About this property
Lake Wateree Retreat: Dock & Screened Porch!
New Rental! | Dog Friendly w/ Fee | Lakefront Fire Pit
This vacation rental brings a little Camden history to the shoreline. Built in the 1960s by local artist Jak Smyrls using reclaimed wood and heart-of-pine beams, the cottage is full of texture, charm, and original artwork. Start your day with coffee on the porch and end it with stories around the fire pit, framed by wide-open lake views. Inside, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms offer comfort between every swim, cast, or cruise on Lake Wateree.
