Sweet Valley Ranch, a 300-acre agritourism destination in Fayetteville, has unveiled a new lodging experience known as Sweet Valley Ranch Farmhouse Retreats. This concept allows guests to stay on a working farm, surrounded by animals, natural beauty, and rich family heritage. The heart of this retreat is the Queen's Landing Log Cabin, constructed from wood milled directly on the property.
“Back in 2017, we had the land thinned out by a logging company. What was left behind was a pile of smaller trees that no one else wanted,” said Fred Surgeon, founder and CEO of Sweet Valley Ranch. “I decided to invest in a sawmill, and we used that very wood to build something meaningful.”
Guests at Sweet Valley Ranch Farmhouse Retreats can look forward to a unique, immersive experience with farm life. Wake up to the sound of roosters crowing and greet Tiny, the farm's beloved 2,500-pound Brahma bull. The farm is also home to exotic animals like Abdul the camel.
Interacting with these animals offers a rare opportunity to connect with nature and experience the daily life of a working farm, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Sweet Valley Ranch offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy. Golf cart and ATV rentals are available for those who want to explore the property at their own pace. As the ranch prepares for its busy summer season, events like Dinosaur World and Hills & Thrills ATV Adventures promise excitement and adventure for visitors of all ages.
These activities provide a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, ensuring that every guest finds something to enjoy during their stay.
The Farmhouse Retreats collection features a range of accommodations to suit different preferences. In addition to the Queen's Landing Log Cabin, guests can choose from a cozy Tiny House, a fully furnished luxury RV, and several guest houses originally built for visiting family and close friends.
Each accommodation is nestled within working areas of the farm, offering an immersive, one-of-a-kind stay that combines comfort with rustic charm.
Sweet Valley Ranch Farmhouse Retreats is now accepting bookings, with limited availability for summer weekends. This is more than just a place to sleep; it's a place to connect.
“We want families to experience what it feels like to unplug, slow down, and enjoy the beauty of farm life,” said Surgeon. “Farmhouse Retreats lets you do that in comfort, while still being right in the middle of the action.”
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to create new memories and experience the magic of farm life. Book your stay today and embark on an unforgettable summer adventure. For more information, visit www.sweetvalleyranchnc.com
