Weekend Trip to Mystic Meadow Love Shack

This was such an amazing place and space! The land is absolutely stunning, the "Love Shack" was clean, comfortable and the way the roof opened up to the porch was epic. She left little snacks and plenty of resources to discover nearby, even though, I didn't want to leave this haven! The outhouse was surprisingly more pleasant than regular campground bathrooms. Mystic Meadows is truly a magical place to unplug and recharge. There are hiking trails and some games and a hammock. Wendy is an incredible host and I will be back many more times. Best birthday gift I ever gave myself! Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Secluded Mitchel River Camping

Wonderful place. Tanner is a great communicator, place is easy to find but be prepared to lose cell signal near it.

3 nights at The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

Loved the little cabin. We were skeptical about the shower situation but it ended up being great. The view from the cabin was beautiful and we were close by a lot of pretty hikes.

Weekend Trip to The Farm at Long Creek

Had such a fun time! Site was very private and away from all the hustle and bustle (couldn’t hear anything but nature). Host was attentive and brought us extra firewood :) property had well managed trails and our dogs enjoyed their off leash privileges. 10/10 would camp again!

1 night at Secluded Mitchel River Camping

It was a great site! Stars were very visible and the sound of the creek in the back was nice.

1 night at Secluded Mitchel River Camping

This was a nice site and I loved it here it was right off the road but it was still private and it was perfect having river right there and there was no one there when I stayed which made it even better. There’s a cute cabin if u keep on going past the campsite which was really more private and next time I’m I area I’ll get the cabin instead. There’s only issues I had were the directions to the place . There’s no signal once you get off the main rd so maps kept rerouting me and there’s no directions directly on hip camp so I had to turn around several time I finally found it . Either way great spot to stay

Queen size bed with sheets, comforter and pillows. Battery operated lights.

Very private. Babbling creek all night. Wonderful host that will engage or leave you be. Great spot for deep connection. Shower house close and convenient. It's the perfect spot of getting away and reconnecting all at once . 20 out of 10.

Weekend Trip to The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

What a fantastic spot. Off the grid and amazing owners!

Weekend Trip to Marshall Creek Farm

Great spot and perfect for our trip to see Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock!

3 nights at The Farm at Long Creek

This place was absolutely perfect! We had such a fun time camping, canoeing, and exploring the woods! The stars were gorgeous at night and we could hear the frogs and the barred owl calls. Couldn’t have asked for a better camping destination! We were able to drive right up to the camp site and had plenty of room to relax and explore.

3 nights at The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

The little cabin was so cute! The bed was comfy and there was enough room in the loft for our 9 YO to sleep at the foot of the bed on their sleeping pad. The electric heater was helpful during the cold night. The wood stove was fun to cook on. The outhouse was perfect - it was the first time we had used a compost toilet. The swing and all the hammocks were fun. The outdoor fire pit was perfect for cooking and s'mores. The open space was perfect for frisbee. All the little touches were so thoughtful. The signage was great! And the night lights were perfectly timed. We loved walking to Abbot's Creek. We loved seeing the animals. It was all so lovely.

2 nights at Mystic Meadow Love Shack

If you need a place to relax and set your worries down, look now further. The Mystic Meadow Love Shack is perfect in all the ways. It's cozy, charming and quiet. The location is tucked away and beautiful, yet close to other areas to hike and explore if you feel inclined to do so. Lots of attention to detail and touches of whimsy. Wendy was a very welcoming and communicative host. As a solo female camper, I felt completely safe. It was a wonderful stay and I'm already planning when I can return.

Weekend Trip to The Farm at Long Creek

We had a great time! The hosts have water (and wood if purchased) ready for campers when they arrive. Really nice, clean area to hangout and plenty of spots to set up tents. We appreciated the wood, water, & watercloset available.

3 nights at Marshall Creek Farm

We had such a relaxing time! The burbling little creek by the site provided a lovely backdrop for stargazing. We also enjoyed the nightly chorus of frogs. Quiet place except for a few trucks rolling by on the road.

Weekend Trip to The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

What an awesome site!! The host is super friendly and welcoming. The property is gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

Such an awesome, cozy cabin with a great morning view. Brought 10 people, purchased the tent site and the cabin. They allowed us to tent in front of the cabin. They provided us fire wood and we had a great time. Lovely, friendly host. Will come again!

1 night at The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

Very kind people. They've got me wanting to install an outside shower on my own property one day, it was very nice even on a night of 61 degrees. The area with platforms is very private, dimly lit with assorted solar lights, and very quiet. Close drive to grocery stores and places to eat. I'll definitely stay again if I'm ever passing through again.

My farm had been untouched for years and only used as hay farming. It is rolling hills known by the locals as "Butterfly Hill" Which the farm is home to many species of butterflies in the summer. I know the area was inhabited by native Americans many decades ago. I have found a few broken arrow heads over the years. The farm is beautiful and quiet. I have a beautiful hiking trail around the property for you to take your fur babies on. The cabin is right on a beautiful stream too. There are several state parks nearby and river tubing within 10 -30 minutes. Hot showers and potable water just a few feet away.
