Looking for originality? You found it. Why buy a home when you can build a fairy-tale? Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment. We'd noticed as we evolved that we felt generally unfulfilled by the direction society had gone. That our biology and our brain's wiring just didn't naturally mesh when forced to blend with the masses. We had come to learn that we are far from alone, and that made us feel a little less weird. Still, we thought the answer called for more, maybe even drastic action if we could muster the courage. We were thinking a full retreat and redesign, but had very little resources. Can a family use their own minds and hands, with some grit, to handcraft a home and life that felt right? That they didn't even want to vacation from? I don't know, but we decided to try. We still are. Have we done it? You be the judge. In 2019 right before the pandemic, we left our Miami handcrafted furniture business to pursue this new goal. A project in practicality and passion. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living and find a harmony between the helpful aspects of the modern world and the good parts of the old, that maybe society should have held tight to. We wanted to play with this idea...all while keeping it classy ;-) At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cottages, using solar energy, composting organics, sewing and reaping, in a way that is fair to our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature. Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" slow, simple living can feel. We all have personal priorities, and those will vary greatly. But within that, we can all include ways of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our neighbors. Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, that they can appreciate our perspectives and some of our old-fashioned ways. Our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm. Please Note: Because our land is adjacent to a forest and features a natural, undeveloped landscape—including local wildlife, insects, and natural terrain—we want to ensure everyone understands their responsibilities for staying here, before booking. Personal Responsibility: You take full and complete responsibility for yourself, your guests, your vehicle(s), and your leashed pet(s) in every way while on the premises. Insurance: You are solely responsible for carrying my own personal, vehicle, and pet insurance to whatever degree you deem necessary. Release of Liability: You agree not to hold the property owners responsible in any way for any accident, injury, loss, damage, or incident of any kind that may occur to yourself, your guests, your property, your vehicle, or your pets while on the land. Lawful Conduct: This acknowledgement applies to all non-criminal matters and standard risks associated with occupying a natural, outdoor environment.

