Hubs and I needed a little time away without all the electronic distractions. This was a great little spot to do just that and reconnect with each ither and nature. Will visit again!

Nice view and beautiful river
4.0 / 5.0
Nice cabin. Nice view. Foam mattress comfy. Spring mattress not fit to sleep on. Too much light pollution from the city and too much noise from the highway.
4.0 / 5.0
Other than the cold (in the low 30's) the arrangements were amazing for the price.
We camp all the time, so we just brought our supplies and found the site comfortable.
I would not recommend this to anyone, in cold weather, unless you have sufficient equipment.
Close to town and the area is a vacation hotspot. Need a week away......go here....way cool!

Cute little pods that overlook the Saluda. Exactly as described. Bathrooms were a short walk away, and the area was well lit at night. Katie was quick to respond to any questions. Had a really good time hiking in the area and relaxing by the river. Perfect little getaway. I would say the only con is that this particular pod was basically right next to the road/bridge, so the traffic got a little noisy at times, but it wasn't anything I couldn't tune out. Just wasn't expecting it. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks!
