About this property

Entire place

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

The Only VRBO Next to Table Rock, Private Trail, Hot Tub

Most “Table Rock retreats” are miles from the park. This one is right next to it, with private trail access that begins on the property and connects directly into the park.

Step outside and you are immediately connected to miles of hiking, waterfalls, forest, lake access and overlooks without driving, parking or navigating crowds.

It is a rare Table Rock stay: quiet, private, and deeply connected to the park itself.

THE SPACE

This historic park ranger cottage sits on two private acres at the edge of Table Rock State Park. You have the entire home and outdoor space to yourself, with a setting that feels calm and tucked away once you arrive.

From just outside the front door, the trail leads directly into the park’s trail system. Guests regularly hike to waterfalls, the lake and overlooks without ever getting in the car. Many mention that once they arrive, they rarely feel the need to leave.

After a day outdoors, the pace naturally slows. Relax in the professionally maintained hot tub on the lower deck, unwind by the fire pit under the stars, or grill dinner in the secret garden. Inside, the cottage blends rustic character with modern comfort. It is intentionally simple, clean, functional and well equipped for guests who want to spend time outside and relax afterward.

BEST FOR

Hikers who want direct trail access without logistics
Couples looking for privacy and quiet
Families with older children who want space, nature and room to explore
Guests who value seclusion over convenience

Dining and grocery options are limited nearby. Most guests prefer to bring food and enjoy cooking, grilling and staying on the property.

We had a great cousins’ night here! We went hiking to the lake, enjoyed a bonfire and the backyard swing, made dinner, played games, and warmed up in the hot tub. Eating breakfast with a huge view of Table Rock was magical. The hosts are responsive and have thought of the little things! It was clean. The lake with a beautiful view is about a 20-minute hike from the cabin.

AMAZING place with Table Rock at your doorstep

We had a wonderful time at the Cottage. The property is meticulously maintained, thoughtfully stocked and an awesome location. Our family enjoyed the games, daytime hikes and views. The trail to Table Rock state park right from the house was a great bonus. We can’t wait to get back again soon! Thanks again for sharing your slice of paradise with our family.

This beautiful, clean home offers a lovely view of Table Rock. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything necessary for preparing dinners. The pre-chopped wood for the fire pit was a wonderful convenience. We were able to access the Pinnacle Lake Trail directly from the house, and it was a beautiful walk to the lake. The complimentary state park pass proved to be quite useful, and we also enjoyed a visit to the very beautiful Jones Gap State Park. We certainly plan to rent this property again.

What an amazing view at the end of the private path….Very relaxing stay & location was perfect. The living room furniture was the only complaint we had, sits very low & we didn’t find it comfortable at all, but if you don’t plan to be indoors much this shouldn’t be an issue. There is a light fixture in hallway that taller people will hit their heads on, we removed globes during our stay so they wouldn’t get broken.

Beautiful Location, Wonderful Property & Amenities

We stayed at this wonderful property to get out of town for a few days for our anniversary. As soon as we pulled into the drive, we could feel our stress melting away. Perfect location for peace, quiet and solitude but also well located for excursions. We hiked from the trail on the property all the way to the top of Table Rock, about a 10 mile round trip. The hike was amazing. The property has high speed Internet service available and well thought out furnishings and amenities. We are already planning our next getaway and this will be a permanent addition to our favorite places to stay with VRBO.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this Pickens cottage. The location is ideal for hiking Table Rock State Park, with direct access to the main trail—no need to drive or pay entrance fees. The cottage is comfortable, well-equipped, and offers thoughtful amenities like various coffee makers, phone chargers, maps, and even an EV charger. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the back deck with a charcuterie board, admiring the view of Pinnacle Mountain, and gathering around the fire pit in the evenings (firewood is provided, but bringing a fire starter is helpful). The beds upstairs are very comfortable; I can't comment on the twin beds downstairs. After a day of hiking, grilling steaks and soaking in the hot tub were perfect ways to unwind. The setting is peaceful and relaxing, with easy access to multiple hiking trails. We visited in the fall, so watch for leaves covering the paths. Our only wish was for a longer stay—we highly recommend this cottage for a restful getaway near Table Rock State Park.

The perfect getaway

This place had it all. It was peaceful and had views of Table Rock right from the porch. We loved that you could hike right into the park from the house. There were so many beautiful waterfalls, lakes and hiking trails of various difficulties. When we needed a break from hiking we had so many activities to enjoy at the house from the ring toss game, big jenga and corn hole to various board games. We loved that we didn't need to worry about brining a lot of things like tissues, salt and pepper, etc. because the owner provides all of that stuff for you. This VRBO is well maintained and loved. The owner is very communicative and goes above and beyond to ensure you will enjoy your stay. Thank you!
