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.

Espresso (RV / Van) - Full Hookup

Misled about site hookups

I booked the site with full hookups (50A electrical) and on the day of my reservation the host texted me to check in and asked if I would mind changing sites since we were car camping with our Tesla and not towing a full RV. He said “and, of course, this site would have all the appropriate hookups for you like the other.” I responded “Oh sure, that works! As long as it still has a 50A NEMA 14-50 hookup, that's totally fine.” which got no response, but I assumed surely that’s what he meant. My wife and I were counting on the 50A service to charge our car fully overnight and power the AC. Well, we showed up (very late at night, so no way to contact host) and followed the directions and there was only a 30A hookup with a 15A adapter, 110V. I triple checked the directions, this was definitely the site. The next day I checked the hicamp listings and determined we had been switched to a cheaper site in spite of paying for the more expensive one, so we got ripped off about $15 in addition to not having the hookups we were counting on. I found the full hookup site while I was there, and it was occupied. So, intentionally or not, this host got away with double booking the more expensive site and saddling us with the lesser one. Also, the “bathroom” is effectively a litter box with a seat on top, which was not expected. Given the positive reviews, I was shocked at how bad our experience was. Would not recommend.

Americano (Van/RV/Car) - No Hookup

Great experience!

So peaceful and well run! I think we had the best spot at the whole camp ground. It was so quiet and nice we had a great time. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Free firewood was a great perk! Loved how eco friendly the campground was. I’m confident we’ll be back!
