About this property
Secluded cabin surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, wildlife, and 50,000 acres
You will fall in love with this hidden gem on 7 private acres & nestled in a valley adjoining 50,000 acres of DNR Wildlife management area. Excellent hunting retreat or weekend get-away for those seeking relaxing peaceful setting. Wildlife galore (black bear, dear, turkey), hiking, kayaking, Foothills Trail, Palmetto Trail, Sassafras Mountain, Victoria Valley Vineyards, waterfalls, and so much more! We have stocked our home with games, movies, books, and we hope you enjoy your stay!
The space
This is a second home for us and we try to keep it stocked with essentials for ourselves and our guests. We live on a small farm in Pickens County near by and we try to keep you stocked with staples that are nice to have when grocery stores are not as close by. However, Holly Springs Grocery/Gas Station is just down the mountain. Feel free to use what you need. We also have hiking hammocks, bug spray, flash lights, dvds, books, toys for kids, and a first aid kit for your use. Please Note: our cabin is literally in the middle of the wilderness and there is no cell phone reception unless you are working from wifi calling, we do have fabulous fiber internet service.
Guest access
You will have full access to the 7 acres of our property and the 50,000 acres of DNR Wildlife management area and trails. Some hills are a little steep when walking up so please use caution. Also, we recommend carrying bear spray, compass, and being prepared as much as possible. It is very easy to get turned around. Our property lines are marked with orange flags.
Interaction with guests
If at anytime you have questions feel free to reach out. We have supplied maps, area information, sites of interest, etc. there onsite.
Other things to note
If you would like for us to put you in contact with a local fly fishing guide or kayaking guide- just let us know!

About the host
Hosted by Brett
We purchased this home in 2017 with the intent to have a getaway where we can go with our family and unplug. There is no internet or cell reception. We spend our time exploring the mountains, watching movies or playing games, reading, going for walks, sightseeing all numerous waterfalls in the area, and beaching it at the nearby Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee. Most recently we have started playing golf with our 6 and 8 year old down the mountain just 5 minutes at The Rock Golf Resort and Restaurant.
Why they chose this property
This property is unique to us because you can be so secluded and unplugged from the world, but within a 15 minute drive you can find yourself at a winery (Victoria Valley Vineyard) a brewery/brewpub (Jocassee Valley Brewing/ Appalachian Ale House) or in Historical Downtown Pickens for dinner at the GateHouse, a bike ride on the 13 Mile Doodle Trail or Mountain Biking on the Town Creek Bike Park OR go antique shopping on their main st. Within a 30 minute drive you can find yourself in Brevard, NC for a fun day of shopping or tasting the local restaraunts in this adorable mountain town. We specifically love the old Soda/Ice Cream Shop and the Irish Pub. Table Rock and Caesars Head State Park are also literally a few miles away down scenic hwy 11 from the Cabin and provide a day full of adventure.
What makes this property unique
Sit on the porch and listen to the babbling waterfalls on the property. Lots of wildlife to spot during your stay while relaxing on the sun porch. Black bears, turkey, dear, and so many birds! On cold evenings we love building a fire in wood stove or sitting out back with the fire pit and smores.
