This is a beautiful home on the lake. All of the furniture is very comfy and the decor is top notch! One of the best properties I have ever found on VRBO. Supplies were plentiful, very peaceful location, and the outdoor fireplace and living space was spectacular! We had a wonderful time and will be returning as often as possible! Highly recommended!!

Thanksgiving at the Lake was Fabulous!
Beautiful, roomy, very well stocked, gorgeous lake views, fishing, shopping, Taccoa Falls, and so much more...We enjoyed Thanksgiving week, sandwiched between two Clemson football game weekends. Thanks so much to the owners for sharing their home with our family. We'd love to return.
I had high expectations for this rental having grown up on the other side of this lake and it met every expectation with flying colors and beyond. House is fantastic and lakefront/dock couldn't be better! Definitely a 5star property. Can't wait to come back!
This was our second stay at this property and live every part of it. House has been improved with even more living space and updated upper and lower decks for great outdoor living. House is spacious, modern, clean, and very inviting! I he dock is a great place to hang out with ample seating and great water to swim/float your day away. Will definitely be coming back for more summer time fun! Thanks for the great stay!
I don’t even know where to begin. This property is beautiful and just and pictured. The dock ladder was so convenient. Communication with the host was simple and answered promptly. I’d love to be there now!!!!!!!!

Fantastic home away from home!!
We spent 4 days and 3 nights here for an expo in Greenville and it was wonderful! The house is beautiful and roomy. The master bathroom is heavenly ❤❤ The deer passed through daily. We're from the country anyways so we see deer often but we got up early the first morning and was standing on the boat dock and the deer came walking down between us and the house and walked down by the lake so that was pretty cool. I could've sat on the swing on the boat dock for hours; it's a peaceful relaxing feeling like no other... We all truly enjoyed our stay here and I hate that it's over so soon!!
We highly recommend staying here! Very roomy and kid friendly. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Beds are comfy. Got to see lots of deer everyday which was awesome! We enjoyed fishing and swimming off dock! We took our own boat so got to do some tubing and site seeing. We will be going back next year. Only thing I would suggest is two trash bins. Other than that it is awesome!!!!
Beautiful home, comfortable and kid friendly. Loved morning coffee on the porch, watching the deer. Enjoyed the lake and fishing. Was a great week with our family!
We had a wonderful time here. The house is perfectly decorated, the beds were so comfortable. Watching the deer every morning on the screen porch over coffee was fabulous!! We caught a good bit of catfish and cooked them while we were there. I am ready to come and stay again!
We had the best time at your home. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. We saw tons of deer every morning and evening. Will definitely return.
This served as our family’s summer vacation spot this year and beat all our expectations! The property is even better in person, spacious, and well kept! We spent the week taking advantage of the dock and enjoying the sunshine. The kitchen is huge and accommodated our family of 8 perfectly. Host is incredible and very helpful responsive to any questions or needs that may arise. We will definitely consider visiting this site again! Thanks, Karen!

This is a FANTASTIC place if you have a family with little ones. So much room, inside and outside play area for the kids, infant equipped, a ton of room to gather in the kitchen. A great place and enough room for 2 families to share. We had a blast.
This is great property, exactly as advertised. Perfect for our blended family of three generations (one grand, two adults, four teens).
Only about 10 minutes on water to the marina to rent boat there, or about 5 minutes from the nearby State Park that also has boat put in.
Interior and exterior spaces were great and supported all of our eating/gaming/ relaxing activities. Nice swim off the dock and fantastic to float on some rafts as the dock is in a cove (not much boat traffic at all).
Gas grill worked great. Dishwasher was broken but I think has since been replaced. We didn't mind.
Communication was great.
Overall peaceful and fun. We will stay again!!
A wonderful kid friendly property with a lot to do! Choose between the beach or the dock for lake fun and the playground or vast lawn for kid fun. Such a wonderful space.
What a wonderful home, super clean, great location and the owners were easy to reach and so accommodating to our needs (even had fishing gear for us to use). We will definitely be back again.
The home was perfect and the lake is amazing. It's in a quiet cove and the water is about 8 ft deep at the dock. It's perfect for swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking. The home was perfect for our group. All the beds were comfy, the kitchen was very nice and had everything that we needed, and the bathrooms were very nice, especially the upstairs one. We all spent a ton of time on the screen porch too. We'll be coming back!
Very nice home and community. It was so nice to be greeted by nature, every time we looked out, the deer were everywhere! Thank you !

So much fun! The pictures do NOT give this house justice. It’s so beautiful and spacious. The kids loved all the room outside they had to play and all the fun on the lake.
We had a wonderful time. My husband was 20 minutes from where his mother lives in Toccoa and his tw1
The rental property was clean and had everything we needed. What more could you ask for!! The view was excellent from the screened-in porch and from the dock.
