About this property
EXCEPTIONAL, SUPER CLEAN! IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE BLUE RIDGE MTN.! NO ANIMALS!
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AND THE POSTED RENTAL AGREEMENT (WHICH SHOULD POP UP AT BOOKING BEFORE PAYMENT) BEFORE BOOKING. We enforce our rental agreement! WE SUGGEST YOU GET TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR THOSE UNEXPECTED TRAVEL SURPRISES. This description is to help you decide if this property is a good fit for you.
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. is under a mile from downtown Pickens and near the NC and Georgia borders. Pickens is close to Greenville, Anderson, Clemson University, Bob Jones University, Golfing at The Rock at Table Rock, Lake Keowee, Jocassee State Park, Jones Gap, close to Greenville International Airport. The neighborhood is extremely quiet, and the many trees on the property provide lots of privacy! Duvets are all season down simulated, are encased in an allergy duvet cover. All pillows on beds are also encased in allergy cases. The mattress is encased in an allergy barrier with another fitted cotton barrier on top. The number of made beds will correspond with the number of people at the time of booking - for example: married couple, one bed unless a request for two is made. All decorative pillows are down simulated as well. There's an LG TV for streaming, watching DVDs on LG DVD player, or air antenna TV. The backyard is spacious, and provides lots of privacy, while enjoying the fire pit in the yard. Spend a quiet evening relaxing on the deck sipping wine while listening to the sounds of the night, or on the front porch in the morning listening to the birds while enjoying your coffee . There's plenty of FREE parking in the driveway, and FREE WiFi to all guests for your entire stay! Complimentary snacks upon arrival. There is a dual GE water filtration system for filtered water at the sink. In addition there is limited breakfast fare in the freezer/fridge, K-cups, ground coffee, teas and hot beverages; once exhausted, you will need to supply your own. Let us know if you're celebrating a special occasion!! :-) TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. DOES NOT permit smoking or ANIMALS anywhere on the property; No exceptions as owners are highly/deathly allergic, and has severe asthma! You WILL be billed the cost for processing if this rule is violated; it costs thousands of dollars to make it safe again for owners. WE DO NOT SPEED WASH LINENS; they go through a full cycle, extra rinses and a laundry disinfectant is used in every wash! From the mattress pad, everything on the bed, both the shower curtain/liner, door mats, blankets, pillows, pen/pencils, fan chains and blades, lamp/switches, info binders and all pages, floors, door jambs and surrounding walls, inside of windows and their locks, and much more, is either washed or sanitized! All living room furniture is wiped down as well as the table and chairs in the kitchen. The return air vent has a HEPA filter, and an organic Thymol fogger is used for the duct system; there are filters in every register which are cleaned between each guest. Everything in the spice pantry is disinfected for the next guest as well as the fridge itself and its contents. The ice bin and tongs are washed between each guest and filled with fresh ice along with fresh ice in each ice tray - THE ICE IS MADE WITH TRIPLE FILTERED WATER! The outsides of snack packages which are in their baskets are wiped along with the basket as we assume THEY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. If the table has a tablecloth and has been set, everything is clean, and the table was set the day before your arrival; feel free to make full use of them; please do not worry about soiling the tablecloth (if there's one) as it gets washed between guests. We don't just pay attention to the big cleaning stuff; we remember the tiny details as well. We have sets of linen for beds so they may vary from what is shown in pictures. Please note that although the listing says contact-less check in; owners will stop by after your inspection of the property to say hello and make sure you are satisfied with the accommodation. We are only a few doors away....really. This is the country, watch out for wild life, watch where you step, and please remember, as with the operating of any exterior door open, bugs will get in - it's nature :-) IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND DOCUMENTS TO US , WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST BUT YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO US IN ORDER FOR US TO HELP YOU! For US citizens/ residents only: 10% discount off the nightly rate for Seniors 65+, veterans, active and retired, and SC residents. These discounts do not apply to promotional rates. Please note one discount per booking. Read the posted rental agreement and ask questions before booking. Extra chairs can be found in the bedrooms :-)
WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE. Thank you, and have an awesome day!

About the host
Hosted by Sandra and William Fox
We wanted to start a vacation rental, not just any vacation rental, but one where someone like Sandra can stay. Sandra is a highly allergic person (death could be involved) and a severe asthmatic, finding homes when traveling is a serious chore and as we discovered not many owners are able to rent to us! TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt is totally geared for her to be in and sleep in; we vacation on our own property! lol! Why bother, because people like Sandra also like to travel but find it super difficult. Sandra is a photographer, and has many pieces hanging throughout the cottage - which are for sale. THIS PROPERTY HAS A STRICT NO SMOKING/NO PETS/ANIMALS, POLICY; OWNERS SUPER ALLERGIC, AND SEVERE ASTHMATIC!!!
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is quiet, the mountains are beautiful, and the Southern hospitality rocks! The cottage is super clean; THIS PROPERTY HAS A STRICT NO SMOKING/NO PETS/ANIMALS POLICY; OWNERS SUPER ALLERGIC/ONE IS A SEVERE ASTHMATIC AND DEATHLY ALLERGIC!!
What makes this property unique
TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. is private, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, quiet, close to waterfalls, lakes, and much more! THIS PROPERTY HAS A STRICT NO SMOKING/NO PETS POLICY; OWNERS SUPER ALLERGIC!!
