About this property

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!

Relaxing long weekend

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 !

Beautiful Getaway

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.

Secluded with WiFi and cell service.

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.

Awesome and relaxing Stay

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.

Relaxing Getaway!

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!

Charming, cozy, peaceful

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.

Refreshing little getaway!!

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!
