Good communications, AC on when I arrived, nice rural setting. Many unexpected amenities (for example - key to front door had flashlight attached... very thoughtful)

The listing descriptive was right on. Clean and safe, hot shower. Beth left the key and was easy to get ahold of. Very pleasant stay, Thank You.

This was a nice, clean little place in a quiet neighborhood. The wifi was fast. Beth was a great host and provided everything I needed. I was here a little over two weeks while I was working in the area and will be staying here again in the future.

Great place. I stayed there for a month and had no issues. Has everything for one to two people to live in comfortably. It's right at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and I could be at Table Rock or Sassaffrass Mtn. in under a half hour! Would definitely stay there again.

I had a great stay in Beth's Mother-in-law apartment. I actually stayed here several days while I was working on a writing assignment. Beth has equipped the apartment with everything a person would need for their stay. She was also very prompt and helpful to answer any questions I had. Pickins also proved to be a great area. I would particularly recommend renting a bike from Pedal'n Shak and taking a stroll on the Doodle Trail, which is a bike trail that starts near down town Pickens. Pedal'n Shak is located near the start of the trail.

This was such a unique and great experience. Just what I needed, a quiet getaway while staying in SC. Wish I could've met Beth, it's nice of them to open up their cabin for guests.

Everything as described, really cozy little one room cottage. Had a great stay!

Yes, although I never met her, she was comfortable with leaving the door open and the key on a desk. The apartment was perfect for what I needed. Very clean, all the needs for a single person, Kuerig coffee maker, microwave, small refrigerator. Great shower head and plenty of hot water. If visiting that area again I would definitely stay there again unless I was with someone besides my spouse. It might be a little small as you can see from her photos. Don't plan on any TV watching, only two or three channels and with all the beautiful hiking and exploring you shouldn't be doing that anyway. Very close and an easy drive to Table Rock State Park.

Mr. Randy's place was perfect for my brother & I! He made us feel very welcomed and was great to just sit and talk with! The house had everything we needed and plenty of space and privacy! The location was within a couple miles from state parks, grocery stores, restaurants, you name it! I highly recommend checking out Table Rock State Park and Sassafras Mountain, along with Horse Pasture Road to Jumping-Off Rock Outlook and Jocassee Lake. They all make for incredible views. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you again, Mr. Randy!

Randy goes above and beyond and made our stay an excellent experience. The view is excellent. He had everything we needed. All new: refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, DVD player ... We will go back and recommend to everyone visiting Pickens.

Randy was an outstanding host for us 4 road cyclists looking to cycle the mountains of South Carolina. The location was perfect and the property was fantastic. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Randy checked with us each day to make sure that it was warm enough for us. He was eager to share his knowledge of the area giving us ideas of places to eat and as cyclists we especially enjoyed the morning weather report he would give us. We found Randy to be extremely friendly and equally gracious. The nicest touch was all the creature comforts that he provided us on top of our stay. If you are looking for bang for your buck, you won't find a better deal.

Derek was a gracious host that saw to our every need. His home was the perfect place for our family. The accommodations were above our expectations. The home was clean and well kept and afforded us the opportunity to have a great weekend. We came for the Pitt vs Clemson game to support our nephew. We thank him for his genuine concern about our family and our circumstances that had occurred. We didn't have any problems navigating around the house as everything was spelled out for us. We would definitely recommend his home for future visits. Even though Derek is a big Clemson fan, he continued to maintain being the perfect host even after Pitt beat Clemson. H2P. Thank you Derek. Keep up the good work. We loved your home.

The host was very organized and communicated promptly. There were no surprises when we arrived.

Carol was an attentive hostess. The treehouse was the perfect place to stay for a weekend in Clemson. We had 4 adults and the fit was cozy, with the 2nd sleeping option being a futon, and the 3rd an air mattress. The treehouse is brand new, being the 3rd group to stay there everything was brand new and very clean!

