Rough start

It was very difficult to get instructions on how to get into the property, the management company was useless. We called VRBO directly and got a clear and concise answer. The weekend turned out great! We hiked all around, swam a lot and hung out on the porch with a superb view of the lake.

Nice and close to lake

Perfect for me and my son's little fishing trip. Nice and tidy spot. A little different that the cabin is connected to the residence, but we had no issues. No central air or heat, but they provide space heaters which helped on our one chilly night. If you want to disconnect, this is the place. Very few channels on TV and no cell service. The proximity to the lake was perfect and you're not too far from town for some decent dining options. Overall, very nice time spent.

Quite Enjoyable

We stayed 5 nights in April. The weather was a mix of chilly and warm so the fireplace was lovely. The view is spectacular. We enjoyed kayaking around the lake and hiking on nearby trails. I did not realize this cabin was actually attached to the owner's home. That may have bothered me if they were home, but they were not, so we had complete privacy. The cabin is located in a neighborhood so you are not totally alone, but because it is located at a dead end, you don't realize it. Nice area to walk in. The bed was comfortable. The TV did not offer much reception. All in all, we loved it and would stay again.

10/10 Excellent

Peaceful Lake View

If you are looking for a quiet getaway overlooking a lake in the South Carolina mountains, this place will suit you well. Had coffee on the front deck looking out at the lake each morning, listening to the Hooded Warbler singing away. We had a nice paddle around the lake in the canoe, and John (owner who was in the next door of the duplex) told us how to find the pretty little waterfall that feeds the lake.

Very secluded

Nice place to stay. Could be cleaner and would have been nice to know the shower didn’t work. But bath tub was clean so bath it was. Nice place but could use a little updating and better cleaning staff. Overall nice quiet stay!
