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.

Description
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
https://www2.dnr.sc.gov/ManagedLands/ManagedLand/ManagedLand/202

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:
https://www.alltrails.com/us/south-carolina/mountain-rest

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!

FANTASTIC GETAWAY
If you relish quiet... if you cherish stunning sunsets... if you treasure wide 24/7 views of a silken lake... if you seek fun in a kayak or paddle board or simply swimming in smooth, clean waters... this is your happy place. Bonus assets are a comfortable bed, super-equipped kitchen, and great owner communication. Just go.

Beautiful. peaceful getaway
My husband and I own our own business so we take at least a weeks vacation to a nice spot to relax. This place was more than we hoped. It rained on and off but the weather was warm so we still hiked and fished several times. We cooked our own meals everyday and found everything we needed to prepare them in the kitchen. The house was cozy and inviting and we found lots to do in the area when we weren't fishing, grilling, or reading a book. The owners were great and responded to our questions quickly. I can't wait to return!

Wonderful location
The cabin is perfect, it has everything you could need plus some. The queen bed was very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and the AC works great! The two tiered deck was perfect for grilling and eating meals. The dock is a short walk from the deck and setup for fishing and using the kayaks/paddle boards. The waterfalls in the area are a must! We visited 3 and loved all of them. Would definitely come back!

We had our grandson and a nephew this week. They played and enjoyed the outdoors. The kayaking and paddle boards were great. They swam, jumped, flipped and were exhausted at the end of the day. The cabin is clean and homey. The views are amazing. We will go back again!

My husband and I came to celebrate our 7yr wedding anniversary! It was perfect. We can’t recommend this enough! The host are extremely accommodating and made our stay even better! We had to change the date last minute and they helped us with no hesitation! We relaxed, fished, enjoyed a near by hike, and felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves. We can’t wait to come back with the kids and let them experience Mt Lake Rest!

Cozy Lakeside Cabin Getaway
We had a lovely experience at this cabin with an amazing view overlooking Mountain Rest Lake. We loved taking out the kayaks and canoes! The inside of the cabin was incredibly cozy place to relax. We spent the evening playing Cranium and other board games with the family. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Note: a few things seemed stocked but were just empty containers (i.e. foil, sugar)
