getaway at the lake

We had a perfect long weekend. The dogs loved the yard, the house met all of our needs and the proximity to the lake was awesome. We couldn't have asked for better weather or the convenience and comfort of the house. When we got off the lake tired and ready to go home and cook dinner, we had everything we needed right there. Thank you so much John.

We had a great stay at Jocassee. House was clean, quiet, and super close to the boat ramps at Lake Jocassee. There was plenty of room for our boat. We even saw a mama bear and her cubs. That was a special treat! We will be back. Lake Jocassee has quickly become our favorite lake!

Perfect location!

This location is perfect for Lake Jocassee access, it’s soo close!! Plenty of room to park a boat and the driveway wasn’t steep. We had a great time, the house is comfortable and has everything you need. The most helpful amenities for me were the coffee filters and washer/dryer/detergent!! We had two families with kids and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. Huge dining table for us all to dine at together. The host is very accessible and responsive. Another year of great family memories made at Maplecrest!

Convenient location

This house is in a great location to be able to access both Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee. It was nice, clean, and private. I loved that it had a fenced in front yard. Appliances are dated but all in working condition. It had everything we needed but I did miss having my Keurig (no big deal). There was not any WiFi but we did have cell service. The owner was very accessible for questions. I would rent here again next time we come back.

Cute home

Everything you need (except no WiFi). Described as 4 bedrooms, but 1 bedroom did not have a closet & the other bedroom was more of a sleeping area in the basement. My 81 year old dad actually loved the basement area & claimed that as his “man cave”. The house itself was taken care of. Master bath had an adorable hand-painted mural & we loved the stained glass throughout the home. We also hung out on the screened in porch a LOT. The only downfall was the location. The street had mostly mobile homes & run down houses & a vacant house next door with broken out windows, etc. However, with the house being on almost 2 acres, you couldn’t see the neighboring houses.
