Why buy a home when you can build a fairytale?
Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are your average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment. We are trying to figure out if a family can use their own hands and some grit to handcraft a life that you don't need a vacation from. Or better yet, that you would vacation to. Have we done that? You be the judge.
About 4 years ago we left our South Florida handcrafting furniture business to pursue this new goal. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living that would find a harmony between some of the old fashioned world that we'd found ourselves missing, and the handful of modern advancements that were actually beneficial. All while keeping it classy.
At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cabins, installing solar, composting, planting, and building toilets that are better for our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature. Ani and I are big believers in being mindful and respectful of our environment wherever reasonable. So, we are incorporating both alternative and municipal utilities as they can fit into our homestead design and limited budget.
Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" small living can feel. We all have personal priorities and those will vary greatly, and that's okay. But no person should be so self-absorbed that we have completely shut out the importance of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our fellowman. After all, if we don't have that, what do we have?
To be completely transparent, though, the creatives in us also would like it if we inspired onlookers to possibly look at their own space and life a little bit differently. We've personally found it to be so fulfilling to distinguish real desires and needs from the ones we've been groomed to pursue, and then work to make them a reality. We've found it energizing to witness our fellowmen and women pursuing a dream. We'd like to be a stimulating memory along any person's journey.
Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, and that they can appreciate some of our old-fashioned ways. That, as our paths cross, we won't be held to a business-first standard that we have worked hard to remove ourselves from. We realize everyone has a right to be themselves, but our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm.
Absolutely loved this location! Curt was a great communicator & we never hesitated to ask questions both before reserving the site & afterwards with follow-up questions. He was so prompt with replies & made it easy to make decisions/reservations.
He met us upon arrival & that is such a personal touch. He's an extrovert & conversation comes easy for him. He shared the site layout & gave us clear restrictions on parking due to common thoroughfare.
Finally, we enjoyed Curt's fellow guests! His parents were on-site during our stay as well as multiple short-term guests throughout our 10 day stay. We enjoyed each interaction & recommendation.
This spot was perfect coming off I-95 for a quick overnight stay. The access was easy with plenty of space to maneuver our truck and camper. We booked a no hookup but Curt gave us an upgrade on arrival to electric and water which was greatly appreciated. The location really was pretty and quite peaceful.
Curt has created a truly incredible camp! His attention to detail and eco-friendly designs make this my favorite Hipcamp. So many camp spots miss so many little details but not Curt. I loved the peacefulness and simplicity & the location is perfect for day trips to Savannah, Hilton Head and the surrounding area. If you love nature and appreciate a host that does too, this is a perfect spot!
We found Curt's Hipcamp the perfect stopover! Only a few minutes from 95. Easy directions. Great host. Highly recommend the wonderful clean, well designed outdoor shower ! It was a refreshing way to start the day! Site was also clean and well marked. We will definitely visit again in our travels.
Stopped here with our Sprinter Van while travelling northbound on Rt 95 Access was easy, the location was as described. Curtis was an amazing host. We really appreciated the time he spent showing us around and chatting. The bath house was an unexpected bonus. We've been on the road for a few weeks now, and staying here was a highlight.
The Hampton Hamlet is a wonderful amd quiet place to come and relax. Curt and his family have a created a beautiful welcoming place with a lot of creative and hard work.. Getting my 40ft 5th wheel in and ouy was a breeze with Curts guidance and the full hookups were too easy. It was almost like our camper had been their before haha. We can't wait to come back.
