Robinson Lake Front Lodge on Lake Jocassee

This home is spectacular. The location is remote and ideal. The views from the front porch make you feel like you are all alone on the lake. I cannot say enough about the owner who was responsive and very helpful. He went above and beyond to meet our needs and make us feel welcome. A great host!!!

We will definitely be back!

The lodge was better than expected. Very private, amazing setting, and beautiful views. We rented a pontoon boat for the weekend to explore this amazing lake. We will definitely be back.

This is a remarkable place that is both quiet and peaceful but is filled with tons of activities year round. If you love nature and beauty, this is the place for you. While kids can venture out , you can sit on a porch that will give you the most tranquil view of the lake. You can lay on the bed swing sinking into sleep or we had a cool spell and covered up with a blanket.

The home is well done and very comfortable . We will be back for sure.

Probably the best house on Jocassee. The bedrooms were fabulous and they were comfortable it felt like we were at home. I encourage people to bring sleeping bags b/c it can get very cold down stairs. But the views........ They were amazing. The porch swing is the best spot to see the lake in the whole house

Our group ranged form 14-85 years in age and we all had a blast! The house was just right for those who wanted to watch from the porch as well as those who did not come in off of the water until they were too tired to stay out there. The porch sitters had some difficulty choosing where to perch. The bed swing had fabulous views of the lake and encouraged snoozing, while the comfy lounge chairs at the corner gave one the option of the lake panorama or the dramatic hummingbird feeder. Trust me, it was tough. At times there were 15-20 hummers diving at one another for spots on the feeder! None of us have ever seen anything like it. Then there were the wild turkeys who stood in the lane and glared us down for interrupting their quiet, which could only be topped by the baby black bear scampering up the incline beside the road as fast as it could make it's roly poly self move. I suppose that some of you will want to hear about the more active side of things. The three 14 year old boys in our party would probably have fished the entire time had it not been for the irresistible tubing opportunity afforded by the vast, uncrowded and pristine lake. We all rode around the lake and searched out waterfalls until we lost count. The boys led us on a hike up the one near the upper dam, beautiful and inspiring. We were able to boat right up to several of the larger waterfalls, it is amazing for Lowcountry folk to feel so chilled out of doors in August.

The house felt very much like home. The 4 bedrooms were very comfy for couples and attractively decorated. The boys loved the "dorm room" with two twins and two sofas and a gimongus tv to play games and videos on when they were too tired to move. The kitchen is well appointed and part of a lovely great room with a huge stone fireplace. We were sad that we never go around to having a fire but by the time we came in for the night we just fell into bed. The boys were given permission to build a fire in the lakeside fire ring (that can be monitored from the porch) but never had enough energy.

I am posting this review only after having reserved our week for next summer...maybe I should put in our request for 2015 as well, word is getting out????
