The Chattooga River and many hiking trails are nearby.
Yellow Branch Trail is one of our favorite regular hikes. It’s close by and takes about 2 hours in and out to the waterfall by we usually spend about 3 hours due to playing in the falls.
Across the road from Yellow Branch is Stump House Tunnel. Bring flashlight. Once in the park the tunnel is to the left and the waterfall is to the right. The tunnel is completely dark and is damp inside, but fun. Short hikes but nice waterfall and interesting tunnel to nowhere.
Also from our neighborhood, turn left onto Hwy 28, go to the bridge at the Chattoga River and hike upstream. I don’t know the name of this one but it’s nice and follows the river. Good fishing here also.
It’s a little drive but look up Turtle Back Falls. It’s a very nice hike along a river and passes several falls. It can be quite busy. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/north-carolina/rainbow-falls-and-turtleback-falls-trail
All about waterfalls
https://www.highlandschamber.org/surrender/waterfalls/
Just on the other side of Highlands NC, about a 40 minute drive is Hwy 64 and it has 3 waterfalls along it. Easy to get to all 3: Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, Bust your Butt Falls. Just a fun drive with easy little walks. If you just want an easy day you could drive through Highlands, see the waterfalls then drive to Clayton Ga and back to Mountain Rest Lake. Clayton traffic for about 2 miles through town can be a bear on the weekends in the fall. It’s a nice loop and there are restaurants in Clayton and Highlands.

Walhalla restaurants
We usually eat at Puerto Nuevo Mexican & Seafood Restaurant in Walhalla. Something on the menu for everyone. It’s nothing fancy but the food is good.
Dakota Grill, just down the hill towards Walhalla. Food is usually quite good. Closed for the winter season.
If you don’t mind driving a little farther (20 minutes) we like Paesano's Italian Restaurant in Seneca.

Wonderful host with great communication. Comfortable well stocked lake cabin. Kayaks were awesome. View can’t be beat!

The cabin was clean, except for you should have an exterminator come in. You have a roach problem. In the kitchen and in the bathroom.The only other suggestion I could have for you is for you to get a satellite and maybe be charged just a little bit more so that at least somebody could watch TV and sports and movies.And if you had one of the dusters for outside to get rid of the cobwebs, cobwebs are everywhere.

We had a lovely weekend! The kayaks were a big hit with the kids and we enjoyed trying to catch fish from the dock. The trail to the pigpen falls was excellent as well.

This is our second time staying here and hopefully will not be our last. This property is seriously something special. There's something about it that just instantly feels like home and always has us leaving feeling recharged. The cabin is wonderfully equipped with everything you may need to enjoy your stay. It's always clean and kept up. There's so much to do from enjoying the views in the home or on the deck, paddles on the lake, or exploring the area. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to visit again and can't wait to return. Thank you!

A beautiful quiet cabin on an extremely peaceful lake. Spent four wonderful days there in perfect relaxation. Everything you need! A lovely set of canoes and paddle boards will really help you to enjoy the water.

We had a great stay here! The place was clean and well kept, and the owner was very helpful. The lake was small (which we knew ahead of time), but it was great for paddling and swimming in. And we loved how peaceful the lake was (no motor boats)! We had our own paddleboards so we didn't use the owner crafts, but they had multiple kayaks/paddleboards available for use. Overall a great stay and we will be back!
