EXCEPTIONAL, SUPER CLEAN! IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE BLUE RIDGE MTN.! NO ANIMALS!

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AND THE POSTED RENTAL AGREEMENT WHICH SHOULD POP UP AT BOOKING BEFORE PAYMENT, BEFORE BOOKING! This description is to help you decide if this property is a good fit for you.
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. is under a mile from downtown Pickens; near the NC and Georgia borders. Pickens is close to Greenville, Anderson, Clemson University, Bob Jones University, Golfing at The Rock at Table Rock, Lake Keowee, Jocassee State Park, Jones Gap, close to Greenville International Airport. The neighborhood is extremely quiet, and the many trees on the property provides lots of privacy! Duvets are all season down simulated, are encased in an allergy duvet cover, then placed in a decorative duvet cover. All pillows on beds are also encased in allergy cases. The mattress is encased in an allergy barrier with another fitted cotton barrier on top. The number of made beds will correspond with the number of people at the time of booking - for example: married couple, one bed unless a request for two is made. All decorative pillows are down simulated as well. There's an LG TV for streaming, watching DVDs on LG DVD player, or air antenna TV. The backyard is spacious, and provides lots of privacy, while enjoying the fire pit in the yard. Spend a quiet evening relaxing on the deck sipping wine, whilst listening to the sounds of the night, on or on the front porch in the morning listening to the birds while enjoying your coffee . There's plenty of FREE parking in the driveway, and FREE WiFi to all guests for your entire stay! Complimentary snacks and water, upon arrival; in addition there is limited breakfast fare in the freezer/fridge, K-cups, ground coffee, teas and hot beverages; once exhausted, you will need to supply your own. Let us know if you're celebrating a special occasion!! :-) TheCottage@BlueRidgeMt. DOES NOT permit smoking, ANIMALS anywhere on the property; No exceptions as owners are highly/deathly allergic, and has severe asthma! You WILL be billed the cost for processing if this rule is violated; it costs thousands of dollars to make it safe again for owners. WE DO NOT SPEED WASH LINENS, they go through a full cycle and a laundry disinfectant is used in every wash! From the mattress pad, everything on the bed, both the shower curtain/liner, door mats, blankets, pillows, pen/pencils, fan chains and blades, lamp/switches, info binders and all pages, floors, door jambs and surrounding walls, inside of windows and their locks, and much more, is either washed or sanitized! All living room furniture is wiped down as well as the table and chairs in the kitchen. The return air vent has a HEPA filter, and an organic Thymol fogger is used for the duct system; there are filters in every register which are cleaned between each guest. Everything in the spice pantry is disinfected for the next guest, and anything in the fridge as well as the fridge itself. The ice bin and tongs are washed between each guest and filled with fresh ice along with fresh ice in each ice tray - THE ICE IS MADE WITH TRIPLE FILTERED WATER! The outside of snacks packages which are in their baskets are wiped along with the basket as we assumed THEY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. If the table has a tablecloth and has been set, everything is clean, and the table was set the day before your arrival; feel free to make full use of them; please do not worry about soiling the tablecloth ( if there's one) as it gets washed between guests. We don't just pay attention to the big cleaning stuff, we remember the tiny details as well. We have sets of linen for beds so they may vary from what is shown in pictures. Please note that although the listing says contact-less check in; owners will stop by after your inspection of the property to say hello and make sure you are satisfied with the accommodation. We are only a few doors away....really. This is the country, watch out for wild life, watch where you step, and please remember, as with the operating of any exterior door open, bugs will get in - it's nature :-) IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND DOCUMENTS TO US , WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST BUT YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO US IN ORDER FOR US TO HELP YOU! There is an ADMINISTRATIVE FEE of $75 for ANY cancellations! ONCE YOU'VE CHECKED IN, THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE WILL BE REFUNDED! For US citizens/ residents only: 10% discount off the nightly rate for Seniors 65+, veterans active, and retired, and SC residents. Please note one discount per booking. Read the posted rental agreement and ask questions before booking. Extra chairs can be found in the bedrooms :-)
WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE. Thank you, and have an awesome day!

Comfortable and clean!
We were welcomed for a late night check in with the lights on and the tv on a cozy screensaver. Sandra and Bill made us feel so welcome with homemade goodies, several snacks and breakfast foods! The house was extremely clean and they have thought of all the little details. Really loved the Dove chocolates by the bed! Would HIGHLY recommend that you stay here. Went to Clemson game that was a 7:30 night game. There was NO traffic getting back to the house which saved us a ton of time! Easy to get to our son who lives in Greenville too.

