The Farm was originally named 2nd 4o by my parents. They planned to live the 2nd forty years of their lives together on the farm. My parents both grew up on the southside of Chicago - where having a tree in your yard meant that you had "made it". They decided to use the land to grow Christmas trees. This did not last long :) but the saplings my dad planted by hand are still here & maybe 70' tall!
Then my husband & I bought The Farm in 2017 for the 2nd forty years of our life & my parents built their little house right here. My husband and I immediately knew that our dream was to grow a different kind of "tree", so in 2019 we were among the first group to receive our license to grow hemp. We are passionate about both the hemp and cannabis plants!
In 2020 when it finally became legal to grow cannabis, we immediately added that to our garden as well and 2nd 40 to 420 was born, or shall I say planted. We currently rent out our 2 RV's 3 Yurts & primitive sites , we also offer group bookings & Canna-friendly B&B options. We plan to add septic & electric hook-ups for RV's in the near future.
Come join us in Growing our Dreams!

Welcome to our charming earthbound retreat nestled in the foothills of Virginia’s mountains!
Before booking, please carefully review the full house description and rules. By confirming your reservation, you acknowledge and accept the property and its features as they are. Please note, our solar panels may sometimes be unreliable, especially with high energy usage. The backup generator is there for that reason, and we do not offer discounts if it is needed during your stay.
🌿 Nature immersion Located in a peaceful rural setting, our house offers a truly immersive experience in nature. Enjoy the rustic charm of the handcrafted round door, but be mindful that bugs may enter more easily due to the design.
🌞 Off‑grid living We want your stay to be enjoyable and memorable, so please come prepared for a natural, off‑grid experience. Refunds will not be provided if the generator needs to be used.
🏡 Unique design Step into an enchanting world of imagination with a stay in our cozy house, featured on Building Off the Grid (Season 13, Episode 3: Virginia Underground Home). The tiny house includes a Murphy desk hideaway bed (queen size), a dining nook, and a charming bathroom with a large copper soaking tub. Our dining area is a cozy, minimalist space designed for simple meals. We do not have a mini‑refrigerator at this time, so please bring a cooler if needed. While we do provide a stovetop, please note that it may occasionally cause slight fluctuations in the electricity. We recommend treating this as a camping‑style experience by bringing non‑perishable items or exploring the delicious takeout options available in nearby Scottsville. Every corner is filled with whimsical touches.
🌎 Eco‑friendly escape Completely off the grid, our eco‑friendly home runs on solar power and a well septic system. We encourage guests to disconnect from the outside world—there’s no TV or Wi‑Fi—so you can fully embrace the natural surroundings. The property spans nearly 24 acres, with some hiking trails started and future plans for gardens and archery targets.
⛺ Extra options If you are interested in a stay at the underground home but have a larger family or group of friends, we are permitted to allow tent camping, including dry campers, on the property as well.

Whisper Creek was founded in 1999. It has been the gathering place for many great friends and camping adventures. WC can hardly be camping, more like Glamping!
This is a very private and quiet location. You can settle in knowing that this listing includes a covered picnic area. Which has counter space for food prep and cooking that includes a small sink.
But remember, it’s camping so you’ll need to come prepared with a camp stove for cooking, although I do have charcoal and propane grill’s at the picnic area.
Fire pit for awesome evening camp fires with free split firewood on hand. All I ask is that you burn it like you split and stacked it.
You can gather and relax under the covered picnic area for dinner preparation and/or lounging. We are located within an hour from Wintergreen, numerous wineries, craft beer locations and numerous hiking destinations.
Harmony Hut has fresh linens but please bring sleeping bags and/or sheets for the screened in bunkhouse.
River access to the James River is a short drive to Howardsville. There you will also find a General Store which offers you the basics, such as Beer, Wine, Ice and a few grocery items. They make the best homemade sandwiches and grilled burgers. Direct river access can be provided via special request. I can also provide shuttling services. But this needs to be mentioned well before your stay as I don't live up there year around.

