Previous reviews GUEST NAME Jeff & Kathy REVIEW SOURCE Airbnb TRIP DATE 2021-11-24 RATING 5 (based on 1-5 stars) REVIEW DETAIL Our family all came in town for Thanksgiving and we rented the house so we could all be together. The house was perfect. There was 11 of us and we had plenty of room. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was well supplied. The dining area was large enough so we could all get around the table. There are two gathering areas so plenty of space to sit and talk and play games. Each time we had a question there was a quick response. The driveway is a little steep but once you are there it feels like you are in a secluded Mtn cabin. We would definitely stay again!
GUEST NAME Rachel REVIEW SOURCE Website TRIP DATE 2021-07-24 REVIEW SUMMARY Great Family Reunion RATING 4 (based on 1-5 stars) REVIEW DETAIL Our extended family had a great time at this beautiful lakefront home. Family ages ranged from 1 - 76, so this is not always easy. We had space for everyone, and the kitchen /eating area were a fun hangout. The oversized dock with seating was a huge bonus. The only things I would improve is an extra kitchen trash can, an extra outside trash can, and a bit of a better path down to the lake. But the effort was worth it! We had a ball, floating, swimming and jumping in to the lake! And the renovations to the house are great. Also appreciated are the kitchen necessities...containers, bags, a few spices... all in all, it was absolutely the experience we were hoping for. Thank you!

GUEST NAME Travis REVIEW SOURCE Airbnb TRIP DATE 2021-06-10 REVIEW SUMMARY RATING 5 (based on 1-5 stars) REVIEW DETAIL Awesome experience! GUEST NAME Karen REVIEW SOURCE Airbnb TRIP DATE 2021-05-06 REVIEW SUMMARY RATING 4 (based on 1-5 stars) REVIEW DETAIL This house was very comfortable to live in and easily fit our large family. There was a nice sized back yard for wiffle ball or other yard games. Although it was chilly the weekend we visited, the dock access was nice and we enjoyed some quiet time on the dock.
There was plenty of room for us to fit around the dining room table.
Our family is 5 couples, so having the 5 bedrooms and 5 baths was key! The house is close to Clemson, which was convenient and we actually found a park nearby with walking/running paths - another huge plus!
Finding the house is really tricky, so pay close attention to the directions from the host!
GUEST NAME Kelvin REVIEW SOURCE Airbnb TRIP DATE 2020-12-24 REVIEW SUMMARY RATING 5 (based on 1-5 stars) REVIEW DETAIL The house was amazing and very comfortable. Loved the dock on the lake, loved the privacy of it being tucked away.
GUEST NAME Misty J. REVIEW SOURCE HomeAway TRIP DATE 2020-09-18 REVIEW SUMMARY Lake house RATING 5 (based on 1-5 stars) REVIEW DETAIL This was a great house for our party of 12. The driveway was a little tricky but it accommodated our vehicles and boat trailers. The house was clean and well maintained. We spent a lot of time on the dock...

The property had plenty of space for my large family to spread out and enjoy the beautiful home. The kitchen was a major plus, every utensil you could think of. The out back basketball court was great for my teenage boys.
The house is very spacious and a great layout. The location is perfect. The kids enjoyed the arcade games and the basketball. We had a great time. We hope to come back soon.
Host was very responsive to communication
Home was well furnished, fully stocked with everything needed for our stay. The home was very clean and the proximity was very close to the lake. Our family enjoyed our stay.
The property is immaculate and ideally located within miles of everything, yet the property is extremely private. The home is spacious, stocked, and adorable! We will be staying again!
House fit all our needs. In a remote location, but very close to stores, restaurants and short ride to Clemson. Hosts were great as well and we had no issues with house.
We loved our time at this property!
Very central to many this in the upstate!
Great communication with the host. Easy to check in!
We very likely will be back!
This was a great alternate to my groups original plans to visit WNC which were unexpectedly changed by Helene. We had a great time on the property as well as visiting Greenville. The endless amenities kept us entertained throughout our stay and we grew closer as friends. Truly an amazing property.
Beautiful house and property! We spent Thanksgiving here with family and kids had a blast running around the property and fishing from the dock. House was well stocked with all the items we needed for a big meal.
Property was beautiful and spacious. Detailed information about the property and amenities were spot on! John and Sari were exceptional hosts - going above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate our group, as well as making sure our trip was memorable! We will definitely be back!
This house is amazing. The kitchen is well stocked with many extras. The kitchen is large and easy. There are many rooms in which to gather, and our group loved that. The back porch is big and inviting. We loved the old farm table. The bathrooms are new, with lots of high quality towels and other extras. Highly recommend!!!