Great option for visiting Clemson!
We stayed at this lovely house while visiting our son at Clemson. It was in a great location and was the cleanest VRBO we have ever seen. The owner was great with communication and provided water, snacks, coffee, and even some homemade goodies. We would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again!

The cottage was very clean and well maintained. It had pretty much everything that we needed. We enjoyed the location, as the four of us were there to see family. If we come out that way again, we definitely will stay at this cottage if it is available. Thank you for the very nice experience!

Super clean, great amenities, friendly hosts
The property was as super clean as we expected from the description. The hosts provided the expected amenities plus many other nice touches like snacks, chocolates, coffee, and spices. The exterior photo online doesn't do the property justice as it is wooded with a very sweet front porch perfect was enjoying bird songs and quiet mornings and evenings. The hosts were available but not intrusive. We loved our stay.

Clean house near many state parks
Sandra went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. From explaining the home’s cleaning process in detail to providing thoughtful snacks and a card at check in, her hospitality is impeccable. The home was clean and well-appointed, and located near many state parks that we wanted to visit during our stay. We had a great trip and I told Sandra she should open some other rental properties across SC! She does a wonderful job. Highly recommend for a clean and quiet stay. Thanks again.

Spotless, beautifully decorated cottage
You won't find a cleaner, more beautifully decorated home in this area for sure! We went for a quick getaway from the Lowcountry and, while the foliage wasn't ready to wow us, this gorgeous little home sure did! From the time that we took off our shoes at the doorway until we closed the door on this home, we were totally relaxed and pleased. Easy, but secure entry and exit, no carpet to offend allergies, and plenty of decorator touches showed the pride the owners have in this property! The personal touches that awaited us upon arrival made the stay special for us. Thanks to Sandra and Bill for your efforts in making our stay memorable!

Best accommodation ever!!
When we arrived at the cottage, the exterior of the property was breathtaking. Fully decorated for fall, the flower garden, front porch, and rear deck made us feel that we had found our second home. The owners, Sandra and Bill, dropped by to welcome us and even offered to assist with unloading the car. They made us promise to call, not text, if we needed anything at all. We could not wait to see inside the house, and used our secure code to enter. What we found inside was amazing. We have traveled far and wide during our lives, and this cottage was by far the cleanest we have ever seen. The house is so well laid out and furnished with both style and comfort in mind. So many little personal touches added to the “homey” feeling. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary, so Sandra and Bill had left us a card, some cider, and a bottle of wine to enhance our stay. There was hot chocolate, bottled water, a variety of snacks, and breakfast fare in the freezer. The spacious master bedroom provided us the room we needed, and the mattress was like floating on a cloud. I just can’t describe how clean this house was—-there are no words. We ended each day with time set aside for the rear deck. The comfortable seating and wooded privacy was so relaxing. We just can’t wait to return to the cottage and are already planning our next trip. Thanks, Sandra and Bill, for being such amazing hosts!

Nice Quiet Cottage
The property is extremely clean and comfortable, located near downtown Pickens and a short drive to Easley. This gave us access to restaurants, Table Rock, and to our home being built at the Reserve on Lake Keowee. The kitchen has what is needed to cook and serve meals. It is a great long term stay location as well as for a long weekend to visit the beautiful area, Sandra and Bill were always available if needed - great hosts.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It was definitely the cleanest place we have stayed. The hosts were so welcoming and had a hot chocolate basket, apple cider and breakfast items in the freezer for us. They even put up a Christmas tree and gave my boys each a small gift! So kind of them! We had the best time hiking at Paris mountain and exploring downtown Greenville and biking the swamp rabbit trail. We will definitely be back!

A Home Away From Home
The first obvious attribute to the cottage is its top-notch cleanliness. Everything we touched or used was spotless. This is a huge draw in getting us to return. We cooked our breakfast meals and one of our dinner meals in the home. It was nice that the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. There were little touches throughout the home that made it so extra special. We feel like the owners really try to think of creative ideas that would make our stay extra special. The home is located within an easy drive to the hiking trails we had on our agenda. Plus, there are several restaurants nearby making trips out for food super convenient. The only negative to the amazing experience was the steep cleaning fee - especially for the amount of work you're asked to do upon checkout. We definitely will return as we loved the home, the owners were super attentive, and the experience as a whole made for a perfect getaway.