The cabin is located on an old apple orchard and budding homestead. It is off-grid and powered by solar. It is a short walk from the parking area (75 steps uphill). The cabin is one room with a kitchenette, hot outdoor shower, and outdoor compost toilet. The cabin can sleep up to three people with a queen bed, futon, and pullout couch. The kitchen includes a gas range, mini fridge, a sink with running water, and basic kitchen cook wear. A propane heater is available for extra warmth on a chilly night.

The hot outdoor shower and compost toilet are 25 steps from the front door tucked into the tree line. The pond sits in front of the cabin, a picnic table sets by the edge.
We love living simply, and immersed in nature, and have designed the space for others who also share this passion. We often see deer, turkey, bear, fox, and coyote. Maybe you will too! You will love reading your book by the pond while listening to the frog chorus, and taking your evening shower while gazing upon the ancient oaks.
Our location is 15 minutes from the Appalachian Trail and James River access. The Jefferson Washington National Forest is nearby and offers opportunities for visiting waterfalls, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and paddling. Downtown Lynchburg is 20 minutes away with great restaurants, farmers markets and shopping.

3 nights at Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest
The site was breath taking, the amenities provided were everything and more! Everything was carefully thought out! It truly is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy homesteading life! My hubby and I celebrated our 25th anniversary there, and I would not have traded it for a different trip! It was what I needed in a time of mourning the loss of my father in February! Life is always noisy but this place has a way of quieting everything around you and really allowing us to it all in!

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest
We loved our stay so much! What a gem of a place. A few families brought our little city girls here for the weekend. I'm pretty sure they made memories to last a life time. The golf carts really elevated the experience of glamping and the littles absolutely loved them! They fed the cows, played pickleball/basketball and played for hours despite the heat.
Jim and Becky really dialed the whole experience in with all the little details. The pizza oven, the coffee/tea that are readily accessible any time of the day. The giant mist fan in the Gathering place came in clutch in 90 degree temps.
Each unit was a little dream escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The beds were incredibly comfortable. It was a hot weekend but we slept wonderfully with the help of the fans in each cabin.
The bathhouse is brand new and very clean but has a rustic vibe.
The Gathering Place was where our crew spent the most time. We prepared meals there, created art there, watched the Hurricanes play on our laptop and chatted for hours.
10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to come back. A very special place.
Thank you for the hospitality Jim and Becky!

Wow. What a beautiful place. Jim and Becky were welcoming and gracious hosts. Becky met us upon arrival and gave us an overview of the extensive amenities. The "lodge" was lovely and a perfect sleeping temperature for us in late May without using any of the fans, etc. We enjoyed playing pickle ball for the first time on the camp's court and hanging out at the "gathering" afterwards. It would be a perfect place for families with children. Our only regret is that we only stayed one night during a long road trip - we would've loved to stay the full weekend. Thanks, Becky and Jim for sharing this place with us!

We fully enjoyed our 3 night stay at Rocky Run Cabin. Very private location tucked into the woods with great access to the Tye River. I managed to catch a few panfish a found some spectacular souvenir rocks among the gravels. Birding was eventful and we added a few new birds to our list, Summer Tanager, Indigo Bunting, and Eastern Phobe. The large screened in porch came in handy on the rainy days, super peaceful and quiet. Hope to stay again and Thank you.

It was such an amazing space. We stayed in the trailer and could hear the animals and see a million stars. As someone who's dreamed of her own eventual farm, meeting the donkeys was the best!!
Great to have a cozy and clean place to stay. The only drawback was the actual bedroom. The main had a small bed and no dresser or anything to put stuff on and one small nightstand. Nothing that would stop me from coming back though!

This place is an absolute GEM! I was expecting a small cabin but was greatly surprised! Spacious screened in porch, full bathroom with shower and a kitchen that had everything we needed. The beach area was clean and peaceful; definitely recommend having 4-wheel drive coming up the road. Our large dogs (60lbs & 40lbs) were comfortable, plenty of room to walk them.
