Beautiful home, great communication.

The home was directly on the lake as advertised and there was plenty of space for 8 adults and 4 kids! The boat and jet ski rental was as advertised and easy to utilize. The hosts answered all of our questions in a timely fashion and were very accommodating. Would stay here again!

Paradise!

This had to have been our best stay ever in a vrbo. Autumn was very on top of everything and we had a great stay. There was endless amenities and the kids all had the best time on the beach and cove. It was a great experience and we will be booking again for next summer! Great location for a day trip to Greenville and Clemson.

Great stay for spring break

The house was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay. It’s a great house, especially if you have teens because the basement has video games, TVs, hot tub, kayak and paddle boards all available for guests to use. Our kids had a great time for spring break. The house is set back in a quiet cove. It’s very close to town and only about a 15 minute drive for groceries. The owner was very responsive when I had questions. Would definitely recommend.

Dads 85th birthday celebration

My family had an epic and unforgettable experience. This house is so much fun! The hot tub, pool table, firepits, and jet skis kept us all entertained. The lake views are so beautiful and the secluded cove was perfect for a large boisterous group. Kitchen and bathrooms fully stocked! Just 10 mins drive to my favorite grocery stores- Publix and Aldi. Very kind and responsive management. We appreciate you and hope to return next year.
