The campus of Furman University is located just south of the city limits of Travelers Rest, but the university retains a Greenville address based on its ZIP code. The name "Travelers Rest" came from the fact that it is situated close to the border with the North Carolina mountains. Travelers would stop for a moment in the town before they began the difficult journey into the mountains. Travelers would often have to spend the winter there, waiting for the snow to clear in the mountains before continuing northward.

We have visited here before, this is our second visit. I cannot say enough positive things about our visit. We were greeted like family. They remembered us from our previous visit. That is an amazing thing. John's tour and history is wonderful. We can't wait for him to write his book, already have a copy sold. His wife and daughter are WONDERFUL???? As far as the spirits go, top notch, wonderful, smooth. You can tell that he and his family really take pride in the product they are producing. Will definitely be back and will also tell all our friends and family. Go see them in Travelers Rest. Support South Carolina small business. We will be back soon. Thank you all for making a Saturday afternoon great. You need to try the moonshine chili. It is an AWARD winner. See you again soon and thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Perfect place to gather with friends, especially during porch weather. They helped me find a wine I liked, even though I tend to not like wines at all. They took it as a challenge and helped me find something delicious. This location is tucked away at the back of a building but it's worth discovering. You can bring your own tacos fro next door and sit by the cozy fire or sit on their cute porch.

This shop has some great deals on Patagonia and Kavu products, which I normally buy online from REI. It’s well worth the visit and the staff is super helpful and friendly. It’s a great place to buy local trail maps and paddle guides and I bought a local folklore book while I was in there too. Any outdoor enthusiast should stop on in here.
