About this property

Entire place

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.

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

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:

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!

We immediately felt we were Home. Set up for a Cooks kitchen has all the dishes, mixing bowls cutting boards, quality knives & tools & pans, etc. Master bed soooo comfy, mattress, pillows. Quality towels, linens perfect softness & weight. Didn’t use 2nd bedroom. Although adorably decorated. Great water pressure & plenty of hot water for showers. We watched the amazing sunsets every night from the living room or one of the 2 decks. The dock at waterside was fun to watch the fish, next time we’ll fish & kayak. Didn’t want to leave.

The cabin was clean, except for you should have an exterminator come in. You have a roach problem. In the kitchen and in the bathroom.The only other suggestion I could have for you is for you to get a satellite and maybe be charged just a little bit more so that at least somebody could watch TV and sports and movies.And if you had one of the dusters for outside to get rid of the cobwebs, cobwebs are everywhere.

This is our second time staying here and hopefully will not be our last. This property is seriously something special. There's something about it that just instantly feels like home and always has us leaving feeling recharged. The cabin is wonderfully equipped with everything you may need to enjoy your stay. It's always clean and kept up. There's so much to do from enjoying the views in the home or on the deck, paddles on the lake, or exploring the area. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to visit again and can't wait to return. Thank you!

We had a great stay here! The place was clean and well kept, and the owner was very helpful. The lake was small (which we knew ahead of time), but it was great for paddling and swimming in. And we loved how peaceful the lake was (no motor boats)! We had our own paddleboards so we didn't use the owner crafts, but they had multiple kayaks/paddleboards available for use. Overall a great stay and we will be back!

Wonderful stay, great location.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin and enjoyed our time at the little lake. I had booked it for my wife's birthday and we were there with our two children (ages 8 & 11). The cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Dishes, utensils, cookware, grills, kayaks, life jackets, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. The amenities were abundant and thoughtful. We enjoyed the little private dock, kayaking around the lake, swimming, and fishing, although we didn't catch anything. The evenings were quiet and relaxing while we cooked and played board games. For anyone who can't disconnect, the cabin has high speed WiFi, which is appreciated, since we had no service through T-Mobile. The lake and surrounding area was serene and peaceful, just what we were looking for. The cabin is a hidden gem and we will definitely return in the future.

Felt like home away from home

I want to give a very special thank you to the owner, who accommodated me during a hard time. That was very kind of you. The cabin was beautiful and had a very close to home vibe. I brought my niece and 2 young daughters. They were in awe. We had fun swimming in the lake, jumping from the dock and eating breakfast while watching the sunrise. So beautiful. If you have any doubts about booking, JUST DO IT!!! So worth it.
