About this cabin rental

Summary:
Would you love to camp along the banks of the Saluda River without the hassle of setting up a tent? Our River Pod is the perfect mix between camping and comfort for two! You will need to bring your sleeping bag/bedding, pillow, towels, toiletries, and camping supplies. There is minimal electricity. There is a space heater that keeps the pod warm and cozy. Please do not bring additional heaters of any kind. Bring flashlights and lanterns for your walk to the bath house at night. Be sure to bring power bank phone chargers and flashlights. We provide the shelter, beds, bathhouse, and spectacular view. And if you do want to add a tent for up to four more, just let us know.

The $10 per person/per night is to accommodate ONE tent next to the River Pod, for up to four more guests (MAX). Larger tents will not be allowed, only max 4 person tent. If you need to accommodate more people, you will need to rent another River Pod with tent space. If this is the case, please contact us so we can help you with this reservation (and will save booking fees). Max capacity per pod is two, with tent occupants (4), and a total of six. Camp managers will be verifying the occupancy and violators will be asked to leave immediately.

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 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.

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!
