Christmas relaxation trip

Our stay was great from the start. The property was easy to find, secluded from neighbors and just what we wanted to relax. The cabin was beautifully furnished, all the extra amenities you could ask for and the paddle boards/kayaks were a great way to spend the time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

What a fantastic place to come for a long weekend! Beautiful views of the lake, and an abundance of wildlife and waterfowl surrounds the property. The fire pit was a real treat that we enjoyed every night. The house was stocked with anything you would need to feel right at home. We will definitely be returning to the area.

Our stay at the Quick Retreat was exactly what we wanted for our vacation. We were able to dock our fishing boat at the dock, bring our family dog, fish and swim daily. The location felt safe, yet private. The home was clean and included everything that we needed. This was one of our favorite vacations and lots of wonderful memories were made!

Everything and more! Great stay!

Home away from home! More home than cabin. All the comforts of home nestled in the trees right on the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed the mornings and evenings on the deck, use of the provided kayaks and canoe and just fishing on the dock. Owners were super easy to work with and welcomed our two four legged family members, chocolate labs. We would highly recommend and we look forward to returning to Quick Retreat on Lake Wateree.

Quiet and Clean cabin

We enjoyed our stay. Even though the water was low my husband caught a few fish. My grandchildren came over for a day and enjoyed playing on the paddle boards. I enjoyed the peace and quiet so I could catch up on my reading. All in all there was something for everyone to do.

Perfect birthday getaway

It was hard to leave this lovely lake getaway - especially watching our 1-year old puppy joyfully take his first swim! Porches and open floor plan great for pets. Bunk bed room will be popular with the grandchildren. Fairy lights strung between oaks and pines on the hilly wooded lot were magical

Awesome Place

This place was great. We stayed for an entire week. We brought our boat and put it in at a local ramp and we’re able to leave it in the water at the dock for the house. House was roomy enough for our five people we had staying. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The owner messaged us about check in/out instructions, easy process. Great place to get away for the weekend or a week long stay. Highly recommend.

Awesome

Our son has a place at colonial creek. But the family has gotten to large for one house. So we started looking and found this place. It’s was awesome. Great location and great view. The only thing I would change is. I would cut smaller trees for more view of the lake. We will definitely be coming back.

Such a Peaceful & Beautiful Location--I Don't Want to Leave!

Our stay at this lake house was absolutely wonderful! The photos and description are spot on—what you see is exactly what you get. The house is warm and inviting, equipped with all the modern amenities you could need. The kitchen offers plenty of storage for groceries and ample counter space, making it perfect for cooking and gathering. While it’s hard to pick a favorite feature, the porch with its rockers and swing overlooking the lake was truly special. It’s the perfect spot to watch boats drift by and take in breathtaking sunsets. After nine amazing days here, we’re sad to leave and wish we had another week. We’ll definitely be back!

Clean, Quiet and Convenient

Elizabeth and David have a hidden gem in this property. It sits on a private lot on the lake with great amenities. The hosts are helpful and very responsive. It was very clean, and well supplied with everything you will need. I stayed during the weekend of the hurricane never lost power, cable or internet. I highly recommend this property for families or just the get away weekend for two.
