3 Kayaks are available, 2) Adult Kayaks with fishing features and 1) Child Kayak.
Our place is a pet friendly house but there is a fee of $95 per pet, per stay (2 pets maximum). This is due to the extra cleaning it takes to clean up the pet hair and the cleaning service charges us extra for this.
We have security cameras for the protection of our house. Cameras are located outside the house mounted in front of the outside doors.
We do have the ability to accommodate large groups such as family reunions, corporate functions or fishing club tournaments by renting the 2 houses next to us, #1150252vb and #3685237, if all three houses are available.

Come relax in peace & quite, and have fun on the lake.

Parents weekend at Clemson

Beautiful property! House was well suited for our long weekend. It’s not too far of a drive into downtown Clemson and game day it only took about 40 minutes with traffic to get to our tailgate spot. The house was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The hosts were very gracious!

Great place for anything.

My family and I recently visited Clemson for our son’s Ring Ceremony. We came in from Friday to Monday. This place had so much to offer, we couldn’t do it all in the time we stayed. The host was great!!!!! Always there for questions, calls or just to give us permission to relax. Next time and there will be one; we will stay a week and take in all the home had to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin & Cris McDonald

Host profile image
We are a middle-aged couple with a 14 year old son. Kevin is originally from Montana and Cris from Texas. We live and work in the Greenville area and Love this area. We like the outdoors and enjoy various outdoor activities. We purchased this house in June of 2017 and planned from the start to make it a vacation rental. We Love this Home and plan to retire here in 8 years!

Why they chose this property

This is a quiet location. Not a lot of boat traffic and the neighborhood is very peaceful. The lake offers great fishing, boating, swimming and fun, fun, fun. New high-speed Wi-Fi and Internet became available and put icing on the cake.

What makes this property unique

When at the Lake House we feel secluded in a peaceful, natural environment ready to enjoy the lake life, grill our favorite meals and entertain family and friends, yet we are only 10 minutes from Seneca and 15 minutes from Clemson where we can enjoy urban entertainment, good restaurants and the Clemson Tigers.
We have the Best of Both Worlds.
