Everything about the experience was top notch. The host thought of everything that a place needs for comfort and enjoyment in a property. Also, the maintenance of the property was better than any other location we have stayed.
I loved this property! Everything was clean and in order. The owners were so kind and made sure everything was good for our family. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the dock it was perfect for renting a boat and fishing from the dock. Would definitely recommend staying here.
The lake house was roomy, comfortable, clean and well furnished. It was a great location for exploring the area and we really enjoyed being right in the lake.
The house was perfect! Great screened in porch, beautiful view of lake from the house, comfortable couches and very comfortable beds! Owners were very on top of it and communication was quick and friendly. Highly recommend!
Loved our stay. Very quiet but close enough to town. We had everything we needed and John was great! Very clean and nice upgrades! Looking forward to staying again!
This house was perfect for our weekend in Clemson. Close enough to town to get easily to game day activities but far enough away to have peace and quiet for enjoying family. I highly recommend this place for families and friends
Took a weekend fishing trip with group of friends. The house worked perfect with the double beds in each room. The place was clean, close to the water, and close to town. Owners were quick to respond with any questions we had. Highly recommend!
It is clear that the couple who owns/manages this property is dedicated to making your stay top-notch. The home has everything you need (and more), is well-organized, clean and comfortable. We recently returned from our second stay at this rental and have no doubt we will be back again. Thank you for making your home feel like a home-away-from-home for us!
Our family stayed at Anchors Down and we had a great, relaxing time. Property has a private feel and we enjoyed the screened porch. The house was clean, beds were comfortable. Good host communication.
Wonderful property Pros: very clean, everything seemed new and well taken care of, great appliances, house layout and rooms were accommodating for our party, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, nice dock to hangout on, great location because it is situated on a quiet inlet away from noise and party boats, hosts were very responsive.Cons: none that I can think of.
We were looking to get away to the lake for a few days and turned out perfect. Lake house was very comfortable, The Lake was very quite and private. The large screened in porch was nice to sit on and relax. Location is close to a lot of state parks which is also great. Highly recommend.
This is an exceptional property with all the comforts of home. The house is immaculate and so warm and inviting. The screened in back porch was our favorite spot for coffee in the morning or at night before bed. John and Terri are great hosts. They surprised us with a cake for graduation - so thoughtful! We will definitely be back!
We had a blast at this property! Communication was excellent, the house was comfy and well appointed, the amenities made the most of the lake, and all the little i’s were dotted, to boot. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Loved the location. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful setting. The pool table was a big hit with everyone. The house was beautiful and well equipped. Enjoyed our stay and would book again.
Stayed here for a long weekend while moving our daughter out of Clemson for the summer. Host communication was great and the property was very clean and comfortable! Thank you!
Everything was perfect. Pictures and listing are very accurate. Lots of information was provided about the local area and things to do. Our hosts checked on us after check in to make sure all was good with the house. We highly recommend and look forward to returning when it’s a little warmer so we can go in the lake.
Our family of 6 had such a wonderful stay! We loved the kayaks, canoe and pedal boat and were grateful for the abundance of life jackets and noodles. The house perfectly matched the description, and the host was communicative and kind. We hope to return next summer and make this our new summer tradition!
