Quick getaway

The wife and I took our kayaks and had a great time on Lake Winyah. The house sits right on the lake so it’s very convenient. We caught so many fish. Pike, Walleye, Lg mouth bass, Sm mouth bass, bluegill, bullhead and a crappie. I literally made three casts off the dock and landed a 23” pike. We will be back

Cute and Clean…Beautiful Views

Newer place with great amenities close to town. Sat on back deck and dock to enjoy the views. Also, had fun fishing from the dock. Caught 4 different species in about an hour, including a decent Walleye from the dock.

Relaxing stay

My husband and I had a very relaxing vacation. The house very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We loved being on the lake and enjoyed fishing in our boat as well as off the dock, watching the activity on the lake and sitting by the fire in the evenings.
