Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Before the Kerr Scott Reservoir was built, in the 40's and 50's, this neighborhood was a local swimming hole and vacation area. Public buses came from neighboring communities so people could boat, swim, camp, and picnic. While we don't have access to the pond, our part of this land still is calling out to people, 'Come, rest, unload your burdens, and find peace.' When we started this project with Hipcamp, we didn't fully realize that we were reconnecting with the history on this property. So, come, take your shoes off, and wade in the creek. Read a book while laying in a hammock. Sit by the fire and chat with family and friends. Come and participate in our little homesteading project, and leave your burdens behind. LOCAL ACTIVITIES: To the west is the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is 30 minutes away. 15 minutes away is Kerr Scott Dam where you can rent kayaks, pontoon boats, as well as other sporting equipment. Fish, go mountain biking on the extensive trails, and hiking. Prayer Mountain is right up the road, about 2 miles away. Heading east, you can find several fine wineries andvineyards that you can visit. There is also a moonshine distillery in town. About a half hour away is an Amish community that has several businesses open to the public, including the Shiloh Bakery and General Store. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. To the northeast, about 45 minutes away, is Stone Mountain. Absolutely fantastic hiking, it is also an old homestead that has been renovated and is open to the public. To the south, there is Rocky Face Park, where there is hiking and rock climbing. Nearby, is Emerald Hollow Mine, where you can go and find, and keep, precious stones you find in the nearby river. There is also a great disk course course, Highland Hills Disc Golf Course, one of the top 25 in the country. There is fun for all ages. Merlefest, the last weekend of April, is a world class Bluegrass festival, is located right in our town. Be sure to look at the activities section below for additional information.

Cozy Cottage Farm Stay
Girls Trip W Goats!
My friend Emily and I stayed at Elizabeth’s this past week! We had a wonderful time and absolutely loved our stay. Our time feeding the goats, petting the donkeys, and antiquing in town was the best way to relax! The land is beautiful and it’s a great little getaway for a girls weekend. If you get a chance definitely spend some time chatting with Elizabeth and her husband, their fun company and have incredibly stories!! 10/10 would recommend!

Happy Hillside Tent & Hammock Camp
Awesome
In the words of my 12 year old, “It’s awesome”! My husband and son spent one night here and loved it. It was well stocked with utensils and cooking pots and pans so they did not have to pack a lot. We will be back!

Bird's Nest Tree House
So cute - “a little slice of heaven” says my wife. Beautiful property with multiple fire pits and hammocks, and a common area. Our bed was extremely comfortable and kept us warm. Will definitely visit again.

Perfection
This spot was absolutely gorgeous. The hosts are the kindest people you'll ever want to meet and very accommodating. It's easy to get to without too steep of a drive, and the views are incomparable. The babbling brook is so serene, and visits from the owner's friendly dog are a big bonus. We enjoyed our stay so much and highly recommend the experience!
