A little slice of hipster heaven, Tandem makes an excellent cappuccino and delicious, inventive waffles and sweet and savory crepes. You can also expect very friendly service. Peak times can be quite busy. Both indoor and outdoor seating available, and currently it's possible to do takeaway via their adorable VW bus (which is also where all ordering now takes place; ask them about seating).

If you want good Japanese food without driving into Greenville or Asheville, Sushi Yama is a nice option. Indoor and outdoor seating available, and check for live music outdoors on weekends. We supplement our sushi rolls with a side of fried rice--a tasty and budget-friendly option.

If you're looking for a truly-local, small-town Southern food experience for breakfast or lunch, head to the Drover. The full Southern breakfast is the real deal and super-filling. At lunchtime, try the Cuban sandwich (huge and excellent--shareable), the tomato pie, or the renowned pulled pork (made on premises). All of the sides are good, too! Eat up, y'all! *Under new ownership, so please check their times and menu. They close at 2 pm and aren't open on Sunday and Monday.

A stalwart of the Travelers Rest community, Leopard Forest is the kind of place where certain locals come in just about every morning and order the same latte or Americano and sit down to chat with friends and neighbors. Service is friendly. Note that Leopard Forest has moved to a location nearby on S. Poinsett Hwy, where they also do their roasting.

Around 40 minutes from each Haus, before you get into Asheville, this is a brewery but so much more! Go to the restaurant for a beer flight and some delicious appetizers (we've liked everything we've tried!). Head outside to check out the gardens, listen to live music, or just enjoy a walk in the lovely outdoor setting. Of course, you can take a brewery tour, and be sure to check out the guest shop before you leave! Open daily.

Just 2 minutes north of Blue Haus, Harestream Haus, and also a couple of minutes from Moonhaven Haus, this is a rustic place where you can sit outside (which we recommend) and order a burger and fries and a sweet tea for no more than you'd pay at a fast food joint. Nothing fancy, but it's local!

Just 25 minutes from Blue Haus/Harestream Haus, Table Rock's hiking trails will take you past mountain streams and waterfalls to the tops of Pinnacle and Table Rock Mountains. The Park serves as an access point to the 80-mile SC Foothills Trail. There are two lakes for swimming and kayaking. Carrick Creek trail leads to a lovely waterfall--this trail is very close to a parking lot and is thus a really easy walk with a scenic payoff. Across the highway from the main State Park entrance is Lake Oolenoy, which is very peaceful and good for beginning kayakers.

20-30 minutes from each Haus, the Jones Gap State Park trails allow hikers to traverse between Jones Gap and Caesars Head State Parks, as well as connect to a portion of the Foothills Trail and Palmetto Trail South Carolina hikers know and love.

For those who don't want to hike or fish but still want to see the gorgeous river and other views, it's an easy walk from the parking lot to several beautiful areas. Highly recommended and perfect for a picnic!! Cell service basically non-existent within park. Note hiking hours.

The Good Market
Curated goods for you and your home, especially nice if you like muted colors/earth tones. There's even a sweet little kids' corner.
If you venture to Easley and you love eclectic, atmospheric shops, you MUST visit Circa! It's Diane's favorite home decor and gifts shop in the Upstate. We love their prints, soaps and candles, jewelry, vintage items, and locally-made home decor pieces. I never leave empty-handed! Hours are limited, so check before going!
