Our family of 4 with a small dog loved staying here! The cottage was very clean and we slept well each night. The river was a short walk from the cottage and we saw deer and wild turkey each time we were out. Great place!
The host was very prompt on getting back woth us. The cottage is very quaint and cozy, we would definitely stay here again. Beautiful property and scenery.
Had an amazing stay and found our new go-to. The cottage is beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you need! Host is amazing! Highly recommend!

Thank you, Claire! You and your group are welcome back anytime!
The property was beautiful and felt very private. The house is simple, clean and perfectly appointed with all the amenities, you would need to cook meals and have fun. I would recommend this property.
This cottage is in a beautiful setting. It is very cute and extremely clean. Communication with the host was easy and convenient. This location was very close the events that brought us to South Carolina. The property was peaceful and quiet. Really enjoyed it.
Enjoyed our stay here. The stream running beside the home was beautiful. We saw deer on our walks. Enjoyed coffee on the porch. This house is a short drive to several areas we were going to.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! You and your family are welcome back any time!
The house was very nice and the host and family as well. It was so relaxing having coffe on the back porch listening to the creek. We saw deer, turkey, bear and so many birds. The valley is wonderful and close to so many beautiful areas. We will most definitely return. Thanks Hunter!
We stayed at attend the Pickens Azalea Festival. If you are an outdoors person, this place is perfect. We saw turkey, deer and duck. A little creek runs behind the house which made sitting outside lovely. The host, Hunter, was amazing. Very quick to respond and very professional. We will defiantly be staying here again.
The property was beautiful! Crossing the river over the bridge entrance to the property immediately gave me a sense of peace looking out over the property. The house was larger than expected and had a cozy cabin feel. It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bedrooms were roomy with nice comfortable beds. The outside barbecue was appreciated for evening meals, and the fire pit was definitely a hit to enjoy the cool crisp evenings . We will look forward to returning soon!
The pictures don't do the place justice. We came in mid April and the azaleas and other flowers were gorgeous. The creek was calming and serene. Sitting on the back porch it was easy to forget that this you're at a guest cottage. The river was fun and relaxing. We took tubes and floated from the property to a small island in the river and hung out for hours! Twin Falls is an amazing waterfall just 5 minutes from the house. We also rented a boat and spent the day on Lake Kewowee. Hunter, the host, was nice and responsive and very helpful. Would highly recommend.
