Swamp Rabbit Inn TR

Bike in bike out!! Adorable property for anyone biking the Swamp Rabbit Trail from Greenville to Travellers Rest. Fully stocked communal kitchen and living room areas with large, gracious bedrooms and baths. Love this place for charm and individuality. Unique.

We arrived @ night. Inn had no lights at entrance. Hard to find drive to room. Room heat would not turn on. Only contact with staff is texting. After many tries, heat would not turn on. Texting didn't help--so we left and stayed someplace else. "Self-service inn" concept is a problem when you have problems and no one on-site to help!

Common area kitchen was very nice!

I rented 2 cottages and one room in the main house for my family recently. The upkeep of the exterior property is poor. The buildings desperately need painting and there is no landscaping. All the outdoor furniture is rusted metal. The decking around the Coach house is rotting and railings are loose. There are no signs or instructions as to where to park although most of the area is gravel around the buildings. The interior of the main building has been updated but what they offer for breakfast is cereal and stale muffins and bagels. There were no bottled water or drinks available except Keurig coffee. It was made explicitly clear to me that those staying in the cottage rooms could not eat the breakfast they provided. The Studio AC and fan were not working thus making that room extremely hot. The Coach house closet clothes rod was broken so there was no where to hang up clothing. My family complained of the beds in the Coach house being very uncomfortable. I only got a text from the owners when I requested another code for entry to the main house as Expedia failed to send me the correct information. The owner blamed Expedia for the failing. For the price I paid for these rooms I expected much more and was embarrassed to have placed my family at this property.

First of all, I was born and raised in Travelers rest, seeing this beautiful old homeplace and was so excited to be able to stay there. This place is a gold mine in TR, But it absolutely needed someTLC. The main thing was it is promoted on your website as white with black shutters, but it looks nothing like that now, I didn’t think I was in the right place. It looks so different. It was in need of a paint job, a lot of landscaping needed, the porch light did not work, the sink drains in the bathroom did not open without prying open, The drive up to the coach house the limbs went over the driveway so much it scrapes your car, No supplies for the Kitchenette, no comfortable chair to sit in. These are just some things that I truly believe would improve a person stay, because the place is absolutely gorgeous. Through all of this I did enjoy my stay. I hope these situations will be taken care of.

The place was not maintenance on the outside. Pool was not useable. Chip paint on the framing going into the bathroom. There were spiders and webs all over the porch chairs so forget using them. There were spiders in the bathroom shower. TV did not work in the main living room. The outside picture posted on the website is not what the house looks like. They're is so much potential for the place it was disappointing. Beautiful kitchen. Oh and the smoke detector is missing in our room.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a great place to stay and we would definitely come back. Very clean and had everything we needed. The keurig in the kitchen would not work but fortunately our room keurig worked just fine. They had lots of nice snacks available as well as the use of a shared full kitchen.

Older historic remodeled home. Beautiful and well stocked kitchen and a nice distance away from the main road. Great for traveling with pets

We stayed in the Camelia room- it was spacious, and had a comfortable bed. We enjoyed hanging out in the living room and kitchen.

This property is very run down and looks quite thrown together - the grounds are overgrown, sticks everywhere, paint peeling, no outside lights. Cottage needs a complete overhaul and to be better stocked with dishes, flatware and cookware

The house was so comfortable, clean and welcoming. It's only a few minutes walk to the downtown area. The property has such character. I highly recommend! We stayed there to attend a wedding locally, but would actually think about staying at the Swamp Rabbit Inn as a weekend destination.

This was an excellent property to stay in. Stayed two nights while we rode the trail and couldn’t have asked for more. Clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending when you are in the Greenville area.

We were never sent a check in email with our door code even though I texted the owner mid day on the day of the arrival. She assured me we would get one. At 4pm, I texted her again and she told me she would send one to my direct email. I gave her my direct email and she scolded me via texted that I didn’t say yes please to her request. I finally received the door code. Luckily the AC worked. The floor was very dirty as I spilled water and when I went to clean it up, my paper towel was brown. One of the two sinks was clogged and there was no stopper so water just sat in the sink bowl. There were ants inside and were never ending. The only good thing about the proper was the location. I would not stay here again.

An interesting place. Walkable to Travelers Rest trails and restaurants. Clean, quiet, nice continental breakfast.

Clean convenient

No information provided about how to access property. When I arrived at 9pm I had to text the property manager for 30 minutes before she was willing to provide me the access codes needed to enter the property. Property manager was consistently rude, unhelpful, blamed Expedia, blamed myself, and was not interested in actually helping me to access the room I had paid for and reserved. After 30 minutes of passive aggressive texting I was finally emailed access codes - but was assigned a different room outside of the main house which I had to access by driving down a different dark road - with no lights on or ability to see the names of the building or room I was supposed to be accessing. I was told I was being "upgraded" to a new room. The new room no longer included the breakfast part of the bed & breakfast promised. This room had a dirty bathtub, broken down lamp, couch, and dresser. The main home seemed lovely - but that was not the experience I was provided. The person I interacted with was a total nightmare. I hope she was just a severely unhappy employee and not the actual owner - because she clearly is not a successful or trustworthy business person.

On arrival there, about 6 pm, there was no one to greet us and no other guests. The keyless pad entry on the front door of the main house did not work due to a low battery. A call to the manager instructed us to go through the kitchen entrance. The kitchen appeared not to be cleaned (crumbs on counter, garbage can full). When we got to our room (Azalea) the door was open and the room not been cleaned nor the bed made up. A second call to the manager got us into the Cottage room behind the main house, but once inside we discovered that the heater/AC was not working. A third call to the manager got us into Studio room. Once there we did have a comfortable experience (quiet, nice memory foam bed, decent shower).

