Beautiful peaceful place
Absolutely loved this tiny house and the surrounding trees. It was very peaceful outside. I was able to sit outside and enjoyed reading my book. We were not far from Wilmington and the beaches.

Local weekend getaway
My wife and I chose this little place for a quick weekend getaway for just the two of us. It was perfect! The place was nice and clean and had everything you needed. It was a great place to get away and relax but a short drive to downtown Wilmington. We 10/10 recommend this place! You won’t be disappointed.

Fabulous “tiny house”
My daughter and I stayed here Memorial Weekend, my daughter’s basketball team had a tournament in Wilmington. We loved this “tiny house”! So neat and clean!! Owner was quick with responding to questions. It was so nice to come “home” to a quiet place after being in a gym all day. It has everything you need! It was a rainy weekend so unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the expansive property or the fire pit. Will be back with my hubby for an anniversary weekend get-away!!

A peaceful getaway
Everything about this place was perfect for my peaceful weekend away for Mother's day weekend! Everything you need is not a long drive Wilmington but if you also just want to rest then this place is the one. Check in was easy, the property owner was responsive to questions and it was absolutely beautiful! 10/10 Recommend

Stay at RDF
Our stay at RDF farms was an absolute dream! It is a beautiful location that allows for total relaxation. It is close enough to Historic downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach that going out during the day is convenient. But it was nice coming back at night to a quiet location out of the city. Gene was great to work with. Fast responses when I had questions through our stay and also did an amazing job with his VRBO properties. Highly recommend!
