Great mountain getaway

I couldn't be happier with the experience/stay. The homeowner was more than accommodating and hospitable. Simple check-in the views are beautiful. Mountains and state parks are within minutes and restaurants are great and nearby. Will definitely plan on staying in the future.

Great place to get away from the city and just be with nature. The fire pit was perfect for s'mores and the house was well stocked. Perfect for a small quiet stay.

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.
