This was one of the cleanest properties I’ve ever stayed at! The cabin had everything we needed for our weekend and was so nice and comfortable. Melissa was a fantastic host and left us with plenty of snacks and gave great insight on things to do and places to visit in the area. Everywhere was well within driving distance. So many fun things to do in the area. Will definitely be back!

If you are staying in the Walhalla area, the Blue Laurel is the only way to go! Our host Melissa was extremely communicative, and went above and beyond to make our stay as great as it was! We brought our one year old and she made sure the play pen was set up and the baby gate was ready for use! The cabin was immaculately cleaned, and there was a welcoming snack box with some great healthy options for us! Easily accessed and in a great area for hiking and mountain adventures. When we come back, we will definitely be staying here again.

Very peaceful and cozy cabin. Host communicated with us and answered all of our questions. There was a wonderful snack tray, waiting for us upon our arrival. Cabin is pet friendly and there was even a gate left in utility room that we put up on the back deck so they could stay out here with us. Cabin was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean and anything you could think of was provided. We would definitely recommend this location and host.

About the host

Hosted by MELISSA CAIN

Host profile image
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.
