Nice short getaway?
This is a quiet location and so peaceful! My teens had a great time exploring the river and we were close enough to all sorts of other great adventures to visit many places. The house was super clean with amazing views.

Perfect River Getaway
This location was absolutely beautiful and the cabin was immaculate. We had a wonderful time visiting with our friends who live nearby and having them stop in for grilling and playing by and in the river. Such a nice and peaceful place. Will definitely recommend or stay again.

Cozy cabin; great location
This cabin, nestled into the woods along the Chauga River, is a perfect spot for all of the outdoor activities available in Upstate South Carolina. Great back porch for relaxing and reading, or simply listening to the river.

Relaxing stay
We were looking for a quiet spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and this was exactly what we were looking for! We spent our days exploring waterfalls and relaxing in our hammocks along the river. We really enjoyed the coziness of the house, the campfire by the river, and a quick trip for rolled ice cream. Would highly recommend!

Lovely Easter Get-away
My husband, our youngest daughter and I came into town for a lovely Easter getaway from the noise of Charleston. We have a lovely time enjoying nature and the sights and sounds of the river. We throughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again! Many thanks!

Quaint Retreat
This was the most adorable and peaceful place I have ever stayed. I loved hearing the river and the large windows with such a beautiful view. Everything was cozy and clean. The bed was the most comfortable bed I had ever slept on. I truly enjoyed every minute I was there and wish I had been able to spend more time. I didn't get any phone service while at the property but it was actually nice because it forced me not to use it and I could just relax and be at peace. I hope to stay again.
