Coltsfoot Cottage nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
Come enjoy the South Carolina mountains of Oconee County. Coltsfoot Cottage, located at Coltsfoot Farm, is on a small horse farm in the quaint community of Mountain Rest. We are seated at just over 1800 feet of elevation within a mile and a half from the sparkling Chattooga River. For shopping and dining, Highlands, NC, Clayton, GA and Walhalla, SC are just a short drive of 30 minutes (or less) from this unique property. Relax in beautiful mountain scenery and see astonishing sunsets. We have friendly animals including dogs, a barn cat and horses, so animal lovers will enjoy this space. We do not allow any animals into the cottage. The cottage is a guest cottage so it is situated adjacent to the main residence. No fireworks please due to the animals and risk of forest fires.

The cottage was impressively decorated and welcoming with snacks in the kitchen! My wife enjoyed playing an LP album on the phonograph and reading through the materials available. We especially appreciated the book on waterfalls in the area, as that was part of the reason for our visit. We met the hosts and enjoying watching Patrick feed the 3 horses and tell us about the canine welcoming committee, Foxy and Hank. It's a great place to visit!
Everything in the cottage is clean, stocked, and just waiting for you to get there and really enjoy your few days or week in the mountains. You will not find nicer or friendlier hosts than Jenefer and Patrick.

Amazing little cottage tucked away in the mountains! A perfect place for a quiet escape. Lots of hiking nearby with an abundance of waterfalls. The host were wonderful and always welcoming!
Properties and cabin is warm and welcoming. Owners are exceptional people who love being able to provide a great place for a short get away to enjoy the upstate of South Carolina.
I would give 6 stars, if I could! We stayed 2 days & nights while we hiked to 3 local waterfalls. Hosts are very personable, with excellent communication; the cottage is cozy, beautifully decorated, well-maintained. We never want to stay in a hotel again!
Wonderful place to get away from it all! Really had a great time doing a lot of not much at all:) well appointed cabin in a natural setting. Loved everything about it and the location is perfect for whatever you want or need including dining out or getting into the woods and getting away from it all. Will be back !
First off, the communication with the owners was fantastic and they were so sweet to have a fire already lit for us when we arrived late at night and some muffins for breakfast.
The cottage is beautifully done and we would definitely come back if we ever get back this way. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to get a peaceful hideaway in the area.

We really enjoyed having you for the night! And great to hear that you got some much needed rest on your way to your vacation!
My wife and I had a great time! The cottage was so nice with a lot of interesting touches. Beautiful view from the deck and fire pit. Everything was provided for a wonderful time.
My wife and I enjoyed the quiet, peaceful outdoors surrounding this cozy cottage. The hosts are genuine friendly and welcoming. The cottage is warm and perfect for a couple. Enjoy the quiet and colorful sunsets! We will be back.

We enjoyed your visit and we appreciated the opportunity to talk you guys this morning while enjoying the horses.
We look forward to seeing you again!
The cottage is unique in almost every way. Great Wi-Fi and Internet service, quiet, beautiful property, very friendly hosts, and makes you hate having to leave and come back home. This is my fourth or fifth stay and I am planning and looking forward to my next stay in about 2 months.
Property and owners are great. Cottage is very unique and original. Layout of the farm is great and very peaceful. Cottage is close to main house, but the back porch, patio and fireplace are mostly secluded.
Property is totally private and beautifully decorated. Every thing you need is provided. If you want some downtime with beautiful Mountain views, this is the place. We saw waterfalls and went to nearby Highlands. We will return again!
Our expectations were highthis time around base on our first visit to Coltsfoot Cottage, this time Jennifer, Patrick, Foxy, and Hank totally set the bar at its highest for all other VRBO hosts! WOW! The peace and tranquility here is found nowhere else for us. We will be a guest for life! You will not regret staying here!
Property is beautiful and cottage is very authentic and unique. It is a must stay if you want to recoup after a busy week or just need to get away. Owners are wonderful, I was able to meet both. There friendly pets will make you fall in love with each one of them. Cottage has a fence and gate around it so if you want to not allow the dogs in you can. I highly recommend a stay here.

It was so nice meeting you, Bo! And thank you for you much needed help while you were here. Look forward to seeing you again soon!
My Fiancé and I were traveling from Hilton Head SC to celebrate his birthday and also go on a rafting trip! Before we got to the cottage I already felt comfortable with the owners Jennifer and Patrick. The cottage was breathtakingly gorgeous and pictures online don’t do it enough justice! From the fresh mountain air to the views, we just couldn’t get enough.We had an amazing time and the cottage felt so homey. Thank y’all again. We will and have already recommended this cottage to others. 10/10!

We are so thankful that you guys were able to come and stay with us for Tanner’s birthday. We enjoyed having time to meet you, and I know that Hank, Foxy and Laila enjoyed it, as well! We hope you will come back and visit us again!
Our stay at Coltsfoot Cottage exceeded our expectations. The cottage is very clean, comfortable, and inviting. The bed is comfy and the outdoor area is exceptional. There are rocking chairs on the covered porch, bar seating for dinner, a hammock and a cafe table near the fire pit…all with peaceful views of the mountains. We spent our evenings viewing the sunset and the star-studded sky scape. Plus Hank (the sweetest pup ever), Foxy, and Jack the cat will come visit. Jennifer and Patrick have created a beautiful homesite. Though the cottage is near their house, it still feels very private. They are wonderful hosts and we highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed having you stay for your anniversary! It was so nice meeting you and we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will come back to see us again in the future!
What a relaxing, refreshing & beautifully curated little plot of space to pull away from the world!!! The hosts have put such great attention to detail into every little nook & cranny that you will consistently find yourself thinking “Wow, what a smart use of space & intentionality!” Some of my personal faves were the eclectic farm & natural decor, glorious views from both tubs (!), rocking under the porch fans in a well-timed thunderstorm, a well-appointed kitchen with some extra surprises & visits from the friendliest little watchful pup! Great, generous communication with the hosts & a seamlessly easy check-in/check-out make this an A++! Throw your clothes in a bag & go…you will need nothing else. I can only imagine what the cottage is like in the Fall & Winter, and hope to make this gem a repeat!
