About this property

Quiet creek-side cottage on 2 1/2 acres with the creek running 30 feet from the porch. As you pass through our gate, the sound of the rushing creek welcome you to our tranquil cabin. Woods that cradle the house on three sides and the creek steps away from our screened porch offer you the perfect chance to truly relax and unwind, enjoying the sounds of the Eastatoee Creek rushing over the rocks (as you sleep in one of the three newly renovated bedrooms), will provide you with one of the best night's sleep. Enjoy the morning with a freshly brewed cup of coffee on the porch, where hummingbirds gather for breakfast and the often visiting deer and wild turkey. After breakfast, keep up with your family and friends on our internet. Take a short walk to the famous, spectacular Twin Falls, spend the day splashing in the creek, or read in our lounger. Long Shoals Roadside Park is only a 10-minute drive from the cabin on scenic Hwy. 11, where you can enjoy sliding down a large rock into a cool mountain stream. Take a night-trip trout fishing on Lake Jocassee with James Couch, or take the family on a spectacular day trip only 6.2 miles from the cabin. Travel to picturesque Cashiers or Highlands, known for their boutique shops, or take the kids rafting on the Nantahala river, horseback riding at the Pisgah Forest Riding Stables, or a scenic steam train ride through the Great smokies mountains in Bryson City. Sports fans can conveniently travel to "root on" either the Clemson Tigers or Furman Paladins to a victory! In the fall, drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the beautiful foliage, or ski Sapphire or Maggie Valley in the winter. Whether you choose to spend your days at our cozy cabin or wish to venture out on daily excursions, we believe we've provided the perfect cabin.
Our Fiber Optic fast speed internet can help you find and review all the beautiful places nearby.

Cute house and wonderful location.

Picture perfect home next to a mountain brook. The home is well appointed and maintained. We had very pleasant evenings in the nicely landscaped yard with a fire pit and room for the kids to play. The location is really, really nice. While the home is quiet and remote it is also centrally located when it comes to the area attractions (lakes, parks, etc). In addition to the hiking, we spent time on Lake Jocassee, went horseback riding and zip lining. The Twin Falls waterfall is a 15 minute walk from the house. 100% recommend and hope to return one day.

A Little Slice of Heaven!

We had the best time staying at the Creekside Cottage! My husband grew up fishing this creek as a child and it was so great to bring him home for the holidays. The location was nothing less than sublime. We were the first guests to stay there after Hurricane Helene. While the landscape changed from some of the photos, Melanie let us know immediately when making our reservation, and we had already been expecting some changes. We can’t say enough about what a Herculean effort it must have been for them to fix everything up and make it perfect. It was just amazing! Our dog, Bella, enjoyed exploring the property, the creek and the waterfalls with us too!The cottage itself was so cozy and we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and provided a great night’s sleep. Even though our stay was over a chilly Christmas, we sat out on the screened porch listening to the soothing sounds of the creek and even cracked the window at night to hear it.If you plan on doing some cooking while you are there, you do not need to bring anything from your kitchen at all. They had the most well-equipped kitchen I’ve seen in a rental property and it was lacking nothing that we needed to prepare and enjoy our holiday feast.Melanie was a fantastic host and was very prompt in communicating with us. Check in and check out was seamless. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the cottage again during the summer months!

Great cottage!

We loved The Cottage and the surrounding area. Very quiet and peaceful. The creek was beautiful and we loved sitting by the creek and reading. We made a trip to Bravard NC, short ride from the cottage. It is a pretty little town and worth visiting. Loved our stay!!

Peaceful

I can’t say enough about this property! Everything was just as the listing described but the photos don’t do it justice. The creek is so close to the house! We drove up to the parking area for Twin Falls which is very close and enjoyed the beauty of the falls. We relaxed in the creek for hours and enjoyed the screened in porch at night. All of the solar lights around the property are so pretty at night. Home was super clean and the creekside bedroom bed was super comfortable! Definitely will revisit in the fall!

Relaxed Enchanted Getaway

You haven't seen all the Beauty South Carolina has to offer till you stay here! What an incredible, relaxed vibes with endless beautiful sceneries starting with the cozy, comfy cottage which I absolutely loved the wilderness style decor and Bear decor. The property gives an enchanted feel with all the lush green scenery and steps away from the creek which the creek offers a relaxing sound when sleeping with the window open. The property offers so much for adults and children to enjoy, have fun or relax without having to leave. A bigger plus besides being pet friendly, is the short walk distance to the beautiful twin waterfalls and many more within short driving distance. I would 100% recommend this amazing getaway to couples, families or friends outings.

