Cabin in the mountains
The cabin and the property were very relaxing and loved the property. It is set back in the mountains. The GPS directions is wrong so follow the directions from the owner.

Neat little get away
Very nice little cabin in a rural part of SC, very close to stump house tunnel, yellow branch, and other beautiful natural wonders. The only issue we had was the part of the river that the cabin has access to had rocks that were jagged and a little hard to traverse. Other than that it was a great little get away.

Much needed R & R
Everything was just as advertised. The cabin was so quiet and comfy; everything worked perfectly and the kitchen was well stocked with the pots, pans, utensils and everything else I needed for cooking meals. The directions were spot on and the host was super responsive - I'll be back for sure!

Easter Weekend Stay
The property was a little hard to find, but we got there. There is no service, but once you connect to the WiFi its fine. Secluded, but in the best way possible. Hiking and sightseeing within a couple miles. Stores are about 10 miles away. The home was perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Neighbor dog came across the river, but was friendly. Couldn't find an outside trash can or dumpster. Looking forward to our next stay.

Winter Getaway
Beautiful little cabin! Everything one could possibly need was provided. Most important to me is a comfortable bed, that I got! First time to this area and it will not be our last. Cabin was in a great location to hike many waterfalls in the area. The only improvement I would suggest is to put the WiFi information in your information book. We had to call to find where it was located. After a quick phone call we were told it was on the back of a card on side of fridge. Just needs to be more visible. Wonderful week in a wonderful cabin! We will definitely be making a trip back to Happy Place.
