About this property

Coltsfoot Cottage nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

Come enjoy the South Carolina mountains of Oconee County. Coltsfoot Cottage, located at Coltsfoot Farm, is on a small horse farm in the quaint community of Mountain Rest. We are seated at just over 1800 feet of elevation within a mile and a half from the sparkling Chattooga River. For shopping and dining, Highlands, NC, Clayton, GA and Walhalla, SC are just a short drive of 30 minutes (or less) from this unique property. Relax in beautiful mountain scenery and see astonishing sunsets. We have friendly animals including dogs, a barn cat and horses, so animal lovers will enjoy this space. We do not allow any animals into the cottage. The cottage is a guest cottage so it is situated adjacent to the main residence. No fireworks please due to the animals and risk of forest fires.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Stayed 2 nights. Fly fishing in the area. Very close to Chattooga River. On same grounds as Owners (Patrick & Jennifer) but private. Very nice couples cabin. Amazing outdoor sitting area and fireplace. Visit Chattooga River Fly Shop if you need any supplies. Great folks.

This stay was one of our top stays. Jennifer and Patrick could lead a class on how to host. Every detail was cared for and the property is incredibly lovely. Combine that with their proximity to the protected and very scenic Chatooga River and many other parks, trails and towns to visit and you have a great vacation. They provide detailed maps to help plan excursions and also advice on places to visit. I particularly enjoyed the outside areas that they have created to sit and relax. While their home is situated nearby, they have arranged their mountain top property such that you have privacy - with some truly gorgeous landscaping. Highly recommend- hope we can return.

The cottage was impressively decorated and welcoming with snacks in the kitchen! My wife enjoyed playing an LP album on the phonograph and reading through the materials available. We especially appreciated the book on waterfalls in the area, as that was part of the reason for our visit. We met the hosts and enjoying watching Patrick feed the 3 horses and tell us about the canine welcoming committee, Foxy and Hank. It's a great place to visit!

Beautiful Getaway

First off, the communication with the owners was fantastic and they were so sweet to have a fire already lit for us when we arrived late at night and some muffins for breakfast. The cottage is beautifully done and we would definitely come back if we ever get back this way. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to get a peaceful hideaway in the area.

Wonderful place to get away from it all! Really had a great time doing a lot of not much at all:) well appointed cabin in a natural setting. Loved everything about it and the location is perfect for whatever you want or need including dining out or getting into the woods and getting away from it all. Will be back !

Property and owners are great. Cottage is very unique and original. Layout of the farm is great and very peaceful. Cottage is close to main house, but the back porch, patio and fireplace are mostly secluded.

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay here at Coltsfoot. Very peaceful and quiet. Patrick and Jennifer were great hosts. We barely even knew they were at their main house on the property. On the first night when we arrived, my wife tested the Keurig and found out it wasn't working correctly, which honestly wasn't even a big deal. Before she woke up the next morning they brought us a new one. When we arrived we were greated by the true hosts. 2 dogs and 1 cat. All of which were very sweet and just wanted to meet the new people. The back patio/fireplace was as great place to watch the sunset each evening and catch a nap in the hammock.Before we left we were already taking about when we would try and come back.
