This unique Chauga River property could best be described as "Charming River Cabin meets Chic Cottage Hideaway"! There are so many adjectives to describe this adorable and creatively designed retreat, high on a bluff overlooking the winding Chauga River, close to where it meets Lake Hartwell. In addition to being a weekend retreat for the owners, this property has been a successful Airbnb for 8 years. With 3 bedroom spaces, one bath, and a spacious, airy gathering room, there is ample living space packed into a relatively small footprint. The unfinished basement adds additional potential living space, or as it is currently, a clean open space perfect for ping pong table or game room. Two expansive covered decks perched above the water add outdoor living to the main and lower levels. For getting closer to nature, a stairway behind the cottage meanders through the woods and down to the small river overlook, ideal for unwinding at the end of the day - perhaps with a fishing rod in hand. Midway between the house and the overlook, a large wooden deck with built-in seating is a perfect spot for gathering among the trees. Inside is where the cottage chic is brought to life! The owner has lovingly refreshed the main level with painted floors and quaint (sometimes whimsical!) decor! Simple charm is created in cabin life when armoires substitute for closets and antique furniture becomes kitchen cabinetry. On the main level, the open living space has 3 sets of glass doors to the covered deck. Instead of a traditional fireplace, the striking green wood stove is indeed a focal point and adds whimsy, and warmth - keep the tea kettle warm while gathering around the fire! The compact kitchen has all you need for a cottage retreat, yet packs a punch of vintage charm with reclaimed cast iron sink, pot rack, and an old table for central work space. The charm continues upstairs with the tranquil loft/bedroom, a quiet place to relax. The other bedroom upstairs has amazing views of the treetops and winding river below. This enchanting retreat is located midway between Westminster, SC and Toccoa, GA, and is about 45 minutes from the multitude of activities of Clemson University. Numerous waterfalls and hiking trails are short drives away. With a few personal exceptions, most of the furnishings and accessories (including the slipcovered camel back sofa and its red legs!) can be negotiated as a package.
