The main house features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, providing a spacious gathering place for family and friends to cook, relax, and reconnect. The light-filled sunroom offers panoramic views, creating the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or relax and enjoy the sunset.
Owens Retreat was thoughtfully designed to bring people together while giving everyone room to relax, recharge, and enjoy their own private space.
For guests working remotely, the main house also includes a dedicated workspace with dual monitors, high-speed Wi-Fi-just bring your laptop and plug in! Just steps away, the charming Blue Cottage offers a private studio layout with a full bathroom, cozy sitting area, large Smart TV, dedicated workspace with dual monitors, and a well-appointed kitchenette. It's the perfect retreat for grandparents, another couple, adult children, or anyone who appreciates a little extra privacy.
Together, the property offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it an ideal choice for family vacations, multi-generational gatherings, wedding groups, business travelers, church retreats, Clemson weekends, golf trips, and extended stays. Everyone can enjoy spending time together while still having plenty of room to spread out and unwind.
Step outside to enjoy two acres of open lawn, mature shade trees, and peaceful country surroundings. Sip your morning coffee while taking in distant Blue Ridge Mountain views, watch deer and wild turkeys wander through the property at dusk, or gather together beneath the stars in the evening. It's a setting that feels wonderfully secluded while keeping you close to everything the Upstate has to offer.

Hey, we're Lisa and Mike! We've been hosting guests since 2020 and honestly, we love it. There's something about knowing someone is out there having a great stay that never gets old for us.
We put a lot of thought and heart into the Blue Cottage — every detail was chosen with you in mind, from the king bed you won't want to leave, to the kitchenette stocked so you're not scrambling for the basics, to the rocking chairs on the porch just waiting for a good conversation or a quiet morning with your coffee.
We're the kind of hosts who want you to feel taken care of without hovering. Have a question? We're quick to respond. Need a restaurant recommendation? We've got opinions. Otherwise, your stay is yours — kick back, unplug, and enjoy.
We're so glad you found us, and we can't wait to host you. Lisa & Mike
