THE SPACE
Welcome to The Rustic Rectangle, a cozy retreat stocked with everyday essentials for a comfortable stay. Relax in the living space by the fireplace, enjoy a movie or games, or use the drop-leaf bar for meals or remote work. The couch also converts to an XL twin for extra sleeping space.
The kitchen includes cookware, dishes, coffee maker, toaster oven, and an induction cooktop for simple meals. While there’s no traditional oven, an outdoor grill is available.
The bedroom offers a full-size bed, closet storage, and space for luggage. The bathroom is fully stocked with towels and toiletries so you can pack light.
Outside you can unwind on the porch, gather around the fire area, soak in the hot tub, or request kayak rentals for nearby lake access just a short drive away.
Whether you're visiting Pendleton, Clemson, or Lake Hartwell, this is an easy place to relax and recharge.
