Hidden Gem

This place was perfect for our long weekend Spring Break with our daughter and her friend. Plenty of space to spread out. The paddle boards and private dock were well used. We did a boat tour of Jocassee out of Devils Fork State Park which was less than 10 minutes away. We enjoyed the quiet, away from our usual city sounds. We would recommend this place for sure!

Comfortable home on quiet cove of Lake Keowee

Nice home with lots of room to spread out - large sunroom with TV, beautiful screened porch with comfortable seating and TV, and adequate living room for a small group. Dining table seats eight. Upstairs there are two large bunk rooms and a king bedroom but only one bathroom. Nice dock and porch for watching sunset. Enjoyed the fire pit.

Our most wonderful time of the year

Our family has chosen "Trinity Cove" for our yearly get-together location. This location is our place of rest. We enjoyed sleeping in, having breakfast on the porch, fishing, jumping off the dock, playing in the water, & wrapping up the evening with smores around the fire. Thank you for creating a clean environment and allowing us to visit!

Long weekend getaway

My adult kids twenty to 24 and my husband and I so enjoyed this home! We played on Lake Keowee 2 days then Lake Jocassee a day. Absolutely awesome. The home spectacular. Felt like I was in a tree house out on screened in porch overlooking the lake. Then walk down to shore get on our boat and head out for Great Lake days. Everything at your fingertips! Will be back soon!

The best day of my life!

Dream come true family vacation with my two girls and 8 grandchildren. Lost track of the hugs and “grandma, this is the best day of my life”. House has perfect layout and well equipped with everything you need. Gorgeous setting, quiet cove for swimming, paddle boarding. Eight year old grandson caught 2 1/2 lb catfish from the dock! Going to be talking about this vacation for years to come.

Our week on Lake Keowee

This place was perfect! My family had a blast and already asked can we go back next year! The cove is so beautiful and we loved that you really cant see other houses or people. The kids lived on the dock the entire week lol they must of jumped in over a thousand times! They have some of the nicest stairs to get in and out of the water safely! The kids and adults loved the floating lily pad. We also enjoyed the paddle boards. The house was well equipped, plenty of beds, tons of room, great spaces to gather and spend time as a family. Lake Jocassee is only a 5 minute drive. Would highly recommend this place! Owner was great too! easy to get in touch with and quick communication.

A wonderful summer trip to Lake Keowee!

We had a wonderful stay, the lake home exceeded our expectations. The nearly private cove was a wonderful place for our family to enjoy swimming, fishing and other lake activities. This property is also super close to Lake Jocasse, we spent a day boating, swimming in waterfalls and tubing. A great lake home, great location an and a responsive owner made us feel extra comfortable. We highly recommend this lake home!

Easter weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at the lake. The house is great with plenty of room. The kitchen is alitlle tight but doable. The walk down the steep hill to the lake is challenging but worth it! Private cove! We rented a great pontoon and enjoyed touring the lake. Such a beautiful weekend and just what was needed! Would stay again!

Wonderful place for family visits

We came into town for an aunts celebration of life memorial. Even though this property was a littler further away, I loved the views and booked it anyway. This was fantastic for a small family gathering after the service. We were able to have some of the cousins come for a visit and had plenty of space. We didn't have near as many stay at the house as we had planned, but had plenty of space. The host was fantastic to communicate with. Ohhhh and the waterfalls that was in the neighborhood that we were able to do a short hike to. Absolutely stunning.

Beautiful home for the whole Family!

What a wonderful vacation! The house had more than enough room for the whole family. We had 9 children and 4 adults. The hosts were so prepared and communicative. They stocked the house with everything that we needed and provided plenty of towels and blankets. The house is filled with character and very accommodating for children! Waking up to the most scenic views, kayaking, fishing off the dock, grilling, playing games; the list goes on. I do wish I had the decor blankets for the canopy bed since the pictures looked so beautiful, but the bed was so soft and comfortable. We drove all the way from Florida and were exhausted when we arrived. Thankfully the owners were kind enough to let us have an early check in and a late checkout! We are actively on our way back home now and we are already talking about coming back next year😄 Excellent experience and more family memories, we are so grateful!!

Great quick weekend trip to lake.

Kinda hard to get to, but once in, great older home with character. We enjoyed the screen porch and private dock. The walk down to lake can be tough but the quiet and serene lake makes it worthwhile. Our small group enjoyed our stay and was very comfortable while in the home. Shawn from Fletcher NC

Gorgeous Property!

I booked this cabin for my wife and I's 15 year anniversary. What a great choice! The view of the lake was beautiful. We stayed in late October and the entire surrounding area was breathtaking. The trees were bright and colorful and the reds and oranges really popped against the blue-green water of the lake. We went kayaking on Lake Jocassee and found a waterfall! We also went hiking to see a second waterfall. The cabin itself was excellent with a screened porch AND a sun room. The primary bed was comfortable and the shower was also nice. We loved building a fire in the fire pit and talking for hours. Pat was communicative and seemed concerned for our comfort during our stay. You can't go wrong renting this one!
