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 https://www2.dnr.sc.gov/ManagedLands/ManagedLand/ManagedLand/202
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. https://www.roadtripsandcoffee.com/waterfalls-near-highlands-nc/
Here is a good website for other hikes in the area: https://www.alltrails.com/us/south-carolina/mountain-rest
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 loved it here! There are amazing views of the lake from inside the cabin and from the deck and the dock. The owner had plenty of watercraft (kayaks, etc) for us to use, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The owner was very responsive and helped with any request we had. The lake is small (which we knew) but it's still great for kayaking/paddleboarding, and it's nice that you don't have motor boats making noise and roughing up the water. Definitely a great stay, and we plan to be back!
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy mountain cabin!The cabin was spotlessly clean and incredibly inviting from the moment we arrived. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we slept so well every night. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, which made cooking meals a real pleasure.We loved taking the kayaks out on the beautiful lake and enjoyed the peaceful, serene setting. The location was perfect, with a quick drive to many stunning hikes in the Summer National Forest.Our host was fantastic. Communication was clear, timely, and effective, and the hospitality felt genuinely warm.We would recommend this cabin 10/10 and would definitely return someday. It was exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway!
This was a wonderful cabin to stay in. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing with an awesome lake. There are plenty of activities to do at the cabin or in the nearby areas, we will definitely be back again!

The cabin has a beautiful front view, it’s well equipped with everything needed, and features a cozy, welcoming decor. The hosts were very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend this place.
Absolutely love this cabin and the property. The views and access to the lake are priceless. The amenities are appreciated and our boys love the paddle boards and fishing!
We had a lovely weekend! The kayaks were a big hit with the kids and we enjoyed trying to catch fish from the dock. The trail to the pigpen falls was excellent as well.
The cabin was all promised and more.This is our second year staying and we love it and so do our grandsons.The hostess is great!There are plenty of activities at the cabin and nearby.Looking forward to our next stay.
A beautiful quiet cabin on an extremely peaceful lake. Spent four wonderful days there in perfect relaxation. Everything you need! A lovely set of canoes and paddle boards will really help you to enjoy the water.
Quiet n with a beautiful view. Spent hours in the lake. Will come again n again

About the host
Hosted by Margaret Harrison
We are the Harrison family. My husband, 2 sons and I love going to the lake as often as we can. We live in Augusta Georgia but love Mountain Rest Lake! Fishing, swimming and paddling a boat around the lake are our favorite things to do.
Why they chose this property
We used to camp nearby to visit my mother and sister that both live on Mountain Rest Lake. We were so excited when we found this perfect little cabin.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with our cabin instantly. The view is magnificent and we always enjoy waking up and watching the day begin and come alive on the lake. Watch the birds landing or swimming by and turtles and fish surfacing. If you are an outdoor enthusiast like us you will also love the hiking trails nearby and the Chattoga River is very close also.
