Lakeside cabin
I fell in love with this place the moment I walked in the door. We stayed here because our son recently moved to the area. Everything you could possibly want or need is provided. We were going to take our son & his girlfriend out for dinner but we decided to stay in & grill. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking, & just hanging out on the back porch by the water. We will definitely stay here again. Such a fun & relaxing weekend.

Anniversary get away
We came for a weekend get away for our 30th anniversary-and this place was amazing! We chose it for its close location to our daughters, one at Clemson the other at UGA. Yet once we got here, we did not want to leave! What a true treasure! We will be back! Perfect for a couples get away, clean, easy to get to, very quiet, beautiful lake and everything you could want or need at the house! Loved it!

Mother daughter trip
We really liked the cabin. Everything was just as described. The property as exceptionly clean and neat and had everything we needed. I would suggest some blackout shades in the bedrooms and maybe a little firmer beds but otherwise it was very comfortable.

Beautiful place to stay
Beautiful cabin on lake. Wonderful place to stay and relax. The cabin decor is beautiful. Beds are super comfortable with nice linens. Cabin is well supplied. Host is super sweet. Mornings enjoyed sitting on back porch watching the ducks and drinking coffee. In the evenings family and I would enjoy the larger front porch. The fire pit and comfortable seating made it so nice to sit out. Even on the coldest nights.

So amazing
Everything about this place was above average. The property owner left a Happy Birthday card and snacks. Place was immaculate. Very charming home and decorated so cute. One of the patios overlooks the lake. So peaceful. We hiked several waterfalls, ate in local spots and saw an awesome tunnel. Drove to highlands and went shopping. We will definately be back. So much more left to explore
