Travelers Rest

ABOUT THE AREA

For this area tour we're taking you to Travelers Rest! As you might imagine, the town got its name from being a rest area for travelers who went back and forth across the Blue Ridge Mountains following the wagon trail in the early 1800s. Not only is it a great place to call home, but it's also surrounded by beautiful mountains, lakes, streams, and waterfalls. In 1891 it became an incorporated town and it has blossomed ever since.

Of course we have to talk about the different restaurants in the area! If you're looking for some awesome breakfast to start your morning, then Tandem Creperie and Coffeehouse is a must. They have a variety of crepes, both sweet and savory, and some of the best locally sourced coffee. For breweries, there's Swamp Rabbit Brewery which is family owned and operated. Lastly, is an all- American cafe called Whistle Stop which has so many options on their menu. 

For some fun things to do outside, make sure to check out the Swamp Rabbit Trail because the trail actually starts in Travelers Rest and takes you to Downtown Greenville! There's also Trailblazer Park which has walking and biking trails, outdoor gazebos, and an amphitheater where they host different local events, concerts, and movie nights! When it comes to housing in Travelers Rest, they have an eclectic mix of just about everything. 

You can find houses with historic charm all the way to beautiful new construction homes. The area continues to get bigger as builders have been expanding into new neighborhoods. Travelers Rest has anything and everything available for what you're looking for.