In all fairness, if I could have given 3 1/2 stars I would have. Overall the room was very accommodating except there is no kitchen sink, and there was a hodgepodge of dishes, only one wine glass, and no eating utensils. The newly remodeled bathroom was a real treat, except we had no body soap and the right sink would not not drain as the drain plug would not budge to drain the sink. There was a rustic, but nice, front porch with a small table and two horrible chairs. I was able to get two metal chairs from the pool area and while not the most comfortable, they were safe to sit in. Unless you’re pretty savvy with electronics, the 3 remotes present will be a challenge to watch TV. But on to the good stuff! The king bed, while highly anticipated, first glance looked as if would be a disaster. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. THE MOST COMFORTABLE bed we have ever slept in! The morning and evening views from the front porch were beautiful! And the location could not be better! While the property could use general lawn maintenance and a touch of paint, the property was very quiet and the neighbors very neighborly! Hopefully the owners can do a little “tighten up” as we would love to stay there again as we will be traveling to Travelers Rest SC monthly for the next several months. Otherwise we’ll have to find other accommodations in this lovely city.

Great place to stay in Travelers Rest. The main house was clean. Enjoyable stay, just make sure to bring your own soap/body wash cause it was out

Not your usual hotel room….a room in an old house …different but nice….hardwood floors….could have been noisy but other people in the building were quiet and considerate

We really enjoyed staying at this property. We definitely want to make it a monthly trip. Everything was perfect and we had everything we needed. The only issue we had was that the a/c wasn’t working. We tried everything we could but barely any air was coming out. We decided to use the ceiling fan but hopefully the next time we book it, it will be fixed by then.

Nice place. Comfortable beds. Could not figure out how to turn on heat so it was a bit cold otherwise I would rate higher

Quiet. Nice area. Rooms need a little updating but the whole property has character and is super convenient for travelers rest.

Nice quiet property convenient to the activities we were there for. Definitely would stay there again. I have recommended this place to friends.

Prior to arriving, I texted the phone number I was sent in an email. I was supposed to text so that I could get the code for the private room access. After texting several times, calling and leaving voicemails, and also calling the emergency phone number, I never received a response. I ended up having to sleep on the sofa in the common area. Not knowing if other guests would arrive throughout the night was uncomfortable, to say the least. I also had to shower in a common area. Again, not knowing if someone would show up in the Inn. Available food for breakfast was yogurt, fig bars, dry bagels, (no butter no cream cheese), coffee, and store bought muffins. The muffins were awful. After 48 hours, still no phone call from Swamp Rabbit Inn staff. I am notifying hotels.com to see if I can get a refund!

Expedia actually sold me a room that the property never had available, booked for 3 nights, and charged for the stay. The property owner was wonderful! They went above and beyond to help resolve the situation, was very impressed and will most definitely be staying here again in the future!

The location was excellent. The check in process could be smoother.

The rooms I reserved have been changed and the code I was given is not working.

This is our third time staying here while visiting family in nearby Greenville. Self check-in is great and allowed us to arrive on our own time. Our next stay will be in the small cottage. We are looking forward to it.

The Swamp Rabbit Inn at Travelers Rest is a quiet and comfortable place to stay but it is less like a hotel or traditional bed & breakfast and more like an Airbnb or VRBO. There is no management at the property or anyone to speak with on the phone since check-in is after 4pm and no one is available by phone after 4pm. All communication is through email or text message. We did not receive our check-in instructions until about half an hour after we arrived. But once we got into the property everything went smoothly. Unlike a traditional inn, you are supposed to take out your own trash and there is contradictory information on whether you simply put any used dishes in the dishwasher, or if you need to run the dishwasher on your departure. I was traveling with my family and having the communal space of the inn available to us outside of our room did make our stay more comfortable. Also, be award there may be an additional cleaning fee not included in the reservation. All that said, Swamp Rabbit Inn at Travelers Rest is a decent and comfortable place to stay that is walkable to the best parts of TR's Main St. In my opinion, it could just use a little bit more of a human touch and less reliance on technology.

This is our favorite place to stay when visiting the Greenville area. We move the property and walking around town. Food is excellent! All of the amenities are great onsite and the self check in is really easy if you read the directions.

Over all it’s a good stay except below: hotel site says it’s wheelchair accessible but it’s not. There’s no ramp but stairs. The bath tub was too high to a handicap person to step over. The location was not easy to find. I’d recommend the management to place a sign for easy identification from the Main Street.

An interesting place. Walkable to Travelers Rest trails and restaurants. Clean, quiet, nice continental breakfast.

We stayed in the Cottage which is very private, cute, and comfortable. The property is in the heart of downtown Travelers Rest. Many great shops and restaurants are within walking distance. There is no staff on the property, so having any problems addressed may be concern.

Quirky, but very clean, comfortable, and fun. Hard to find, especially at night.

On the surface, the property was great, but when I had to interact with “the owner”, it got worse. I received a two page email, the day of checkin, giving a list of things that we could be fined for. (“Don’t leave large boxes in garbage” “put dishes in dishwasher, not sink”, etc.) then when I texted for help, I was told I should read the instructions. I got it while traveling so I had ti read it on my phone and there was A LOT of information. Also, neither of the coffee machines worked.
