Jackson Farm Guest House

This farm has been in my family since Thomas Jefferson was president.
 I began management of the farm in 1980 and remodeled an old farmhouse into a guest house for a family or for couples to find an escape from the chaos of city life and the modern world generally. The house sits on a gated, 10 acre wildlife preserve, beside a 3 acre pond,
 which adjoins our 100 acres of fields and forest.

Our entire farm is in a conservation easement so it can never be developed, and we are one of the few private properties on the NC Wildlife Resources Commission "Birding Trail"; we have documented over 100 species of birds here in different seasons of the year. Our pond, private for guest house users, offers good fishing and we provide a boat. We also have over 2 miles of walking trails through our woodland and along the pond. Although we permit no outdoor fires, we do have a fireplace in the house and furnish free, seasoned firewood.

We grow organic vegetables, alliums, and fresh herbs, along with a great many flowers to attract pollinators.

Because some of our guests are allergic to pet dander,
 and because pets often frighten the wildlife away,
we do not accept any pets here, nor do we own any ourselves.

We offer a  two bedroom private guest house with central heat and air, situated in a  10 acre, gated wildlife preserve which adjoins our 100 acre farm and  which overlooks a private fishing pond (with boat).  We  promise no TV, radio, newspaper, telephone or internet connection, but  do have a small library in the house.  For the convenience of the  ladies, the kitchen has no stove but does have a large, sheltered  smoker/grill (charcoal provided) on a covered patio beside the kitchen, a  full power microwave, and all other kitchen amenities, including a  French press with a bean grinder and electric kettle; we also provide  our own blend of fresh roasted coffee beans as well as tea, herb tea,  chocolate and popcorn. The bathroom has a large claw footed tub and we  provide bath salts and fresh organic herbs for the bath. There is a  working fireplace and we provide seasoned hardwood for it. Guests may  enjoy  our farm which offers about two miles of  woodland trails and abundant wildlife and birds but no domestic animals.  NO pets are permitted at the guest house because many guests have  allergies to animal dander.  In short, it is a place for individuals, couples and families to find ease, to enjoy a bit of peace, quiet, and privacy and to  go home refreshed, restored, relaxed. The house is so private it has a shower on the screened porch overlooking the pond.

We  are a little over an hour from historic Wilmington and several beach  resorts, only 30 minutes from Fayetteville with museums, a fine  botanical garden, and Fort Bragg, and very close to both I-95 and I-40  interstate highways. We are an hour south of the state capital city,  Raleigh, with many attractions. 

TEMPORARY RESTRICTION: 

Woodpecker right off the porch, also 25+ other birds seen in the span of an hour.

Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

Located east of Fayetteville near exit 49 of I-95, is our lovely, quiet, and secluded 30 acre tract of Southern Yellow pines that we purchased  11 years ago.  

Since we love camping so much we decided to pay it forward and carve out 15 campsites for other campers to enjoy.  

Most of our campsites are gravel and level.  We have a couple of sites that are grass for tenters.

We have only site 1 that has full hookups.  All the other sites are boondocking.

Nature trail.  Blue Blazed.  1/2 mile long.  Starts behind garden.

Tent site #6.  Dad and son stayed in apartment sized tent.  

Legacy Farms Leisure Area

We carved our 43 acre horse farm out of wild swampy land in 2007 and finished the barndeminium in 2008. My husband is retired from the Air Force and works full time doing the chores. I worked full time as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, but I just retired in May of 2024.  I have a side hobby making homemade jams, pickles and flavored goat cheese spreads. We love the peacefulness of where we live...although the chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, peacocks, goats and horses do get a little loud come feeding time.  We have different sites, please read each description or message me before you book a stay. We are constantly looking for ways to upgrade or make our farm more fun to visit.
