Call us today to learn more! We are thrilled to welcome you to our homes in the heart of the Upstate of South Carolina.
My name is Stefania Bondurant and I am a native of Italy but I moved to Greenville in 2002. My husband Charley is a native Greenvillian and we are your hosts here. As lovers of travel, good food, arts, and longtime residents of Greenville, we are passionate about sharing the beauty and tranquility of the Upstate and our neighborhood with our guests.
Locals gatekeep this. Visitors fall in love. Guests who stay with us get the shortcut.

This is exactly why our homes are located where they are:
• quick drives to waterfalls
• early-morning trail access before the crowds
• easy returns for showers, food, and rest
You don’t need to “plan a hiking trip.”
You just need to stay close enough to do it right.
Guests staying with us don’t rush — they hike early, come back to shower, and head out to dinner.
It’s about where to stay so these places are actually reachable and enjoyable.

Was it coffee or tea last time? ☕️
We remember — because that’s how we host.
Our homes aren’t designed to feel generic. They’re designed to feel personal — down to your morning ritual.
Hospitality here isn’t automated. It’s intentional.
If that’s how you like to travel, book direct when you’re ready.

We don't think of what we do as just renting a home. We think of it as opening one.

The Swamp Rabbit Trail isn't about speed. It's about the stops in between.
Grab your person. Pack a basket. Stop by the flower shop on Main. Hit an art gallery. Grab gelato. Bike home as the sun drops. This is how the Upstate moves—and why we built the guide.
Everything you need to plan the perfect slow ride is waiting.
Who said you need to go to Europe to experience something like that?
