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.

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 Kitchen appliances and cookware were old and outdated but functional.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.

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.

lovely secluded gateway

ugh, we just loved this place! The Lake is absolutely amazing. So many hiking trails around, we chased about 3-4 Waterfalls. Our dog had a grand time as well, we will be back!

Peace and quiet!

Very out of the way and quiet. Centrally located for the area. The provided canoe and use of the dock and lake added to the stay.

Rustic cabin on lake

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.

Outdoor fun

Great location for outdoor activities: hiking, walking, kayaking on a small beautiful lake. Even on site, owner was great and was not in the way at all.
