The Guinea farm is a real treat and so is Ian! Our large group rented the entire property and had an amazing time. I personally stayed in the tree house which was over the top and amazing! He thought of the little details in the decor and overall
experience from design to functionality. My friends loved the cabin life and the hot shower included. Our children stayed at the suspended tent site which is being upgraded! The additional guests brought campers or tent camped in the field. We brought over 40 people (13 separate groups) and there was more than enough room for additional guest to stay. He provided us with firewood and some basic necessities. The portajohn was clean and sanitized. We ventured to the beach daily which was close. The best was how kind and accommodating Ian was to our group. He answered a million questions and was available for our needs including daily trash pickup. He even gave our kids the tour of his fowl including allowing them to hold the baby chicks! This was an over the top experience! Highly recommended from someone who likes the traditional Airbnb! Thank you Ian, thank you for being a part of our family and friend weekend!

I stayed at the Trilogy site. I stayed in my own tent, but there is a suspended tent available on site. It also had a picnic table, fire, pit, and outdoor shower. I hiked around the property and took part in the axe throwing board. That was a lot of fun. I drove down the road a mile to the beach and did some fishing and came back to the site that evening to cook dinner and hang out around the fire. Ian is a great host. He included firewood and farm fresh eggs for me. I used one of the eggs to put on my burger that I cooked that evening. You can’t see anyone on the other sites from where you are at, you can at times hear some of the other people in the distance, but I was surrounded by good people in a safe area. I would recommend the site to anyone doing a solo camp, family camp, or other group camp. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 💯

This place has all the creature features but still seems somewhat off grid and magical all the same time. Will be back!!

Wisteria Treehouse
The treehouse was so cozy , especially at night with the fairy lights. It had everything we needed for a relaxing camping trip and plenty of land for my dog to walk around. Would definitely come back & Ian was very helpful!

This place is a little sanctuary! Ian is such a wonderful host, the birds are so much fun and the whole property is a treat to explore.

Beautiful site! We loved the tree house and had a wonderful time staying here. We were excited to play the N64 and use the telescope, and also enjoyed just sitting in and around the tree house. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off after visiting the beach, and for washing dishes. We needed Ian's assistance a couple of times, and he was incredibly helpful and kind. Definitely recommend!

Amenities galore! N64 with projector, gas grill, WiFi, USB fans, rocking camp chairs, citronella candle, amazing treehouse w/doors and windows to open or close. Already-inflated air mattresses on single cots were ready for our pillows and sleeping bags- the tent was very roomy, easily fit 4+, had a lantern, and let us wake up gently to bird sounds. Watched guineas in the field among fragrant wisteria blooms. Small beach nearby.

Staying at Ian's farm was a fun, relaxing experience! Ian was a really great, gracious host and we enjoyed getting to meet him and all the birds! We got a tour of the farm and got to hold and meet the birds after we arrived. We opted for the firewood challenge to see how much we could carry, which was a good time. The stargazer cabin is really well-built, cozy, and a nice, quiet getaway. We felt safe in the cabin even though there was a huge thunderstorm during our stay. The cabin's kitchen had everything you needed, the outdoor shower and composting toilet were comfortable to use, and the bed in the loft made for good sleep. The guinea fowl will keep you constant company, and they're so fun to watch and listen to! The beaches nearby are quiet and super quick to get to. Nearby Matthews also has a really good grocery store and small downtown for extra treats during the day or for picking up stuff to cook on the way to the cabin. We'd definitely visit again and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get out to the country for a bit!

Stargazer Tiny Cabin
We had a fantastic stay in the beautifully built stargazer cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We loved being so close to the beaches; the area has tons of wildlife. Ian is an awesome host! We can't wait to go back!

Treehouse was amazing. Ian works every day improving his sites. He thought of everything from wifi to Fairy lights. The grill is perfect for cooking anything you need. My daughter and I really enjoyed our time there and meeting all the animals. Snuggling with a baby goose might have been her favorite part of our trip!

Best camping trip ever! Beautiful land with lots of privacy. The porta potty was very clean and the site was well maintained. Ian was very accommodating and he gave us an awesome tour of the fowl. We were able to hold the babies and got an entire science lesson. We will definitely be going back again and again.

