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.

The description of the property was exact. The cabin was absolutely beautiful, and the property was beautiful. We walked the woods and the field on the property over a dozen times with the dogs and played a few games of horseshoe by the flowing creek. Definitely was a wonderful girls weekend! We will definitely be back!

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.
