Escape to a natural setting without the hassles at “The Haven” at Holly Forest on Heritage Farm.
Enjoy an unforgettable stay in this glamping tent nestled into our 100+ acre farm, a homestead farm focused on natural practices just a quarter mile from Kerr Lake.
THE SPACE
You've never camped like this before! This cozy tent has everything you need, and nothing you don't. The zippered window openings provide lots of natural light and immerse you in nature. Relax on the covered porch with a cup of coffee, a good book, or a glass of wine.
• Cell service is carrier dependent (Verizon and AT&T both work great for us)
• Clean, easy-to-use bathhouse
• Plenty of parking space — bring your boat!
• Event facilities available
Note: This a mostly off-grid camp-like experience with limited electricity via large battery packs (provided) and no heat or AC (if you want all these comforts in the same rustic setting then book our loft "The Refuge"). A misting fan is provided, and ice water can be filled in the base to provide a cool-air experience.
The area is beautiful and a working landscape, which means you may see or hear activities related to agriculture, forestry, and rural life.
Leave your tent and camping gear at home. Simply pack and dress for the weather, bring a sense of adventure, and spend your time dreaming and doing (not packing & setting up gear).
We'll send you our Packing Guide to make your prep simple.
• Sleeps 2 with the provided queen bed; children are welcome, just bring your own sleeping bags to stay in the cabin with you, or bring your own tent to setup right outside.
• Plenty of space for multiple vehicles and boats on the spacious property
• Play pickleball or basketball on the private Sport Court located at Holly Forest
• Wood/charcoal grill with grill grate provided; wood and charcoal available for purchase on site
