Swamp Rabbit Inn Travelers Rest

Location: Proximity to downtown Travelers Rest, Swamp Rabbit Trail, and local restaurants .

Not s pleasant experience. The room desceription mentioned a shared bathroom. It was on the other side of the house, three rooms and a hallway over and adjacent to the common kitchen. Breakfast options were limited to thawed muffins, bagels with no toppings and cold cereal. No staff member or owner was present at any time.

This was our 2nd experience at a Swamp Rabbit Inn property. The first time, we stayed at the Greenville location. I followed their page for years afterwards, which is how I learned about the Travelers Rest location. Otherwise, I would have never known that TR even existed! We opted for The Cottage, instead of the main inn. We wanted to have the whole place to ourselves for a true getaway. The Cottage definitely has that charming, cozy, atmosphere about it. There was plenty of room for six people, even though we ended up with four. The 2 bedrooms are huge, and you get 2 full bathrooms, which is a rare find. The beds were comfortable. The towels were big and fluffy. The only complaint my husband had was the TV’s are super small, and we couldn’t figure out how to work the TV in the master bedroom. To be fair, you don’t book a retreat at the base of the mountains to sit and watch TV all day:-) The Swamp Rabbit Inn is a viable option for accommodations in TR. As for bike rental, I recommend Freehub on Main St. in TR. We rented cruiser bikes from Freehub to ride the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the exterior and grounds of the property is in need of TLC. Also, they desperately need a bike shed at the TR location. If I was running this property, I would turn the studio into a bike shed instead of a 3rd guest room. It would add an extra incentive to keep this place “hopping!”
