Highlands Cinemas. This unique 5-theatre multiplex theater is built into the home of a local resident, just 5 minutes from the cottage. Even the parking lot is an adventure - consisting of a surprising amount of small parking areas winding their way back through the property. Find your spot and purchase your ticket to the show! While waiting to go in, be sure to wind your way through the theatre (which is really a museum, sorted in decades, of the history of film).

Golf. There are several golf courses within 20 minutes of the cottage - Gull River Golf Club, The Links at Moncks Landing, and Blairhampton Golf Club..
