The location was awesome! You have access to a backyard, beach, outdoor dining area, and a lovely dock and covered patio area over the water. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch. There are both shady and sunny areas to enjoy. The cottage is cozy.The hosts were very quick to respond to questions. I would recommend.
Host are wonderful, they accommodated us when I originally scheduled the wrong date.Very clean and it made our stay so much better than a hotel room. We were in town for our daughters bball tournament and with a smaller sibling it was way more enjoyable…
Loved out stay at the cottage. Thank you for sharing you home with us. We had such a relaxing week and loved exploring the lake . Slept so well never got to see a sunrise but the sunsets were amazing.
Quaint peaceful location on the lake. Clean, cozy cottage. We didn’t cook any meals during our stay but ate conveniently at the kitchen bar. Plenty of hot water in the shower. Ample supplies on site. Appreciated use of the kayaks. Nice screened in porch.
This is very nice older house. It was cool to see all older stuff inside. Very clean and well equipped. Absolutely beautiful view and definitely recommend !
Beautiful location on the lake. Cottage was cute and comfortable. Loved the screened porch! Gail and Bob you were great hosts. Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of your paradise with us. Tina and Len
This house was the perfect location. Close to boat ramp and shopping. The beach area at the water was the perfect spot to relax. Host was very nice and was always available for questions.
This is the second time we have stayed here. It was as nice as it was the 1st time. The owners are extremely friendly
and helpful. We will stay here again on
our next trip.
Thank you,
Cathy & Jimmy
This adorable lakefront home was perfect for our visit for a nearby wedding. The porch and lake setting were relaxing, and the house was well equipped and nicely decorated. Our hosts were accessible, but not ovetlt present. They added to the stay with friendly help. We'll come back again!

About the host
Hosted by Bob & Gail Crutchfield
We have loved Lake Waccamaw all of our lives. As children we traveled with our families and friends to swim, fish, and just enjoy. As a young married couple we bought our first place at the lake. In 1984 we bought the home we live in now as a "get away". Finally, in 2002 we moved here permanently. We have owned "the COTTAGE" since 2001 and have rented it since then. We're excited about meeting our vacationers and look forward to each new experience. We're available if you need us and happy to give you all the privacy you want.
