Fourteen cottages.
Thirty-eight acres.
One hilltop barn.
A boutique hotel in the foothills of upstate South Carolina, minutes from Clemson and Lake Keowee, and just far enough from everything else.
A quaint Southern stay where every material feels authentic, every light glows warmly, and every corner invites guests to slow down, linger a while, and laugh a little. With charming accommodations, open spaces to gather, and a beautiful event barn, String Light is a place for weekend escapes, meaningful celebrations and memories made.

The Barn at String Light sits at the highest point of the property, with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, through the pecan trees, and down to the pond. It’s built for the moments a cottage can’t hold – weddings, rehearsal dinners, milestone birthdays, corporate retreats, family reunions, or a Saturday you want to remember for a while.

A Little More Getaway. A Lot More You.
Opening in 2027, The Cottages at String Light make getting away a little more memorable. Tucked into the woods of Six Mile, South Carolina, we’re just over 15 minutes from Clemson University and under an hour from downtown Greenville.
Think beautifully designed spaces, full kitchens, private porches, wooded trails, and a pond where you can cast a line and see what bites. Morning coffee outside. Dinner that turns into another glass of wine. It’s your kind of place to slow down, settle in, and stay for a while.
