The listing needs to be updated. Not only is there no dock on the river, there are also no stairs leading to it. I don't know if it's a VRBO issue, or listing issue, but special instructions (specific directions, and checkout procedures) need to be much easier to find/ reference back to. Otherwise, we had an excellent stay. It was peaceful and quite. Would definitely stay here again.

The Happy Place cabin in Mountain Rest SC

The cabin was nice and clean, the property was quiet and located next to a little stream which was nice to listen to while sitting on the front porch. Good proximity to Walhalla and to various hikes with numerous waterfalls.

Perfect remote cabin!

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin with our dogs. The cabin is remote and secluded so it was peaceful and relaxing. We caught several trout and enjoyed our stay. There is a Market DG within 10 minutes of the cabin for any small needs you may have. Loved the location & cabin—would visit again.

Cabin in the mountains

The cabin and the property were very relaxing and loved the property. It is set back in the mountains. The GPS directions is wrong so follow the directions from the owner.

It was a wonderful little cabin, we enjoyed our stay very much. Management neglected to update the listing title as the dock no longer exists. There is access to the river but no dock. We loved the location and the peace of the river.
