Gorgeous view-tranquil and cozy!

Four nights in July We absolutely loved everything about this super comfortable cabin! Can’t beat the view both from indoors and off all decks and the new lake dock. The queen beds were clean and comfortable - the new large shower was awesome! We fished, went swimming, enjoyed the kayaks and canoe several times each day. It’s also nice to walk the roads around the lake. We drove to a few nearby scenic spots and visited the fish hatchery and also the Stumphouse tunnel. We literally spent most of our time at the cabin! (We cooked very simple meals using the bbq grill, stove and microwave). It really is the Best view on Mountain Rest Lake. We hope to return soon!! The Hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful with things to do in the area. We had no issues with anything. There is a notebook on the table with all kinds of notes and brochures around the area. We highly recommend!

Private lake quiet is an understatement loved the silence Well equipped cabin and comfortable chairs and beds If needed owner is only a call away Grill and a chimera for outside fire So many waterfalls only minutes away Stumphouse tunnel and isoqueena falls are just an example If you're a trout person Chattooga river is premier

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!