This was an amazing place, only minutes from everything!! So clean, well stocked, kids absolutely loved the game room!! House and location are exactly as advertised and so much more!! Great communication from John and Sari. We may very well be making this a yearly tradition!! So peaceful and beautiful!!
Fantastic property in a quiet area yet still close enough to downtown. Kids had an excellent time on the dock, in the swing, and on the kayaks exploring. Rented boats a couple days via Boatsetter and went tubing down the Saluda River. Downstairs kept the kids occupied while the adults enjoyed drinks upstairs. Really couldn't ask for more...a great multi-family summer vacation!
I truly can not say enough good and wonderful things about this trip!!! We were truly astonished at how beautiful the house is. The master bedroom is truly something to behold. Incredibly clean, well-stocked and communicative and flexible with us as guests—I can not recommend highly enough! House was large enough for seventeen of us to stay comfortably including four small kids.
Home and property are beautiful, quiet and relaxing. Indoor had ample space for everyone to spread out. Kitchen is well stocked with essential equipment and spices. We celebrated our grandsons birthday with the WHOLE family and had a wonderful time. thank you for sharing your wonderful space with us!
The pictures don’t do it justice! It is a clean & modern escape on a very secluded plot of land. We enjoyed our privacy but also the closeness to restaurants, grocery stores, golf courses, & the like. There were 13 of us & we were all more than comfortable. Truly the perfect getaway. We will be back again!
This house is set up for family fun. We loved the basement with all the gaming , the air hockey table, mini pool table , and arcade games. There is a basketball goal out back and a hot tub we all enjoyed. The dock is great for swimming and fishing . We rented a boat nearby and enjoyed the beauty of the lake. The house is updated , clean , and well stocked. We will be back !
This property is everything we could have hoped it would be ... a well stocked gourmet kitchen, 3 separate "living" areas, both indoor and back porch dining, lake views and breezes ... not to mention 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms gave everyone plenty of room to relax and do their own thing.
AND THE LAKE ... we brought our boat and took it out twice, but one day everyone just relaxed on the dock, swimming and floating the day away.
The hosts here have thought of everything. The entire family is ready to book again!
Wonderful house for an extended family get together and a Clemson game!
This house was the perfect getaway for 4 extended families to gather and watch the Clemson game together.
Spacious house, perfectly appointed (kitchen, lake gear, game room, bathroom linens etc) we didn’t go wanting for a thing.
We had a question about the Garbage disposal and our host was immediately available and helpful to answer all questions.
Everyone appreciated the nice hot tub after a chilly game day. Thank you! Definitely recommend A+++
Wow! The home, property, dock and lake were incredible! Our family of 14 had our best ever annual family gathering. It was a Perfect four night stay.
It was unanimous, we all want to come back next summer.
Owner is friendly and goes out of his way to make sure everything is great and makes you feel like it is your home for your stay!
Travis the maintenance fellow is likewise awesome. We thought we had a problem night one with the frig and he was ready to replace it. We told him, we will wait until morning and see if it was just our loading it up—it was. No problems after it caught up.
Couldn’t recommend this place any higher.
We had a fantastic Birthday weekend / men’s group retreat at this beautiful 5-acre lakefront private retreat. The house was perfect for our group of 6, with spacious accommodations and a well-equipped kitchen that made meal preparation easy.
The primary suite on the top floor was huge, and the lower level offered endless entertainment with the game room, including arcade games, foosball, air hockey, bumper pool, and board games. We enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, and we brought our SeaDoo to the private dock. The secluded setting was ideal for relaxation. We saw many Herons in the private cove.
Overall, this retreat exceeded our expectations. It’s well-maintained, beautifully renovated, and offers all the comforts of home in a stunning lakefront setting. Highly recommended for any group looking for a perfect getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
We had a wonderful stay! Sari was always very responsive and very accommodating to whenever we had questions. We had 8 adults ranging from age 20-48, and three children ages 3,3, and 6… and we definitely all had plenty of personal space. This house has anything and everything you could possibly need: Linens, towels, beach towels Toilet paper (no need to bring your own) Shampoo, Conditioner, Body wash, Hand soapAll Laundry supplies Kitchen has EVERYTHING, even coffee podsStep stool in the laundry room if you need to get into your cargo carrier Plenty of fans and extra blankets, even though the house stayed perfectly regulated with the temp we set Board games/Life jackets Everything was spotless and perfectly thought out. Outdoor patio was perfect for our family board game each night. *I would like to see added to the listing that the driveway is a hill with two S curves. We could not get our boat trailer up to the house after docking the boat. That was a minor detail and we stored it elsewhere after seeing the driveway, and it definitely would not hamper us staying there again. I would highly recommend Sari’s house to anyone needing a place to stay. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here!
