A beautiful cabin in the woods with a wonderful charcuterie bowl left in the refrigerator for us to enjoy, after a day of activities. The property was very well maintained with various outside activities.

We have been to a lot of cabins. This was by far the nicest and best cabin we have ever stayed at. The host is top tier we were coming in late, she checked in on us and turned the porch lights on for us. The cabin was super clean very well stocked and beautifully decorated truly made you feel at home. It’s very easy to find yet very private plenty of parking. Only draw back was having to leave. This will be our go to cabin from now on. The stump hole tail system is very close and a great hike, with awesome mountain biking too. You will not be disappointed here.

This cabin is enchanted! Just perfect, and the setting is gorgeous. I expected Disney singing animals to come out of the woods - LOL. The cabin itself is wonderful. Super clean and welcoming. Great communication with Melissa. My husband and I enjoyed 2 nights, after attending a Clemson football game. A very scenic area. We enjoyed Sunday lunch at the Steak House Cafeteria in Walhalla. It was awesome. I highly recommend this property. We will be returning! Thanks Melissa for a memorable stay!

Fantastic find!

This beautiful mountain cabin feels like you are tucked away from the world without actually being in a remote location. It felt like a combination between a mountain cabin and bed & breakfast. The hosts truly go above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Custom 2-story home built by the owners with much love. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We have always loved traveling and staying in different accommodations and so we built one of our own!

Why they chose this property

Mountain Rest is a quiet, secluded area of Oconee County, SC. It borders Georgia and North Carolina. Centrally located to many parks, rivers and trails make it a great getaway to just relax and enjoy the natural surroundings and wildlife. The cabin is far enough off the road to be quiet and secluded, but also close enough to catch a glimpse of a variety of group vehicle rides as it is located right off of Hwy 28, also known as the Moonshine Highway.

What makes this property unique

A quiet, semi secluded cabin. Great for a couples, girls get-away or working destination retreat. Located in the mountains but still close enough to visit many local towns to shop, eat, and explore.
