Reviews for this vacation house rental in Pickens, South Carolina

Pickens vacation house rental rating 55/5
More than expected!
Still in love  Greenville, SC
Review Submitted: June 30, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
To celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary, we were looking for a quiet getaway (raising 5 kids, 3 cats underfoot, living in the city, well, ... you get the picture).

This house was more than we could have hoped for. My wife was delighted as we stepped through the door and saw all the space and light.

Alec and Barbara were perfect hosts, making us feel welcomed while respecting our desire for privacy. They really have thought of everything, including a corkscrew, which I had forgotten!

Camille, Bear and company, the dogs, provide 24/7 security and friendly morning greetings.

If you're looking for a private getaway, this is it!

What a beautiful quite place to wind down
Lois and John  Pembroke Pines, Fl
Review Submitted: July 20, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We just returned from a week at this beautiful place. John, Princess, Duchess and I loved the cabin. I use this term losely since it is much more than a "CABIN" Alec and Barbara thought of everything inside and out. We spent a lot of time just chilling out from our hectic lives here in Pembroke Pines, Fl. We fell in love with this pet friendly lovely place and hope to come back again. Thanks to both of you for a wonderful vacation.

Great Place
Florida 1022  Cocoa, Fl
Review Submitted: June 8, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
I just want to say my Mother and I stayed here for 1 week in the begining of May. What a beautiful place. Alec and Barbara have thought of everything. Alec was very helpful with local information , which allowed us to make the most of our time there. Highly recomend Table Rock Park as well as Casears Head and Jones Gap State Park. Many trails and waterfalls in the area to chose from. Beautiful part of the county.
