Weekend Trip to The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

My best friend wanted to celebrate her birthday in nature, and this spot has been on my Hipcamp bucket list so we booked it for a girls’ trip, and it did not disappoint! The hosts make you feel welcomed while still giving you complete privacy. I’m honestly surprised this place isn’t listed under the stargazing category because it felt like we were in a dome, we saw so many constellations plus Jupiter and Saturn! The farm is clean, beautiful, and peaceful. The animals were adorable, but Jack was the star of the trip his perfectly timed laugh kept us cracking up all weekend. The greenhouse was awesome, but the outdoor shower was the true winner for all of us. The products were top-tier and the water pressure/temperature were perfect! This is a true hidden gem. We walked the on-site trail to Abbott’s Creek it’s HUGE, definitely kayak ready, and even good for fishing. The massive cypress trees along the water are breathtaking. We’re already planning more trips here because it’s perfect for everyone: families, couples, friend groups, or solo travelers. You don’t have to worry about ice, wood, or charcoal since you can buy them on-site, and if you don’t want to cook, you’re less than 5 miles from food and gas stations. Plus, so many attractions are nearby right now you can even visit the troll less than 20 minutes from the cabin! Highly recommend bringing a telescope. Thank you N & D for hosting us 10/10!

This is a wonderful cabin getaway. The grounds were well kept, the cabin was comfortable and Darin was so great deal with. It is close to Hanging Rock SP which was a plus. I would definitely stay here when I’m in the area.

Very private site near Hanging Rock State park. The cabin stayed cool during the day and warm at night. The bed was super comfortable and the site was setup with everything you'd need for a weekend camp trip! We enjoyed our trip!

Cool spot! Came down for my birthday so that was nice. Everything here has been done with care, intent and purpose is what I observed. Tried to figure the amount of work that has been done here and could not. Hot water shower was great. Learned about a composting toilet. Visited some with Jack the donkey. Little cabin was cool especially the windows which worked on a kind of swivel and peg system. Didn't use the stove but found it intriguing and imagined myself warming up next to it in the winter. Good area for jogging also, hence the appreciation for the shower. Wish I had collected some black walnuts. Would definitely book again

Great location close to Hanging Rock, peaceful, nice basic kitchen set up. Trail onsite (which we plan to explore next time) Very cozy, host is very nice, went out of his way to make our stay wonderful ! The driveway is steep, my ford fiesta could not make it up the incline. I parked at the landing just at the bottom of the hill. Otherwise 11/10 we will definitely be back anytime we are in the area!!!

Quiet, well equipped little cabin. The fire pit, chairs, and picnic table were really nice. The portapotty was clean. I appreciated all the items available (hand/dish washing station, shower, cooler, grill, pots, dishes) since we of course forgot a few things. Secluded, but safe. The bed was very comfortable. Nicely cleared area, safe for my toddler to run around. Beautiful area. We will definitely be back.

I had an amazing time at the cabin. I would 100% come back to this location. My favorite thing about this location are all of the paths you’re able to explore. There’s a really nice little river on the property you should check out if you have time. I don’t have anything to say about this location but there are a lot of spider webs and frogs. I actually accidentally stepped on a big one after dark but he was fine. The owners came and changed out trash and they were very nice people. If you’re looking for a nice secluded area this is a great spot.

The cabin was fantastic. It was tucked back away giving you the feeling of being secluded which was exactly what we wanted. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off. If you have charcoal you are good to go out there. They have almost every amenity; grill, campfire pit, fire wood, Adirondack chairs, and more. We loved it. It was perfectly located for us between Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain. Will definitely book this place again!

Natalie’s place was PHENOMENAL- she’s truly a born hostess. If your definition of luxury if the same as mine, that “they thought of everything” feeling, then this is the most luxurious rental available. Everything screamed “we truly care” - they had little mosquito coils, fire starter, fire wood, etc for us, plus they took the time to fully prepare the beautiful wood stove so all we had to do was light it. They also had a little mini store with great prices for important things (like $2 ice bags and $10 headlamps). The land was gorgeous & easy to find, the animals were all friendly, the outhouse and outdoor shower were impeccably clean, plus they brought us fresh eggs! I cannot rave enough, this was a lovely experience for a weekend getaway. Cannot wait to return :)

One of the best camping experiences I’ve ever had. The cabin is cozy, but nothing beats sleeping under the stars, being awakened by a donkey, and befriending a couple of pigs over coffee. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

Let me start by saying this which was the most important thing. I FELT SAFE AND WELCOME DURING MY STAY. I gifted myself some much needed time alone for my birthday and the property and people were so wonderful. The farm, the garden, the lake (even though the water was low) everything was a great vibe. During the day I walked the property, picked fresh vegetables and herbs, and watched the animals interact with eachother. Have you ever seen a donkey and cow taking a walk together? Well I did, and I do t know if that’s special but it felt special to me. They had Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner in the outdoor shower(IYKYK) now I’m trying to order some for my house. I took a black girl shower outside(that just means I pampered myself) Outdoor pooping is not as bad as I seems, the sawdust really does work to kill the smells and I only saw 1 big fat caterpillar in there and I think he was just trying to get out the rain. Now I am not a fan of walking in the dark but it’s about 20-30 ft. From the cabin to the outhouse so I did run with my phone and light (pointless fear) I should have included this first and it really is important. Darrell and Natalie are really nice people and I feel like they are really operating with love. Because they could have ignored me the whole time and proceeded with their day but they made sure to welcome me and encourage me to explore. I’m coming back and bringing my children so they can enjoy this space as I did.
