5 bdrm Lakefront Home-private lake! Accommodates 2-15 guests, great fishing too.

Freshly painted and fully furnished with comfortable beds and linens, this lakefront home is on private Whitewater Lake. Located at the Gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and all the Upstate of South Carolina offers.
Bring the entire family, this home is great for multi generations, there are two separate family areas. Downstairs, we have a huge private suite that has a king bed, bunkbeds- twin, fullbed, and a trundle, so this spacious room sleeps up to six. The downstairs bathroom is newly remodeled and has an easy access shower.
Upstairs is the master suite with a king bed and a private spa like bathroom🛀 with a jetted 2-person tub and a separate tiled shower. There are also three additional private bedrooms, 2 containing queen beds, and one with a king bed, and all share a completely remodeled full bathroom with a oversized shower.
This large home has many areas where you can get away and relax privately, while still enjoying friends and family.
The spectacular lake front is enjoyed with this 5 bedroom 3 full bath home on private Whitewater Lake. Boasting 150 ft of lakeshore, solid bottom footing around the dock area, tons of porches and decks, and an easy sloped walk down to the oversized dock, this home is designed for the best in outdoor fun. This home does not have steep, multiple stairways to get to the lake, unlike other large homes on the lakes here.
This lake does not allow jetskis, so it is quiet and relaxing, and being a private lake, there is no public access, so it is never crowded.
The main upstairs level features a big sun porch for winter, with an electric fireplace, and an additional screen porch for relaxing without worries. The sunroom is attached to a cozy bedroom with a king-size bed and another electric fireplace to add warmth and a romantic feel.
The screen porch is an "adults only" retreat with comfortable furniture and a dart board 🎯for adult fun. This is attached to the "Lake " bedroom with a queen bed. There are also full laundry facilities located upstairs.
The terrace or downstairs level contains the large open living and dining area, with gas fireplace and picture windows that look out onto the back deck and down to the water.
The kitchen is updated and contains new stainless steel appliances, including convection oven, quartz countertops, pantry, and tons of room for storage. It is very well stocked for the chef in your family. 🍽
Outside, you'll find a large patio area that flows into a deck that has more than enough seating for everyone in your party, including 2 dining tables; and looks out over the manicured yard to the water only a few steps away. 🏊‍♀️

Whitewater Lake is awesome

This lake house is perfect for large families. We had a view of the lake from nearly every room in the house. There were tons of extra towels and blankets. The kitchen had all the cookware and dishes we needed. Check-in was a breeze and checkout was simple. We truly felt at home here and cannot wait to return.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Whitewater Lake was the most peaceful and beautiful lake. Our kids had a blast on kayaks and paddle boards. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We made homemade ice cream and played ladder golf. Sandra was awesome with all information needed. We had booked this house last year and had to cancel because my husband had Leukemia which led to a stem cell transplant. We were very happy to be able to make this trip with our parents and kids this summer! Thank you Matter Family for sharing your house with us!

Spring break vacation

This is our 3rd stay at this house. My granddaughter who is 5 when asked where she would like to go, immediately yelled "the lake house"! I messaged the host Sandra and their lake house was available. The house has been spotless each visit. Sandra the host provides everything one could need for the lake. Bath needs, beach towels, cooking supplies, grill, kayaks, paddle boat, outdoor games and indoor games. We had a blast just sitting around table with family playing phase 10. I know if you like the lake you will love this place!!

We were there with our 3 children, two of their spouses. And five grand children from the ages between 4 and 14 and it has absolutely amazing. We fished, kayaked and splashed and played. Had a 5 year old that was afraid to jump in the water, but was jumping like a pro by the time we left! Plenty of space in Living room for pizza and movie night! Close to larger lakes to take out a pontoon! Could not have asked for a better trip! Will be getting in touch about next year! thanks for the memories!!
