This Property was purchased by Grandfather in the 70s  and then was passed to my Mother. In 2013 I decided to live life differently and start from the ground up building with natural materials and found materials. At that time I was fortunate enough to have the land passed to me and I started building a home for myself and to be close to my mothers home nearby. After achieving the basics I decided that the best use of this beautiful land was to create a place for people to relax and enjoy, a park like environment dedicated to preserving natural beauty and amplifying it through a permaculture lifestyle. 8 years later I am blown away at how far the dream has become a reality and love sharing my space with people from all over the country.

Weekend Trip to 3 Creeks Camp and Nature Preserve

2nd time here, our experience at 3 Creek Camp was wholesome. Just as the first time. If you’re looking for a cool homestead to stay, like outdoors, camping style, connecting with nature, yourself, others, and enjoying the peace. This place is for you. Damon is an amazing soul. 🫶 can’t thank you enough for the incredible weekend we had!

1 night at 3 Creeks Camp and Nature Preserve

We loved staying at the creek house. Such a comfortable cabin very cool style. Sitting in there with the curtains blowing the windows open the little fairy lights under the loft it was a level of relaxation i hadn’t experienced maybe never in my life before. If you’re looking to get away from It all, this is the place. I brought two of my kids with me nine and 12 years old I think it was equally enjoyable for them too. They loved the web up in the trees to jump on especially

1 night at South Fork River Cabin

This is one of the most beautiful spaces I have visited. The home was spacious, clean, and modern while still being cozy. Thoughtful amenities. The furniture was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the lounge chairs in the water while taking in the Sounds of Nature. We chose to visit the goats who ran up to us with the most innocent nature, they were adorable! The hammocks were so comfy .I left with more space in my heart than when I arrived.

Damon was a nice host that offered assistance when needed. I stayed in the Creek Campsite and it was a joy! The property is beautiful and he has a web that was nice to sit on and look at the stars. Easy to navigate in and out of the site (even with a little sedan). Only stayed for one night, but it just so happened to be a night full of music and a light show.

Weekend Trip to Small Stuff Farm

This has to be the best property offered on Hipcamp. I have rented places through Hipcamp as well as other apps, and this is the best property and best experience yet. The hosts Loretta and Erik could not be more kind and welcoming. They live onsite, and will give you space and privacy when you want it…but will also quickly make you feel like an Important part of the household. The property is first class. You can meet the farm animals and experience farm life as much as you’d like. Yet you can also lounge by the pool and swim, and feel like you’re at a 5-star resort. Very unique. Also check out the large pond for wildlife viewing and a paddle boat ride if you’d like. The bedroom and private bathroom is really comfortable and they have every amenity you can think of. And be sure to include Loretta’s home cooked meals when making your reservation. They are delicious, made with ingredients straight from the farm you are staying on, and the fellowship with new friends is the best. Your best bet is to arrive for check-in, and not leave the property until it’s time for check-out. You will love every moment.

This was such a delightful place to stay, and we're already making plans to come back. The Creekhouse is the perfect blend of roughing it with access to basic amenities. My kids enjoyed playing in the creek and exploring the property, and I appreciated the quiet freedom to let them roam. Damon is a wonderful host, friendly and very responsive. When the temperature dropped suddenly, he made sure we had heaters and warm blankets for sleeping, and we stayed cozy. My favorite part was falling asleep to the sound of the creek directly below us.
