Welcome to 555 Chattooga Lake Rd in Mountain Rest, SC. The cabin's interior, crafted from rich, honey-toned timber, seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, offering an inviting rustic allure. Expansive decks offer breathtaking views of the lake.
Step inside to discover a spacious great room with a soaring vaulted ceiling, exposed timber framing, and a working antique wood stove from Antique Stove Hospital in Rhode Island. It will truly warm your home during those cozy winter nights. The warm wood finishes and handcrafted details add a touch of artisanal beauty. Beautiful, well-maintained wood floors flow throughout the house. Rustic and artistic lighting from Avalanche Ranch Lighting adds a sophisticated glow to the home.
The well-appointed kitchen features modern amenities, ideal for preparing meals while gazing out over the lake. Adjacent to the kitchen, a charming dining area opens onto the great room, where you can enjoy alfresco meals or read the paper. The cabin offers multiple bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with comfort and tranquility in mind, providing restful retreats with privacy.
