About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quaint two bedroom cabin just a few steps away from and on Mountain Rest Lake.

Relax and enjoy the deck of this beautiful cabin or take a kayak or the canoe out on the water. Wake up and watch the morning come alive overlooking the lake from the living room and watch the sun going down each evening. Kitchen is fully equipped. The deck is perfect to grill dinner on the charcoal grill and enjoy the lake views. We have the best view on the lake.

Wireless internet included. Just use your own accounts to access the many apps such as Netflix, Amazon movies, Hulu and many more. Also many DVD are available for your use, most are for children and youth.

Kids indoor games and toys are available.

Come stay with us and enjoy our little slice of heaven on Mountain Rest Lake.

Here is a list of things to do in the area, including hiking trails, a nice drive and a short diverse restaurant selection.

Walhalla fish hatchery

The Chattooga River and many hiking trails are nearby.

Yellow Branch Trail is one of our favorite regular hikes. It’s close by and takes about 2 hours in and out to the waterfall by we usually spend about 3 hours due to playing in the falls.

Across the road from Yellow Branch is Stump House Tunnel. Bring flashlight. Once in the park the tunnel is to the left and the waterfall is to the right. The tunnel is completely dark and is damp inside, but fun. Short hikes but nice waterfall and interesting tunnel to nowhere.

Also from our neighborhood, turn left onto Hwy 28, go to the bridge at the Chattoga River and hike upstream. I don’t know the name of this one but it’s nice and follows the river. Good fishing here also.

It’s a little drive but look up Turtle Back Falls. It’s a very nice hike along a river and passes several falls. It can be quite busy. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/north-carolina/rainbow-falls-and-turtleback-falls-trail

All about waterfalls
https://www.highlandschamber.org/surrender/waterfalls/

Just on the other side of Highlands NC, about a 40 minute drive is Hwy 64 and it has 3 waterfalls along it. Easy to get to all 3: Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, Bust your Butt Falls. Just a fun drive with easy little walks. If you just want an easy day you could drive through Highlands, see the waterfalls then drive to Clayton Ga and back to Mountain Rest Lake. Clayton traffic for about 2 miles through town can be a bear on the weekends in the fall. It’s a nice loop and there are restaurants in Clayton and Highlands.

Here is a good website for other hikes in the area:

Walhalla restaurants
We usually eat at Puerto Nuevo Mexican & Seafood Restaurant in Walhalla. Something on the menu for everyone. It’s nothing fancy but the food is good.

Dakota Grill, just down the hill towards Walhalla. Food is usually quite good. Closed for the winter season.

If you don’t mind driving a little farther (20 minutes) we like Paesano's Italian Restaurant in Seneca.

Enjoy!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

We loved it here! There are amazing views of the lake from inside the cabin and from the deck and the dock. The owner had plenty of watercraft (kayaks, etc) for us to use, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The owner was very responsive and helped with any request we had. The lake is small (which we knew) but it's still great for kayaking/paddleboarding, and it's nice that you don't have motor boats making noise and roughing up the water. Definitely a great stay, and we plan to be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy mountain cabin!The cabin was spotlessly clean and incredibly inviting from the moment we arrived. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we slept so well every night. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, which made cooking meals a real pleasure.We loved taking the kayaks out on the beautiful lake and enjoyed the peaceful, serene setting. The location was perfect, with a quick drive to many stunning hikes in the Summer National Forest.Our host was fantastic. Communication was clear, timely, and effective, and the hospitality felt genuinely warm.We would recommend this cabin 10/10 and would definitely return someday. It was exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway!
