Description
Relax and enjoy the deck of this beautiful cabin or take a kayak or the canoe out on the water.

Kids indoor games and toys are available.

Come stay with us and enjoy our little slice of heaven on Mountain Rest Lake.

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.

Here is a good website for other hikes in the area:

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!

Quaint, Quiet, Quality

This house is nestled in a beautiful spot right on the lake with a gorgeous view! The house was cozy but provided all of the amenities that one could need for a quiet mountain weekend. We had a great time and would definitely book here again.

We loved our stay at this cabin! It was just perfect for a 5 day stay on our honeymoon. We loved that there was kayaks there and spent a lot of time on the super peaceful lake! Beautiful in the evenings! Also very friendly people in the area. We went to the mountain rest Baptist church and really appreciated the friendliness there!

Scenic and Serene

Very clean and cozy lakehouse with great view of private lake. Easy lake/dock access for fishing, reading, canoeing, or just relaxing and taking in the view. Everything was provided; all we had to bring was food. Good restaurants close by as well. Would come again and bring our two grandkids.

Wonderful location

The cabin is perfect, it has everything you could need plus some. The queen bed was very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and the AC works great! The two tiered deck was perfect for grilling and eating meals. The dock is a short walk from the deck and setup for fishing and using the kayaks/paddle boards. The waterfalls in the area are a must! We visited 3 and loved all of them. Would definitely come back!

Quiet Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the cabin with the beautiful view of the lake. It was very quiet and relaxing; we kayaked early in the morning and in the evening when the sun went down over the trees. Also met the resident goose, "Ralphie" and enjoyed his company. Great host who responded quickly to questions. We look forward to staying again in the future!

Cozy little cabin in the lake

So cozy, so peaceful-absolutely loved our stay. Perfect place to come back to relax, drink coffee on the deck, swim in the lake, jump off the dock and take the kayaks out for a spin! Oh and the view….loved it! Owner gave us all the information we needed, answered our questions, made suggestions-made communication very easy. Thank you for everything!

Perfect getaway!

My husband and I came to celebrate our 7yr wedding anniversary! It was perfect. We can’t recommend this enough! The host are extremely accommodating and made our stay even better! We had to change the date last minute and they helped us with no hesitation! We relaxed, fished, enjoyed a near by hike, and felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves. We can’t wait to come back with the kids and let them experience Mt Lake Rest!

Wonderful stay, great location.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin and enjoyed our time at the little lake. I had booked it for my wife's birthday and we were there with our two children (ages 8 & 11). The cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Dishes, utensils, cookware, grills, kayaks, life jackets, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. The amenities were abundant and thoughtful. We enjoyed the little private dock, kayaking around the lake, swimming, and fishing, although we didn't catch anything. The evenings were quiet and relaxing while we cooked and played board games. For anyone who can't disconnect, the cabin has high speed WiFi, which is appreciated, since we had no service through T-Mobile. The lake and surrounding area was serene and peaceful, just what we were looking for. The cabin is a hidden gem and we will definitely return in the future.

Felt like home away from home

I want to give a very special thank you to the owner, who accommodated me during a hard time. That was very kind of you. The cabin was beautiful and had a very close to home vibe. I brought my niece and 2 young daughters. They were in awe. We had fun swimming in the lake, jumping from the dock and eating breakfast while watching the sunrise. So beautiful. If you have any doubts about booking, JUST DO IT!!! So worth it.

Mountain Rest Thanksgiving

The view of the lake from this cabin is spectacular! We enjoyed walking out on the dock and sitting for a while. Great location for pictures. The cabin is very nice inside with beautiful pine paneling and interesting decor. The cabin had everything we needed for a long weekend trip. We enjoyed riding the mountain roads and exploring some of the nearby parks. We hope to return again for another relaxing weekend.
