Peaceful Lakeside Haven w/private dock; boating, hiking swimming just steps away

Journey back in time and relax in the Bluebird Cottage of Mountain Rest Lake. Nestled in the woods, this charming lake front retreat offers a multitude of activities for peace seekers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The newly restored 1940's cottage is a sanctuary of rest and beauty. Walk to the dock and enjoy paddling, fishing, swimming or just relaxing lakeside. Sit on one of the screened porches with your morning coffee and breathe in the fresh air. Enjoy a perfect sunset view and star gazing at the end of your day. Close to great hiking trails and waterfalls, Clemson football games (45 min.) or a visit to Clayton GA (30 min.) or Highlands NC (35 min.). There are excellent dining opportunities within 15-30 miles. Art galleries, antique stores and many boutique shops are nearby and waiting to be explored!

This is an adorable cottage. It’s an older property that is quaint and quirky. The decor is charming, and the house provides a peaceful atmosphere. The dock and screened porch are perfect for sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The little lake is very easy to kayak around, and is also fun to just float in. The location of the cottage is also great for short drives to many beautiful waterfalls. I enjoyed this property so much last year, that I returned again this summer.

We really liked the cabin. Everything was just as described. The property as exceptionly clean and neat and had everything we needed. I would suggest some blackout shades in the bedrooms and maybe a little firmer beds but otherwise it was very comfortable.

Lakeside cabin
I fell in love with this place the moment I walked in the door. We stayed here because our son recently moved to the area. Everything you could possibly want or need is provided. We were going to take our son & his girlfriend out for dinner but we decided to stay in & grill. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking, & just hanging out on the back porch by the water. We will definitely stay here again. Such a fun & relaxing weekend.

Anniversary get away
We came for a weekend get away for our 30th anniversary-and this place was amazing! We chose it for its close location to our daughters, one at Clemson the other at UGA. Yet once we got here, we did not want to leave! What a true treasure! We will be back! Perfect for a couples get away, clean, easy to get to, very quiet, beautiful lake and everything you could want or need at the house! Loved it!