I had an amazing time staying here! The treehouse makes you feel immersed in nature and the property is beautiful. I enjoyed a peaceful bike ride down to Aaron’s beach and had the entire area to myself. Ian was a great host. I would definitely stay here again!

This is most definitely camping (with some glamping ease), and we LOVED it. However, if you're looking for an Airbnb, cushy experience, this isn't for you. This is a working guinea farm and the birds are squawking pretty much around the clock. The second night we were used to it, but the first night was an adjustment. Also, watch out for rutted ground on the way in and just stop when needed. The road isn't long, anyway. This is also the way (walking) to the portapotty, so a headlamp at night is needed. Again, this is CAMPING, so such things are to be expected. If you go in with that attitude, you will love it! We did. The tent fit our family of five well and we really appreciated the treehouse for cooking, eating, and playing games. We enjoyed a fire at the fire pit and the kids had the run of the woods. Ian was a great host and made sure we had fresh water and propane. We enjoyed little touches like hammocks and chairs. The nearby beach was charming and just a quick drive.

I loved camping on Ian’s land, meeting the Guinea’s and the rest of the birds! He walked us though how to use everything and was super nice and helpful throughout our stay. Came over in less than 5 min if we had any trouble. Probably will come back in the summer to stay there again!

We loved staying at the stargazer cabin on Ian’s farm. It is set up perfectly and Ian is a fabulous host. I meandered through the woods finding different plants, hubby kept the campfire going and our pups were content. Ian has the most beautiful chickens and new chicks hatched that morning! We loved it. Go see Ian you will be glad you did.

I’ve stayed here twice in the treehouse and the tiny cabin and both are amazing! Its like home away from home but add nature to the mix.
I’m thankful I got to make my last memorie here with my fur baby Teddy and we came back to honor him once more. The beach was very beautiful in the morning for the sunrise and if you ever need anything cause you forgot to bring it, there’s a dollar general like 5 min drive away. It’s a great place to get off your devices but have no fear there is Roku lol and WiFi and it’s great!

We loved our stay at Ian’s treehouse. It was quiet, close access to beaches and even had USB port connectivity for powering devices. We took advantage of the propane heater on a cold night — thank you!

This was our 3rd trip to Ian's place. Second time in the cabin. Even though it was sooooo cold Saturday night and Sunday morning, we still had a freaking blast! Like always, Ian was amazing. We requested more firewood to stay warm and he stopped what he was doing to cut some and bring it back to us. We enjoyed seeing and holding the birds. He has lots and lots of chickens right now! Somehow we managed to fit 3 people and 3 dogs in the cabin and stayed warm. I can't recommend this place enough! We have yet to find a place we like quite this much. Can't wait to come back!

My wife and I had a absolutely wonderful time staying at the Stargazer Cabin. Ian was very attentive and has truly thought of everything when he built this cabin. We had no problems with the solar power even though it was cloudy and we were nice and warm all night thanks to the diesel heater. The kitchen was fully equipped with any cookware you would need and we also did a little cooking over the fire pit as well. We definitely plan on coming back with some friends. Thanks for a great time, Ian!

This was such a nice experience. We ended up booking on a very cold night and Ian went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. The guinea hens, chickens, and turkeys were fun to see and learn about as well. Very close to the beach which was quiet and beautiful on a cold December morning!

Cozy cabin perfect for an outdoor getaway without completely roughing it. Cabin has running water and solar powered electricity. There is a composting toilet and propane heated, outdoor shower next to the cabin. Fire pit and picnic table also adjacent to the cabin. Plenty of room for dogs to roam and explore. Walking distance to two quiet beaches (dogs allowed off leash). Stores within a 10 minute drive. I stayed in low 40s/high 30s temps and it was quite pleasant. The privacy and solitude were lovely, without being in the boonies. The host, Ian, is on site and extremely accommodating, communicative and flexible, which made for a wonderful stay! Will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

Ian was absolutely amazing with communication! He replied quickly and thoroughly explained or answered questions. He let us pick from his garden. The Trilogy site was smaller than I expected, but we still fit two 6 person tents inside. There as enough parking for at least 4 cars. (Ian did tell us we could use the open land beside our site.) The only bummer was the bikes were either broken or had flat tires. And the picnic screen house had a lot of rips. The port-o-potty was about 100 yards away. We used a Lowe’s bucket in the shower for the ladies to go to the bathroom during the night.
