Great family getaway

Great place to get away and just relax. From the little touches that the cabin was decorated in to fishing off the dock, roasting marshmallows at the fire pit and grilling off the back deck, it was a fun close to home getaway.

Loved morning on the screened porch with a cup of coffee! We were there to go to Clemson basketball and football games and both were night games and we missed out on enjoying the fire pit. But we had a couple of peaceful days reading on the dock and my husband swam around some! It was an easy drive to Seneca and Clemson both. The cabin is so lovely!! Clean and well stocked, we made breakfasts and lunch but ate dinners out. We will definitely hope it is available next year when we come again!!
Feeling blessed to be relaxing on the deck in the quiet morning!

Great long weekend

Our family and a few friends had a great long weekend. The home is fully stocked in the kitchen, beds are comfortable, back porch is very relaxing, smores at the fire pit one night, fishing off the dock, floating and relaxing in the water. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.

Highly recommend!

The canoe and paddle boards were fun to use. Property and the lake were private and quiet. It looked like the stone pathway and the surrounding mulch from the house to the lake were recently added; very nice. We definitely recommend this property!

Great Stay

Great stay, property met expectations. Kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked multiple meals and everything we needed was there. (not having a garbage disposal in the sink was a bit of extra work) View from fire pit is fantastic. Easy to get to grocery store. Hikes in both SC and NC are within easy distance.

Hi Matthew- Thank you for your comments. We do not have a disposal because we’re on a septic system and it’s most likely to back up when people use a disposal, grinding up hard-shelled items, etc that do not break down as easily. We decided not to add it, even though we wired to add one after purchasing the cabin, for reliability of the system for all guests. Thanks!

Cool cabin but not for the elderly

Beautiful location. Cool quirky log cabin especially upstairs with the varied ceilings and materials. We had 3 elderly grandparents and they could not enjoy going down to the lake due to the steep slope. It was hard to tell from the pictures of the back yard how steep the slope was. But overall a cool cabin.
