Best Things Nearby:
The northwestern corner of South Carolina is known for its beautiful scenery. There are numerous waterfalls that are easily accessible. This area is close to the Georgia and North Carolina borders.
We visited Toccoa Falls on the grounds of a liberal arts college. The charge a small fee, but the waterfall is stunning with a rainbow formed at the bottom of the rushing water. The gift shop one walks through to get to the falls contains a number of lovely items. The best day to go is Sunday, because the adjoining restaurant serves a fabulous brunch. We also visited Helen, Georgia, which is a recreated Bavarian village. Although it is very commercial, it is a fun stop with shops and restaurants. Whitewater Falls in North Carolina was spectacular. We are amateur photographers and found a plethora of areas to photograph. Cashiers and Highlands, N. C. are mountain towns, again with wonderful scenery, shops, etc. The Chatooga River, location for the movie Deliverance has many rapids with kayakers and floaters shooting through. The campus of Clemson is worth visiting. In the spring, the Botanic Gardens are filled with colorful flowers and plants. We were there in the fall, so we missed all that. Greenville has a decent zoo and is a small city. Atlanta, GA is two hours away in light traffic. I would not advise attempting the drive during rush hour.
Best Things About the Resort:
We liked the fact that there was no pressure to buy there. We were really on our own. The location is in a very quiet, country setting. We had a two-bedroom unit that was quite spacious with a full kitchen, living room, dining area, and bath downstairs. Upstairs were two bedrooms and another bathroom. It was nicely appointed and very comfortable. For nicer weather, there were two balconies, one on each level. There is a laundry area on the premises with several washers and dryers and a nice outside area in which to wait, weather permitting.
Resort Experience:
For the person seeking quiet in a rural setting, this is the place. There were no resort-sponsored activities and nor were the few amenities easily accessible. The main office was small and open only during select hours. However, any staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful.
