Angela was very easy to work with and responds very quickly to messages. The house was beautiful and very clean with lots of room and fun for everybody. The view of the lake was lovely and relaxing. A heater was provided on the deck to enjoy the view even in colder weather. Awesome stay!

Prom Get together

We enjoyed the house and its amenities as we hosted multiple families to celebrate the senior class prom. The house was great, with everything we needed for cooking and enjoying the lake. Check-in was simple. Great location!

Fair Play - Graduation

I don't know that we will have a need to be meet or vacation in or near Fair Play, SC in the future, but if we do, we will definitely recommend and would stay here again. Large, well-appointed home. I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the property and its location.
