Shamrock House:Historic Log Cabin, Servant's Quarters, Cottage with trout stream

Please watch the video! It's a beautiful introduction to this property! Link for video https://youtu.be/V8db_WzCen4
Minimum number of nights for rental is seasonal with summer and holidays being peak. Select calendar dates for requirements.
The creek that borders the property is approx. 10-15ft across, constantly flowing, good for fishing, wading, or just cooling off!)
The cabin is part of the South Carolina Heritage Corridor!

Former family compound built circa 1925 consisting of 3 cabins:
Standard Booking - Includes The Shamrock House (main cabin), Bunk House, & Trout House - Sleeps up to 24 (2 additional if using mattresses provided under beds in Bunk House and Trout House)
Standard Pricing as shown on VRBO is for ALL 3 cabins! Contact me for questions on sleeping arrangements for your group.

Main Cabin - Sleeps 6 adults comfortably (1 additional child could sleep in loft area)
The Bunk House - Sleeps 7

The property has an interesting history. We believe it was the first home in the area to have electricity (powered by a water-wheel at the back of the property, some remnants of that structure remain). The home was used as a place for travelers passing thru the area to stop and get a good night's rest. Of course, every old home has a ghost story. The weeping sound of Nancy the Ghost is claimed to be heard on occasion, we can’t confirm or deny her presence...but we are pretty sure Nancy is a friendly gal and her "weeping" is just the sounds of the old house creaking.
We can confirm that former US President LBJ was a guest. He liked it and we believe you will as well. For details, contact Scott.

Location: Yes...it is in the mountains, not rolling foothills. Ceasar's Head and Table Rock are just a few miles down the road from The Shamrock House, as well as many, many waterfalls, hiking, biking, tubing, whitewater rafting...you name it!
For recreation on the property, we have a basketball goal, a game of horseshoes, and several open meadows where the kids can play whatever sport they enjoy (just bring your gear)...or just relax in a hammock!

The property is located in the Rocky Bottom area of Sunset, Upcountry, South Carolina, approximately halfway between Pickens, South Carolina and Brevard, North Carolina on Highway 178 (an easy 30 minute drive to Brevard). The cabin is approximately seven miles north of Highway 11, the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway.

Drive time from Atlanta or Charlotte ~ 2.5 hrs
from Asheville ~ 1 hr

Special Features: Equipped kitchens, outdoor (park style) grills, basketball goal, horseshoe pits, picnic tables, smart TV & Wifi in main cabin, trout stream, wildlife (beavers, turkey, deer, bear and other critters).

Dates Available: Year round.

Disclaimer: This property is "in the sticks." Although there are convenience stores a short drive down the road, and small towns within a 20-25 minute drive, please be aware that this area is remote. The main cabin is almost 100 yrs old and all 3 cabins are rustic. We work hard to keep everything dust-free and clean, but the nature of the property (and mother nature around the property) can change things overnight. Be advised, the Shamrock house is NOT disability friendly, some of the outdoor steps around the property are natural stone and if you have mobility issues this property may not be a good fit.

A great weekend. We did an amateur ghost investigation and enjoyed a nice place to relax. Morning coffee on the porch was a blessing.

Roomy home for large family gatherings!

Property description very accurate. Was rustic for sure, but in a good way. Communication with host was great, he was quick to respond and very helpful. Great location and very spacious for large family gatherings. Fire pit was put to use! Recommend bringing chairs for additional outdoor seating around fire.

Weekend mountain getaway

We stayed for the weekend to fish & kayak at local lakes. This property was perfect for our weekend family trip. We had already read the property description and reviews and were prepared for the mountain landscape between the cabins, cellular service, etc. We were looking for an authentic rustic log cabin experience and the beautiful main cabin is just that. We loved the wide wrap around porch, the fire pits, of course the intriguing history of the cabin. We did experience some interesting activity and plan to return in the future!

What A Perfect Family Vacation

We had 18 and did not feel crowded. Hiking up and down the stream and playing in the cool was stellar. The kitchen was great at the Trout House for all to gather for meals. Nearby Sliding Rock and tubing and trails kept us happy. I will bring a big cooking pot next time!

Great family retreat

Property is excellent for activities and had plenty of room for all the family. The place is rustic and has that feeling of being at camp in the mountains. If you are expectingh that new mountain rental cabin then this is not it but it is nice has great WiFi, satellite tv, and perfect for us. Having 3 separate areas was nice for our big family. We enjoyed this property and hope to return again.

Good cabin in the wood's.

This is a good cabin in the woods with a lot of activity available, if you like outdoors stuff. The main cabin is likely haunted and 4 separate people had ghostly encounters so know that going in. Other than that it's a great place.

Shamrock House, Sassafras Mountain

Interesting historical property. Beautiful tall trees all around the house. Many great hiking trails and other outdoor activities close by. Remote location, but we found groceries and other shopping in Brevard, NC (about 25-minute drive north).

Spacious and comfy

The property and houses worked well for our weekend club retreat. Meals and group gatherings in the Shamrock House. Camp fires at night. If you go during cold weather (30s or below) the Shamrock House stays in the low 60s at best so bundle up.

Mountain Adventure

We enjoyed exploring the area. Sassafras Mountain was wonderful and the cabin was so close it was easy to hike, run, or drive there. Shamrock house was a little dark inside because of all the trees, but that also helped to keep it cool. The three cabins were able to accommodate our family comfortably and give quiet sleeping areas for the children. It is rustic, but that is also stated in the rental description.