Looking for originality? You found it. • But what's included for you? - Quick I-95 Access - Any hour arrival (but really late you'll enjoy the self-guided tour) - Privacy (compared to commercial campgrounds, not Alaska) - Bath House (outdoor shower and our famous dry eco-toilet) - Wifi (that actually works, but this is the Lowcountry not Silicon Valley) - Good Cell Reception (for us and comments from others) - Firewood - Inspiration (at least, we've been told) - Explanation (if you're interested) - Kindness (even if you're not in the mood - Designed for Van / Small Campers (not tents) - If you have a unique question, never hurts to ask (message or email heirloomhamlet @ gmail) • Now, why we live different than most: Welcome to Heirloom Hamlet. In an effort to find a balance between an old-fashioned lifestyle and the new, our family is handcrafting a unique eco-friendly homestead near romantic Savannah. Why? We wanted a life that we didn't need a vacation from. One where we were excited to tackle each day from start to finish. One that didn't carry out someone else's goals, but our own. We wanted more time, less stuff. At some point, Ani and I embraced that our ambition was different from the masses. We talked a lot. We got on the same page. Our priority was to have a calm lifestyle with clarity, and in a unique space. We were willing to work. We were willing to sacrifice. We weren't willing to compromise. That's it. We don't think we are special. We don't think we are smart. We do think we are alert and maybe feel a certain sense of courage and toughness. So we try to lean into that. Our approach to shutting off the noise so we can hear our own voice is probably not worth hearing much more about. That said, never hesitate to ask or share. We enjoy rubbing shoulders with like-minded people. Also good to know: Heirloom is definitely not a traditional campground, or a campground at all. It is first and foremost our home. We try to be personable and interact warmly, like the good old days, as they say. Some prefer the more public, businesslike approach to camping, and that is totally understandable. Here, though, we try to maintain a different vibe. If you don't think that our unique lifestyle is for you, that will not hurt our feelings, but it would probably be best to book a stay at a commercial campground. If something quaint and different is right up your alley, we look forward to meeting and hosting you as a small part of your journey. Heirloom is not a place for absolute solitude. Being a few minutes from the most traversed interstate in the US is not what we'd call remote. Remember, we were aiming for balance in our design. We are in a quaint wooded area, but there are still planes, trains and automobiles. Keep in mind when booking at our hamlet, that you are prioritizing creativity, convenience and accessibility, not seclusion. Dogs are especially welcome. Mark Twain once said, "The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog." I think we all know what he meant. There are fire ants in the south. To avoid their sting and any other sharp objects, everyone, especially small children, need to wear shoes at all times. We are still actively building, but I don't want you to hesitate to wander the land and check things out for yourself. Take pictures of whatever you like. I don’t think that we typically make too much racket while working, but I apologize in advance if we do…it would probably have been my fault. Often our activities are pretty neat to witness. Our Bath House is a creatively designed, pleasant outdoor shower and custom eco-toilet. We're famous for it. It is high tech for a dry toilet, but a dry toilet non-the-less. Remember, for us, it is important that we are good to our environment. However, if non-traditional is just not for you, that's okay. But it may be best to find yourself a regular old campground with a regular old public restroom. Your friend, Curt Speaking of that... The way a separating toilet works is an impressive, pleasant experience, if you can say that about... that. Solids and liquids are separated, so sewage is never formed. The liquids end up feeding the landscape and solids go to a compost where it breaks down into an organic fertilizer for healthy soil and plants. We all should be doing our best to work with nature in our own unique circumstances, and this is ours. Some people are not interested in learning new tricks, and they have that right. We understand. If you aren't sure that you can temporarily embrace using a classy, well thought-out dry toilet, it may be best to stay elsewhere. But, the main point is this: Males must sit to pee. It is a MUST. Remember, there is no water in the toilet. If a man stands, all that liquid collides with plastic. Then it becomes a yellow micro-explosion, literally everywhere. It is not about aim, skills or talent. He would only be there for 30 SECONDS, and leave feeling pretty good about himself. Then, because I like nice things, I would have to personally go in after him and spend 30 MINUTES on my hands and knees disinfecting every inch of the entire room. Incidentally, this is exactly the same thing his mother, girlfriend and/or wife has been doing for him for perhaps decades, allowing the guy to live in oblivion. The difference is, I am not their mom, girlfriend or wife. I am a pretty cool guy that lives by the Golden Rule. That's why I try to make everything so attractive and clean, because it is the way I would want things to be. Nobody likes port-o-potties. Please don’t turn our Bath House into one. Sit. It's clean. If any male is looking for camping accommodations, but is way too awesome and macho to sit to pee, or is just super lazy by nature and will most likely not sit to pee, Heirloom is most definitely not their place. There is no need to book a stay here. I’m confident you will be much happier elsewhere. I should add that dudes CAN sometimes pee standing up here. In the woods. On a tree. Seriously though, I promise, you won't have a crappy experience ;-) We look forward to meeting you.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Henry David Thoreau was not a hermit. He was terrified of reaching the end of his life only to learn that he'd spent nearly his entire experience on autopilot. Could many of us be doing just that? We have created our version of Walden Cottage with this same thought in mind. What is it like to have comfortable enough quarters, but only the bare necessities? Well, maybe a few eco-friendly extras. I mean, c'mon, it is 2026. "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity," Thoreau famously wrote. Walden Cottage is a break from the traditional comfort driven design, with a memorable experience as the goal. Start a fire in the small wood stove for warmth. Move natural air for cool. Climb into the loft to rest. Even test your toughness and journey outdoors and into the screened lanai to use the washroom and water closet. Walden may not push your very limits, but it certainly will be a non-traditional living experience, in this day and age, that will teach you something about yourself and share what it would feel like to live another way. What to expect: Full-size loft bed (firm) - Full-size lounge (firm) - Wood Burning Stove - Kitchen Sink (Cold) - Positive / Negative Air Movement - Refrigerator - Microwave - Electric Coffee / Tea Kettle - Private Screened Lanai - Griddle Cooktop - Hammock - Outdoor Fire Pit - Wood Sauna - Private Euro Hot Shower - Private High-Tech Composting Toilet - Solar Energy - Gray Water Repurposing - Private Washing Machine (Cold) - (if necessary) A/C - Some Basics (Sheets, Blankets, Towels, Dinner Ware, Utensils, Cook Ware, Coffee French Press, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, Cream, Sugar) What not to expect: Misery - Boredom - Anxiety We look forward to your joining us, if just for a short time, in the slow life.

