We loved staying at the lake house! We brought our 4 teenagers, and had a blast! The size was perfect for our family, and loved the large sofas, outdoor living areas, large dining table and the beautiful dock! We want to come back!

Loved our stay at The Good Life Lake House!!

We came to SC for a wedding and could not be happier with our choice of accommodations. The Good Life Lake House is a perfect name for this beautiful property. It has it all for a quiet, relaxing time away.

Stay to attend nearby family reunion

The moment we walked into the house, we were whisked away into a peaceful, serene environment with the most breathtaking views. Plus, the house was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Even the beds were incredibly comfortable - I slept so well! We absolutely loved our time at the lake house and cannot wait to return. We're already making plans for the next visit. Thanks, Laura for sharing your beautiful home!

The property was really nice (minus the bugs and spiders, but that comes with the area). It was difficult to connect with the owner through the vrbo site. We didn't receive our check in code until after the check in time. It was also difficult to use the TV given the poor phone signal and Wi-Fi connection. Overall, it was a good experience.

Diamond Hill Mine Trip

This place was perfect for our trip to a local mine (only 7 minutes away!). The host responded quickly with answers to my questions. The place was beautiful and perfect for two families with kids. The views of the lake from inside and outside of the house was spectacular. It had everything we needed to prepare dinner and plenty of storage for food. The dining table gave plenty of space for our group of 7. There was a little driveway to the back to easily load and unload coolers of food or groceries right into the downstairs kitchen area. It was too cold for swimming but the dock area was large and suitable for a large group to enjoy the water together. We would all like to stay here again on our next trip to Diamond Hill Mine.

Unbelievable hidden gem

The pictures for this wonderful home do not do this place justice. It is so much more than what you think it's going to be. We have stayed at many vacation homes and enjoyed them greatly. This was an outstanding "Experience". From the pampering setup of the master suite with an beautiful soaking tub and a shower enclosure that you wont want to leave to the tranquil porch off of the master suite that when you sit and observe all there is to see, you'll realize that time can really slow down. The kitchen was the type that makes you want to cook for everyone present. The lower porch off of the living room was perfect for watching people move about the lake with ease as well as the constant soft breeze that takes you to your happy place. This is one of those rare places that makes you realize that vacations are always too short and you cant wait to return to it as fast as possible. It's easy to understand why this little slice of Heaven is so popular. Once you've stayed here, you can't imagine staying anywhere else. We definately cant wait to return.

We stayed for two nights and absolutely loved this property! The lake views were beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing, and the home was very well equipped with everything we needed. We were in town for Anderson University graduation, so unfortunately we were not able to spend as much time at the property as we would have liked. We would definitely love to come back in the future and enjoy a longer stay. Highly recommend!

Beyond Expectations

Your beautiful lake house is so well appointed and comfortable that we enjoyed every aspect. The luxurious primary bedroom and bath and the beautiful views set this house apart. I enjoyed working in your lovely kitchen, which had everything we needed. The living areas, inside and out were inviting and comfortable. We had the best time. Thanks so much!

Super Fantastic Stay

We booked here because we wanted to be on a lake while checking out the local Crystal mine, Diamond Hill Mine. We ended up getting so much more then a house on a lake. The dock was a great place to relax and fish. I could not believe how warm the lake was for swimming after getting muddy and dirty at the mine. The neighbor has 4 of the cutest kittens that came over to play. My kids were in heaven. The house is so comfortable with all the amenities you can think of. The beds were so comfortable and that master bathroom was HUGE! We loved sitting outside on both of the porches. There are TVs everywhere. Honestly, the pictures don’t do this house justice. If you are looking for an escape from it all, this is the spot. We would most certainly return again.
