Wake up and watch the morning come alive overlooking the lake from the living room and watch the sun going down each evening. Kitchen is fully equipped. The deck is perfect to grill dinner on the charcoal grill, and enjoy the lake views. We have the best view on the lake.

Kids indoor games and toys are available.

Come stay with us and enjoy our little slice of heaven on Mountain Rest Lake.

Here is a list of things to do in the area, including hiking trails, a nice drive and a short diverse restaurant selection.

Walhalla fish hatchery

The Chattooga River and many hiking trails are nearby.

Yellow Branch Trail is one of our favorite regular hikes. It’s close by and takes about 2 hours in and out to the waterfall by we usually spend about 3 hours due to playing in the falls.

Across the road from Yellow Branch is Stump House Tunnel. Bring flashlight. Once in the park the tunnel is to the left and the waterfall is to the right. The tunnel is completely dark and is damp inside, but fun. Short hikes but nice waterfall and interesting tunnel to nowhere.

Also from our neighborhood, turn left onto Hwy 28, go to the bridge at the Chattoga River and hike upstream. I don’t know the name of this one but it’s nice and follows the river. Good fishing here also.

It’s a little drive but look up Turtle Back Falls. It’s a very nice hike along a river and passes several falls. It can be quite busy. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/north-carolina/rainbow-falls-and-turtleback-falls-trail

All about waterfalls
https://www.highlandschamber.org/surrender/waterfalls/

Just on the other side of Highlands NC, about a 40 minute drive is Hwy 64 and it has 3 waterfalls along it. Easy to get to all 3: Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, Bust your Butt Falls. Just a fun drive with easy little walks. If you just want an easy day you could drive through Highlands, see the waterfalls then drive to Clayton Ga and back to Mountain Rest Lake. Clayton traffic for about 2 miles through town can be a bear on the weekends in the fall. It’s a nice loop and there are restaurants in Clayton and Highlands.

Walhalla restaurants
We usually eat at Puerto Nuevo Mexican & Seafood Restaurant in Walhalla. Something on the menu for everyone. It’s nothing fancy but the food is good.

Dakota Grill, just down the hill towards Walhalla. Food is usually quite good. Closed for the winter season.

If you don’t mind driving a little farther (20 minutes) we like Paesano's Italian Restaurant in Seneca.

Enjoy!

Quiet Getaway with a Mountain Lake View
I have been to the area a few times. Explored for the trout fishing and breathtaking waterfalls. The rental was a real treat. Great location on a lake with a beautiful view. I am definately planning on returning for future visits.

Cozy Lakeside Cabin Getaway
We had a lovely experience at this cabin with an amazing view overlooking Mountain Rest Lake. We loved taking out the kayaks and canoes! The inside of the cabin was incredibly cozy place to relax. We spent the evening playing Cranium and other board games with the family. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Note: a few things seemed stocked but were just empty containers (i.e. foil, sugar)

Lovely Mountain and Lake retreat!!
We had so much fun here with our 3 grandsons! We all enjoyed their kayaks, canoe, paddle boards, and peddle boat. And jumping off the dock together! Beautiful lake and view of the lake from the front room. The house is very clean and we had what we needed for simple meals. We would definitely return. And a big thank you to our helpful and gracious hosts!!

Mostly just enjoyed relaxation. Had access to everything we needed for a quick getaway. Will skip the Yellow Branch Falls trail next time. Getting too old for that.
