We had a wonderful weekend at Lake Jocassee and couldn’t recommend this house more. The house itself felt spacious and beautifully kept, with a well-stocked kitchen that had everything we needed. The views are absolutely incredible — hard to beat waking up to that. The dock is fantastic and made getting out on the water easy. We appreciated the easy access to the property and the secure feeling the neighborhood had. A great vacation for a family, and we’d happily come back. Thank you to the hosts!

We had an incredible stay at this Jocassee lakehouse! The property is amazing, comfortable, and perfectly located right on the lake. The views are beautiful, and the sunsets from the house may be the best on Lake Jocassee.Our favorite moments were watching the sunset and swimming off the dock. The peaceful setting, clear water, and incredible scenery made this a truly special place to stay. We would highly recommend this property and hope to come back again.

Brian was a wonderful host. The house is an older lake home with views that have to be the best on the lake. The home can host multiple family members without feeling crowded. Brian makes sure that the home is stocked with essential items including spices and oils for cooking and lake towels and floats for use in the water. We cooked in each night and played board games after spending all our time out on the water. Lake Jocassee is a super special place. We loved that it felt remote…..and the blue green waters of the lake make it feel tropical. Thank you Brian and family for sharing your lake home with us!! We hope to be back!

It was the best view on the lake. Amazing views. Our family had the best time boating and floating. Having the dock to jump and boat from made it more special. You need to know the stairs are steep but well built.

Amazing Lake, Dock, House and Host

This is the best rental property available on Jocasssee. Brand new 2 story dock. Spectacular views from the Devils Fork side of the lake. Only 1.5 miles from the park and public boat ramps. Nothing could be better.

House met all of our needs. We really appreciated the comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and the sun room for dining. The boat dock was perfect and we loved having our boat on site. I missed the gate code listed on the top of the page, not in the directions but we figured it ok and Brian responded quickly too. Thanks!

Our family had a great stay at Brian’s house on Lake Jocassee. It’s the perfect base camp to explore the lake! The hosts were very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We spent most of our time on the wonderful dock swimming, paddle boarding, or just enjoying the view. We will definitely be back next year!

Lake Jocassee

This vacation at Lake Jocassee was wonderfully relaxing and beautiful. The home was an older home as shown in the pictures but do not let that mislead you - we have stayed in the fanciest of VRBO’s in Key West and other places but when at the lake we want a lake house and this fit the bill perfectly! The home is very comfortable - all bedding was great - we were all asleep by 9 pm after spending the day on the dock (which was spectacular) and in the water. We brought our jet ski and rented a pontoon boat for the week which gave us a lot of time to explore Jocassee. The kitchen was well equipped to handle all our cooking needs throughout the week. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for the perfect vacation on Lake Jocassee!

Beautiful Lake House

Be sure to read the PDF Brian sends, because he adds some awesome local information. The house: Big enough for our brood of all ages! There are lots of steps inside and outside, prepare your calves for that. It's worth it, though! We had some issues with the A/C, but Brian was quick to rectify the situation. The lake and dock: The dock and view was amazing! We brought our jet ski, but be prepared for choppy water at times if you plan to keep it at the dock. We also rented a pontoon from a local company. Plenty of room for the ski and the pontoon at their amazing dock. If you plan to bring your own boat, contact Brian first. It's a very tight fit getting to the house and he would be able to advise on storage. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home and making sure we were taken care of, Brian.
