Welcome to the Carriage House! Tucked away on a peaceful farm in Central, SC near Clemson University, this cottage carries a bit of history in every beam and board. Originally built in the early 1960s as a simple farm outbuilding, it later served as a workshop before beginning a new chapter in 2018. Carefully rebuilt and reimagined, it now stands as a warm, inviting retreat with space to comfortably sleep up to six guests. Set beside the woods, the home offers a serene alternative to a hotel stay, with ample parking for cars, RVs, and even boats.

Step inside and you’ll find a full kitchen equipped with everything you need for everyday cooking and relaxed meals at home. Settle into the electronic recliners to watch a movie or catch the big game on one of the two large DISH-equipped TVs — one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. Or choose a boardgame from the collection that surrounds the Carriage House’s iconic spiral staircase. This flexible living space is designed for connection, comfort, and memory-making.

Downstairs, a quaint master bedroom offers a quiet retreat alongside a full bathroom with a shower/tub combination, towels, premium soaps, and an “oops basket” of some essential toiletries you may have forgotten, all provided for your convenience. You'll also find a large laundry/utility room and closet. The two accessible cots in this space create a convenient and separate sleeping area for smaller children. Additional sleeping options are available on the main floor, where the fold-out couch and nearby half bath easily double as another comfortable bedroom arrangement at night.

Just outside on the elevated deck, a Charbroil gas grill and inviting outdoor dining setup are perfect for a gameday cookout or a relaxed evening meal amidst the trees. And for crisp fall nights, the stone firepit below provides the ideal spot to unwind, warm up, and enjoy the peaceful setting.

The Carriage House offers comfort, character, and a quiet corner of the Upstate to truly slow down and enjoy your stay. Traveling with friends or a larger group? Check out the nearby Bunk House — a separate six person cottage with its own kitchen and laundry — making it the perfect companion rental.