Carole’s Tree House Overall the Tree House (Completed in Oct 2016) is a very nice place and was perfect for our stay in the area. Carole met us when we arrived and showed us around the area. Her house is on the grounds (Approximately 15 acres) but you cannot really see it from the tree house because there is a carriage house between the two buildings. As you can see in her pictures there is a large tree going through the deck. That tree is an integral part of the tree house and is one of the main support columns(URL HIDDEN)Carole is a very nice person and we had several conversations during our week stay. She even invited us to her birthday Jazz Brunch celebration, but unfortunately we had to head home that day. General Notes: •sThe Tree House was very clean and equipped with all the basics you need for your stay. This included dishwasher detergent, dish washing liquid, etc. It had coffee, sugar, and some flavored creamer. It even had some left over beer in the refrigerator from a renter that Carole said I should drink too. Thanks! •sIt is much nicer than a motel room and cheaper than most in the area too. •sAs stated there is no TV presently in the Tree House. We brought a small portable TV and it picked up several stations with its antenna. •sThe Wi-Fi signal is a little weak in the Tree House right now, but it is usable. That problem will be solved when Carole gets the electricity finished in the Carriage House. •sNote that there are no curtains or blinds on the windows. That did not bother me, but my wife who is not a morning person wakes up when the sun brightens the room and did not like it. •sNote that the area is near a main line train track and you can hear the whistle particularly at night. I actually liked it, but it did wake up my wife. Do not hesitate to rent the Tree House. We will definitely try to stay here again when we return to the area. Thank you for your hospitality.

We had a wonderful time staying in the treehouse! My husband and 3 sons and I were in the area to go to a Clemson baseball game, and this is only about 20 minutes from Clemson's campus. The treehouse is very cool, and my boys thought it was a great adventure! I enjoyed sipping coffee on the porch overlooking the beautiful field while my kids played happily. It's very peaceful and serene. The treehouse was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. If you enjoy a lot of hostess interaction, this is the place for you, too! Carole makes great effort to accommodate. We loved the treehouse and lots of space to run and play. Great weekend getaway for our family!!

Always wanted to live in a tree house! Enjoyed the peace and quiet while watching the antics of the squirrels.

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We were up in liberty for a wedding, and couldn't have asked for a more pleasant retreat! The property is beatutiful and carole went above and beyond to ensure that we felt right at home the second we pulled up. 5 out of 5 easily.

Overall it was a good experience. Carole is very nice lady. Central heat or even larger space heaters would have made our stay great. Thanks for hosting us!

Carole's home is so inviting from the moment you drive up the driveway. The land and surroundings are beautiful. It's very peaceful and private. Perfect for laying in the field on a warm day. The "treehouse" truly is so much like a treehouse. So fun, but very upscale decor and Carole is top notch in filling needs you may have, but also will leave you be if that's what you desire. I highly recommend her accommodations. And will even come back for a quiet little getaway from city life... Thank you Carole. You have been the absolute best!!!

Shannon welcomed us when we arrived. Very easy stay, everything we needed was already provided. Very clean and comfortable. Much better than staying in a hotel.

This was our very first time using Airbnb and I must say Shannon has set the bar very high! She is such a gracious host and her home is amazing. I can't say enough about the entire experience. The location was close to Clemson University and Easley is such a cute little town. Shannon went above and beyond to make this stay special. If you are ever in the area this is a do not miss!!! Thanks again!

We were in town for a Clemson football game, and this house was very convenient. It's about 20 miles outside of Clemson so if you're doing it for a game you'll need a car, but the space itself is quiet, comfortable and awesome. I'd definitely stay here again. We rented Shannon's guest "wing" (i guess you'd call it), which had two bedrooms with a connecting bath and a private entrance we could use as we needed. There was even a small kitchen space just inside. The rooms were very quiet and comfortable, each had it's own "personality" (shannon absolutely knows how to decorate). Everything was clean and just as expected.

Shannon was a great host with a beautiful home. The rooms were pristine, the beds were super comfortable, and she didn't mind our rowdy antics (a bunch of college friends getting together for the Clemson game). She even had snacks and breakfast items for us when we woke up. I 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a place to stay near Clemson or Greenville.

Shannon was an extremely gracious host and her house was exceptional. My husband and I were in South Carolina for the weekend to attend a regatta, and it was a straight shot down to Clemson. The house was in walking distance to a quirky downtown area in Easley. And the dogs!!! They're just about the cutest little pups on the planet. If we ever need to go to Clemson again, we would definitely stay here. Every little detail is so meticulously thought out and the rooms were just wonderful. Shannon was beyond friendly and we loved our stay.

