There were some minor issues that we discussed with host. Quick communication by host. Beautiful views in a quiet location. We really enjoyed our stay.
I'm so glad your family had a good time at the lake. Hopefully it was just what you guys needed. Thank you for taking care of the home and I hope to host you all again soon!
Our family stayed for Christmas and Trevor and his team were incredibly responsive and helpful! Beautiful sunrise views, fenced yard, and lots of beds! Spent time at the state park nearby, which was an added bonus!

It's good to see that you had a wonderful time at the lake for your holiday. Thank you for taking great care of the home. Please come back soon!
The home is located on one of the most beautiful stretches of lake front on Wateree, bird island is absolutely picturesque. There is plenty of kitchen space and the property is big as well. It was a very nice stay and the owner was very responsive when we had questions.

We had a friend coming in from Dallas and wanted a quiet place to stay. We found it. Trevor was a wonderful host. The house was so cute and we enjoyed the unexpected Jukebox!

Thanks for the great review Marsha!! We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!!
The view was amazing! The house was way more then what was needed for 9 people, meaning you could comfortably bring more friends or family. We brought our jet ski and were allowed use of the onsite jet ski dock. Trevor and his assistant were very helpful with everything. Would visit again for sure. Maybe just the wife and I…😬lol

So glad you enjoyed your time at the lake house! And thank you for taking care of the property. You, your wife and anyone else in your party are welcome back anytime!
The location on the lake is wonderful. Our family of six adults were well-accommodated. The fenced yard was a great benefit for our dog. The adult grandchildren enjoyed the raft on the water that Trevor provided. Trevor is an excellent host/owner. He went out of his way to meet all our needs that arose. Would not hesitant to stay at one of his homes in the future.

We enjoyed our stay. We brought two dogs with us and the fenced area and screened porch was just perfect for them. The property sits on an amazing lot with direct access to the lake. We had daily entertainment with the boaters that stopped at the sand bar across the property and were having a good time. Our group was large with 7 adults and 4 children and everyone had a place to sleep and was not on top of each other. Minus the lake power outage and losing AC our last night, we had a great weekend.

Thanks for the great review Jinnie!! We are so glad you enjoyed your vacation on Lake Wateree!! We hope to host you again in the future!!
This is a great property and a great location. The property had never been rented and the owner, Trevor, had 24 hours notice to get it ready. he did a great job and was very attentive. He is aware of a few things that need to be done but was VERY accommodating to our needs. Lake Wateree is amazing and we had so much fun.

The online photos of this place are deceiving. The location is its saving grace. Love being on the point. However, the house is very rundown and well used. It needs a lot of cleaning and repair. HVAC appeared new and worked well.

We booked this property for a family fishing vacation for my 15-yr old son's birthday. We arrived at the house around 7pm after a 2.5-hour drive. Upon arrival, the lake and property grounds were nice and well kept. However, upon entering the house we noticed a stale musty, mildew and cigarette smoke smell. We also began to notice that many of the light fixtures and fans had blown light bulbs along with the fans being coated in dust and dirt. As we looked around the house we further noticed that the most smoke detectors had been removed from the ceiling, many pieces of furniture were stained and some ripped, the carpet was ripped and pulled up in many areas, the sinks and toilets were dirty, no soap or paper products other than 1.5 rolls of TP, the very few towels available were musty, stained and tattered, the air vent returns were caked in dirt, the prior dirty filters were discarded into the primary bedroom closet along with small piles of dirty clothes, the upstairs balcony rails were rotten and loose, and no working grill could we find. I had spoken to the owner when we booked the reservation, and he seemed very nice and accommodating. I spoke to him again at check in and he was helpful. I called him another time at 9 pm to mention the house was not going to work based on the issues presented, and that we would be heading back home. He said he was sorry it would not work. He made no offer to remedy anything. We then drove home EXTREMELY disappointed for another 2.5 hrs.
We really enjoyed this house. The screened porch is pointed east for beautiful sunrises. The fishing was good. Caught and released some nice catfish. Trevor the owner of the property is very responsive to questions and cares about his guests. In 2018 we rented another property that he owns and had the same good treatment. The house has all you need for a great vacation. There is also a huge sandbar about 150 yards from the dock that is great for wading and swimming that you can tie your boat up at or just swim out to. Do not hesitate to rent this house.

It's so good to hear you had great experiences with my properties. I've loved having you come back to spend time at the lake again! Thank you so much for taking great care of the home, we'll hopefully be able to connect again next summer!
Property was definitely in a prime location, and the extra amount of docking areas for boats and jet ski’s was a plus, would recommend some clean up around the property, main dock repair, the access amount of things on the rear screened in pourch made it hard to utilize the whole thing. And the over growness of bushes and landscaping could definitely help, with outside cleanless for guest with children. I definitely will be coming back, was a great location and a great host. Very responsive and very cooperative! Thank you

Not clean and cockroaches!!! Not the p-lace to stay if you have allergies. Called the property manager and it was cleaned better when we arrived there the next night. We will not stay there again.

We always make great effort to make certain our guests have the best time possible at the lake, am sorry to see this review. Our housekeeper came quickly to address your concerns, so I am glad to have been able to provide that service for you. Still wish you the best and safest travels on your next getaway!
Our stay here turned out to be a big disappointment. We chose this location because it was centrally located to make it convenient for our children and their spouses to all drive about the same distance and because it offered a pontoon boat. The boat never happened and it was just a run around all week. While the lake was low, we watched others enjoying their boats during our entire stay. The property owner said the boat was stuck in the sand on the bottom and that he had a neighbor that was going to take care of it. There was a boat there that was floating freely. Had we known in advance that the boat was not going to be made available, we would have Brought our boat with us.
As for the house, it was dirty. Old fast food bags left under an upstairs bed. American cockroaches throughout the house. It had a giant bathtub, but there was no water hooked up to the tub. There was also a gas fireplace, but no gas was hooked up. The outside was junked up with stuff scattered everywhere.
While the lodging was subpar, we made the most out of it since that was the first time we'd all been together in years.
I would normally never leave a bad review, but it was really disappointing. If you have a couple of friends that just want to go fishing for a few days, it's an ok spot. (Bring your own boat), but this is NOT where you want to take your family.

Amy, I'm truly sorry you had this experience at the lake house. I am thankful you made the most of your family time together, that is good to see. We spoke about the boat docked at the property; it was not my boat and I am sorry this was frustrating to you. Mine is truly sitting on sand, as the pictures sent to you showed. I understand how disappointing it was not to have free use of the pontoon, but this situation was out of my control. I will absolutely address the cleanliness with our housekeeping team, as to be better prepared for future guests. And I will look into the other items you mentioned, thank you for bringing them to my attention. I hope nothing but the best for you and your family in your future getaways.
We stayed at this property last summer, so we wanted to do it again this summer. My family and I are glad we did, and everyone had a blast! We plan to do the it again next year too. Trevor and Ambie are very responsive if they are needed. Everything was great!
This is a super owner and super property. Plenty of room and owner was very accommodating. Once the owner completes a little maintenance on dock, this will be one of the finest properties on the lake! Will definitely stay here again!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for your honest review. I will continue to make improvements to the home and dock. Thank you for taking great care of the lake house and would welcome you back anytime!
This property has the most beautiful view of the lake. A large screened in porch is a great place to see the view. The house has plenty of room for a lot of people. Each room is well kept and has some interesting items to see. Most time is out side in the very large yard that is lake side. Wonderful trees to sit under and a cool breeze comes across the lake. Perfect place to bring your boat to. This is a great place to get away to.
