Vacation home rentals in Upstate South Carolina

Wonderful. Felt like we were in a tree house.

Pilot Cove offered my family of 4 (plus dog) a wonderful experience at the doorstep to Pisgah and Brevard. Loved being close to the Hub and the food and coffee truck at the bottom of the hill were great. I enjoyed drinking an Americano from the coffee truck on my way into the Forest or after a long trail run on the Art Loeb trail. The walking trails on the property were the perfect place to walk the dog (though several downed trees cross the path). The house was simple but fit ours needs as we spent most of our time outdoors. Overall we loved Pilot Cove and will be back!

Cute little cabin in a peaceful spot just outside of Pisgah National Forrest. Close to delicious food trucks and even downtown Brevard. We were able to rest and enjoy equally with this stay.

The Pilot Cove cabin was a wonderful spot; we visited the Pisgah National Forest, Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, and the Blue Ridge Parkway to Asheville! I highly recommend this lovely location!

Wow, a great place where you can become one with nature. You find yourself immersed in taking in the views morning, noon, and night. Pilot Cove is a peaceful community and had feel of a place tucked well into the mountains but just on the edge of town. A true favorite!

My husband and I recently stayed at Pilot Cove, seeking some much-needed relaxation and a chance to connect with nature. This retreat was everything we hoped for and more. The room was incredibly comfortable, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere that made our stay truly rejuvenating. One of the highlights of our stay was the fully equipped kitchen. It was fantastic to have the option to cook our own meals, which not only added a homey feel to our stay but also helped us save money on dining out. The kitchen had everything we needed, which was a wonderful surprise. While our experience was overwhelmingly positive, there were a couple of areas for improvement. The bathroom could have been cleaner, and the floors needed a good vacuuming. However, these were minor issues in the grand scheme of things. Overall, Pilot Cove provided us with a perfect getaway. We left feeling relaxed and reconnected with nature. We will definitely be returning and recommend it to others.

The host was extremely responsive and understanding. They were helpful and willing to fix any issues that arose during our stay. I would definitely go back.

This was my second time to stay at Pilot Cove this year and I will be back. The cabins are conveniently located and have everything you need. The minimal design is appealing as well. Great place to stay!

Such a nice and quiet location. The interior of house is beautifully remodeled. Clean and pictures and description of the house were right on point. had a great stay and will definitely be rebooking.

I honestly don’t know where to begin. She made her home available to me and my family for 3 weeks! 😮‍💨 that’s enough within itself! Very professional and proactive person. Messages back within minutes. The home was GORGEOUS! I have absolutely NOTHING to say bad about this host!

Angie is a fantastic host and I would highly recommend staying at her place when you're travelling.

Our family visited mid-December to experience the Polar Express! The views from the cabin were absolutely stunning, the hot tub was very much appreciated by this tired mama, and the home was very spacious for our large group. I loved the guest cabin as well for added privacy for my in-laws! The proximity to downtown Bryson City was just a short 7 minute drive which was great with littles and nap schedules. I would highly recommend this beautiful home!

Pat was extremely communicative and the home fit our family of 10 perfectly. There are 2 large bedrooms on the main level, one, a King with small private bath and the other, a queen bed with large private bathroom. There were 2 additional full baths on the main level as well. The kitchen was extra large, very well stocked and accommodated our large family! There is an oversized family room with lots of seating and a bar area too! The family room off the kitchen faces the back deck and the lake and I enjoyed lots of time there reading books to my Grand baby. The back deck was oversized and the home literally sits on Lake Hartwell ! The back dock was a nice bonus as was the hot tub! The downstairs does have some steep stairs so I wouldn't advise elderly people sleeping down there. However, you will find a full bathroom, 2 bedrooms and a third bedroom/bonus/flex space with 2 full beds. We loved our family time there celebrating our daughter's wedding! We can't wait to go back!

We had a great stay with a team of college students showing at tryon. They had so much fun playing in the creek, making fires, playing games out in the pavilion and were comfortable in the home even with a large group. We loved it

We rent a house in this area every year- we are never disappointed! This is a beautiful house in a nice quiet area. Upstairs kitchen (the one we used) was amazing with every dish, pan or pot you might need. The lake toys provided were fantastic! The dock was lovely. This is a great area of the lake. It's nice and quiet, so don't rent if you're going to throw a big party, but for those of us looking for a nice quiet and relaxing time on the lake- perfect!

This place was great. I am a traveling student who needed a long term stay and this air bnb offered everything I needed. It was a peaceful place to study and relax.

Daisuke was an excellent host and communicated perfectly for what our needs were. The pictures looked a lot different compared to our in person view (the winter) so just be ware of that if wanting scenic pictures. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Enjoyable visit to Lake Junaluska and Waynesville. Always wonderful places to visit! The home we rented with very nice and very comfortable. Lots of good seating inside and outside. Only request was for an outdoor fan on the porch to help make the evenings even more enjoyable. Overall a great place to spend a few days to unwind.

Beautiful surroundings. Quiet place

Peters place was very cool… If you appreciate Frank Loyd Wright architecture, you will be very impressed with this place. It provided a very authentic feel from that era. Back deck and porches were amazing, view is terrific…

The property manager Brooke was so responsive and on top of everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The accommodations at the Lake Toxaway home our group rented were absolutely outstanding! Brooke Halford and the owners have carefully curated memory making moments; from the hand hewn pottery coffee mugs & tableware, the unique artwork adorning the walls, the exceptional selection of furnishings that make it so easy to cozy up and feel at home, to the hummingbird feeders cleverly placed above the swinging chair on the deck providing guests with early morning magical encounters, attention has clearly been paid to every detail. The location couldn’t have been any better with amazing hiking trails just a few miles drive away. Our faves were Whitewater Falls, Rainbow & Turtleback Falls, Triple Falls & Foothill Trails.

This place is as good as it looks—comfy, clean, and quiet. If you’re looking for a mountain getaway with easy access to trails, this place is it. The hosts are very responsive, and provide an extremely helpful and detailed house guide. The whole place was also *extremely* clean, including the linens and bathrooms. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice family stay for our daughter’s graduation from Clemson. Thanks for making it memorable.

The listing and pictures do not do this place justice! This has been one of my most favorite Air BNBs yet! This place is so beautiful and the energy in the house and land is so healing! My entire family enjoyed the stay and we definitely look forward to booking again for our next trip to GA! 🤗
