Cozy cabin getaway
This cabin was awesome! The location is super quiet and peaceful with the river out front. The driveway is long and allows you to feel secluded and tucked away in your own little oasis. The cabin itself is very clean and super cozy for a nice weekend getaway.

Great, cozy stay
The house was just as described. Right on the river, well-appointed, clean and cozy. Loved the furnishings and lamp lighting inside and the porch life outside. Strong WiFi and smart tv was a plus, and it’s about 10 minutes from an Ingles. Would definitely recommend!

Quite Getaway
The property was very nice. Easy location to get too,only mishap that we had was when we were going to get something to eat and we got stuck leaving the property. My husband put it in 4 wheel drive and we got out. I wouldn’t advise anyone to drive a car here. But overall we loved it!!!

Great Cabin Getaway!
If you're looking for a great place to get away with great views, go ahead and book this one! This cabin is clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. We stayed two nights and had everything we needed. We took a dip in the creek that runs right outside the cabin. My wife says we'll be staying here again.

Excellent getaway
My wife and I spent our 10 hear anniversary here and specifically chose this location for privacy and the river views and it did not dissappoint. The cabin itself is very nice and has everything you need and is very comfortable and cozy. The firepit and outside seating makes for a very inviting and comfortable outside space too. The river itself is very calm and serene,and it would make a great spot to do some trout fishing if one desired.I would highly recommend this for a couples retreat or a small family to enjoy.

This truly is a Hidden Gem
River Haven was the most magical, beautiful little hideaway. Tucked out of the way, down a long dirt road through beautiful wooded property, this tiny house opens up to a beautiful river. The house was perfectly appointed with all our needs perfectly met. We enjoyed wading in the water outside and sunning on the rocks. Would definitely enjoy visiting here again.

This is a quiet location and so peaceful! My teens had a great time exploring the river and we were close enough to all sorts of other great adventures to visit many places. The house was super clean with amazing views.

Beautiful Setting, Cute Modern Cottage, Super Clean
We loved staying here and look forward to returning to the area! The cottage is modern, very clean, and well stocked. My family really enjoyed the proximity to the river, just steps from the porch. Communication with the host was prompt and professional. Check in/out was a breeze. Definitely recommend! Five stars :)

This location was absolutely beautiful and the cabin was immaculate. We had a wonderful time visiting with our friends who live nearby and having them stop in for grilling and playing by and in the river. Such a nice and peaceful place. Will definitely recommend or stay again.

Cozy cabin; great location
This cabin, nestled into the woods along the Chauga River, is a perfect spot for all of the outdoor activities available in Upstate South Carolina. Great back porch for relaxing and reading, or simply listening to the river.
