Surrounded by forest is this tiny house, built back in the late nineties with a beautiful sunset view over looking a small meadow and garden. The ‘shack’, built with an artist flare and small budget by a close friend and his wife features, a small kitchen with stained glass; inlayed between the logs creating a cozy place to create a meal with herbs and seasonal veggies from the garden!Located in the foothills of upstate South Carolina just a couple miles from lake Tugaloo and the Chattooga River, stands the Tumbledown Shack. This tiny house was named and built in the late nineties by a couple of musicians and close friends with love and happiness in their hearts and not a lot of money in their pockets. As you enter the property straight ahead is the main house where I live. Just up the hill is the cabin. The cabin features a small kitchen and a cozy nook for relaxing. The kitchen offers a double sink with cold water only. A small four burner stovetop and pie table top for preparing food. The oven is out of order at the moment. Entering the kitchen you will notice stained glass in between the tiny logs. Lit on the inside by the light of day and at night outside is lit from the inside lights. Also in the kitchen area is a small cozy sleeping knook with double windows that open fully to give you that outdoorsy feel. Most of the windows don’t have screens as of late so bugs are kept at bay with fans. It’s nature man. There is an upstairs bedroom with a full sized bed and window views on three sides. Downstairs is a small room with a single bed. On the east side of the shack is an outdoor toilet that is private and covered. Outside the cabin facing west features a porch and outdoor kitchen and seating area set up for cooking with wood either on the pot belly stove or over an open grill in the fire pit that is built into the retaining wall. There is a kitchen sink on the outside of the house with running cold water. As of yet there is no hot water or shower due to heater malfunction but there are other ways to heat water. There is a hose with a shower head. West of the cabin is a tent site and picnic table on your way to the garden area. Also there are many spots to pitch a tent in the woods. This site is perfect for anyone interested in art, nature, meditation, river excursions, lake activities, trail hiking, motorcycle, cycling, fishing, or just plain porch sitting! Please contact me for updates prior to booking. Please. Thanks. P. S. There is a wonderful outdoor shower at the main house which is just down the hill from the shack.

unw away to the tumble down shack

Richie was a fantastic host! Such a nice and secluded escape. Very comfortable bed and was quiet and secluded. Had a very rustic feel and showed a ton of creativity. More than enough firewood available for your use. We definitely recommend getting away from the world and enjoying this little shack surrounded by the woods.

Rustic heaven

Richie's place was absolutely perfect for what I needed. It was cozy. It was warm. It was comfortable and it was very rustic. What I especially love is that he was so accommodating to my needs. He was a godsend to me! It's also close to some beautiful waterfalls and lots of hiking trails and just a really gorgeous area. If you're going to that area I would definitely recommend it.

Tumbledown Shack

Renaissance Magical Escape

The Shack has a Renaissance feel. Serenity. The shack is well equipped for your basic needs. Comfortable space both inside and outside. Daisy, the host's dog smiles. She and host make you feel welcomed. The host is accommodating and knowledgeable. It was a joy spending three days there with my little dog! We look forward to a return visit.

Sweet little cabin, just what we needed! Richie was an excellent host. Quiet and relaxing. Dogs can run free. Primitive but had everything we needed. Will be staying here again….
