An AirBnB host was left stunned after guests fled her stunning North Carolina farm after spotting a MAGA flag nailed to a fence on the property.
Danielle Durham’s luxurious farm stay in Lexington, south of Winston-Salem, offers guests the opportunity to escape the city and experience farm life first hand.
The Outskirts of Heaven Farm, where the average stay costs $170 per night, is a rural oasis where visitors can horseback ride, hike, swim and interact directly with animals.
Guests rave about Durham’s charming home which they say is run by ‘good, down to earth people’ who have made the farm a ‘fantastic retreat for the whole family’.
So it’s unsurprising that Durham was flabbergasted last week after a guest checked in and decided to leave just five minutes later.
‘Our AirBnB guest said there is no way she could stay somewhere like this,’ Durham said as she panned across the farm’s beautiful landscape in a now-viral video.
‘Because she saw this…’ the host continued, before stopping the camera on a small flag supporting Donald Trump and JD Vance‘s 2024 election campaign that had been pinned to the fencing of an animal pen on the property.
Durham claimed the guest then ‘got in her car and drove away, and left’, leaving farm dog Zoey – who features in the clip – feeling ‘sad’.

Durham was soon attacked by progressives suggesting anyone with different politics to them should be canceled.
Some allege it would be ‘unsettling’ to stay in a place where guests are ‘greeted by signs that signal exclusion, extremism, and a disregard for many people’s dignity’.
Others argue Durham and her team have ‘terrible politics should not be supported’.
A few went as far as saying they ‘would have stayed here in a heartbeat’ but would no longer even considered it because Durham ‘posted her political views for all to see and they do not mesh well with my morals’.
But the host – who has received dozens of raving reviews from former guests – does not seem too bothered by the campaign to attack her business.
In another video posted Sunday, Durham directly called out ‘everyone trying to cancel the farm because of my sign’.
‘I took it down. I’m going to make a new TikTok, right Chip Chip?’ she said as she showcased a cute little pig who lives on the farm.
‘Tell everybody you love them, Chippy,’ she added before launching into an montage highlighting all of the glamour the property has to offer.

Guests can ‘wake up to animals right outside your window’, she captioned a photo of a bedroom outfitted in farmhouse-inspired décor.
She also showcased the property’s ‘cute breakfast nook’, large living space, another bedroom and the home’s exterior.
‘All animal lovers welcome!’ she added, before promoting the property’s hiking trails, fishing area, river, hammock napping area, campfire pit and in-ground swimming pool.
The clip ends with a close-up on Chippy the pig, who is seen sticking his snot near the break in the white fence.
The only sign left in sight is one baring a drawing of a pig that reads, ‘every butt deserves to be rubbed’.
Although several MAGA critics have slammed Durham for putting her alleged political affiliations on display at the farm, many social media users have also rushed to her defense.
‘If you get mad over a political view and hate this place soley (sic) over that… you are literally what’s wrong with the world. Hypocritical as can be and the amount of cognitive dissonance it requires is pathetic,’ one person wrote on the farm’s Facebook page. ‘Get a life and go do something that actually matters and makes a difference because these people are.’

A veteran echoed the sentiment, writing: ’10 stars beautiful property.
‘People should stop harassing a lovely business just bc you don’t agree with them politically. It’s not left or right.
‘We’re all American. I didn’t join the military to protect the constitution only for those I agree with politically.’
‘As a business owner myself I have received the same exact backlash as this owner has.
‘It must be really exhausting to literally sit there and ask every place of business who they voted for,’ another sympathized.
”I bet some businesses even LIE to you just to get your business and you wouldn’t even know it! Jokes on you. Keep on representing America and keep American businesses thriving.’
A former guest added: ‘Absolutely beautiful! The property is an unbelievable place to relax and the hosts are wonderful as well! Highly recommend!’
