A new Swamp Rabbit Trail destination is coming soon. You know The Station by Compo Hotels — that cute cluster of luxury cottages a mile from Downtown Travelers Rest? It’s about to get a $14 million transformation featuring:

A 16-suite boutique hotel
A food hall on the ground floor with up to 5,000 sqft for cafes, restaurants, and boutique retail
A 5,500-sqft event venue

Brice Bay, CEO of Compo Hotels, says they’re just rolling with TR’s growth: “Travelers Rest is exploding.”

Construction is expected to start this fall, with an opening by summer 2026.

This photo shows a cozy and modern café interior. A hand in the foreground is holding an iced coffee in a clear plastic cup with a lid and straw. The background features a seating area with white chairs, soft-toned furniture, and large windows letting in natural light. The décor includes potted plants, a patterned rug, a glass-top coffee table, and wall art. Outside, it appears to be a rainy day, adding to the cozy ambiance.
