Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“Pool is large and clean...House was clean and beds were comfortable. House was stocked! Towels, soaps, games, puzzles, TP, paper towels, kitchen essentials, detergents, pool floats, life jackets, etc. You name it, they have it. Just pack your belongings and food.” - Trisha

“Ellen was a wonderful host! She was very quick to answer any questions we had while making our reservations, and after we checked in, she was quick with an answer to a question we had.” - Jason

“...had a blast swimming in the pool, jumping off the dock into the lake, fishing, and more. We didn’t want to leave! We had everything we needed and more.” Rita

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Brandt

Host profile image
Welcome! We’re Kirk & Ellen. We live in Rock Hill, SC and have always dreamed of having lakefront property. We love to get away and relax in our cozy hideaway! We are so happy to share our little slice of lakeside paradise with you.

Why they chose this property

We love our cozy and quiet cove with a large lake area to play in! The views are magnificent from the bay windows in the kitchen and bedroom, from the deck on the back of the home and from the dock on the water.

What makes this property unique

Our property is one of a kind with a large, private salt water pool. I always say, "The pool is for those who like to look at the lake, but not swim in it!" Haha! The pool has a shaded side and a sunny side, so there is room for everyone!
