Cozy cabin getaway
This cabin was awesome! The location is super quiet and peaceful with the river out front. The driveway is long and allows you to feel secluded and tucked away in your own little oasis. The cabin itself is very clean and super cozy for a nice weekend getaway.

Excellent getaway
My wife and I spent our 10 hear anniversary here and specifically chose this location for privacy and the river views and it did not dissappoint. The cabin itself is very nice and has everything you need and is very comfortable and cozy. The firepit and outside seating makes for a very inviting and comfortable outside space too. The river itself is very calm and serene,and it would make a great spot to do some trout fishing if one desired.I would highly recommend this for a couples retreat or a small family to enjoy.

Great Cabin Getaway!
If you're looking for a great place to get away with great views, go ahead and book this one! This cabin is clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. We stayed two nights and had everything we needed. We took a dip in the creek that runs right outside the cabin. My wife says we'll be staying here again.

This truly is a Hidden Gem
River Haven was the most magical, beautiful little hideaway. Tucked out of the way, down a long dirt road through beautiful wooded property, this tiny house opens up to a beautiful river. The house was perfectly appointed with all our needs perfectly met. We enjoyed wading in the water outside and sunning on the rocks. Would definitely enjoy visiting here again.

Beautiful Setting, Cute Modern Cottage, Super Clean
We loved staying here and look forward to returning to the area! The cottage is modern, very clean, and well stocked. My family really enjoyed the proximity to the river, just steps from the porch. Communication with the host was prompt and professional. Check in/out was a breeze. Definitely recommend! Five stars :)

Retreat
Loved the house and the view. The river was very soothing. The only drawback was the ruts in the road which my car couldn’t navigate so I got stuck. The owners kindly called a tow truck for me.

The Perfect River Hideaway
The property is literally just how it’s pictured. So cute very modern house with so much privacy and an insanely gorgeous view. We only left the place once to go see some waterfalls and the Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel(I highly suggest checking it out) and the rest of the days I floated on a float and my boyfriend fished right there in the backyard. We spent the evenings by the fire pit and enjoying listening to the creek on the swing and hammock. Will absolutely be returning. Just a heads up the driveway is pretty steep and I would suggest doing what we did and just bringing a couple coolers with groceries. 10/10 29th birthday trip.

My husband took the kids here for a little getaway before starting back at school. They thoroughly enjoyed it. The kids were able to spend most of their time in the river either floating or fishing. They caught several fish every day.

Beautiful
The property was absolutely beautiful. It was the relaxing getaway we were looking for. Went white water rafting about 20 min away and just down the road was a 1 mile hike to falls and swimming hole. Also fished and played in the river on the property grounds. Phone service/wifi was hit or miss on the property, but disconnecting was not necessarily a bad thing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

Exceeded expectations
The property was breathtaking. No matter which window you looked out you were surrounded by the forest and some directions you could almost reach out and touch the slow flowing river. I am one that loves to cook however, on this trip, I did not but the kitchen had everything you could imagine .Utensils, dishes, pots, and pans , bottle openers. The bathroom had plenty of towels and face cloths. To side porches were fantastic citronella candle to keep away the bugs in the evening Floor to ceiling windows in the living room and the bedroom. You were so secluded that it felt like you could almost reach out and touch the stars. They were so brilliant you could lay in bed and look out the top windows and see the moon. I cannot say enough about this property. I stayed in many VRBO’s. it took a while for me to get the television to work. That was not a drawback for me because I wanted to get away from the city and social media. There were plenty of information sheets supplied be sure to go to Steph’s steaks. Owners originally from Philadelphia this place had the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had in South Carolina and I have been living here for 10 years shout out to them. I hope the next guest enjoys it as much as I did, thank you for allowing me to stay at your property Joyce S.

Cozy Riverside Cabin in a Peaceful, Secluded Setting
This contemporary cabin, a Clayton Homes i-house, is the perfect size for a couple and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. A gated private road through hilly woods leads to this peaceful, private, and secluded property on the banks of the Chauga River. The setting is very quiet other than the sound of water rushing over the shallow rapids. River Haven is a relaxing, romantic, enjoyable vacation.
