This cabin is enchanted! Just perfect, and the setting is gorgeous. I expected Disney singing animals to come out of the woods - LOL. The cabin itself is wonderful. Super clean and welcoming. Great communication with Melissa. My husband and I enjoyed 2 nights, after attending a Clemson football game. A very scenic area. We enjoyed Sunday lunch at the Steak House Cafeteria in Walhalla. It was awesome. I highly recommend this property. We will be returning! Thanks Melissa for a memorable stay!

We have been to a lot of cabins. This was by far the nicest and best cabin we have ever stayed at. The host is top tier we were coming in late, she checked in on us and turned the porch lights on for us. The cabin was super clean very well stocked and beautifully decorated truly made you feel at home. It’s very easy to find yet very private plenty of parking. Only draw back was having to leave. This will be our go to cabin from now on. The stump hole tail system is very close and a great hike, with awesome mountain biking too. You will not be disappointed here.

A lovely cabin and property with fantastic attention to detail and great communication by our host! Very comfortable bed and linens, exceptionally clean overall, and a snack platter waiting for us that was just right. We were chasing waterfalls for a story that will appear in South Carolina Living Magazine and within one weekend saw 15 good to spectacular ones not far from the cabin. Yellow Branch Falls may be my favorite, but Brasstown Falls is actually 4 falls in 1 with minimal hiking and should not be missed.There are 60 waterfalls listed for Oconee County in Thomas King's "Waterfall Hikes of Upstate South Carolina," now available in third edition from UGA Press. We used King's book as our primary guide along with the book that's available at the cabin. The website waterfallwalker.com covers the same information and has video & photos.We also enjoyed some good meals in Westminister and Walhalla and a fantastic pizza at Humble Pie down the road. We hope to return!

A beautiful cabin in the woods with a wonderful charcuterie bowl left in the refrigerator for us to enjoy, after a day of activities. The property was very well maintained with various outside activities.

Melissa is by far the best host I've come across on all Platforms! She is so helpful, friendly and available for any needs! The cabin was absolutely STUNNING, clean and beautiful- the perfect cabin for a stay in the mountain. Melissa left us snacks and made sure we knew where everything is and equipped for anything we wanted to do or make. I would rate 10 stars if i could! Thank you and I'll definitely be recommending this place to everyone

Home away from Home

If only you could add more stars to a review. We stay all over the country, in many VRBO’s, and this, By FAR has been our absolute favorite. From the moment we booked- until the day of departure- we felt like family. Our hosts were thoughtful, attentive, kind and generous. The property shows the amount of thought that went into every aspect of the home. Even down to the capped corner of the refrigerator.The cabin was cozy, and the property absolutely beautiful. It truly is a labor of love. We will absolutely be booking again in the future! .
