Private Trail into Table Rock

Table Rock isn't somewhere you have to drive to when you stay here, you're already there. No other Airbnb offers a private trail that starts right on the property and takes you straight into the park. Hike to waterfalls, mountain streams, Lake Pinnacle and miles of trails. At the end of the day, relax in the hot tub or light a fire in the secret garden with complimentary firewood. Included is a complimentary South Carolina State Park Pass, giving you free admission to every park in the area.