So relaxing!

This was our second stay and it was just as great as we remembered! It was peaceful and relaxing. It was a perfect short getaway. Once again we walked up to the Twin Falls. The running water in front of the cabin was enjoyed while sitting out on the front porch. Everything worked perfectly...no issues whatsoever. We were even able to check in an hour earlier after we contacted Melanie. We look forward to coming again!

Home away from home

The property description was an understatement. The place was amazing and Melanie was more than accommodating. The amenities truly made us feel at home.

Best Romantic Birthday Weekend

My husband planned the best weekend for us, the location next to the creek is so incredibly peaceful. We walked to the nearby Twin Falls with a picnic to spend a couple hours, the hike is short-ish and the views are spectacular. We brought all of our food and only left once to visit Brevard. The cabin had all of the essentials, bed was comfortable and showers hot. This location is remote enough that we encountered exactly one other human during our stay ( on the trail), other than visiting Brevard. December is mild and it was a great visit, I already want to go back in the summer and play in the creek. This cabin is a gem! Thank you!!!!!!

Family Gathering

Absolutely beautiful location! We were fortunate to catch the last of the color for the Fall. The sound of the creek was so soothing. Our family has relatives in the valley so we are familiar with the area and we were so happy to be on the creek! The cabin was very cozy and we enjoyed preparing meals together in the well equipped kitchen. The weather was perfect for sitting around the fire pit in the evening and we also enjoyed a fire in the fireplace while watching the Georgia/Mississippi game. An unusual feature of the cabin was a bathroom in a separate building from the cabin itself. Sort of a private spa. A very nice large bathroom off of the laundry room with a tub and shower and vanity sink. Quite a roomy bathroom. We called it the Queen’s Outhouse because it was so nice. A smaller bathroom with a shower is in the cabin. The living area is spacious enough for a family or group of 6 to sit comfortably. Very comfortable furniture including a recliner which my brother recovering from surgery found therapeutic. The bedrooms are a bit small-ish but have big comfy beds in them. Another interesting feature was the custom bunk bed with standard size mattresses on top and bottom that can sleep 4 comfortably. We thought the location couldn’t be beat. We recommend this cozy cabin to a couple or small family who enjoy “togetherness” because it is so “cozy”.

Beautiful Property/Location

The location of the cottage is amazing. It is surrounded by mountains and the babbling creek The falls are a half mile easy walk from the cottage. The property is very well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit with nice chairs and were thankful for the generous amounts of firewood that are provided by the host. The swing is so fun and the hammock is awesome. Devils Fork state park is close by also. The beds are very comfortable and the cabin is neat and clean. There were four adults in our group and space was just right for us. You do have to exit the house via a backdoor or a side door to go to second bathroom located in the laundry building. The building is connected to the deck. It was no problem, however, late at night we all used the inside bathroom because of the cold nights. We cooked every day and the kitchen had all we needed. Wifi worked well for three of us. Not sure why our friend’s phone never connected. We would definitely stay here again. Host was helpful and communicative.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Bryan

Retired dental assistant and Shop owner. Engaged to a wonderful retired policeman, I have three children, two boys and a girl. I live in Fla. And enjoy spending my spare time in Ga. at my brothers home and at our cottage in S.C.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather meet my grandmother in Pickens S.C and married her. They moved to Florida. All her family still lived in S.C. so he purchased this home for her to be able
to go back and visit her family. When they go older he passed it down to my father and mother where we enjoyed many summers vacations. As my children were growing up I took them up there every summer. I have never missed a summer up at our home since I was six and hope to be able to do this till I have to pass our beautiful cabin down to my children.
.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is located within 30 feet of the creek and Twin Falls is in walking distance from our front door. The falls have a parking area if you would like to drive around the corner to
the falls instead of walking. The valley has beautiful views of the mountains. In Pickens (30 minutes away) on Wednesday they have Jockey Lot flea market just like the old fashion ones, lots of antique things and many different thing that you don't come across at regular flea markets. There is a nice park just 10 Minutes down the road, call Loan Shoal. were you can sit on the big bold rocks or slide down the long rock in to the big pool of cold water at the bottom.
