Peaceful place to land during busy times

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this peaceful setting. We had a busy weekend of celebrating with family, but this location gave us a place to land in between activities to rest and gear up for the next round. We appreciated how clean and comfortable the hosts made our stay feel. Would definitely recommend this retreat to anyone coming to the Greenville area and we hope to be back!

Grad weekend home base

Great to stay with our all our kids in one location where my youngest graduation from college. It was a very pleasant location and warm place to stay and we really enjoyed it. We would come back again without question as this placement all our needs. Only room for change would be to request that the preprogram thermostat temperature be turned off while we are there as it is hard to keep comfortable temperature when it continues to go back to the program.

We had an excellent stay at The Retreat in the Woods! The cabin was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as advertised. It was peaceful and secluded while still being just a short drive from downtown Travelers Rest and nearby attractions. The bed was comfortable, the amenities were great, and the property was well maintained. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The property was very clean and cozy. We were able to get everything we needed to stock the house from a grocery store nearby, which was convenient. We did have an issue with the A/C, but the host was very responsive and helped us fix it quickly! We loved being in a safe, rural area that was still close to the downtown area. We’d stay here again.
