Rough start
It was very difficult to get instructions on how to get into the property, the management company was useless. We called VRBO directly and got a clear and concise answer. The weekend turned out great! We hiked all around, swam a lot and hung out on the porch with a superb view of the lake.

Peaceful Lake View
If you are looking for a quiet getaway overlooking a lake in the South Carolina mountains, this place will suit you well. Had coffee on the front deck looking out at the lake each morning, listening to the Hooded Warbler singing away. We had a nice paddle around the lake in the canoe, and John (owner who was in the next door of the duplex) told us how to find the pretty little waterfall that feeds the lake.

Very secluded
Nice place to stay. Could be cleaner and would have been nice to know the shower didn’t work. But bath tub was clean so bath it was. Nice place but could use a little updating and better cleaning staff. Overall nice quiet stay!

Perfect for a distraction-free, unplugged get-away
A very quiet setting right under a canopy of trees and a stone’s throw from the lake. If you’re looking to unplug from the high-paced distractions of life, this remote rental is wonderful. They do have internet, so you don’t have to be completely off the grid. The little local town is only about 10mins away which is convenient, and has some decent restaurants. As the listing states, it’s definitely not for families with children under 5. But great for a couple’s get-away.

Absolute Relaxation!
I chose this property because I was looking for somewhere with a large,covered porch and a water view. This trip was all about rest and relaxation. That is exactly what I got. My mother and I arrived around 4pm on Friday and we did not leave the house until we left for home on Sunday morning. It was so peaceful! No noise from highways. No people. If you are looking for a place to take a “mental health break,” this place is perfect for it. We have already decided we will go back!

Bare Essentials
The owner of this place we met. He’s nice but here’s my take on this. If you’re interested in a good no frills base station to drop in and hike the nearby trails and see waterfalls, this place will do. Access to the lake is strenuous. Steep decline/incline. Kitchen appliances and cookware were old and outdated but functional. Small portable gas grill cooked 2 steaks at a time(bring your own screw on propane canister?). On the upside, peaceful, quiet ( when there’s no contractors in the way) and a great rocking chair porch overlooking the woods below. Bed were comfortable. *limited cell phone coverage and very few and basic tv channels(if you have a child it could be of importance). There’s is a DVD player. Around 10 miles round trip to grocery stores/restaurants.

This is an excellent place to REST! Very quiet, trees are gorgeous and the lake is lovely. We slept so good and we will be back again! Nearby hiking was excellent, not too steep and not too easy...just right for us anyway!

Our 25th anniversary getaway
This cottage was "back to nature" in that we felt like we were the only one on the lake. It was quiet, had everything we needed, and a little we didn't know we needed. This is a place we wood love to come back to again.

Beautiful Area
The area is absolutely beautiful. The host is very accommodating. I am a clean FREAK - and with the current pandemic - I am overly critical of cleanliness. We stayed, but it did not meet my standards for cleanliness.

Disappointed
I’m not even sure where to begin, the road into this location is not the best, certainly did not look like a cabin. But what bothered me the most is what poor condition the property was in. The linoleum in the bathroom was worn through, I was afraid the faucets were going to fall off the tub. I really don’t think the oven had ever, ever been cleaned. The towels were hard as rocks. This might be a place where a bunch of fishermen might crash for a few nights, But certainly not a husband and wife team. Mislead about the Internet, we probably had four or five channels on the TV. I had no service on my iPhone. We left a day early because I couldn’t stand the thoughts of spending another night there.

Privacy at it's best
Since traveling has become an issue in 2020, we were looking for a quiet place that we could respectfully social distance and still enjoy the beauty of our country. Since we needed to stay within a days drive, this was perfect. We saw so many beautiful waterfalls, hiked the trails, and enjoyed the peace and somewhat cooler temperatures of the mountains.