I have stayed in airbnb places many times and this one rates as one of the best!! I was in town for my sons soccer games in Greenville and Easley was quite an easy drive. Shannon greeted me upon my arrival and showed me where key would be and let me choose the room I wanted to stay in. (I chose the gray room which was so lovely!!) We didn't get to spend any more time together after that as she was taking a trip herself over labor day weekend but I enjoyed the interaction we did have. The guest rooms are in the back of a large BEAUTIFUL home so privacy was not an issue. There is also a seperate entrance for you to use. The accomodations were TOP NOTCH!! The bed was super comfortable and the temperature controls were in my room. The decor was beautiful and quite honestly I looked forward to coming back after soccer and piling up in the bed to watch a movie! Shannon also provided a vast array of shampoos, body washes, and lotions. There were big fluffy towels and candles everywhere. I will say that during my stay there was no one else in the second guest room so I did not have to share the bathroom. In the morning Shannon had stocked the mini fridge with bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, and fruit. She provided sparkling water and a full size coffee pot! I slept in both mornings and then jogged around the lovely little town that is Easley. I sat in the back patio area drinking coffee and just enjoying my quiet time before the soccer games began! All in all this was a wonderful airbnb experience!! Shannon is a super host and for the money you will NOT be disappointed! I highly recommend Shannon's place to all airbnb travelers!!

Shannon was the perfect host. Her place is adorable and made us feel right at home. Clean, convenient, and just what we needed for a short trip to Greenville. We truly appreciated her hospitality and making our first Air BnB experience a success.

Wonderful home and gracious host. Shannon's home is beautiful and peaceful, a true gem near the Greenville area. Her home is completely focused on the comfort of her guests. Great private space for the business traveler or tourist alike. Thanks much.

Twila was amazingly accomodating. The stay was immaculate in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. The fresh strawberries after a long shift were such a delightful treat. I look forward to staying their soon.

Always a pleasure staying at Twila and Mike's place. I look forward to staying soon again.

Everything about this experience was awesome. Twila, was very flexible on arrival and extremely helpful and kept constant communication with us through text message. The space was clean, inviting and private in a quiet neighborhood. Please don't hesitate to stay here; I'll be back for sure!

It was a downpour when I showed up and Twila was waiting with her garage door open letting me pull in out of the rain. She gave me a quick tour, let me know I could text her if I had any questions, and then she left me alone. She texted later that night checking to make sure all was OK. The room was actually nicer than advertised, with several amenities to include a refrigerator, coffee maker, and snacks/drinks. Although it was a short stay, I got a great nights sleep, and an excellent start to the next day. Many thanks for a wonderful overnight stay, and I would definitely stay here again.

Twila was very friendly and Helpful! This was our first airbnb experience and we were more than satisfied. The loft was super clean, very roomy and private and the bed was sooo comfy too. Twila added several little personal touches to the room to make it feel homey and welcoming & it was athe a great price too! We will definitely stay with Twila & Mike again if we are in the area. Thanks again Twila!

Twila is an excellent hostess and communicator. I felt very comfortable and slept like a baby. Will recommend to friends!

Twila's comfortable garage apartment was just as described-- clean, well-equipped and comfortable. It has the advantage of privacy for those who want a space to themselves, but with a local host nearby who can give advice on things to see and do. Its a nice residential neighborhood and you can drive into the garage, so you have covered parking for your vehicle. When we arrived, Twila was quick to greet us and show us around. She had the kitchen area well supplied with snacks and breakfast foods. The kitchen is well-equipped if you want to microwave meals and eat there. The bathroom was quite nice and had an abundance of towels. The bed is very comfortable and there's a blow-up bed that can be used to accommodate extra people. There's plenty of room for hanging and storing your clothes and anything you've brought for your trip. Best of all is Twila herself. She was always smiling and gracious, looking for any way she could help our stay be more relaxing and comfortable. She checked in by text several times to see if we needed anything. I can't imagine a better host and would happily go back and stay in this listing again.

Twila met me at the car, had me drive right on in to the garage & gave me the tour of her roomy loft suite. Twila messaged me to see if there was anything I needed - I felt right at home and lacked for nothing. The loft is spacious & extremely comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet & relaxing. I enjoyed our leisurely visit on her front porch...felt like good friends catching up on life. Selection of fresh fruit, breakfast bars, refreshing beverages, homemade jam too :) I proudly recommend Twila's loft...this my first Airbnb experience and she has set the bar quite high!

Jenny met us at the cabin to insure everything was in order for us and to answer any questions we may have. Her cabin was very clean, and everything was there to have a great holiday weekend on the deck by the river. Very private location yet easy to get too. King bed is a huge plus! Thank You!

