The property has an interesting history. We believe it was the first home in the area to have electricity (powered by a water-wheel at the back of the property, some remnants of that structure remain). The home was used as a place for travelers passing thru the area to stop and get a good night's rest. Of course, every old home has a ghost story. The weeping sound of Nancy the Ghost is claimed to be heard on occasion, we can’t confirm or deny her presence...but we are pretty sure Nancy is a friendly gal and her "weeping" is just the sounds of the old house creaking.
We can confirm that former US President LBJ was a guest. He liked it and we believe you will as well. For details, contact Scott.
Location: Yes...it is in the mountains, not rolling foothills. Ceasar's Head and Table Rock are just a few miles down the road from The Shamrock House, as well as many, many waterfalls, hiking, biking, tubing, whitewater rafting...you name it!
For recreation on the property, we have a basketball goal, a game of horseshoes, and several open meadows where the kids can play whatever sport they enjoy (just bring your gear)...or just relax in a hammock!
The property is located in the Rocky Bottom area of Sunset, Upcountry, South Carolina, approximately halfway between Pickens, South Carolina and Brevard, North Carolina on Highway 178 (an easy 30 minute drive to Brevard). The cabin is approximately seven miles north of Highway 11, the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway.
Drive time from Atlanta or Charlotte ~ 2.5 hrs
from Asheville ~ 1 hr
Special Features: Equipped kitchens, outdoor (park style) grills, basketball goal, horseshoe pits, picnic tables, smart TV & Wifi in main cabin, trout stream, wildlife (beavers, turkey, deer, bear and other critters).
Dates Available: Year round.
Disclaimer: This property is "in the sticks." Although there are convenience stores a short drive down the road, and small towns within a 20-25 minute drive, please be aware that this area is remote. The main cabin is almost 100 yrs old and all 3 cabins are rustic. We work hard to keep everything dust-free and clean, but the nature of the property (and mother nature around the property) can change things overnight. Be advised, the Shamrock house is NOT disability friendly, some of the outdoor steps around the property are natural stone and if you have mobility issues this property may not be a good fit.

Summary: A great weekend. We did an amateur ghost investigation and enjoyed a nice place to relax. Morning coffee on the porch was a blessing.
Laura D. Feb 24, 2025 03:15:44 AM
Summary: We stayed with a group of moms and daughters (all ages 5) for our annual retreat. This place had a lot of rustic appeal. We felt the kitchen (particularly the trout house one) was very well stocked. The girls had a great time exploring the grounds and have all requested that we go back to this location again!

Summary: We did not find the Shamrock House property to be as well-maintained and equipped for visitors as the advertisement led us to believe. On the positive side, the main house is dramatically rustic, with a “great room” that is ideal for gatherings of people. The heating system does a good job (at least down into the 50s F) at keeping the main room warm. On the downside, a real woodburning fireplace was a main consideration for our winter get-together. The website asserts that there are fireplaces, but in fact they are shams fitted with unvented(!) gas logs; the chimneys are sealed. The remote control for the gas logs was missing, and we elected not to use them. Upstairs bedrooms get too cold at night unless the heat is left on and doors are left partially open. No extra blankets.The TV and DVD player were not usable due to a lack of suitable cables. The kitchen in the main house is not suitable for serious cooking for any number of guests. The electrified woodstove lacks proper instructions and has controls that are only partially functional. The dishes are Melamine, not supposed to go into a microwave or dishwasher. No practical way to wash dishes that won’t fit into the dishwasher. At least one fire extinguisher has low pressure and would be useless in case of fire,Shower valves in both bathrooms are disintegrating.

Summary: This property was unique, historic and a peaceful getaway in the woods! We had a great time.
Anne-Marie J. Nov 11, 2024 06:03:15 AM
Summary: Property description very accurate. Was rustic for sure, but in a good way. Communication with host was great, he was quick to respond and very helpful. Great location and very spacious for large family gatherings. Fire pit was put to use! Recommend bringing chairs for additional outdoor seating around fire.
Amanda J. Nov 4, 2024 10:22:47 AM
Summary: We stayed for the weekend to fish & kayak at local lakes. This property was perfect for our weekend family trip. We had already read the property description and reviews and were prepared for the mountain landscape between the cabins, cellular service, etc. We were looking for an authentic rustic log cabin experience and the beautiful main cabin is just that. We loved the wide wrap around porch, the fire pits, of course the intriguing history of the cabin. We did experience some interesting activity and plan to return in the future!

Summary: We had a great time at the Shamrock House!
Zach A. Sep 3, 2024 09:55:51 PM
Summary: The Shamrock, Bunkhouse, and Trout House were a great location for our family/friend reunion. The Trout House was perfect as the quiet house for little kids and was close to the beautiful meadows where we walked and played games. I am glad we brought bug spray for the evening games in the field. The Main House was the gathering spot at night and had a unique charm. A few of us even experienced Nancy playing with their hair or flickering the lights at night.
Regina F. Aug 27, 2024 10:57:00 PM
Summary: We had plenty of room. But steep steps between parking and houses was undesirable. Locks were not very secure. Kitchen better in trout house than main house was hindering for meal planning. Light bulb out in bunk house. Then a Light came on in night by itself so we think there is a wiring issue. Groups traveling should not be expected to carry trash with them. I appreciate the exception made for us. We had packed cars. It was noisy due to lots of motorcycles in area!! We really enjoyed the fire pit and wood supply. The appliances were great. The air worked great. WiFi was very good for most of us. There was a mouse in main house one night. Loved the big front porch but needed more seats for family grouping.we used our camp chairs.
Brian K. Aug 19, 2024 12:35:52 AM
Summary: Haven’t made it home and already miss this place. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this perfect getaway spot. So much to do on the property and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you Nancy for being friendly!
