I stayed in the Corn Crib Cottage and was delighted to see llamas, sheep, goats and a pig roaming in the pasture next door. The cottage is very well-appointed and had a great rustic atmosphere. The owners Julie and Jeff are welcoming hosts, offering homemade cookies upon my arrival. Breakfast was fantastic. It was an easy and scenic drive to Clemson University from here. This place is special - highly recommended!!

There was a fire pit available but we did not start a fire. When the morning came, we were even more pleasantly surprised when they offered to cook us bacon-and-eggs, fruit, cereals AND homemade blueberry muffins that were amazing. They also went above and beyond by cooking eggs and bacon for our dog. The staff was very friendly and showed us around the property and made sure we were happy with our stay. We highly recommend giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.

(We'd never been to this area of NC so didn't quite know what to expect.) This place is directly off the main drag, and is run by a husband and wife with a small team to assist. Julie (the owner) was as sweet as pie, and each morning greeted us in the dining area, offering to prepare our bacon and eggs in any style. This was probably the best aspect of our stay. She was happy to talk with us endlessly, and quick to make an outline of all thing things we could do during our stay. The continental breakfast area was always available for guest use, we really loved that; we played hours of Uno there of an evening. The rooms, while small, are efficient and most importantly of all--*so* clean. We stayed in one of the "round house" buildings (I think there are only 2?) on the second level. Our deck was shared by the neighboring room, with whom we enjoyed chatting one evening on said deck. Our room was equipped with a mini-fridge. Soaps, towels, toilet paper, and everything you would expect in a standard hotel were provided. The walls are thin enough to hear our neighbors, however everyone seemed to be respectful, so it didn't bother us too much (there was a cute barky dog next to us, but her cuteness exceeded her barkiness). A note about the rooms being small - there are common spaces all around the property aplenty. So the room size didn't matter too much to us because our time spent there was basically for sleeping / showering. The main building, as already mentioned, has a great room / parlor area with fireplace for hanging out. There are chairs on the front porch, and even an outdoor firepit with a view of the neighboring mountain ridge (which we did not use). The size of the room was outdone by all of these added amenities, and there felt like a sense of community there. Do not let room size deter you from a stay. The property is close enough to the main road that you can hear traffic, but the noise was tolerable, and it was not constant. This did not bother us, and would not deter us from another stay here, ever. I fail to understand any review which is four stars or less, people will complain about everything. The accommodations were priced just right ... we stayed in high-season (July) and were quite pleased by what we paid. The Brook Trout Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. Go hike Gorges State Park! Then go to Whitewater Falls, during your stay!

The four stars is for having to drive over a mile to get to use the facilities.

We stayed here in December 2023 from a road trip from our home state of Florida. The outdoors was so pretty and we had a great view of the forest. At first thought I thought our backyard was an icy lake, but it was so cold that it was a golf course frozen over. We definitely want to stay here again another season, possibly the fall when there are colored leaves on the trees. This resort is great for large families of 4+. We are 4 adults and stayed here very comfortably because the rooms are huge and can connect! There is a REAL fireplace in each room and the kitchen is large with all the things you need to cook, wash, etc. The rooms were also very clean. The community room is huge and real nice as well. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about the resort except that if you want to visit the lobby, you will have to drive a little. But, we didn't need to at all. You can always call if you need something and they will deliver asap. I strongly recommend this place! If you have any questions, I can try to answer them for you.

We never thought we'd get in anywhere, let alone one place where we didn't have to change sites. Miraculously, they were able to make it work. No small feat - weekends here are full. If you love the water, this is an amazing place - on site boat launch and parking; marina store. If you love football (especially Clemson), you'll love it! Weekends are a big tailgate. Sites are a huge and pull through. Most are full hookup. We were here through the remnants of two tropical storms with easily 5-6" of rain. No mud. None. Not kidding. Drainage here is fantastic. I loved that since we have a dog and I wasn't mopping mud every hour. Speaking of dogs - very dog friendly and most folks actually pick up after their dogs. Pro tips: make sure you have a water pressure regulator. Pressure is high here. Also, make sure you have reflective, insulated panels on your windows. There are no trees and no shade. None. It's hot here. Remember - you're here for the lake front. If you have a dog, bring poop bags - while it's dog friendly, it is definitely not the park's responsibility to provide bags and this park chooses not to. Bring your own, come on. It's also a very short drive to the mountains and trails - mountain biking, hiking, trail running, etc... Last note: best, cleanest laundry room I've ever seen at any campground. We'll be back - great campground and well run!
