“The Cabin” is a great property, and Mary’s communication was excellent. The blizzard of 2026 resulted in the cancellation of our flight and Mary was prompt and helpful with flexible arrangements. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the beds very comfortable. The extra tv room upstairs is great if the kids want to get away and do their own thing. I’d recommend this property to others.
We had a great stay in the cabin. It was very clean and comfortable with a very family friendly layout. The owner was easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again.
This place was the perfect stay for a weekend at Clemson. The space was even better than expected and had plenty of room. Only a short drive from campus, this home is highly recommended for anyone visiting for a game or any other occasion.
remote, secluded forest feel, but only a 10-15 min drive to Clemson. owners live in another home on property but large track of land. everything looked brand new with quality materials. photos are very accurate but it was even bigger/spacious with more room than appeared. we cooked a couple of meals and everything worked and all cookware was there.
The Storybook Caretakers Cabin is wonderful!!
We have stayed here previously and will again in the future. Everything is as described in the VRBO posting and the host is very easy to work with. The cabin setting is fantastic. I wish we could come more often than we do.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was absolutely perfect for our needs—comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Everything was beautiful, from the interior details to the surrounding scenery. The location was ideal as well, offering both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere. We would definitely love to come back again!
This property was amazing. Close to everything yet secluded. House was quiet, cozy and beds were very comfortable. Lots of space throughout. Mary’s communication was great. We will stay here for future visits.
Best house we stayed at over the 4 yrs while coming to Clemson during our child’s college career. Saved “the best for last”. Extremely clean and comfortable. Cabin luxury in both feel and amenities. Close to campus, lakes and Centrals shops. And can’t say enough about how responsive and polite the host Mary is. Highly recommend!
Words cannot express how cozy this little cabin is! Everything was completely perfect! The host was so helpful and was always answering my questions promptly. Pictures does not do this cabin justice! If you want a quiet getaway, this is your place! Everything was so clean and it had practically everything you needed already there. I will definitely be staying again in the near future!
Wonderful place! Grandkids absolutely loved this cabin! The surroundings are peaceful and lend a sense of adventure for the kids. Definitely a repeat for us!
We stayed in the Storybook Caretaker's Cabin in the Woods while dropping our daughter off for college. It's a beautiful, modern and cozy cabin that was perfect for our family. Only wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Mary Pfeiffer, for such a wonderful stay!
Property owners couldn’t have been more helpful and professional. Every aspect of the stay was handled smoothly and quickly even though there were a few speed bumps from our end.
The cabin is new and everything works just as you would expect from a new home. The WiFi was quick (a necessity for us) but the fire pit was probably my favorite spot.
We have stayed at the Storybook Caretaker’s Cabin in previous trips to Clemson and it’s always wonderful. This trip did not disappoint.
The cabin and it’s associated property are very well maintained. Even on this trip when a storm had recently passed through the area. Communication with the host was seamless and ensured we had everything we needed.
Went to the mountains for the weekend for a kids camp. This was a great little cabin on the owner's property. Cabin looked brand new. The 4 of us were very comfortable. No tvs in the bedrooms but it wasn't a problem. 1 tv in the living space upstairs and 1 in the living space downstairs. Plenty of towels and linens. Close to downtown Central and a few minutes to Clemson. Plenty to eat both places. Had a wonderful time and absolutely would recommend this cabin!
Great place, Nice and friendly Host, but beware of hidden cost
Loved the place, perfect for what we needed. But, it says it sleeps 8 and we had 5 people but got charged an extra 300.00 for "extra guest fee"...this was on top of cleaning charges, taxes, etc. When I asked her about this extra charge she said it was normal and for the cleaning gal...but like I said, that was a separate charge that I knew up front and was fine with. I would have never rented this place if had known about the hidden charges...live and learn.
Communication problem with host concerning how many family members and guest I could have visit for the afternoon. We were not having a party, being loud, playing loud music or anything of the sort. We respect other peoples property and rules. I had asked if my family could come for a visit around 2 and told the host they were adults and would be gone by 6 to 7 pm. We did not discuss a number of people or number of cars. Apparently she forgot her discussion with me about them coming.I was embarrassed and my family was embarrassed when I was sent a message that the number of cars and people there was unacceptable. The Host later said that she and her husband felt more comfortable after coming over and meeting some of my family, but by then it was too late they all packed up and left. The Cabin and the property is beautiful and I can understand why they want to protect it. Only thing I am upset about was the host saying “please let them come , we enjoy sharing our property” but then evidently forgot she had told me it would be okay. So just make sure you communicate well with how many guest you can have before you rent here.
Perfect location for a Clemson weekend and comfy accommodations and bedding. Clean and well maintained. High end appliances, furniture, finishings and cookware. Nice fire pit.
