it right across from the overlook.

Weekend Trip to Adin`s river cabin

I had a wonderful experience at Adin’s River Cabin. Met him at check in and he showed me around the cabin. Had some great suggestions for where to hike with my dog. The cabin was peaceful and very quiet. Adin made sure my visit was just what I needed. I got the chance to meet his lovely wife and I had a wonderful conversation with them as I was leaving. I will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Mike's country home and land

Incredible getaway: wooded trails, great fishing, peaceful canoe, beautiful views, and the best hospitality. We rented a golf cart to explore the land a bit more and that was a great addition to our trip. We did not want to leave and we cannot wait to come back! Thanks for everything Mike!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

This site was really nice a pretty spread out from the 3 other campsites. The space was big and we could really spread out. The dogs loved the shade! The host was super pleasant and checked in with us the first night we came in even with it being late.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

This is such a lovely place to camp. Our site was tucked away and quiet. We would definitely come back. Thanks for sharing your mountain views!

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

The cabins were awesome and everything is well maintained. Even though it’s near the highway, you feel secluded. Great owners too!

2 nights at Cold Spring Basecamp

My family had such a great time! We will for sure be going back. The open air cabins were such a cool concept and were so much easier than tent camping. The corn crib does not have any shades or curtains like the others so we felt a little on display when changing. Thankfully, it was not very busy so it wasn't a major deal this time around. We will probably just choose a different cabin next time for that reason.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

Good place to be Nice location, especially overlook area

5 nights at Starlight Hills

My family and I had a great experience at Starlight. Exactly as pictured. William is very attentive and met with us at our site shortly after we arrived to greet and give us some information about the grounds. While walking the grounds, you can really grasp the vision William has for Starlight as he is consistently expanding and improving the campground. It was our base for enjoying the area. From hiking Catawba Falls to adventures and rapids at the U.S. National Whitewater Center! Another great family vacation in the books!

Adin`s river cabin

1 site · Lodging10 acres · Casar, NC

My property consists of a ridge running east to west with the access road running along the south border. the land slopes up to the ridge for about 300 feet, and then down to the river for about 800 feet. The south side of the ridge has a small pond close to the road. The rest is pasture, and an orchard and small vineyard. The north side of the ridge is old growth timber, and shady and cool. The two cabins are along the river. One is perched on a ridge over looking the river and the other is right on the river. The swimming hole is 30 feet from the lower cabin. There is room for a couple campsites along the river also. The south side of the ridge was a cotton farm decades ago, but was covered in timber when I bought it 12 years ago. The north side has been in timber for the known history of the property.
