About the host
Hosted by Scott Thompson
Hi, we’re Scott & Laura Thompson! We’re a family of five from Effingham County, GA, and after nearly two decades of running our own business in the trades, we decided it was time for a new adventure. Real estate felt like the perfect fit—something we could enjoy together while creating spaces for others to relax, recharge, and make memories.
We homeschool our kids, which gives us the freedom to travel and spend time exploring as a family. This property is extra special to us because it represents the beginning of a new chapter—one we’re excited to share with you. We hope you’ll love it here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property
My wife’s family has been vacationing at Clarks Hill for generations. She grew up spending summers here—swimming, skiing, and tubing with her family—and always dreamed of one day owning a lakefront cabin. When the opportunity came along, we knew it was meant to be.
Some of our most cherished memories have been made at this lake, and we look forward to creating many more with our family and friends in this cabin. We hope you’ll enjoy it just as much and make your own lasting memories here!

What makes this property unique
One of the things we love most about this cabin is how much there is for families to do right outside the door. From the deck, you can spot deer, birds, and other wildlife, or head down to the water for a day of swimming, tubing, skiing, or just cruising the lake.
The community offers plenty of room for hiking and biking, and just a few miles away you’ll find a brand-new 50-mile trail system perfect for family adventures on foot, bike, or even kayak. Fishing is fantastic less than half a mile from the cabin, and for those who love to golf, you’ll be close to some of the best family-friendly courses around.
Whether your crew is into water sports, trail exploring, or simply relaxing together in a beautiful natural setting, this cabin is the perfect base for family fun.
