No other vacation rental offers a private trail that starts right on the property and takes you straight into the park. Hike to waterfalls, mountain streams, Lake Pinnacle and miles of trails.

At the end of the day, relax in the hot tub or light a fire in the secret garden with complimentary firewood. Included is a complimentary South Carolina State Park Pass, giving you free admission to every park in the area.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great quiet property/getaway in nature! Host was super accessible and helpful. Loved having free pass to Table Rock State Park and the trail to the park right by the house. Host has 2 backpacks you can use for hikes which was great because we forgot ours :)

    Lovely yard greeted us, down a long wooded drive. Pretty and clean interiors with all amenities you will need, including Park pass entrance. 2 minutes to both park gates, and hiking trail on premise. Kitchen stocked with everything you will need sans main groceries. Lovely stay, with great hosts. Thank you

    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.

    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.
