Visiting Travelers Rest?

Looking for an eclectic and fun space to call home away from home?

The Blue Haus Studio is exactly what you need.  It’s located about 8 minutes from downtown Travelers Rest and close to North Greenville University, the mountains of North Carolina, Furman and Greenville too.

The studio is located on the property of the Harestream and you can rent both together if you’re interested.

Overflowing with vintage and unusual items from Jonathan and Diane’s travels and time spent living overseas, you’ll find the studio full of games, music (there’s a piano and a ukulele!), movies and cozy comfort.  You can prepare simple dishes in the studio kitchen – although TR has so many fabulous dining options that you may go that route too!

There’s a hot tub available and a lovely backyard.  You’ll love the record player (with a wide assortment of records to choose from) and all of the quirky and unusual decorations and collectibles.  In fact, Jonathan and Diane used to own a home goods store here in TR, so if you see a price tag on any item you grow fond of during your stay, it’s for purchase and would make the sweetest souvenir.

Cooks.

Designed in a Barn, Tested on the Farm.

Flip flops.  Leather bags.  Clutches.  Wallets.  Our products speak for themselves.

From concept of idea, to prototype, to finished product, all our designs are uniquely our own.

Welcome to Cooks where we design, build and test all our products against the rigors of farm life, surf trips and adventures in between. We view all our designs as machines.  They must perform in such a way as to accomplish a necessary task. If it can’t perform, we aren’t going to produce it.

We begin by cutting and hand sewing all our products. We then test it in the field to make sure it performs and then we physically tear the product apart to find its weakness. We then tweak the design as needed, put it on paper and get it ready for production.

Dicey Langston Historical Site

If you are driving along Tigerville Road, just a few miles north of the center of Travelers Rest, you will come across a stone pyramid, about the height of a person. If you go too fast, you will miss it. But where this little monument stands, next to a private home, was once the western frontier of our country. 

Here stands a monument to mark the life and legacy of  Laodicea ‘Dicey’ Langston Springfield, a woman who would become, in some literal senses, a founding mother to Travelers Rest and the communities near here. A woman who, when she was but a 14 year old girl, became a heroine of the brutal conflict in the war in the South Carolina backcountry. In the nearly 240 years since, there have been historical and nonfiction books of teenage Dicey, a school named after her, historical societies formed in her honor, even songs and poetry written about Dicey.

You can read more about Dicey in our article here.

Topsoil Kitchen & Market

864.610.2281

More than just a restaurant, Topsoil was founded by three friends who wanted to connect with their food in a more meaningful way.

Their classroom is a 16 acre farm in Travelers Rest, and their mentors are a handful of passionate neighboring farmers. They have built a thriving operation that has given them a valuable perspective and respect for the hard work that small farms do daily to put food on our tables and in our picnic baskets.

The kitchen and market they have built to showcase these efforts is in the historic Williams Hardware store in Travelers Rest nestled between Main Street and the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

Their menus celebrate the seasons and always begin with phone calls to farmers. This honest connection with the people that grow the food they prepare is what they want to share the most.

To these three friends, Topsoil is something much greater than a kitchen and a market, it is a love letter to long growing seasons and hard working small farmers