We needed to escape the hurricane in Charleston and found Jenny's place at the 11th hour. Could NOT have been more responsible or accessible. Plus we discovered a brand new part of the world. Quiet relaxing forest beside a flowing creek. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Great first airbnb experience at the "upscale home away from home"! The host made it very easy for us to gain access upon arrival and it exceeded expectations. Gorgeous, clean! and spacious home in a peaceful neighborhood/golf community. Great location as well -- 5 min drive from hiking at table rock, 10 min drive to a SC winery (who knew?) and 10 min drive to grocery store, etc. Plus extremely comfortable beds :) Highly recommend!

Our stay at Aaron's was great! Beautiful home and beautiful scenery. The house is cozy and very comfortable. We can't wait to visit again!

Amazing!!!! the pictures were good but definitely don't do this place justice! I was astounded at the size of the cabin! Everything you could need was there, an amazing location as well, we managed 4 state parks and other outdoorsy things in our 5 days there. Really did feel like a home away from home, will definitely be staying here again! can not recommend highly enough!

This cabin is truly upscale in all ways and we also felt at home instantly! It is quiet and private in a great location. Aaron was very easy to communicate with and made the experience even better! We definitely want to come back to stay in this home again!

This cabin experience was absolutely perfect! It was clean, felt new, and was very spacious! We could have brought two more families with us and would still have had plenty of room. We will definitely consider this place again if we come back to South Carolina. We loved staying here!

Very nice cabin, quiet and private location. Picken's is a short drive with grocery and restaurants. Lots of good hiking options close by.

Aaron had everything ready for us when we arrived. House was clean, sheets were on the beds and the blow up mattress was easy to find and setup. We were in town for a wedding and the location was perfect - only 20 minutes away from the wedding venue. Three couples and 2 children - we had plenty of room!!

This house is beautiful and very close to great hiking trails! There was more than enough room for 2 couples and could very easily accommodate 3 couples with plenty of room to spare. We loved the pool table and games in the "game room", and we enjoyed eating breakfast on the front balcony (70 degree days in December? We'll take it!). Thanks for letting us stay at this fantastic cabin!

Very comfortable and clean. Great assortment of breakfast items. We loved having the use of a full well equipped kitchen.

Bob and Doris were wonderful hosts and even stayed up to greet us at midnight when we had been driving for 17 hours! It is adorable and made our stay to move out son into his dorm...feel like home! The breakfast goodies were perfect and so nice to have in the mornings! Beds were comfortable and would stay here again!

We had a lovely visit at this home. Very clean and spacious and the hosts were very generous with food items in the home. We were close enough to be able to get back and forth to Clemson without a great deal of driving and far enough that we were able to feel like we were out in the country. An excellent choice for anyone staying in the area!!

Sweetest couple, beautiful home, perfect location very convenient to Clemson. Immaculate and very well appointed!!!

Bob & Doris are amazing hosts! Thank you for sharing this wonderful home. It was so relaxing and peaceful, especially the front porch. We really enjoyed our stay and the beds are very comfortable. A perfect spot!

What a great place to stay! I highly recommend this place to anyone who is considering a stay in this area. Bob answered all of my questions before I booked and even provided me with his phone number in case I had additional questions. Bob was very helpful with recommendations for the area and were extremely knowledge about Clemson. What a delight to stay at bobs house and attend a Clemson football game!

Everything was exactly as described and we really appreciated Bob and Doris staying up to meet us on our late arrival (we also really appreciated the cakes they left for us). They were lovely, gracious hosts who treated us like friends rather than paying guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Gary & Julie from England.

Bob and Doris were great hosts! You have the whole house to yourself so you can make yourself right at home. We went to see the Clemson vs Louisville game and we found it easy enough to get an Uber to and from the Stadium.

What a great place! Beautiful home less than 15 minutes from Clemson. Perfect for football weekends. Clean with very comfortable beds. Very accommodating host!

Great place to stay. Very clean and accommodating. Diane made good contact with us multiple times leading up to the stay. She had the place ready to go with easy instructions. Absolutely recommend staying with her for my next Clemson football game trip.

Awesome place to stay!

The listing was as described. We stayed for one night so that we could attend a night game at Clemson. It was fairly close to the stadium (about 15 minutes) and easy to find. The house was very clean and organized, and we enjoyed the fireplace after a chilly night in Death Valley. Diane was great with communication, and we would love to stay here again in the future!

This is just the cutest place run by the nicest people. They were so accommodating and made our visit very special. This was our first bed and breakfast experience and Marcia and John set a high bar. We cannot wait to stay here again!

