Welcome to Respite Ridge and the Rustic Refuge Cabin, one of three cabins situated on a 10-acre mountain view estate less than one mile from Landrum town center. Rustic Refuge offers peace and solitude. Hang out on the large front porch or sit a spell on the back deck with a cup of coffee to watch the early morning deer graze the back field. Enjoy views of White Oak Mountain and Saluda Ridge in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills while relaxing on the back porch with a glass of wine.
The Rustic Refuge Log Cabin is a cozy place to enjoy breakfast before heading to Main Street for antique shopping or Amish furniture exploring. Or you may decide to out for breakfast at Southern Manners, lunch at Hare and Hound, dinner at Soulisa’s and finish up with a glass of wine and live music at one of the local wineries including Overmountain Winery, Mountain Brook Winery or The Red Horse Inn.
