Family wedding and we rented three houses on the lake next to each other. It was perfect for that. Beautiful views and nature abounds. It's an older little lake cabin affordably priced that suited our needs just fine. The house slept 5 (one couple) very comfortably. Good AC and washer/dryer. Comfortable beds, plenty of bathroom space but better pillows wouldn't hurt. The property manager(s) were stellar, responsive and helpful. Loved the porch time! Sadly , Didn't get to use the kayaks provided!

Great to hear the wedding was a success and the accommodations were perfect for your needs!
Property was nice. View of the lake was good. Parking with a boat trailer was a bit tight but we made it work. I will rent again if we have tournaments there.

Thanks Triston, if parking were tight, you should have used the airplane hangar next door we recommended you park at, or at least all of the trailers your group brought. Sorry we didn't hit the 10/10 we strive for, but we just spent a mint to fix the flooring you pointed out, we needed additional support beneath the floor, it was a weeklong project, but perfection!
We had my bachelorette trip here and it was so fun!! The home and view is so much more beautiful in person. The lake felt good and the home was stocked with essentials! Would love to come here again.

Love that you uploaded some of your photos of your stay on Lake Wateree! Where are the sunset photos though?!?! Happy you had a memory-filled party with your closest friends - we do hope to see again sometime through Lake Wateree Vacations!
So happy you enjoyed our cute cottage on Lake Wateree! Just happy you all had a great time and would consider returning, it really is such a core memory type experience for the family!
Location and setting was outstanding. Owner was great to work with, quick responses meeting all our requests. House size was small with step down in hall - reason for overall rating of 4 stars.Enjoyed our short stay.

Happy the setting and experience booking was outstanding! We pride ourselves in being available and easy going hosts! Sorry we got dinged for the lakehouse not being up to your size standards. We don't feel any of the description or photos are misleading, but reviews like this help. We are not a large lakehouse by any means, but should accommodate a party size of six well enough for a weekend adventure!
The swim area was great and dock! The house needs upgrade on pillows and and the pull out sofa bed wasnt even comfortable for a little kid! Porch needs upgrade on cushions! Location was great! No where for a family to sit and eat a meal together

Hey Carolyn, so happy you were able to take full advantage of the dock, the boat ramp and swimming and fishing in our cove! We know you all were a little crammed into the cabin and we are reducing the party size allowed at the cabin because of this. We noted your requests for updated pillows and cushions, just nothing we could accomplish during your stay time. We trust the location was a 10 out of 10, because that is what everyone says (in a cove, end of the road privacy, Camden side with the sunsets, access to a boat ramp, your own dock and water toys), sorry that the size just was not what you were expecting. So for anyone reading these reviews, which is most booking guests, this is definitely a smaller 3 bedroom without a 6-8 person dining room table, but still a 3 bedroom on Lake Wateree on a budget and with style, nonetheless!
This cottage is perfect and has an incredible location! It was clean and cozy, we loved all the windows overlooking the lake. The host/property manager were very attentive and helpful, more so than many places we have stayed! Loved Kayaking and spending so much time on the porch. Thank you for an amazing stay! We will be back!

So happy you had an amazing stay! And so happy you would entertain returning! Clean and cozy, music to our ears!
We came in March 2025 and the pictures on VRBO were great but once there wasn’t the same. Not enough chairs for outside or inside seating. Place was not clean. Refrigerator missing handle.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
nice location
The house was perfect in location and the property manager was very helpful when we requested additional paper towels and TP. We checked early and the cleaner wasn't finished, but was very nice. If you bring a boat, be aware that it is difficult to turn around and back your boat in. There is a private ramp very close which was very nice to use.

it is important to note that the cleaner was finished before check-in time, just not fully finished for your early arrival, but she is always accommodating! We would suggest using the driveway next door to back in and out, that would be easier than turning around 180 in our yard :)
We just returned from our 5 night stay. We had such a wonderful time! This property is exactly as pictured, simple and perfect. We enjoyed each morning sipping coffee on the deck. We had a blast fishing at the lake which is only a few short steps away. If you are looking for a cute, comfortable, peaceful place to stay on the lake -look no further!!
This outdoor space is amazing!!!! I loved having all the room to just fish or swim, & the sunsets were absolutely stunning!!! House was beautiful & very well cleaned before arrival! The only things was the 3rd bedroom is a twin bed with a trundle bed. (It is noted in description of listing, I just missed that part.) However, the teen boys were fine sharing this room and we all enjoyed our time together. I’m glad we picked here for our first visit to Lake Wateree! Thanks for having us!

