Great, quiet getaway

Very nice place in a quiet area, felt like home. Lots of blowups to enjoy the water and kayaks, canoe and paddle boat. I think the grandkids and pappy used them all except the paddle boat.

Peaceful. Quiet. Escape

Beautiful windows to display the lake. The weather was too cold to hang on the deck (30 minutes max in sunlight). Walking was brisk and brief. Neighbors friendly.(wave or talk). Parking for one vehicle. Decline to cabin could be a challenge for elderly ppl w cane access. Accommodations were nice. Apartment stove and frig size. Dishes and utensils were there. One frying pan which we used for everything!! Bathroom upgrade to shower. Lots of toiletries. Tv was lots of football and old westerns. We had seen a lot of waterfalls but tried again. Some were open on Thanksgiving day. Walhalla was nice to walk the street about ten minutes away. Lots of blankets to sit with. Great place to unwind! Thank you.

Weekend Getaway

My daughter and I stayed forca weekend and really enjoyed the cabin. It had everything we needed including comfortable beds. The view of the lake ftom the cabin was excellent and the surrounding woods were beautiful. Unfortunately the weather was rainy and overcast so we werent able to enjoy the outside aminities but still had a good time. Be prepared for a littke bit of a cramped parking spot but it was really not too big a deal. The smoke detector goes off when the oven is used but we got used to it so it was no big deal either. Overall its a very nice place and convenient to alot of things to do. We went to the Walhalla Preforming Arts Center and saw a good concert. Its kind of a hidden gym. Check it out. And BTW the owners are very easy to work with and quick to answer any questions or concerns.

Fall weekend getaway

Great cabin on a gorgeous lake. Cabin was well appointed with the usual comforts of home. Has a paddle boat, canoe, and kayaks. Plenty of fish in the lake. Very peaceful and nice area. Would absolutely go back. Wonderful tucked away spot in the mountains and on a lake. What more could you ask for?

Perfect

My wife and I went for a quick stay from Thursday - Sunday. Friday we went White water rafting in the Nantahala River. I would highly recommend the restaurant Dakota Grill, however it is only open between 5-7 PM. The tailgate and game is always great fun. The house was perfect we wish we would have had more time to stay and do some adventures.

Not for seniors

Loose gravel for driveway down to house. Not much room for our clothes and groceries as we were staying for two weeks and owners possessions were everywhere. We enjoyed the lake and boats and the surrounding area.

Perfect for our getaway.

Everything was great! We had easy communication with Marilyn and everything went as planned. It was a fairly quiet community around the lake and nearby Walhalla was a nice small town. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, fishing, and exploring many of the nearby waterfalls and hiking spots. Many of the outlets in the house do not have the ground prong available. There are some adapters in the house but plan accordingly if you have something that you need to plug in with a ground. Having the kayaks and boat available for use was very nice and kept us from having to transport ours there. Definitely recommend staying here.

Great cabin overlooking a beautiful lake!!!

What a wonderful property and a fun time for the family! Great dock and swimming lake! Lots of wonderful close hikes to waterfalls and a short drive to Walhalla for groceries and Highlands for Whiteside Mountain and a cute downtown area! The cabin was great! It offered lots of little things such as a peddle boat, a canoe, a few kayaks, rafts and so much more. Great use of space inside and out! Both beds and the sleeper sofa were very comfortable to sleep on. Extra pillows and blankets were available if needed. Lots of kitchen supplies and towels, too! Cute cabin decor and very homey! Property owner was very easy to work with and answered all of my questions before and during our stay. Very friendly!

Relaxing fishing destination

This was a great trip (4 nights) for myself and 2 other college buds to who enjoy fishing, talking old times and relaxation. We fished the lake and the nearby river and had a good time. Looking forward to a return trip in the future. Owners were great communicators prior to our trip and after our checkin. Billy H

Amazing

This is such a slice of heaven! It was amazing to leave the noise and rush of life. The lake is everything, there was nothing better then to sit on the dock with a cup of coffee and watch my kids play on the lake. We went on hikes daily to see the waterfalls, and the weather was so enjoyable. I could go on and on …. In short it was awesome!

Perfect Retreat

Two adults and two kids (3,6) fit perfectly in this adorable cabin by the lake. Owners were incredible, and we were impressed by just how much the cabin had to offer in terms of household supplies, entertainment (water toys, board games, books, DVDs), and incredible outdoor space. The property is perfectly situated between lots of hiking trails and waterfalls (we visited Issaqueena Falls and Stumphouse Tunnel) and not too far from Clemson. 100% recommend

Relaxing week at Mountain Rest Lake

The cabin had a beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed swimming, a little fishing, and using the pedal boat to see the rest of the lake. The cabin was well stocked, and we were happy to use the gas grill and the chiminea. My husband and I needed a trip to a quiet mountain lake far from the city for our vacation. And that is what we got during this relaxing vacation.
