About This Home

Nestled on the tranquil shores of Chattooga Lake, a private, gated, sparkling, spring-fed lake, this enchanting log cabin exudes rustic elegance and serene charm. 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, providing an inviting rustic allure.

Expansive decks provide 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.

The home's walk-out basement is a wonderful 1050-square-foot space with three French doors leading to another breathtaking deck. Heating and cooling are in place for easy finishing. Outside, the expansive deck extends around the home and toward the water, offering ample lounging, dining, or entertainment space.

A gentle path leads to a private dock and an inviting firepit. You can launch a kayak from the dock or sit and enjoy the peaceful lapping of the water. Roast marshmallows with friends and family and star gaze from the beautiful fire pit late into the night.

This Lake Chattooga retreat is a perfect mountain/lake getaway or a dream primary home. Lake Chattooga is 15 minutes from the grocery store and downtown Walhalla and 30 minutes from Seneca for shopping and dining.