Back in time

This was an amazing property to visit. The main house makes you feel like you are stepping back in time to a remote retreat. The Porches are wonderful. The rock walkways between the houses add lots of character. Everyone in our group was able to find a private space on this property. The host was also very accommodating and communication was excellent. Come unplug and slow down here!

Shamrock House

It was a great place and was perfect for the amount of people we had staying there. It is a beautiful area. The cabins were neat and clean. Nothing major at all wrong except the online video is a little outdated as far as the area where the benches are...they were not usable and one rotted board outside one of the doors that we had to be careful of but i let the owners know. Definitely give it 5 stars and would recommend it to others!!

Family stay

We had plenty of room. But steep steps between parking and houses was undesirable. Locks were not very secure. Kitchen better in trout house than main house was hindering for meal planning. Light bulb out in bunk house. Then a Light came on in night by itself so we think there is a wiring issue. Groups traveling should not be expected to carry trash with them. I appreciate the exception made for us. We had packed cars. It was noisy due to lots of motorcycles in area!! We really enjoyed the fire pit and wood supply. The appliances were great. The air worked great. WiFi was very good for most of us. There was a mouse in main house one night. Loved the big front porch but needed more seats for family grouping.we used our camp chairs.

Very unique and historical location

We were looking for a place to that could accommodate 12 people with pets and a hot tub. Without absolutely breaking the bank. Every time I plugged the information in it kept bring up the Shamrock House minus the hot tub. The cost was very reasonable and the accomodations to sleep as many people as we had was perfect with the multiple houses. It was much more that we expected. Everyone was over the top excited about the history of the house and the whole location not to mention the lore of Nancy the ghost. We all had our different experiences as we explored the property and will definitely go back again.

The Haunted House

The teenage grandchildren had looked on line and read about Nancy’s ghost. We had so much fun with that angle.We all enjoyed exploring the grounds, standing around the campfire and hiking up Sassafras Mountain. We found the amenities were adequate, the only downside was the frozen bodies that spent the night in the living room in the main house. Fortunately, one of my sons came up the next day with space heaters and they did the trick. All in all it was. great few days.

Family ghost hunting trip!

We all wanted to come catch a glimpse of "Nancy" the resident ghost, especially on a Friday the 13th. Unfortunately, she did not appear, but other "spirits" did, especially around the camp fire at night.....lol. We had 16 family members and all had a great time! The main house is a true log cabin, which meant it was cold most of the time as we went in January during a really cold weekend. So, plan that accordingly for your trip. We had lots of laughs, food and fun. Would definitely recommend and go again! The owner/host was the most accommodating. We really enjoyed ourselves! Thanks for a great weekend!

Update description, make repairs

We did not find the Shamrock House property to be as well-maintained and equipped for visitors as the advertisement led us to believe. On the positive side, the main house is dramatically rustic, with a ā€œgreat roomā€ that is ideal for gatherings of people. The heating system does a good job (at least down into the 50s F) at keeping the main room warm. On the downside, a real woodburning fireplace was a main consideration for our winter get-together. The website asserts that there are fireplaces, but in fact they are shams fitted with unvented(!) gas logs; the chimneys are sealed. The remote control for the gas logs was missing, and we elected not to use them. Upstairs bedrooms get too cold at night unless the heat is left on and doors are left partially open. No extra blankets.The TV and DVD player were not usable due to a lack of suitable cables. The kitchen in the main house is not suitable for serious cooking for any number of guests. The electrified woodstove lacks proper instructions and has controls that are only partially functional. The dishes are Melamine, not supposed to go into a microwave or dishwasher. No practical way to wash dishes that won’t fit into the dishwasher. At least one fire extinguisher has low pressure and would be useless in case of fire,Shower valves in both bathrooms are disintegrating.

Shamricj

The property was absolutely beautiful except for the driveway and walkways were trip hazards. The porch can not be used at all. Someone is going to get very hurt. The place was not cleaned very well at all. Hair left in beds so bedding wasnt washed in bunk house. I could go on honestly but im not going to waste my time.

My wife and I are the proud parents of the most precious gift from God, our son Nolan. We love to travel when our schedules allow. Sharon is a dental hygienist and I work as an engineer. We both grew up in Augusta, GA and love the outdoors!

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

My life-long dream has always been to own a cabin in the mountains. I literally searched for years, and never could find a place that "checked all of the boxes"...until I found The Shamrock House. We fell in love with the charm and history of the property, and look forward to creating memories at this wonderful place. We are forever indebted to the previous owner, who renovated the buildings and grounds to bring the property back to its former glory, and now you have an opportunity to enjoy the results.

O que faz essa propriedade ser Ćŗnica?

It is truly unique. The grounds cover 10 acres bordered by Rocky Bottom Creek and the Jocassee Gorges Heritage Preserve. There are extensive stone walls and walks laid down in the 1920's and many specimen sized trees. Many different wild flowers can be seen throughout out the growing season including rare Oconee Bells and Trillium's. The main cabin is constructed of cedar logs with American Chestnut paneling and floors. The extra large porch of the main cabin has hand made tables, chairs and swings by local artisan Bob McCall. The Trout Stream House has great views of the Bear Meadow and Rocky Bottom Creek. Locals tell tales of Nancy the Ghost who makes herself known from time to time in the main cabin (seems to be only when the adults have had a drink or two!). Maybe yes, maybe no. And, President Lyndon Johnson liked the place well enough to spend some time at The Shamrock House himself. The location is such that one can be on the Foothills Trail in less than five minutes and at Lake Keowee or Jocassee in 30 minutes, and also Brevard or Pickens in about the same time.
