Anniversary get away

We came for a weekend get away for our 30th anniversary-and this place was amazing! We chose it for its close location to our daughters, one at Clemson the other at UGA. Yet once we got here, we did not want to leave! What a true treasure! We will be back! Perfect for a couples get away, clean, easy to get to, very quiet, beautiful lake and everything you could want or need at the house! Loved it!

Mother daughter trip

We really liked the cabin. Everything was just as described. The property as exceptionly clean and neat and had everything we needed. I would suggest some blackout shades in the bedrooms and maybe a little firmer beds but otherwise it was very comfortable.
