About this property

River Haven - Rest and relaxation guaranteed!

  • Come find rest and relaxation at River Haven. Our beautiful new cottage is located directly on the banks of the Chauga River and is secluded within 10 acres.

    The cottage is light and airy with large windows and high ceilings throughout for viewing the river and surrounding area. The cozy, well appointed living space provides a complete kitchen, master bedroom, living area with sleeping sofa, and bath. In addition to the beautiful indoor space, two porches and a hammock area are available to enjoy the rushing river sounds. A riverside firepit and sitting area will also provide an excellent opportunity for relaxation.

    Visitors of River Haven, will enjoy fishing, tubing, kayaking, and swimming in front of the cabin or simply curling up with a book listening to the river. Also you may experience the thrill of Chattooga White Water rafting just 15 minutes from the cottage.

    If you enjoy hiking, nearby waterfalls provide for wonderful hiking opportunities. Boating and skiing activities can also be enjoyed on nearby Keowee, Jocassee, and Hartwell lakes. Other areas of interest nearby are Chattooga Belle Farm Distillery & Vineyards, Clemson University Tiger football, Brooks Center for the Performing Arts, Duke Power World of Energy, antiquing, White Water Falls, Chattooga white water rafting, visit to Clayton, Ga and shopping just to name a few.

    NOTE: Cottage is on a long gravel road that is steep. 4 -wheel drive is not necessary, but helpful. I personally do not drive a 4 wheel drive car and no issues. Long drive but ends in paradise.

Cozy cabin getaway

This cabin was awesome! The location is super quiet and peaceful with the river out front. The driveway is long and allows you to feel secluded and tucked away in your own little oasis. The cabin itself is very clean and super cozy for a nice weekend getaway.

This location was absolutely beautiful and the cabin was immaculate. We had a wonderful time visiting with our friends who live nearby and having them stop in for grilling and playing by and in the river. Such a nice and peaceful place. Will definitely recommend or stay again.

Great Cabin Getaway!

If you're looking for a great place to get away with great views, go ahead and book this one! This cabin is clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. We stayed two nights and had everything we needed. We took a dip in the creek that runs right outside the cabin. My wife says we'll be staying here again.
