The house was most attractive and our host left us with a box of chocolates and a welcome note. The Clemson themed game room and fishing from the dock was especially fun for the kids!

Even Better Than the Pictures! – Peaceful, Fun, and Fully Stocked

We stayed for 7 days and had an absolutely fabulous time! The property was even more beautiful than the pictures, and the house had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was fully stocked and easy to navigate, and the beds were very comfortable. We had a great time as a family enjoying the basketball hoop and pool table, and the dock was a perfect spot to relax. The home is located on a quiet part of the lake, so we didn’t hear boat traffic around the clock, which made it even more peaceful. The owners were incredibly easy to communicate with and made everything seamless. Highly recommend!

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.
