Cleveland – it's a class act
Cleveland is a tiny community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains that offers a charming base for vacations in South Carolina. Stunning outdoor spaces and unique attractions, not least the 11,000-acre Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area and tranquil Symmes Chapel, make it the kind of place where outdoor adventure and relaxed living come easy – perfect whether you're planning a getaway with family or friends. Looking for a place to call home during your visit? From plush pads with private pools to rustic log cabins in the mountains, you'll find Cleveland vacation rentals right up your street.
Animal magic near Cleveland
Day trip options abound for animal lovers. A short, scenic drive from most Cleveland vacation rentals, you'll find Greenville Zoo, home to Aldabra giant tortoises and Prevost's tri-colored squirrels. You might head, instead, to Hollywild Animal Park, in Wellford, or the Western North Carolina Nature Center, in neighboring Asheville. The latter offers a closer look at the diverse wildlife of the Southern Appalachians, including the critically endangered and always majestic red wolf. Of course, if you've left the kids at home, the area's vineyards and wineries provide the perfect setting for an afternoon of fine food and wine.
Seasonal highlights in Cleveland
Planning an adventure in South Carolina? Sun-drenched days make Cleveland vacation rentals a popular option over the summer months of June through August, although temperatures in the high 80s mean that both heat and humidity are on the cards. Those who prefer to enjoy the cooler days of spring find April a great time to hike, golf and cycle. Others, meanwhile, can take advantage of the seasonal drop in rental rates to admire the fiery flow of fall as it sweeps across the hardwoods of the Blue Ridge Mountains between late September and into October.
Go wild in Cleveland
Outdoor adventure comes easy in Cleveland and never more so than in the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. Put your best foot forward on epic hiking routes, including the Pinnacle Pass and Rim of the Gap trails – an energetic and sometimes knee-busting duo of routes stretching through the rugged surroundings of the Caesars Head and Jones Gap State Parks. And, should something a little more leisurely be on the agenda, the trail that winds alongside the trout-rich Middle Saluda River, before reaching the pretty Jones Gap Waterfall, serves up the chance to hike the Carolinas at your own pace.
