This Property was purchased by Grandfather in the 70s  and then was passed to my Mother. In 2013 I decided to live life differently and start from the ground up building with natural materials and found materials. At that time I was fortunate enough to have the land passed to me and I started building a home for myself and to be close to my mothers home nearby. After achieving the basics I decided that the best use of this beautiful land was to create a place for people to relax and enjoy, a park like environment dedicated to preserving natural beauty and amplifying it through a permaculture lifestyle. 8 years later I am blown away at how far the dream has become a reality and love sharing my space with people from all over the country.

Jen and Joe moved to the South Carolina Upstate in 2023 and discovered they were within minutes of the Foothills Trail. The trail is 76.2 miles of waterfalls, rivers, and mountains stretching from Oconee State Park to Table Rock State Park. As soon as the oldest child moved out of his room above the garage, we started hosting thru-hikers hostel-style. Fair warning: it’s an “open concept” bathroom, true studio style. Great for one person but could be awkward for two. **Please note: all reviews pre-May 2023 are for Flamingo Pad, our now-closed RV site in Tampa** We love meeting new people and helping them enjoy all the beauty and adventure in the upstate. Hiking, biking, kayaking, oh my! Visit us at Hiker's Haven -- can't wait to meet you!

4 nights at Creekside Cabin - Lake Hartwell

The place was beautiful and the views were too. Lots of amenities available. Good price points. It had a welcome book pointing out what's available in the area and how to get to them. Would recommend.

4 nights at Creekside Cabin - Lake Hartwell

We enjoyed the remoteness of the location and only 20 mins away from the exit and general shopping/food. Everything was clean and worked well even in the cold during new years. It was a great relaxing time away from everything.

4 nights at Cozy Lux Mountain Cabin

This cozy cabin on the mountain was absolutely perfect for our family. Everything log. Beautiful. Little hikes through the backyard, coffee and book with a blanket on the porch, games and movies by the fireplace. Owners are awesome. We're already planning our return!

4 nights at Hiker's Haven

It is impossible to state how lovely this location and hosts are! Every accommodation and possible need was sumptiuously met. The room had a plush sense of comfort and a thoughtful design for utility. It is a perfect location for endless hiking and historical adventures, and the town of Pickens is adorable yet also full of every necessary type of shop or eatery. The property is impeccable and peaceful. The hosts clearly love their home, town and nature. They were deeply kind and were a wealth of information about area hikes and destinations!

Weekend Trip to Tumble Down Shack

Richie was a great host and the shack was cute. The land is just uphill of the host's main house. You don't have to worry about the shared property because he respects your privacy. He said hello to us when we arrived and then we saw him again just before we checked out. It rained each night we stayed here and the shack kept us warm and dry.

4 nights at Creekside Cabin - Lake Hartwell

I have to say, this was hands-down the best organized, cleanest, easiest, most amenity-laden cabin I’ve ever rented. So many details, from the embroidered robes to the bound book of instructions and recommendations. From the kitchen appointments to the coffee. There are really too many amazing little things to list here, but you could really tell the owners absolutely care about the experience their property provides. And we went panning for gold in the creek below the back deck and even found a little! It was incredibly comfortable and lots of fun. Just make sure you’re ok with stairs and aren’t too large to fit the spiral to the loft. I honestly cannot think of a single improvement to make. Didn’t even matter that it rained so much, because there was plenty left to do inside.

Weekend Trip to Tumble Down Shack

Fun spot, unique and had the right balance of creature comforts but still enjoying the outdoors and the things that make camping fun like cooking outside, camp fires, watching the stars, etc.

Lovely cabin, not too rustic for a small family retreat. Cool amenities, beautiful setting.

The Nest is equally as cute from outside

Weekend Trip to The Nest on Laurel Drive

The Nest was the perfect getaway for me and my dog. It's comfy, cozy, and clean. It's a great location if you want to explore all the natural beauty WNC has to offer. It's small, but has everything you might need and the hot shower was a big plus after spending the day outside.

2 nights at Chalet Suzanne of Helen

Cabin was absolutely gorgeous, Susan and her cleaning lady was very accommodating, especially considering we made last minute reservations. The cabin and location were pretty good, my only complaints would be that the gas fireplace didn't seem to work, and the hot tub was an inflatable tub instead of a full size hot tub, and we couldn't seem to find the remote for the downstairs television. These slight issues aside, the cabin itself was still quite lovely and we enjoyed our time there.

Weekend Trip to Winding Stair Campground

We had an outstanding visit to the River House - everything at the house & at Winding Stairs is extremely well thought out & made our stay & experience wonderful. Pictures & words don’t do it justice. Thank you to Robyn & staff!

This was the perfect get away with my partner and our dogs! The hot tub was a perfect way to unwind and the location felt very secluded and private. Elisabeth was super responsive and helpful!

Small campfire to enjoy the beautiful peace in late summer

Weekend Trip to The Nest on Laurel Drive

Loved staying at The Nest. It was cozy with everything we needed to enjoy our time. We were able to go hiking, drive easily to stores, or restaurants as needed and come back to enjoy the beautiful space that has been created for guests.

1 night at 3 Creeks Camp and Nature Preserve

Absolutely amazing experience. We stayed at the creek house and it was the cutest little place right over the creek. Damon was super friendly and met us and showed us around. Will def try to visit again.