Marcia and John sent us a few touch base emails prior to our arrival to make sure every detail was tended to, and they were thorough. Marcia created three of the tastiest home made breakfasts we have ever had, all natural ingredients made with love and care, and John saw to our every request. My wife was thrilled with John's stories and English tea making skills! We have traveled all over the world and never felt more welcomed than at Thistlewood Down. Their BnB was comfortable, clean, well appointed and very inviting. They were attentive, never overshadowing, and incredibly generous with their time, suggestions for activities locally, and inquisitive as to how we were enjoying our visit. They've obviously invested much time, resources and attention into turning their family home into a warm and inviting retreat. We got a sneak peek into the new event space and guest room, "The Bird's Nest" John has just completed. And I've already invited 2 friends to return with us in the spring to enjoy the warmth of their hearth.

This was our second visit and we didn't think it could be better than the first, but it was! Breakfast was even more 5-star than before and Marcia and John went out of their way to accommodate our schedule, which revolved around some events and flights. The place is absolutely lovely and their improvements and special touches are evident. We will continue to return as it makes sense for our travel to the Clemson area. Am hoping to also consider for small retreats and meetings -- the perfect place to get away!

My wife and I stayed one night at Marcia and John's B&B to "get out of town." Marcia and John were extremely friendly and gracious hosts. In short, we highly recommend it and would stay here again. I was drawn to this B&B because John and Marcia are running this as a "real," luxurious B&B. They've considered all the details, from the nice linens and towels, to the laminated property map that you can use to take a walk around the property and the "mere." Their house is located on top of a hill, which affords an excellent view of the sunrise and the surrounding land. Their main house is beautiful, and fully renovated in all the guest-accessible areas. You walk into the main floor, which has the kitchen and breakfast areas and sleep in one of the two rooms on the second floor. The second floor has only the two rooms, across the hallway from each other, so each is very private. (Each door also has a keycode lock.) We stayed in the Tour Eiffel room and were able to see the other room because the other couple had already left. The Tour Eiffel is the larger of the two options, but both have that nice big bathtub. While they were showing us around, they also showed us their second building, which has an event space below and a small apartment above - they said that they might put that on Airbnb too. It would be a nice space! We loved our time there and plan to go back. Thank you, John and Marcia!

We were fortunate to have booked the Tour Eiffel room with John and Marcia on a beautiful Fall weekend. We were thrilled to see the comfortable space where we would be staying. The view from the room of the surrounding country- side was gorgeous. We woke to a wonderful breakfast with everything we could have wanted and needed for our busy day. The location of the house was perfect for us as we spent time in Traveler's Rest and down the Swamp Rabbit trail to Greenville. We found excellent restaurants and breweries nearby. The property was great for a morning walk around the pond and down to the nearby creek. I wish we had more time to lounge on the deck and take in the surroundings. John and Marcia were very personable and we really enjoyed meeting them and spending time in their corner of paradise.

Our stay in the Tour Eiffel suite was restorative and calming after a busy Thanksgiving. We loved the big king size bed, the comfy couch overlooking the valley below and the wonderful tub which was sorely needed after a hike in Table Rock State Park. John and Marcia were wonderful hosts, always ready with a cup of tea and a snack. Breakfast was delicious, even gluten free for me! It'a a beautiful place inside and out and we appreciated the insights and directions that only locals can give you. We look forward to a return visit!

Marsha and John provided us one of the best travel experiences anywhere. Dureing the pre-trip communication Marsha and John where timely and clear. Upon our arrival they greeted us and gave us an excellent orientation to thier property and home. Our room was a true 5 star setting and immaculately maintained. Marsha's breakfast was superb. trust me the pictures do not due this setting justice. The long range valley and mountain views are just amazing. Finally if your in this area check out the quant Town of Travelers Rest. Marsha and John also directed us to downtown Greenville-what a fabulous downtown, lots of shopping and energy. If you there on a Saturday check out the farmers market on the main strip, one of the best. Marsha and John thank you for a top rated experience.

I actually ended up having to cancel this reservation due to the rains brought on by a hurricane. However, the booking and cancellation process were so easy and John was great. I look forward to working with him in the future and to staying at this beautiful b&b.

Great quiet place to stay. Close to Clemson campus.

Very quiet private studio apartment in a peaceful country setting close to Clemson. Richard the host is very nice and easy to communicate with. We slept well here and enjoyed our stay.
