Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Quiet, secluded cabin in a stunning serene setting overlooking the Uwharrie River, set on 110 acres of forested and pastured land of “Back to Earth Farm”. The best spot on the property is on the cabin porch watching the river roll by.

The space
If you are looking for a place to get away in nature, relax, and rejuvenate, you have found it! Once you get here and take a deep breath, you will never want to leave! Lay in the hammock on the porch by the river listening to the sound of water falling over rocks, and soak up the peace and tranquility. Meander along the forested walking trails around the property and enjoy the wildlife, flowers, plant life, and beautiful sitting areas. Have a picnic, fish in the pond, swim in our pool, kayak, visit the bees, walk the orchard, find all the bird houses along the walking trails, or go star gazing at the open sky and beautiful stars at night. These are just some of the on property offerings at “Back to Earth Farm”.

We are sorry but for a variety of reasons, no pets allowed.

If you are interested we also offer different levels of farm tour experiences on the airbnb experiences app. From little kids farm tour, regenerative farming and healthy living, to being a farmer for 1/2 a day.

You can sign up there or just let me know what you are interested in and timing and we will do our best to make it happen.

The cabin is hand-crafted from pine and cedar and is an amazing piece of architecture. The smell of cedar wafts by as you walk in the door. Although we call it a “cabin”, because it is made with all kinds of wood and sits by a river in the forest, one of our visitors called it the Ritz Carlton of cabins. It has all the conveniences of a home, but with the peace and serenity of living in nature. It has 2 bedrooms, a bath, living area, dining area, full kitchen, heating and air, fireplace, TV, wireless, internet, wraparound lower porch, 2 upstairs porches, and a 2 car covered car port.

One bedroom is downstairs with a king bed. The upstairs bedroom is a loft area with 2 single beds and a queen bed. The bathroom is downstairs with a shower, no bath tub. It can comfortably sleep 6.

It is fully furnished, including a fully equipped kitchen with a full-sized fridge, new oven and stove top, a French press coffee/tea maker, and a blender (perfect for breakfast smoothies!) The kitchen is equipped with dishes, silverware, and pots and pans. The eating area has a large table (hand made by me) with benches and 2 chairs on the end. It can comfortably seat 8.

It includes complimentary coffee and tea. All linens and towels are provided. We also provide shower gel, shampoo and hair conditioner so you don't have to pack these bulky items!

I would caution that the upstairs has open stairs and a walkway to an upstairs porch area, so while architecturally stunning and sturdy you may only want older kids up there. The cabin is not child proofed.

Guest access
The cabin is a stand-alone building that is located approximately 1/2 mile on a graveled road from the main house around a bend and in the forest by the river. It cannot be seen from the main house and is very secluded. We live in the main house. You also have access to the other 110 acres which includes a fishing pond with dock, river, and walking paths around the property. We have a pool at the main house, pool house, towels, and pool toys that you are welcome to use during your stay. The pool is open approximately June through September. Just ask me if it will be available if you are arriving a little before or after these times as it mostly depends on the weather. We cover the pool in winter.

We also have 2 one person kayaks available for use on the pond. We have vegetable gardens in summer, composting areas, chickens, and cows which provide us fresh vegetables, eggs, and meat. Depending on the season there may be plenty to share.

There is a charcoal grill in the carport area for your use, and if you would like to make your own farm to table meal we have all cuts of grass fed beef available for purchase.

You do not have access to the main house or other facilities such as the barns, carriage house, and sheds. The property has exterior and interior electric fencing.

Other things to note
We are on a paved road up to our house, but you will need to drive about 1/2 of a mile on a graveled road to get to the cabin. If you want to roam around the farm or partake in helping with the cows you might want to bring pants and boots or appropriate footwear.

Neighborhood highlights

If you want to include a variety of activities during your stay, there are numerous activities available off property. We are located in what is called the Central Park area of North Carolina. Named this because, although we are nestled in the forests and pastures of the ancient Uwharrie mountains and near sparkling lakes, we are also located in close proximity to metropolitan areas such as Greensboro, Winston/Salem/, Charlotte, and Raleigh/Durham.

We are closest to Asheboro, NC, about 8 miles, and 14 miles from the North Carolina Zoo which is an amazing zoo on 550 acres, and 5 minutes from golf. We are 5 minutes from one of the 2 Mike Strantz designed golf courses in North Carolina - Tot Hill Farm Golf Club. We are next door to hiking in the Uwharrie National Forest, and close to a large pottery region in Seagrove, NC. We are just an hour away from the famous Pinehurst golf courses and resort, and near outdoor recreational activities, cultural recreation, beautiful scenic byways, and historical sites. Or you can go to the nearby metropolitan areas and find whatever you are interested in. If you would like help creating an itinerary, Janice would be happy to give you ideas.

My biography title: I thought it would be a good idea ....
Hi! My name is Janice and I live on a beautiful piece of property in North Carolina with my husband Tom, mom, and dog. We moved here from Dallas, TX. where we left the corporate and city life to start “Back to Earth Farm” in 2013. We were looking for a beautiful place where we could reconnect with nature, and a place where others could do the same. We are passionate about leaving the land healthier than we found it, sustainable living, high level wellness, connecting communities with a healthy food source, and offering a place for people to come to rest, rejuvenate, and have fun. We wanted all that and still wanted to be close to city conveniences and activities, and we found it! We have approximately 110 acres in the beautiful piedmont area of North Carolina. We are close to the Uwharrie National forest and the Uwharrie river runs through our property. We have pastures, forest, a fishing pond, a river, walking trails, beautiful sitting spots, star gazing areas, bird watching, bees, grass fed cows, chickens, guineas, a dog, a garden, swimming pool, and a beautiful cabin on the Uwharrie River. We love to take advantage of what is in the area like walking, hiking, tennis, golf, racquetball, biking, kayaking, good organic local food, working on the land, showing people around the farm, creating beautiful spaces, meeting new people, and spreading high-level wellness to name a few things. You can learn more about our products, the land, and us at our backtoearthfarm website. We are inspired by "reconnecting people with the earth and soul". We look forward to meeting you someday!