So happy to be your hosts for your first Wateree stay! Yes, for anyone reading, the bedroom is a twin with a trundle, I am happy you all made the best with it! Teens can be resilient :)
We had a great time staying here! The communication from management was very friendly and quick/responsive. The instructions for check in and out were easy to follow. The roads around this house were not busy at all; the part of the lake it is on was also not overly busy. We heard fairly constant motor noise but it was Labor Day weekend and being in this little cove made it distant and therefore not very loud. Neighbors were friendly and there was always some kind of activity to see from our bank/dock. The kitchen had a good selection of mugs, glasses, dishes, and pots/pans/baking sheets. There were K-Cup coffees and teas provided. The porch was very big and covered, but not screened in. That made for better views, and there were surprisingly few bugs around the house and lake anyways. We went to several stores and restaurants nearby as well as a little grill/bait shop at a very close-by boat ramp. We arrived just as some live acoustic music had finished. There is no ladder on the dock and a rocky bank/wall for pretty much the width of the lot. Easy enough to walk out from swimming, but I could see that being a hindrance to launching/beaching kayaks, which we did not try to do this time. Overall this was a very great house with lots of character and charm!

Love that you loved your time on Lake Wateree at our lakehouse! The Camden side is definitely where you go to see sunsets every night! Being in a cove keeps the lake noise at bay and the traffic down for sure (also having dead ends for the roads in help too!) - til next time!!!
I cannot say enough nice things about this cute house! There is tons of space and privacy, a beautiful dock in the best cove on the lake, absolutely adorable interior and a GREAT back porch with a view of Lake Wateree. We are already picking dates for our next trip. The owners and the rental manager are so nice and accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful Memorial Day week!!! We can’t wait to come back! Plenty of room for a crowd!!!
Nice little cabin…our new “go to” now that we have a pooch in the family. It is small but the space is used well, there’s been some nice remodeling and everything works as it should. Great new dock so it was super easy to use our boat. The fire pit and 2 kayaks were also nice to have & use. Not negatives but a couple of things worth mentioning for future guests. First, if you plan to trailer a boat down, we would advise taking it to landing first and NOT down to the cabin. Turning around was not an easy process even with our modest 18’ foot boat. Second, there are cameras around the outside of the house. We understand the “why” of that but did not recall seeing it in the listing so it took a bit of getting used to. We’ll definitely consider staying again and would absolutely recommend it.
We enjoyed our stay! The house is newly remodeled and was suitable for my dad, brother, and niece and myself and husband. Mostly flat yard made the dock easily accessible for my dad.
Loved this rental! Would be great for a family stay or a girls getaway. Loved that I could bring my dogs, the owner was very accommodating about me bringing my larger dog.
This nicely decorated lake home felt like home everything that you could need for a nice family vacation. I was pleasently surprised at the decor and cleanliness of this home and it was fully stocked with all of the essentials the sunsets were amazing!
Just returned home from a long weekend at Lake Wateree. This cottage was perfect for our familyof 3, it was just as described. The home was nicely renovated, beds were comfortable.We spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the lake. Fishing was great off the dock, my son was out there all day catching catfish and bream. The location was quiet, perfect for floating on inner tubes.
We're already planning to stay again this fall
We had the absolute best time here! 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths comfortably accommodated our 8 guests. Kayaks for use out back and we rented a pontoon from the marina to use during our stay. Super fun trip! Will def be back!
Enjoyed our stay. Was happy to find master king mattress was high quality. Definitely would recommend and will return.
Only one suggestions.
1. Dock needs ladder for swimming.
