Riverfront cabin on Chauga River "Boarhogs Place"

Our cabin is located on the Chauga River and is very private. There is a great swimming hole to relax in or you can sit by the river, or just sit on the porch because it is right in the back yard. This is a perfect location if you are interested in river rafting (Chattooga River rafting is nearby), if you enjoy hiking, fishing or just enjoy the outdoors this is the place for you. We are close to Clemson, Cashiers NC, Highlands NC and Clayton GA and Chattooga Belle Farms. Hope to host you soon!!

The pictures do not do this property justice! There is a lot beside the house that we were able to set some tents up for an additional fee, a fire pit and the creek was a fun lazy river and a swimming hole. The host even brought us floats and water shoes to borrow. We will be back again!

Excellent stay from start to finish. Communication with the owner was clear, timely, and well-organized, which made everything easy. The property is exactly as advertised, but the small details the owner put in place noticeably improved the experience.The river is the highlight. It provided for a peaceful setting, easy access, and great fishing (we caught plenty). The campfire area right along the river is well-positioned, and the open landing space gave us room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.Will return without hesitation!

We had a wonderful weekend at Boarhogs Place. Kay was very quick to communicate and very accommodating. The house was perfect and had everything we needed. I especially appreciated all the extra toiletries and coffee provided. The host was very thoughtful. My husband loved fishing in the river and we got to make the memory of our daughter catching her first fish. We will definitely stay again!

A Lovely Mountain Stream Stay

This mountain stream cabin surpassed expectations! It's in a wonderful location with a nice variety of activities in the nearby area, and lots of games and equipment for use on the property. It is very nicely furnished and immaculate. We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor porch listening to the water passing by every night!

1. Very little privacy. People walking outside the house on road just 10 feet from master bedroom window. 2. In the back yard people walking in and out of waterway through the property.3. Bathroom sink was out of order.Could not use it to brush my teeth and had to use kitchen sink.4. Ramp from the river to up hill to the house was not easy to carry fishing gear. 5. Plus to grill you would need to carry all the food up and down this hill.Not easy for seniors.

I’m sorry you weren’t pleased with your stay. We had guest at other places and they all use the river and swimming hole plus I live on the same road and walk to my mailbox. All the windows have privacy shades on them. As far as the sink you should have reached out immediately for us to come take care of the issue.
