    Travelers Rest is a great welcoming small town. We have people from all over the U.S. that live here. The schools are great and classes are small. We have many new restaurants and shops in our booming dowtown as well as a thriving community of runners and cyclists! The Swamp Rabbit Trail provides easy access to the nearby city of Greenville.

    Travelers rest is a small town in Greenville, SC. Everyone knows everyone. It is much like a family scene. It is a great place to raise children! Beautiful, and close to mountains.
    Safe, small, beautifully situated in the foothills of the Appalachain mountains, dedicated police department in town limits. Quiet, great schools. Awesome small-town feel with revamped downtown area and access to Swamp Rabbit Trail and some tourist destinations.
