Peace and Solitude

This is our 6th stay and it was just as amazing as the first time. Don is an outstanding host. Staying there is like staying in the home of the family member that loves you the most. All the comforts of home with great snacks and the good shampoo. Location is great for hiking the many great trails in the area.

Great getaway!

Peaceful. We really enjoyed the location. The driveway was a beast but once up there, it was amazing! Nice little creek runs down at the bottom. My kids had a blast exploring. Communication with the owner was great. Nothing bad to say about it. We will be back! Thanks Mr. Murray!!!

Perfect for staying close to family reunion

This cabin was less than 2 miles from the home where we celebrated my mother's 90th birthday. We used the cabin strictly for extra bed space. Nonetheless, it is perfectly appointed with many, many grocery items and countless homey touches. Lots of notes of what/where to enjoy in the Pickens County area. The only caveat is that the final road to the cabin is not paved. It had been rainy, and if you are in a low-slung car or afraid of spinning tires on gravel, it might be unnerving. Strongly suggest you get there in daylight. It would be much harder to find in darkness. Otherwise, a very, very cozy stay in what you can tell is a well-cared for and appointed property. Lots of thought and care went into this!

Couldn’t want anything more!

Great location- close to table rock and private. You feel very secluded after the climb up the driveway. The house is small but very comfortable and outfitted with everything you could need for a little mountain getaway. We really enjoyed using the fire pit and having breakfast on the back porch.

About the host

Hosted by Don Murray

Host profile image
I grew up in the Southeast United States. I finished High School and College in Pensacola, Florida. I spent four years in the Marines as a crewmember in the F4, Phantom, aircraft.

I am retired from Chevron Phillips Chemical Company. My last position was a Computer Systems Analyst, mainly working on WEB applications.

After retiring, my wife and I moved to Upstate South Carolina. Since that time, I have spent most of my time building our rental cabin.

Why they chose this property

After retiring, my wife and I were looking for a place to build in the local area. After being shown this lot, I was hooked. I called my wife and told her that I must have died and gone to heaven.

What makes this property unique

The solitude and privacy is wonderful... and it is truly a wilderness setting. You can hear the creek at the bottom of the hill.
