"We were in town for parents weekend. Only reasonably priced accommodation. At first I was surprised at how remote the cabins were. But I understand it’s on purpose for people that want to disconnect and enjoy nature. We had no problem finding the place. It was clean. It was cozy. It was an adventure!"

Blue Laurel is nestled in the peaceful little town of Mountain Rest, SC .

10/10 Excellent
"Quaint, serene, clean cabin with a great hostess and easy parking. Bed is very comfortable. Towels are plush. Kitchen is well-stocked. Hostess provided a lot of extras. Perfect getaway for a couple and their fur babies. A/C unit was upstairs and may annoy some light sleepers cutting on and off. Bedroom and bath are upstairs, as well, which may be cumbersome to some who are mobility-challenged. Pups enjoyed walking in the creek. Very steep incline to climb down (and back up) to get to it. Overall, a wonderful place. Would highly recommend and will definitely plan a return visit."
