About this property

Jocassee Hideaway on Lake Jocassee - 4BR/3BA home with panoramic lake view

Jocassee Hideaway is a lakefront cabin where you can enjoy one of the most pristine lakes in the country with a 95% protected shoreline of national parks and conservation protected land. Lake Jocassee is set in the Jocassee Gorges region on the border of South and North Carolina. It is a 7500 acre 350 ft deep lake within a unique wilderness area with miles of hiking trails, wildlife such as bear, turkey, bobcat, deer, eagles, the list goes on. Jocassee has some of the best fishing in the Southeast and is a lake that watersports lovers dream of where there are so few boats that open water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing are awesome. Explore waterfalls with boulders the size of houses, vertical cliffs, hidden coves, sandy beaches, and water that stays cool even during the peak of summer.

This 4BR/3B log cabin sits on one of the few lots with access to the lake with no stairs, just a gentle grade from the house to the dock (200 feet). The 2500 sqft home has 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths with a main level and a loft level living room for plenty of room to spread out and relax.

We provide all bed linens, bath towels/hand towels/wash cloths, and trash service (up to six bags which is all the cleaning staff can handle). We provide dish detergents, laundry detergents, cleaning sponges, and basic soaps in all baths.

We now provide high speed Starlink internet with speeds ranging between 50 and 150 mbps with unlimited bandwidth which now allows guests the ability to stay and work remotely. The Starlink system is on track to be upgraded to gigabit speeds as more satellites are deployed over the coming months and years.

The refurbished dock floats in deep water and provides a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. It has a single covered 10'x24' slip for a boat and a swim platform with tie-off cleats for boats or jet skis. The dock also includes a 2 man canoe for your use while our guest.

The house wraparound porch has several Adirondack chairs and a swing, outdoor dining, and gas grill. The kitchen is fully stocked and has updated appliances and granite countertops. The dining room has seating for 10 with a side table seating 4. The living room has a wood burning stove, leather sectional sofa, and 55" TV with Dish Network and DVD. HVAC, plumbing, and electric have all been updated. There is a large stone fire pit with bench seating and a 16'x16' deck between the cabin and the dock with a picnic table that seats 10+ and rocking chairs for relaxing while overlooking the lake.

Lake Jocassee has spectacular water and mountain views with many waterfalls to enjoy, with Whitewater Falls, Thompson Falls, and Wright Falls (a bridal veil falls) nearby. Boat entry is at Devil's Fork State Park which has 3 boat ramps, a beach, and water toy rentals. Several boat and watercraft rental companies are available that service the lake and include lake tours and scuba diving.

Lakeside Oasis
The cabin was exactly as advertised, and perfect for our weekend getaway! Wraparound deck was perfect for morning coffee, the house was clean and organized while fully stocked for everything we needed. Fall foliage was beautiful in November! The best weekend spot no matter what time of year, and thanks to Craig for being so responsive and helpful.

Nice mtn getaway
Great location with a rare lakefront property on beautiful Jocassee. Neighborhood road and driveway are super narrow with steep drops on the sides - go slowly. Definitely make use of boat trailer storage solutions given by the owner - I would not want to tow anything down that driveway. Walk to dock was not bad, but lots of loose rocks and big acorns - don’t recommend for elderly folks. House was as listed and communication with owner was timely and helpful. Great central location to visit waterfalls and explore Cashiers or Highlands, etc.
