About this property

Private Woodland Retreat. Sleeps 10 Near Greenville & Mountains

  • A Private Woodland Retreat Near Greenville, Travelers Rest & the Mountains

    Escape to a spacious, architect-designed retreat tucked among the trees on 2.72 private acres within a gated 22-acre property in Northern Greenville County. Surrounded by woods, wildlife, and beautiful sunsets, this 3,600-square-foot home sleeps up to 10 guests and was designed for something simple: spending great time together.
    Whether you're gathering for a family getaway, visiting for a wedding, exploring the mountains, cycling the Upstate, attending a college event, or simply looking for a peaceful place to reconnect, this home gives your group plenty of room to spread out—and plenty of reasons to stay together.

    Designed for Gathering
    The heart of the home is its spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, making it easy for everyone to be part of the action. Cook dinner together, linger around the table, play games, or settle in for a relaxed evening after a day of exploring.
    The home was designed by the owner, a local architect, as a place to enjoy time with his own family, and that sense of comfort and connection is reflected throughout the house.

    Guests can enjoy:
    • Accommodation for up to 10 guests
    • Large open kitchen, dining, and gathering spaces.
    • Cozy library with books for all ages
    • Covered outdoor porch for morning coffee, evening drinks, wildlife watching, and relaxing.
    • Indoor and outdoor spaces designed for meals, games, conversation, and time together.
    • Access to a one-mile private nature trail through the surrounding property*
    • Peaceful, wooded surroundings with beautiful sunset views

    *The nature trail is unpaved and includes uneven terrain.

    Close to Greenville—but Surrounded by Nature
    The property offers the best of both worlds: a quiet country setting with easy access to downtown Greenville, Travelers Rest, the Swamp Rabbit Trail, restaurants, shopping, parks, and the Blue Ridge foothills.

    Spend the morning hiking, cycling, golfing, kayaking, or exploring the mountains, then return to the house for dinner and an evening together on the porch.

    In Town for a Wedding?
    The home is conveniently located near many popular Upstate wedding venues, making it an excellent gathering place for families and wedding guests. Nearby venues include Rose Springs Farm, Aurora Farms, The School House, Edinburgh West, Pretty Place, and many others.

Clemson Homecoming Reunion Success

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay this past weekend! We were able to have our friends and children stay under one roof, and it was a great time. The house is laid out very well, and had several spots where the kids could play during the day. This is an excellent spot for those looking for an affordable, peaceful weekend. The owners were super responsive, and the communication was top notch.

Wonderful house and location

This house was large enough for our group to still feel homey but have our own space. Close enough to town it wasn’t a long drive but far enough away to be peaceful! Also we were able to get an early check in with ease and that was a huge help for our travel situation. Finally the owner was so accommodating to our large group and parking needs. We would’ve stayed longer if there was not other reservations.

Beautiful house with welcoming hosts!

The house is beautiful and well-appointed. It has a very unique and appealing floor plan with a lovely library and a long table for family meals. Our kids loved the game room and being able to pick books to read from the library. The communication from the hosts was great! They made us feel very welcome and sounded like they would be quickly available if we had any issues.

Relaxing Retreat

Family members got together to celebrate a wedding. The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We found many perfect gathering places all over the house for conversation, playing some of the many games, watching TV, eating together and exploring the beautiful grounds. Regina was very helpful with any questions that arose. It was a great experience and we would pick this house again if we were to return to the area.

One Fine Spread

This place is really nice. It has really good gathering areas, and Regina does an awesome job (she lives just a couple doors down). We had ppl from 21 to 84 yrs of age for my son’s Furman graduation and all were comfy. We wish it were a little closer to downtown (25 to 30 min…perhaps 15-20 to Furman) but we knew this going in. Really clean and roomy house. Thanks for everything!

Great getaway

Property owner was very easy to contact and highly responsive to all our needs before, during and after our stay. The home was very spacious and had so many games, books and areas for retreat and gathering that it was perfect. The backyard was wonderful for the children’s games, the area was pleasant for strolling and the side yard was super for a final family soccer game. All the bedrooms were delightful and comfortable. Greenville was only 20 minutes away as well as grocery stores and some restaurants. I’d recommend!

Wonderful home for Groomsmen and family

Our son got married at Edinburgh West. This beautiful home is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the venue. We had plenty of room for the out of town groomsmen and family. Our hosts were so kind and helpful! Every minor "wedding emergency" that came up, they helped us solve. Lovely home! Lovely hosts!!! <3

Perfect place for our Reading Retreat

Our book club selected this home for our annual reading retreat and it was perfect. Lots of wonderful space for individual reading as well as group conversation. The home and surroundings were lovely, and the kitchen was spacious with lots of cooking supplies. The screened porch was very inviting. We just had adults with us, but there was lots of books and games for families, too. We loved that it was a short drive to Greenville. Communication with the host was excellent. Lots of nice memories made with friends in this beautiful home.

Thanksgiving Reunion

We hosted a Thanksgiving celebration with extended family. The house was perfect- it was very clean and it was amazingly well-equipped with cookware, bakeware, and dishes. The outside spaces were really fantastic and it was close to downtown Greenville. Ben and Regina were super responsive to all my questions ahead of our celebration (oven size, type of coffee maker, grill) and responded immediately when we had questions during our stay. The house had lots of space to spread out and it was great having a gaming space upstairs for the teens so we could still watch football downstairs. We also really loved the Ping-Pong table in the garage. People played all weekend and it never bothered those of us cooking, watching TV or playing cards. We had enough chaos without pets, but I believe some are allowed with owner permission and the fenced yard would make bringing them really easy. I haven't had much experience with VRBO and rented this based off reviews. The house really lived up to the great reviews and I would absolutely go back to this property. If I had to come up with one criticism, we could have used a few extra rolls of paper towels and toilet paper for our big crowd, but those were easily acquired from a nearby store. I would highly recommend this rental if looking for a house near Greenville.
