About this property

Lake Jocassee retreat on two acres!! New hot tub, Devil’s Fork State Park

Come relax in this Upstate, SC paradise!

Gorgeous A-Frame on 2-acres, down the road from Devil's Fork State Park! Wake up to coffee on the balcony, lunch on the gazebo, then jump in the clear blue waters of Lake Jocassee.

2/3 mile from the State Park boat ramp, it's a short drive or a brisk walk away from one of the most beautiful clear lakes in the US. Kayak rentals and boat tours are available from nearby businesses.

Just over an hour from the Greenville-Spartanburg area, and about 30 minutes from Clemson. An hour and a half beautiful mountainous drive from Ashville, NC. The house is located adjacent to Devil's Fork State Park, and guests have access to all the park has to offer. The house is "behind the entrance" to the park, which makes it and the park accessible even when the park is declared "full" by the Rangers.

Please be aware that, like many locations near mountains and lakes, we are “out in the woods.” With that closeness to nature you also will encounter some critters. There are bears, armadillos, etc. on and near the property. Please be especially mindful when bringing pets with you. You’ll also likely encounter smaller creatures such as the seasonal ladybug swarms in Oct-Nov, and “no-see-ums” in the summer. We treat the house the best we can, but the occasional bug or bug family will likely get past our defenses. We do all we can to mitigate this, but want you to be fully aware.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Everything was great but the heat thermostat. Woke up freezing as the house was 63 degrees. Managed to sort of get it to work. Set the thermostat on eco when we left. Beautiful house and we had a great stay.

Thanks very much for staying Jeff, so sorry to hear about your trouble with the thermostat. I only wish you would’ve let us know during your stay! Our primary goal is to ensure our guests are comfortable and relaxed, and dealing with a chilly wake-up isn’t at all what we want.

Fantastic Jocassee Get Away

My family and I stayed at Michael’s property over the week of July 4th with our dogs. We had the best experience! The location is great - only 5 minutes from the state park. The property had plenty of space to spread out and relax. We will definitely be rebooking in the future.

It was just as pictured and even had beautifully manicured grounds. The house was fresh and new feeling. Thoroughly stocked kitchen and bathrooms with much appreciated little extras that we might have not thought to bring. Coffee was delicious! We rented pontoon boats just up the road and boarded at the park. Very convenient and a park pass was at the house for us. Everything was easy and so nice. Ample parking at the house for our 4 large vehicles and a boat& trailer. We'll be back!!!

Very comfortable and clean. Lots of fun for the kids. Hot tub, lunch in the picturesque gazebo, and smores by the fire pit. Lake Jocasee is such a unique location and this home and hosts completed a great weekend getaway. Not much dining nearby but the kitchen has everything you need and more. These hosts are very generous in that area. We found the mattresses quite comfortable and we have back problems. Highly recommend Jocassee lake tours company (pontoon boats with a naturalist guide) as a tour of this fascinating lake and its wonderful views is not to be missed. You need to be on a boat to really see the wonders of this lake.

Fabulous time at Lake Jocassee retreat

We had a wonderful time at Michael’s home. It was sparkling clean , beautiful and cozy. It had everything we needed to cook meals but we decided to enjoy meals out at local restaurants .We hiked during the day and came home in the evening to enjoy the hot tub and a wonderful night’s sleep in the super comfie beds! We drove into Greenville one day to bike on The Swamp Ranbit Trail and have dinner. We will definitely rent this home again! Thank you Michael for being an outstanding host

Great 4th of July Trip

This house has everything you need for a cozy family and friends stay. The lot is beautiful and the lake is just a quick drive away. The neighbors put on a great July 4th fireworks show we could watch from the front porch. Only minor drawback is the busy main road in front of the house. Also, the downstairs beds are not as comfy as the master. Overall we were delighted with our stay even with rain, and would return again.

Lake stay

We are visiting the area because we are considering a move to SC. The house and property are beautiful and well appointed. We were a party of 4 but 8 people could easily occupy the same space. The owners are great. They accommodated us at the last minute which was a big help. We were able to walk to Jocassee Lake. The water is so clean. The swimming was so refreshing. Great stay. We will definitely return.

A private getaway

Our week at Lake Jocassee was the perfect opportunity to unplug and rest. We were able to visit a few of the local parks. The views are incredible! We rented a boat just a few minutes from the house and explored all of the lake’s waterfalls. The property is a short drive to the beach. Michael was incredibly responsive and helpful. The neighbors were lovely as well; although there is plenty of space between homes. The property was beautifully kept. Hot tub, fire pit, grill, and family friendly games on site. Highly recommend this spot; we are already planning another visit.