Heirloom Hamlet strikes a harmonious chord between nature and comfort, offering a serene retreat with thoughtful design. Guests appreciate the creative touches, from the unique outdoor shower to the massive oak tree that serves as the heart of the property. The hosts, Curt and Ani, are consistently praised for their warm hospitality, making visitors feel at home. While most reviews are positive, one guest noted the proximity to residential areas, which might not suit those seeking complete seclusion.

Americano: Bath House / No Hookups
We stayed for just a quick overnight while traveling south on I-95. Great spot. Interesting property. Quiet campsite. Convenient immaculate bathhouse with composting toilet and outdoor hot-water shower. Several good restaurants 5 minutes away. Curt gave us a quick orientation upon arrival. Nice guy!

Walden Cottage
Spent 2 nights on Curt + Ani’s property. It was such a treat! Absolutely will be returning for more solo, me-time. It’s the perfect blend of lowkey glamping (stayed in the unit with ac) + outdoor living. Everything about the unit was intentional, from the name, design, craftsmanship, to the books on the shelves. You can see the effort and love poured into this place. I went to a show in Folley Beach Saturday night and arrived back to the property around 2:30-3am. Felt completely safe/ease, sat outside in the screened in lanai looking at the stars and listening to instrumentals (very quietly) until almost sunrise. When I return I will have zero plans, park my car, and escape reality the entire time.

Incredible place to stay

Walden Cottage
This was one of my favorite stays I've ever had. Ani and Curt are wonderful and their property is beyond relaxing! It was the perfect stop over as driving up the East Coast. Every detail is thoughtful, the design is gorgeous and the grounds are the perfect place to unwind. Would highly recommend.

We were looking for a quick unique stop for my wife and I with the kids for the night with the camper and hit the road the next morning. We ended up connecting with Curt and his wife. Made to feel like we were home. Nice spot with power. Tall beautiful trees and a hot shower. I loved the exterior build detail on the tiny homes and the off grid vibe. Thanks guys. Will be top on our stop over list next time we head up I95 again.

A tranquil, beautiful and well thought-out haven, a testament to Curt’s vision and creativity. It’s quiet and eco-friendly and it has a champion live oak as its center.

Or hosts were so welcoming. Their property is more than just a place to stay — it is an experience! Beautiful trees and foliage. Great vibe. Loved the chickens visiting us for breakfast! Looking forward to staying again at Curt’s place.

A glimpse of Narnia

This place was a step into Narnia if you love minimal living mindset and small footprint genius! The hosts are absolutely welcoming and informative and personable. We will certainly be back!!! The outdoor shower I want to go home and build myself. Incredible stay, fireflies show off at night to bring some extra magic to the experience with the giant oak as the backdrop. We LOVED making a fire in the giant pinecone, highly recommend.

Beautiful spot and had a nice relaxing stay. Facilities were excellent and much appreciated. Enjoyed listening to the morning birdsong and had a nice surprise visit from one of the resident chickens! Close to I95 but wasn’t bothered by any highway noise. Will come again!

Our stay at Heirloom Hamlet was amazing! Curtis and his family were wonderful hosts. From chickens that greet you when you first arrive to the massive oak tree in the center of the property and the magical outdoor shower the whole experience was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again.

