Surrounded by towering trees and a serene pond, the property provides a refuge for those seeking solace amidst wilderness.

The woods sing their perpetual tune—leaves rustle, birds serenade. The tranquil pond mirrors the sky and the forest, a serene spectacle untouched by time

Stay for a while

Once a 1960’s camper on wheels belonging to and lovingly restored by close family cousins, The Happy Camper Tiny House was moved to Adkins Nature Retreat as a way to share the property and an escape to tranquility with others.

Testimonials

“I’m really starting to get accustomed to my home away from home. This is my third visit and I cannot wait for the fourth. The only bad thing about this place is that it’s 3 hours from my house and I can’t get there faster. Next time you may have to deal with a squatter.”

“What a dreamy little oasis you have here! And right in the middle of bustling Fort Mill. I dozed and caught up on the day in the nook before sleeping like a ROCK. The outdoor shower was too seductive..so blame me for any extra efforts needed by the water heater. Can’t wait for another work meting in this town - hope the Tiny House will be available!”

“We have enjoyed our weekend at Dickie’s Cabin! Had everything we needed for a relaxing family time. Hikes in the woods with the dog, fishing with the grandchildren and run/play time in wide open spaces were favorite activities. Sitting on the porch overlooking the pond and trees was a great rest spot. Thanks so much for sharing this space!
