About this property

Robinson Lake Front Lodge on Lake Jocassee
This cozy mountain lodge sleeps 10 and is located directly on Lake Jocassee. The house includes a dock with a newly extended ramp and tie up for boats. Lake Jocassee is located in the upstate of South Carolina in a pristine mountain environment. With its crystal clear water and huge depths the lake is perfect for swimming, boating, skiing, fishing, and any other water activities you can imagine. The mountains are also a great place for hiking. There are a number of great hikes within a short drive from the house.

Located in Salem, SC this mountain home is a truly peaceful place for a retreat from the hustle and bustle of life. Great places to visit while you are in town include Highlands, NC (45 min from the house) and Cashiers, NC (25 minutes from the house). Guests who will be flying in may want to consider airports in Greenville, SC (about 1.5 hours away), Atlanta, GA or Charlotte, NC (both about 2.5 hours away), or Ashville, NC (about 1.5 hours away).

The house was built in 1984 by Bill Robinson and his son Drew and has been in the family ever since. Each room has a different wood paneling. The main room is wormy chestnut, while the bedrooms are oak, pine, cypress, and ash. The house will sleep 10 in beds but there are also 3 comfortable sofas. No linens (sheets or towels) are provided. You will need to bring all the linens that you needs for your stay.

Access to the Water:
The house is directly on the water. There is a floating dock with a ladder and full tie-up for boats. A new ramp was recently installed to allow continuous access to the water regardless of the water level. Floats or tubes for lounging in the water are great items to pack because the water is deep at the dock.

This is a great house for a boat. If you don’t bring your own they are available for rent. Pontoon boats are great for cruising the lakes, ski boats are great if you enjoy water sports, and kayaks and canoes are perfect for exploring nearby waterfalls and rivers that feed the lake. Maps and boat rentals are available at the store at Devils Fork (at the boat landing) or on their website. There are no gas pumps on the lake, so you must either take your boat out of the lake to gas it up, or you can bring your own gas containers that you can fill up and carry to your boat.

Remote and Remarkable

This was our second stay at the Robinson Lake Front Lodge. (It would have been the 3rd if it had been available when we wanted it last year.) There is nothing else quite like it. Peaceful, quiet, and serene lodging on the most charming lake in the southeast. I was there with my wife, our adult son and daughter-in-law, and other family members. The 800sf covered front and side porch with views of lake and mountains, cushioned porch swing, other comfortable lounging, small tables, and a large dining table is the centerpiece of this property. While there is a huge dining table inside, we ate every meal outside on the porch. We trekked in all the food and drink we needed for our 8-night stay as the closest store is a bit of a drive. Only using our cars occasionally to explore the area, or go for a hike. The large dock, with another porch swing, is also a great place to hang out. Go swimming, paddle boarding, or boating from the dock. The stairs down to the dock are rough and need improvement. The host, David, was very accessible and helpful. We spent a lot of quality time together and we all felt this was one of the best family vacations ever.

Retirement week

I don't know of a better water access view in South Carolina. Thanks David for a wonderful week and setting up our engagement at the cabin 33 years ago.

Rustic and relaxing

Our family had a wonderful family vacation at Lake Jocassee in the Robinson lodge. The porch and views are outstanding. Beautiful new dock was a treat and was used daily with our jet skis and rented boat. Got a good workout daily climbing the 55 stairs from the dock to the house but I need it. Only two things would have made it absolutely perfect - two jet ski ramps on the dock and a marina on the lake.

Relaxing with adventure!

Throughly enjoyed our week! We had 6 adults and 5 kids and did not feel cramped. The porch and dock add a lot of living space. We brought our boat that we put in at devils Fork State Park and the park allowed us to leave our truck and trailer in their parking lot for the week. We will hopefully be back!
