Carolina Cottage- Private lakefront retreat in Mountain Rest, SC
Cozy Lakefront Retreat on Mountain Rest Lake
Welcome to your peaceful getaway on beautiful Mountain Rest Lake in Mountain Rest, South Carolina. This charming lakefront home features 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, perfect for families or a small group of friends looking to relax, explore, and reconnect with nature.
Step outside to find a private dock just a few steps from the front porch, where you can launch the kayaks or small boat (included with your stay), cast a fishing line, or simply soak in the serene mountain views. Enjoy mornings with coffee or evenings with dinner on the spacious patio, complete with a large dining table and charcoal grill—all overlooking the water.
Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen ready for home-cooked meals, a cozy sunroom with a TV and fireplace, and a washer and dryer tucked conveniently next to the half bath. The full bathroom features a step-in shower, and the home sleeps 6 comfortably with two queen bedrooms and one bedroom with twin beds.
Additional amenities include:
• A shed stocked with lifejackets, fishing gear, and kayak storage
• A private gravel driveway with parking for three vehicles
• Easy handrail access to both the lake and driveway
• Private wooded lot
• Generator in the event of lost electricity
This peaceful lake community is tucked in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and just a short drive to scenic towns and attractions like Walhalla, SC; Clayton, GA; Highlands & Cashiers, NC; Clemson University; and several state parks and waterfalls.
Whether you’re looking to fish, kayak, explore nearby mountain towns, or simply unwind by the fire, this is the perfect place to do it.
Book your stay and experience lakeside living at its best.
