We spent one night - my partner and I basically used this location as an alternative to an Airbnb or hotel because the weather was nice and we wanted to break out our camping stuff at least once this season. \n\nDue to our short utilitarian stay we didn’t use all the amenities available to us, but Skip was a very welcoming and helpful host upon our arrival, and we appreciated a short tour of the property. \n\nThe dogs barked at us but were not threatening. Kudzu rhizomes were prevalent but didn’t bother us from beneath our sleeping pads.

He was very kind and offered to help us out by providing light for setup (which we politely declined). His campsite is nice and quiet and set back far enough from the road that you feel safe and secluded!" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Allison F." }, "datePublished": "May 23, 2024", "reviewBody": "Staying here changed my life. I’ve been reflecting on my experience for two weeks, telling my friends about this place, planning my return, etc. Skip is a genuine, insightful, kindred soul and he was incredibly accommodating (I arrived after 10pm and he still made time to help me get settled and talk with me), open (he showed me everything on the homestead and talked with me at great length, answering my questions and sharing his experiences with me), and thoughtful (the homestead is designed with care and the access to amenities is perfect). \n\nThe land is beautiful! The space is safe and welcoming, and as a black woman traveling solo, this was crucial for me. I left feeling inspired and re-energized. So glad to have found this place and to have made a new friend in Skip.
