Our family enjoyed our time at the Chelsey Cottage where we escaped the heat of Greenville, SC. From the wonderful decorated interior to the wonderful fire pit and expansive deck this cottage is a must for a family getaway!
They owners have gone out of their way to make you feel as if you walked into a cozy English cottage! We enjoyed their many hiking recommendations, the complimentary bottle of Chardonnay, and the fire pit and s’mores every evening. It was truly a relaxing visit. I hope we can return soon!
From the owner: "Pam, thank you very much for your thoughtful comments. We're always so glad to hear that our guests enjoyed their stay and were able to relax and unwind. It's nice to know that you were able to escape the SC heat and go hiking in the crisp, cool, air of the mountains. Enjoying S'mores by the fire pit is one of our family's favorite things to do as well! So glad you and your family had a memory-making visit at Chelsey Cottage, please come stay with us again soon."
This is a lovely cottage and perfect for our family. It's a great location and not far from town. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will definitely stay again!

This is a lovely cottage and perfect for our family. The home is clean and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the deck for drinking our morning coffee and then for relaxing in the sun after our afternoon hikes. The property has a pretty pond and soothing waterfall. It is a great location and close to town. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will definitely stay again. Highly recommend!
From the owner: "Helen, thank you for your kind comments! We're so happy to hear that you and your family chose to stay at Chelsey Cottage for a second time! We appreciate the specific feedback on the interior design, as well as the outdoor space. Sitting on the deck, listening to the sounds of nature by the pond and the waterfall, is one of our favorite places to relax as well. We hope to welcome you back for another stay with us very soon!"
From the moment we entered the home we were happy to be there. We had a long drive from Michigan but it was erased from memory immediately. The home is beautifully furnished in a mountain cabin style. Everything we needed for the entire stay was there, including a nice bottle of wine. The grounds are beautiful too, and Dawn spent hours sunning on the private deck. Highlands is a real gem of a town and we enjoyed all it offers. This was the best experience I’ve had using VRBO. We will be back, and won’t even mind the drive.
