About this property

The Backyard Bungalow On The Trail -just minutes from downtown

This unique stay is a short distance from the popular Swamp Rabbit bike trail and Swamp Rabbit Cafe.
Ideally located between downtown Greenville and downtown Travelers Rest, our quaint tiny home getaway is nestled in the historic Union Bleachery neighborhood and has it’s own private entrance off the back drive.
It is just a hop, skip and a jump from the Swamp Rabbit Trail, a bike trail running between Travelers Rest and Greenville along the old Swamp Rabbit Rail Line. Guests can actually gain access to the trail from the paved Lakeview Link that leads from Lakeview Middle School in the neighborhood to the trail. Also nearby is Furman University with their famous Clock Tower and garden paths.
This is also a great location with a short drive if you plan to attend one of the many concerts or productions in downtown Greenville.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This bungalow has everything a person needs. It’s very cute and very clean. It is a small space, but all necessities were thoughtfully provided for. As a solo traveler I felt safe there, and the outside was well lit.

Convenient location near Swamp Rabbit Trail

What a great place to stay for walkers or bicyclists planning to walk/ride the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The house is near the middle of the trail with easy access. Cute decor and super host.

Cozy Bungalow by the Trail

We loved how thoughtful and well designed this tiny house was. We went to Greenville to check out the bike trail and use our new e-bikes - this location was convenient, clean and super sweet.

Vacation success!

We were so blessed to stay at the bungalow! It provided the perfect cozy retreat for my husband and I! Valia and Joel were so accommodating and willing to be flexible due to some unfortunate weather that came up through both of our cities. Thank you for the hospitality!

Backyard Bungalow

Although it’s a very small place, it sleeps three very comfortable as advertised. They provide a very comfortable cot and a spacious bed that sleeps two. Everything was clean and the decorations were very Qwaint. Great getaway and a wonderful location. Highly recommend you check it out.

Nice down time

We road the swamp rabbit trail several times and it was a blast. Not hilly at all and places to eat/browse along the way. The tiny house, emphasis on tiny, where we stayed was delightful. Lots of quirky art work, mostly created by the owners, were most enjoyable. While the owners made good use of the space it is still very intimate. All in all we enjoyed our stay and plan to come again.

Backyard Bungalow

The location was amazing. It had two extremely close and easy ways to jump on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The space was clean, excellent linens and decorated in amazing ways (think I want to redecorate after being there). A private marked parking spot by the door and well lit. Extra linens, towels and supplies just in case. We cannot wait to return!!!

Perfect for the Night

We stayed just one night and it was perfect. Very clean. Well organized. Easy in and out. Water pressure was great. And after a long day drive and staying up late for a concert in the downtown area coming back to a super quiet area was the best. I got a great nights sleep because the bed was not to soft and not to firm or squeaky. Temperature was easily controlled and it was super dark. Woke up ready for the long drive home.