A Hidden Gem Near Savannah

Curt & Ani were incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The property is thoughtfully laid out, the facilities were clean and well maintained, and our site felt very private. We especially loved the unique grill setup and appreciated that we had everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. Curt even kindly lent us a tool so we could work on our van, which was above and beyond. He also gave us excellent advice for getting into Savannah and parking our 24’ van, which worked out perfectly and made exploring the city so much easier. We would absolutely stay here again.

Loved staying here♡ We were just passing through for a night and we were greeted on arrival. Curt and his wife were more than welcoming and offering a fire to be started. The cabin was amazingly beautiful, including the shower with hot water! Our Fur baby loved the outdoors as well.

Hidden Coastal Gem Built with Heart
Walden Cottage
We spent this past weekend at Heirloom Hamlet celebrating my wife birthday, and it ended up being one of those stays you don’t forget. Curt and Ani have created something truly special here. The cottage is entirely custom-built, and you can feel the time, care, and intention that went into every detail. It’s not just a place to stay, it reflects a year of hands-on work and passion, and it shows in the craftsmanship and overall feel. One of the most thoughtful touches was walking into the cottage and finding a birthday cake waiting for my wife. We didn’t expect it at all, and it says a lot about the kind of hosts they are. The property itself feels like a quiet little bird sanctuary. Free-range chickens wandering around, constant songbirds in the background, it honestly felt like a bird haven tucked into the coastal pines and oaks. There’s also a massive 200+ year old live oak right in the center of the property that really stands out. It has a presence to it and ended up being one of our favorite parts of the whole place. The design of the cottage strikes a great balance, custom and modern, but still warm and grounded in the setting. Nothing feels generic. If you’re looking for something unique, peaceful, and built with real intention behind it, this place delivers. We’ll definitely be back!

I had a wonderful stay and cannot recommend Heirloom Hamlet enough. The communication was great from the start, with Curt providing clear and helpful information well before I arrived. Upon pulling in, I was met with genuine warmth and kindness. The hosts showed me around the property, helping me to feel right at home, and the amenities they provide went above and beyond my expectations. The property itself is stunning, filled with artistic and creative touches that make the buildings and grounds feel truly unique. The natural setting was really lovely and peaceful. It was the perfect place for my morning walk with my coffee. Location-wise, it was perfect for me; conveniently close to the highway, but tucked away enough to be quiet and restful. I’m so appreciative of the hospitality and hope to visit again in my travels.

Sing Birds, Flowers, and Stars!!

Americano: Bath House / No Hookups
We were traveling with our 5 year old son in our truck camper and our water system wasn’t working so we stayed at Curt’s place in a simple site with a picnic table and fire ring. The sites are all close to the restroom and shower so it wasn’t very convenient. There were some camper vans and folks staying in the cabins but it was very quiet. The outdoor shower was awesome and Curt and his family have done a great job of building everything from scratch. He met us at our site and showed us how to use everything. The birds were singing and we saw lots of stars that night! Thank you Curt and family!!

Heirloom Hamlet is the perfect camping spot. Curt was very nice and gave us a tour of all the amenities. The bathhouse is a major plus. We loved the peace and quiet of the area, as well as the privacy of our campsite. Highly recommended staying here!

Heirloom Hamlet is an absolute gem. I camped with no hookups, so the availability of the composting toilet (one of the nicest installations i've ever used), sink and shower (hot and cold luxury!) was great! Really enjoyed my conversations with Curt. Would absolutely recommend! I'll be back in the fall!

Curt is so helpful and kind, plus his place is a little oasis away from the hussle. The location is removed, yet close to necessities. I wish I could have stayed longer than only one night.

This "camp site" is in the middle of a dense residential area right next to a busy road. Definitely oversold. Maybe the cabins are better? Thankfully I only needed a place to sleep for the night, but if you are looking for an outdoor getaway, I'd skip this one.
