Very family friendly house. Laid out perfectly for center family gathering. We used every room. Everything was clean. The location was perfect - literally 5 minutes from the lake. The area itself was extremely quiet. Perfect for a family retreat.

Beautiful house, perfect for a group vacation-- basically one giant common area, with two bedrooms and a bath off to each side, and nice outside space as well. Also very close to Devil's Fork State Park entrance. My only criticism would be it being kind of meager on supplies. As they warn in the description, the only toilet paper and paper towels is what's on the rolls.

Beautiful home near Devils Fork State Park

Gorgeous home with lots of open dining, living and kitchen and plenty of areas to hangout. Kitchen was stocked with more than we anticipated which was great. Backyard with covered patio, hot tub and separate fire pit area was relaxing and great place to bird watch. Only thing we wish was mentioned was that even though you’re less than a mile from Devils Fork State Park you cannot walk there safely. If you go on a busy Summer and a Saturday go online and reserve your parking a week in advance to ensure you get in if the park reaches capacity (which it almost always does by 9am). It was a 3 min drive to the park and if you go later in the day it’s a non-issue. Overall great experience for family and friends and highly recommend.

The perfect spot for a group trip to Lake Jocassee. A short drive from the park and boat ramps yet still felt secluded and safe. We had plenty of room to spread out in the house and the kitchen was very well appointed, which was good because we did a lot of cooking. The hot tub was a perfect way to end the days after exploring the lake. Beds were firm but comfortable. Bathrooms were very nice. I got a little nervous when I was informed that I would only be given the door code 15 minutes before arrival but I received that text right on time. My only issue with that was that you’re also given the address at that time which means you don’t know exactly where you’re going until you’re almost there. Also, the gas grill shown in pictures is no longer there. We had planned our meals out and already did our shopping when I was messaged that it had been removed. We had to stop on the way to pick up charcoal. But at least they told us before we got there. Other than those small details everything else about the stay was great and I would definitely stay here again in the future.
