Our family all came in town for Thanksgiving and we rented the house so we could all be together. The house was perfect. There was 11 of us and we had plenty of room. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was well supplied. The dining area was large enough so we could all get around the table. There are two gathering areas so plenty of space to sit and talk and play games. Each time we had a question there was a quick response. The driveway is a little steep but once you are there it feels like you are in a secluded Mtn cabin. We would definitely stay again!

REVIEW DETAIL
Our extended family had a great time at this beautiful lakefront home. Family ages ranged from 1 - 76, so this is not always easy. We had space for everyone, and the kitchen /eating area were a fun hangout. The oversized dock with seating was a huge bonus. The only things I would improve is an extra kitchen trash can, an extra outside trash can, and a bit of a better path down to the lake. But the effort was worth it! We had a ball, floating, swimming and jumping in to the lake! And the renovations to the house are great. Also appreciated are the kitchen necessities...containers, bags, a few spices... all in all, it was absolutely the experience we were hoping for. Thank you!

REVIEW DETAIL
This house was very comfortable to live in and easily fit our large family. There was a nice sized back yard for wiffle ball or other yard games. Although it was chilly the weekend we visited, the dock access was nice and we enjoyed some quiet time on the dock.

There was plenty of room for us to fit around the dining room table.

Our family is 5 couples, so having the 5 bedrooms and 5 baths was key! The house is close to Clemson, which was convenient and we actually found a park nearby with walking/running paths - another huge plus!

Finding the house is really tricky, so pay close attention to the directions from the host!

This was a great house for our party of 12. The driveway was a little tricky but it accommodated our vehicles and boat trailers. The house was clean and well maintained. We spent a lot of time on the dock...

The property had plenty of space for my large family to spread out and enjoy the beautiful home. The kitchen was a major plus, every utensil you could think of. The out back basketball court was great for my teenage boys.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
This was a lovely property that had great space inside and out. We had plenty of room to cook and just spread out inside with all the kids. The kitchen was so well stocked with all the pots and pans we could posssibly need. We also had plenty of patio and yard space, and we really liked that part of the yard was fenced to keep toddlers contained.The house was lovely, and so well maintained. And the bedding was crisp and clean. This property was top notch, and we would definitely stay here again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The lakefront retreat met all of our expectations and more. It was a perfect location to enjoy our Clemson football weekend with gorgeous views on the lake. Host was a pleasure to communicate with and the house was well equipped, clean, and very inviting with plenty of space. Beds were so comfortable and each room/ bathroom had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. The great weather allowed us to enjoy the porches every morning and we even dined outside one night. The hot tub was a hit with the teen children. We look forward to staying at this property again!
