About this property

EXCEPTIONAL, SUPER CLEAN! IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE BLUE RIDGE MTN.! NO ANIMALS!

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. is under a mile from downtown Pickens; near the NC and Georgia borders. Pickens is close to Greenville, Anderson, Clemson University and train station, Bob Jones University, Golfing at the Rock at Table rock, Lake Keowee, Jocassee State Park, , Jones Gap, close to Greenville International Airport. The neighborhood is extremely quiet, and the many trees on the property provides lots of privacy! Duvet are all season down simulated, are encased in an allergy duvet cover, then placed in a decorative duvet cover. All pillows on beds are also encased in allergy cases. The mattress is encased in an allergy barrier with another fitted cotton barrier on top. The number of made beds will correspond with the number of people at the time of booking. All decorative pillows are down simulated as well. There's an LG TV for streaming, watching DVDs on LG DVD player, or air antenna TV. The backyard is spacious, and provides lots of privacy, while enjoying the fire pit in the yard. Spend a quiet evening relaxing on the deck sipping wine, whilst listening to the sounds of the night, on or on the front porch in the morning listening to the birds whist enjoying your coffee . There's plenty of FREE parking in the driveway, and FREE WiFi to all guests for your entire stay! Complimentary snacks and water, upon arrival; in addition there is limited breakfast fare in the freezer/fridge, K-cups, ground coffee, teas and hot beverages; once exhausted, you will need to supply your own. Let us know if you're celebrating a special occasion!! :-) TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. DOES NOT permit smoking, NOR PETS/ANIMALS anywhere on the property; No exceptions as owners are highly/deathly allergic, and has severe asthma! You WILL be billed the cost for processing if this rule is violated; it costs thousands of dollars to make it safe again for owners. WE DO NOT SPEED WASH LINENS, they go through a full cycle! From the mattress pad, everything on the bed, both the shower curtain/liner, door mats, blankets, pillows, pen/pencils, fan chains and blades, lamp/switches, info binders and all pages, floors, door jambs and surrounding walls, inside of windows and their locks, and much more, is either washed or sanitized! All living room furniture is wiped down as well as the table and chairs in the kitchen. The return air vent has a HEPA filter, and an organic Thymol fogger is used for the duct system; there are filters in every register which are cleaned between each guest. Everything in the spice pantry is disinfected for the next guest, and anything in the fridge as well as the fridge itself. The ice bin and tongs are washed between each guest and filled with fresh ice along with fresh ice in each ice tray. The outside of snacks packages which are in their baskets are wiped along with the basket as we assumed THEY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. If the table has a tablecloth and has been set, everything is clean, and the table was set the day before your arrival; feel free to make full use of them; please do not worry about soiling the tablecloth ( if there's one) as it gets washed between guests. We don't just pay attention to the big cleaning stuff, we remember the tiny details as well. We have sets of linen for beds so they may vary from what is shown in pictures. Please note that although there is contact-less check in; owners may stop by to say hello depending on the length of your visit; we are only a few doors away....really. This is the country, watch out for wild life, watch where you step, and please remember, as with the operating of any exterior door open, bugs will get in - it's nature :-) IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND DOCUMENTS TO US , WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST BUT YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO US IN ORDER FOR US TO HELP YOU! There is an ADMINISTRATIVE FEE of $75 for ANY cancellations! ONCE YOU'VE CHECKED IN, THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE WILL BE REFUNDED! For US citizens/ residents only: 10 % discount off the nightly rate for Seniors 65+, veterans active, and retired, and SC residents. Please note one discount per booking. Read the posted rental agreement and ask questions before booking. Extra chairs can be found in the bedrooms :-) We strongly suggest you purchase travel insurance. Thank you, and have an awesome day!
P.S. Please note that lamps in bedrooms may vary as we like to redecorate. :-)

Thanksgiving in Pickens
What a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage just doors from my parents’ house in Pickens! Sandra and Bill have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and even added in some nice extras, like scones for breakfast and a present for our family under the tree! It was the perfect setting to allow us to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family in my sweet

Super clean, great amenities, friendly hosts
The property was as super clean as we expected from the description. The hosts provided the expected amenities plus many other nice touches like snacks, chocolates, coffee, and spices. The exterior photo online doesn't do the property justice as it is wooded with a very sweet front porch perfect was enjoying bird songs and quiet mornings and evenings. The hosts were available but not intrusive. We loved our stay.

Clean house near many state parks
Sandra went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. From explaining the home’s cleaning process in detail to providing thoughtful snacks and a card at check in, her hospitality is impeccable. The home was clean and well-appointed, and located near many state parks that we wanted to visit during our stay. We had a great trip and I told Sandra she should open some other rental properties across SC! She does a wonderful job. Highly recommend for a clean and quiet stay. Thanks again.

About the host

Host profile image
We wanted to start a vacation rental, not just any vacation rental, but one where someone like Sandra can stay. Sandra is a highly allergic person (death could be involved) and a severe asthmatic, finding homes when traveling is a serious chore and as we discovered not many owners are able to rent to us! TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt is totally geared for her to be in and sleep in; we vacation on our own property! lol! Why bother, because people like Sandra also like to travel but find it super difficult. Sandra is a photographer, and has many pieces hanging throughout the cottage - which are for sale. THIS PROPERTY HAS A STRICT NO SMOKING/NO PETS/ANIMALS, POLICY; OWNERS SUPER ALLERGIC, AND SEVERE ASTHMATIC!!!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet, the mountains are beautiful, and the Southern hospitality rocks! The cottage is super clean; THIS PROPERTY HAS A STRICT NO SMOKING/NO PETS/ANIMALS POLICY; OWNERS SUPER ALLERGIC/ONE IS A SEVERE ASTHMATIC AND DEATHLY ALLERGIC!!

What makes this property unique

TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. is private, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, quiet, close to waterfalls, lakes, and much more! THIS PROPERTY HAS A STRICT NO SMOKING/NO PETS POLICY; OWNERS SUPER ALLERGIC!!
