Tucked into a quiet corner of our working farm called Heritage Farm, Holly Forest offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to shared amenities. Guests have access to water, electricity, and our centrally located Bathhouse, which includes showers, restrooms, and parking. Each day, we provide battery boxes for running a fan or charging small electronics.
Heritage Farm is rooted in natural, sustainable practices and hands-on learning experiences. Depending on the season, you may find the farm bustling with activity—especially during flower season as we cultivate our blooms for Cultivate Flower Co., or while we care for our animals and craft small-batch products like our Kinda Crunchy Goat Milk Soap.
No matter the time of year, you'll see us tending to the land and the animals we love.

Hidden Cabin on 5 Private Acres in the Virginia Woods:
Tucked deep into the forest, this cozy cabin sits on five secluded acres—offering complete privacy, quiet, and space to slow down. No neighbors in sight, just trees, wildlife, and the kind of stillness you don’t realize you’ve been missing.
Sleeping Setup
Loft: Queen bed with treetop views and a private balcony
Living area: Queen sleeper daybed sofa
Comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests
Outdoor Living
Covered gazebo with a relaxed outdoor dining area
Smoker BBQ grill for slow, laid-back meals
Open space to roam, unwind, and enjoy the natural surroundings
The Experience
This isn’t a typical stay—it’s your own pocket of forest.
Mornings start with soft light through the trees and the quiet movement of wildlife. Coffee tastes better out here, especially on the balcony with nothing but woods in view. Spend your day exploring nearby trails, visiting local spots, or doing absolutely nothing at all.
By evening, the pace shifts even slower. The air cools, the sounds of the forest deepen, and everything feels a little more still.
Location
Secluded, but not remote—you're a short drive from local lakes, hiking areas, and small-town charm, while still feeling completely tucked away.
Other Things to Note
A short rental agreement will be shared digitally and must be acknowledged prior to check-in.

This was a very well thought out cabin with many conveniences—from plenty of hooks to remotes for the lights to a guest Netflix subscription. It was very quiet on the property. The porch is a fantastic place to relax. The upstairs can get warm even with the HVAC but there are two fans that keep it comfortable. There is also a door with a screen you can leave open in the loft. I would definitely stay here again. Also, the host is extremely responsive.

I loved everything about it. Came with 2 kids (age 6 and 10). Spent the night. Enjoyed the wildlife (cows, donkeys and sheep) and the firepit. The house was heated with great facilities as described. Would recommend.

We stayed at this cabin at Holly Forest for a few nights over thanksgiving. The cabin held our little family (2 adults 2 young kids) well on the loft bed and the pull-out couch. The grounds are beautiful and we had a ton of fun at the basketball court and the field next to it. We cooked food in the provided toaster oven/air fryer but could have easily used the common area equipment too (grill, griddle pan, pizza oven). Hosts were responsive to our needs. Bathrooms were clean and close to our cabin. We would come back!

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!

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest
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.

Kerwin and his family saved my son's 16th birthday celebration. We made a reservation for tent style accommodations for the evening but when we arrived, it was FAR from what was advertised. We had to scramble to find somewhere else and Kerwin responded immediately to my almost 8pm request to book and answered his phone when I panic called. (This was literally 10 minutes after I requested to book, and he said he was right in the middle.of texting me back. The RELIEF I felt in that moment is indescribable) Kerwin and family are the sweetest and I cannot explain how grateful I am for their hospitality. The home was immaculate when we arrived and waking up to a field of cows and 2 of the cutest donkeys ive ever seen was amazing. The property, the people, the vibe, the atmosphere- its all perfect! Unfortunately we had to leave before we could meet Kerwin or his other farm animal family members in person,but we will absolutely be back! Maybe even to get married at their stunning wedding venue!!!! 100% perfect. Book it, youll regret it if you dont!

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”.

What a hidden diamond in a heart of North Carolina! If you want to relax and re-energise, this place is for you! All cabins are well made to fit any need or taste! Glass cabins are the best! You sleep deep in a woods! Full emersion into the nature!
Owners of the who farm are very thoughtful people! You can check out farm animals, go fishing or have a complimentary cup of coffe in a barn house equipped with great kitchen, self barbecue café, get a dozen of real farm fresh fresh eggs for breakfast!
There is a nicely equipped bathrooms and shower rooms.
Also, they have a gorgeous rustic Wedding venue, gorgeous pond for fishing. There are a nice golf carts to get around the farm, to bring your belongings to the house. Also, beautifully squired barbecue by each house, How about spending a night by a starry sky?
The bottom line-the best retreat ever! Great management. And a great spot for any romantic event or family reunion! Come, bring your friends, family, and kids!
