Creekside cottage within walking distance Of Falls & 4 State Parks within 9 ml.
Quiet creek-side cottage on 2 1/2 acres with the creek running 30 feet from the porch. As you pass through our gate, the sound of the rushing creek welcome you to our tranquil cabin. Woods that cradle the house on three sides and the creek steps away from our screened porch offer you the perfect chance to truly relax and unwind, enjoying the sounds of the Eastatoee Creek rushing over the rocks (as you sleep in one of the three newly renovated bedrooms), will provide you with one of the best night's sleep. Enjoy the morning with a freshly brewed cup of coffee on the porch, where hummingbirds gather for breakfast and the often visiting deer and wild turkey. After breakfast, keep up with your family and friends on our internet. Take a short walk to the famous, spectacular Twin Falls, spend the day splashing in the creek, or read in our lounger. Long Shoals Roadside Park is only a 10-minute drive from the cabin on scenic Hwy. 11, where you can enjoy sliding down a large rock into a cool mountain stream. Take a night-trip trout fishing on Lake Jocassee with James Couch, or take the family on a spectacular day trip only 6.2 miles from the cabin. Travel to picturesque Cashiers or Highlands, known for their boutique shops, or take the kids rafting on the Nantahala river, horseback riding at the Pisgah Forest Riding Stables, or a scenic steam train ride through the Great smokies mountains in Bryson City. Sports fans can conveniently travel to "root on" either the Clemson Tigers or Furman Paladins to a victory! In the fall, drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the beautiful foliage, or ski Sapphire or Maggie Valley in the winter. Whether you choose to spend your days at our cozy cabin or wish to venture out on daily excursions, we believe we've provided the perfect cabin. Our Fiber Optic fast speed internet can help you find and review all the beautiful places nearby.

Absolutely Amazing! Everything you could possibly want in a house for a family vacation! Very welcoming, cozy, peaceful and relaxing! We will definitely stay again!
This property and house were perfect for a quiet family vacation. The kids loved the creek and the swing, and there was plenty of good dry wood for evening fires. Also the only rental I’ve stayed at with properly sharp kitchen knives!
This cabin is truly lovely with a bit of nostalgia of my youth. Every item you could think of was available. If you want to “be present” and enjoy the nature around you (babbling stream, short walk to Twin Falls & numerous waterfalls in the area) this cabin is highly recommended. Melanie was wonderful with communicating with us with prompt responses..p.s. if you love to drive sport cars, this place is ideal for nearby “twisting” roads..

Thank you for your review of our home. You are right there are some fun roads around .
Excellent quiet location right on the creek! House had everything you need. Host was great, very quick to respond to all questions! Short hike to twin falls was beautiful. Perfect spot for our family—would definitely stay there again!

Vince, you're absolutely right about the creek being so near the hearing its sounds makes this place really special. Thanks for your review. Melanie
Very welcoming, always responsive. We had a wonderful stay here. The peaceful woods, the sound of the creek, and the winding mountain roads made this a truly special getaway. Something nice about going outdoors early morning and not hearing anything but critters. We loved watching the wildlife and just slowing down for a few days. It was exactly what we needed.
We had a great time on our 2 night trip. Wsh we had more time there. The cabin was so clean and homey. Loved the creek outside and the waterfalls that are within walking distance were fabulous!We didnt have any issues while we were there so we didn't have to contact the host during the trip. But we did text before we got there and the host was very quick to respond. All in all we had a WONDERFUL experience there and would definitely go back.
Beautiful property and home gives you a relaxed feeling for your stay!! We spent days hiking at nearby parks and evenings sitting on the porch or out by the fire pit listening to the stream!! Great place to unwind !!

Fantastic home for a family getaway. Loved the large table/bar in the kitchen and plenty of comfy beds. Close to three different state parks for hiking and lake fun, and of course the waterfalls and creeks right at the property. Highly recommend!

Andrea,
I really appreciate you sharing how our home is conveniently located near all the parks and waterfalls, as well as beautiful Lake Jocassee. It’s great that you mentioned our comfy beds too—everyone deserves a good night’s sleep!
Thank you again for your support!
Best,
Melanie
We really enjoyed staying here, it is a great place. The location is beautiful, in the country, the creek running by, we enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch, roast marshmallows/hot dogs on the fire, and fishing in the creek (which was successful, but mostly small suckers). The house was spacious for the 5 of us. The home reminded me of my grandmothers house. We walked from the house to the waterfall which was lovely and spent the day at Lake Jocassee. Would stay here again.

Erika,
Please do come back. Thank you for leaving our home so nice
We had a delightful stay here! The cabin is so well stocked & thoughtfully arranged with ample seating, inside & out - would be great for a couple of larger families to enjoy together. The highlight for us was the creek - such lovely sounds to enjoy all day and night. Our senior dog loved being in the creek; it was his favorite place. Twin Falls was a fun outing - loved it being so close. We enjoyed all the hummingbirds and butterflies, too. Melanie is a great host, so responsive and kind. We’d definitely come back!

This was an excellent place to stay. So peaceful right next to the stream. Very near a beautiful waterfall. Hostess was very helpful. Although cell service & internet was very spotty in the area, the owners give you WiFi access. My granddaughter & I had a wonderful time. Very clean, very relaxing

Thats special! Thanks for booking our home for this occasion.
The cabin is just beautiful in such a remote place very nice, beds are comfortable, my husband caught some brook trout, we had a great time, the only negative thing was i had to wash every dish we used, but there are so many to keep track of for the cleaning person, nothing needed ty so much

Julie,
I am glad that you enjoyed you stay. I am sorry that you found a dish or two not cleaned .I do have a lot of dishes , a service for 12 which might be a little over the top. But I am gLad everything else was perfect.
I can’t say enough good things about this sweet cottage. The creek running through the front yard, the fire pit, the fact that it was the owner’s grandparents and there were signs everywhere of many years of love lived out here.. butterflies, hummingbirds and the sounds of rushing water.. I didn’t want to leave! My family loved it :) and our LSU Tigers beat Clemson so.. it was a win/win

About the host
Hosted by Melanie Bryan
Retired dental assistant and Shop owner. Engaged to a wonderful retired policeman, I have three children, two boys and a girl. I live in Fla. And enjoy spending my spare time in Ga. at my brothers home and at our cottage in S.C.
Why they chose this property
My grandfather meet my grandmother in Pickens S.C and married her. They moved to Florida. All her family still lived in S.C. so he purchased this home for her to be able to go back and visit her family. When they go older he passed it down to my father and mother where we enjoyed many summers vacations. As my children were growing up I took them up there every summer. I have never missed a summer up at our home since I was six and hope to be able to do this till I have to pass our beautiful cabin down to my children. .
What makes this property unique
The cabin is located within 30 feet of the creek and Twin Falls is in walking distance from our front door. The falls have a parking area if you would like to drive around the corner to the falls instead of walking. The valley has beautiful views of the mountains. In Pickens (30 minutes away) on Wednesday they have Jockey Lot flea market just like the old fashion ones, lots of antique things and many different thing that you don't come across at regular flea markets. There is a nice park just 10 Minutes down the road, call Loan Shoal. were you can sit on the big bold rocks or slide down the long rock in to the big pool of cold water at the bottom.
