About this property
Quaint two bedroom cabin just a few steps away from and on Mountain Rest Lake.
Description
Relax and enjoy the deck of this beautiful cabin or take a kayak or the canoe out on the water. Wake up and watch the morning come alive overlooking the lake from the living room and watch the sun going down each evening. Kitchen is fully equipped. The deck is perfect to grill dinner on the charcoal grill and enjoy the lake views. We have the best view on the lake.
Wireless internet included. Just use your own accounts to access the many apps such as Netflix, Amazon movies, Hulu and many more. Also many DVD are available for your use, most are for children and youth.
Kids indoor games and toys are available.
Come stay with us and enjoy our little slice of heaven on Mountain Rest Lake.
Here is a list of things to do in the area, including hiking trails, a nice drive and a short diverse restaurant selection.

The Chattooga River and many hiking trails are nearby.
Yellow Branch Trail is one of our favorite regular hikes. It’s close by and takes about 2 hours in and out to the waterfall by we usually spend about 3 hours due to playing in the falls.
Across the road from Yellow Branch is Stump House Tunnel. Bring flashlight. Once in the park the tunnel is to the left and the waterfall is to the right. The tunnel is completely dark and is damp inside, but fun. Short hikes but nice waterfall and interesting tunnel to nowhere.
Also from our neighborhood, turn left onto Hwy 28, go to the bridge at the Chattoga River and hike upstream. I don’t know the name of this one but it’s nice and follows the river. Good fishing here also.
It’s a little drive but look up Turtle Back Falls. It’s a very nice hike along a river and passes several falls. It can be quite busy. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/north-carolina/rainbow-falls-and-turtleback-falls-trail
All about waterfalls
https://www.highlandschamber.org/surrender/waterfalls/
Just on the other side of Highlands NC, about a 40 minute drive is Hwy 64 and it has 3 waterfalls along it. Easy to get to all 3: Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, Bust your Butt Falls. Just a fun drive with easy little walks. If you just want an easy day you could drive through Highlands, see the waterfalls then drive to Clayton Ga and back to Mountain Rest Lake. Clayton traffic for about 2 miles through town can be a bear on the weekends in the fall. It’s a nice loop and there are restaurants in Clayton and Highlands.

Walhalla restaurants
We usually eat at Puerto Nuevo Mexican & Seafood Restaurant in Walhalla. Something on the menu for everyone. It’s nothing fancy but the food is good.
Dakota Grill, just down the hill towards Walhalla. Food is usually quite good. Closed for the winter season.
If you don’t mind driving a little farther (20 minutes) we like Paesano's Italian Restaurant in Seneca.
Enjoy!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Margaret Harrison

We are the Harrison family. My husband, 2 sons and I love going to the lake as often as we can. We live in Augusta Georgia but love Mountain Rest Lake! Fishing, swimming and paddling a boat around the lake are our favorite things to do.
Why they chose this property
We used to camp nearby to visit my mother and sister that both live on Mountain Rest Lake. We were so excited when we found this perfect little cabin.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with our cabin instantly. The view is magnificent and we always enjoy waking up and watching the day begin and come alive on the lake. Watch the birds landing or swimming by and turtles and fish surfacing. If you are an outdoor enthusiast like us you will also love the hiking trails nearby and the Chattoga River is very close also.
