Our cabin is located on the Chauga River and is very private. There is a great swimming hole to relax in or you can sit by the river, or just sit on the porch because it is right in the back yard. This is a perfect location if you are interested in river rafting (Chattooga River rafting is nearby), if you enjoy hiking, fishing or just enjoy the outdoors this is the place for you. We are close to Clemson, Cashiers NC, Highlands NC and Clayton GA and Chattooga Belle Farms. Hope to host you soon!! If you are traveling by plane I offer other services for your convenience. Contact me for details.

Absolutely loved this property! The host, Kay was wonderful and so nice and really went out of her way to make sure we had a great trip!!The house was very well stocked with everything you need and decorated so cute! Loved the back porch and swing and the outside little free library.. so cute!!Enjoyed the fishing and caught the biggest trout I will probably ever catch in my life.. really enjoyed this!!!Just an overall relaxing and great experience! Will definitely go back and recommend to others! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
Our family had such a great getaway here. The river is fun, the fish were biting, and the property is fun to explore. Definitely a wonderful time for the entire family
Beautiful cabin on the river, beautiful area! Relaxing in and around the river was simply fantastic. The area offers amazing waterfalls and hiking. The owners were so warm and friendly, such a pleasure to meet! My husband and I will certainly be visiting again.
Brought the hubby for a quick getaway. Loved sitting on porch rocking and listening to creek. So peaceful. Great place to recharge before going back to reality.
Enjoyed the stay. Ideal for a relaxing weekend. Quiet, secluded and peaceful. Really enjoyed the sound of the river flowing in the evenings. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Our daughter loved the swing over the water!
Nice little cabin, very clean, located centrally so there’s a lot of places around & within an hour or so drive. Kay was so nice to work with again. We have stayed in 2 of her places & both did not disappoint. She even stocked with groceries for a small fee.
This mountain stream cabin surpassed expectations! It's in a wonderful location with a nice variety of activities in the nearby area, and lots of games and equipment for use on the property. It is very nicely furnished and immaculate. We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor porch listening to the water passing by every night!
This is an awesome mountain getaway. Perfect for unplugging and relaxing. It was right on the river with great access for swimming or sitting with a drink. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely keep it in mind next time we head to the mountains.
Perfect tucked-away cabin on the river. We spent a lot of time on the back porch swing, listening to the river and watching the rain. It was so relaxing! The owners are the nicest people on the planet and go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to be back soon!
Really enjoyed the house. Love the river that runs right to the backyard. Easy access to get in and splash around, lots of fun. House was clean, kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of room for 2 adults. Comfy beds. Loved the back porch. We sat out there and played cards and listened to the river. Highly recommend.
If you are wanting a mountain trip but don’t want the touristy mountain towns in NC, this is the place. Mountain Rest is a quiet little town with beautiful scenery, waterfalls, hiking trails, and scenic rivers. Boar Hogs place was just what we wanted. A little privacy and a beautiful river to play in. Stepping out on the frack Deck and overlooking the river was my favorite. Host was the best. Even invited us over for homemade ice cream.
We enjoyed our two night stay. Highlights were fishing in the river with very good success around 8pm, grilling burgers, and sitting by the fire pit. We also enjoyed playing Jumangi on the back porch while hearing the river. We drove down to Wahalla and enjoyed coffee and local made chocolate chip banana bread pudding at Gather Uptown. We also visited the Chattooga River Fly Shop and picked up a few Father's day gifts and had great conversation. A trip to this area is not complete until you go to Fraisers General Store for fishing stories and tales about Boarhog and Slick.
This little cabin is a gem! My teen son and I stayed here for a few days. We loved how relaxing it was. It was comfortable and clean and the decor is cute and inviting. The beds were super comfortable. We especially loved the porch overlooking the river. My son fished in the river while I looked on. We built a fire in the fire pit and loved the outdoor setting. We were in the area for hiking and white water rafting and this was a great location. Kay was a lovely host and left little goodies like M&Ms and coffee to get us started. We also appreciated the family games. All in all, a great little escape. Can't wait to come back!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and that is a big deal to me. The only issue we had was getting the tv to work. When we did get it to work, the volume kept going out so there was no sound. It wasnt a big deal but i just thought i would mention it. Thank you again for your hospitality.
The property was amazing! The picture does not do it justice. The outdoor space was so inviting and relaxing and romantic for couples. The wifi signal was strong and allowed you to use your modern conveniences. Cant wait to get back there!
The cabin was easy to locate with host directions and upon arrival, we were thrilled! On the river, immaculate, beautifully decorated and stocked better than any home I’ve previously rented. We love to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed. The porch overlooking river was peaceful and relaxing. Our gracious Host was thoughtful in every aspect. We stayed 5 days and no doubt, , we want to visit this cabin again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Boarshead! Kay was incredibly accommodating to our every need and was very responsive with questions. The cabin is beautifully appointed and well stocked with all essentials needed. The river flowing behind the cabin called our name and we enjoyed fly fishing right from the comfort of the property. We have already booked our next stay as we enjoyed it so much!
