House was clean and comfortable.We had everything we needed for cooking . We enjoyed using the pool table and the board games . We also used the outside dock for fishing and enjoyed playing around the water with kayaks. Great family gathering .
Our family stayed here for our oldest daughterās Clemson graduation and had a wonderful time. Communication with host was great and he was very accommodating, going above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! Kids enjoyed the pool table and of course the dock and the lake. It was nice to have towels provided for swimming. Screen porch was perfect spot to sit and enjoy our morning coffee. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of space for our family, and plenty of parking space also for a few of our daughterās friends who came to visit also. Close to Clemson and also Seneca for groceries. We would definitely love to stay here again!
This cute little lake house was perfect for our family of 5. Each room had 2 beds ( no tvs), but we were so tired from fishing and kayaking that sleep was easy. Screened porch was great for the occasional rain that passed through. Sheets and house was clean and kitchen had basic utensils for use. Just be ready to make a trek to and from the dock as the hill was pretty steep. The area was nice and quiet with very little boats passing through. Although we were there in April, we only saw a few jet skis and small boat. Perfect for that weekend getaway.

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.
Lake houses that have a flat walk to the dock topically don't have good water depth.
Our concrete path to the dock has a mild slope and we have good water depth at the dock during full pool of the lake.
We also are close to the Lake channel which allows us to move our dock to deeper water when other people can't use their dock at all.
Everything about the experience was top notch. The host thought of everything that a place needs for comfort and enjoyment in a property. Also, the maintenance of the property was better than any other location we have stayed.
We came to Clemson to visit our son (Sr. @ Clemson) and attend the Clemson-SMU game. John & Terriās house was perfect - very clean and as advertised on VRBO. Great place to hangout and John quickly responded to all questions. I would recommend their house to anyone visiting the area.
We checked into this cozy home and were welcomed with a special gift from the owners. The owners thought of everything and it shows. It was a beautiful fall Clemson football weekend! we enjoyed our time on the dock relaxing and on the back porch drinking our coffee.
Exceptionally clean home with graciously stocked kitchen, super comfy beds, and plenty of room for everyone in the family room for movie nights. We loved the large dining room table which not only had enough room for all of us to enjoy our meals but also play the board games the host provided. The highlight of our trip was the pool table! What a fun space in the home! Unfortunately due to the rain we didnāt get out to the dock. The home was so comfy and so tastefully decorated that it truly felt like home- all the way to the beautiful Christmas tree in the family room! We absolutely would recommend this home! Thank you also to the lovely hosts for an unexpected little gift!
I loved this property! Everything was clean and in order. The owners were so kind and made sure everything was good for our family. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the dock it was perfect for renting a boat and fishing from the dock. Would definitely recommend staying here.
We stayed 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet location and the private lake dock. The concrete path to the dock was especially nice and our 2 pups had more fun than we did in the lake. Definitely recommended.
The house was perfect! Great screened in porch, beautiful view of lake from the house, comfortable couches and very comfortable beds! Owners were very on top of it and communication was quick and friendly. Highly recommend!
The lake house was roomy, comfortable, clean and well furnished. It was a great location for exploring the area and we really enjoyed being right in the lake.
We love our Lake House in Seneca so much that we really enjoy sharing it with others. It is very rewarding to get great feedback from guests on what a relaxing and fun stay they have had.
Why they chose this property
Love the peaceful and quiet location off the beaten path, but still only a short ride to Clemson and Seneca. It is nice to sit on the screened in porch with new rocking chairs overlooking the lake and the dock and drink your morning coffee.
What makes this property unique
Private relaxing setting. Great place to relax, unwind and spend time with family and friends. People have stayed for holidays, to visit and be close to their Clemson students, reunions, fishing tournaments, Clemson football games, girls weekends, guys weekends, to get away from the heat (Florida) to get away from the cold (northern states) and of course primarily for family vacations.
