    It was a wonderful little cabin, we enjoyed our stay very much. Management neglected to update the listing title as the dock no longer exists. There is access to the river but no dock. We loved the location and the peace of the river.

    Lovely place! It's a super cute place to stay with everything we needed. The only thing I would let others know is that there is no dock as of our stay in June 2025. Getting down to the water isn't the easiest its pretty steep so we didnt get to enjoy the river like I had hoped when I originally booked it.

    Cute, a little hard to find, gps isn't accurate and directions are not easy to understand but poved the cabinand the property. And it was clean and most importantly pet friendly.

    The cabin was nice and clean, the property was quiet and located next to a little stream which was nice to listen to while sitting on the front porch. Good proximity to Walhalla and to various hikes with numerous waterfalls.

    We had some challenges initially finding the cabin (we called mng & they were SO patient w/ us). We arrived stressed (our natural state these days) but within a minute of walking in to this cozy, CLEAN, relaxing cabin w/the sound of the river in the background...we found our Zen. We hiked, fished and enjoyed nature. The dock for the cabin was gone (probably washed away from the hurricane) so the river wasn't accesible. That was really the only disappointment. Overall highly recommend and if they replace the dock we would LOVE to stay there every year!!

    We had a fantastic stay at this cabin with our dogs. The cabin is remote and secluded so it was peaceful and relaxing. We caught several trout and enjoyed our stay. There is a Market DG within 10 minutes of the cabin for any small needs you may have. Loved the location & cabin—would visit again.

    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.

    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.
