Perfect spot for long family weekend. House is just as described and everything was great. End of quiet neighborhood road. Favorite spot was on the screen porch overlooking the lake.
The property is very well equipped and stockedThe owners are very responsive and the house is located on a quiet cove which is perfect for swimming and boating. We especially enjoyed our meals on the well furnished screened porch
We really enjoyed our stay during Clemson family weekend! The screened in porch with a view of the lake was a highlight, and being near restaurants and not far from campus was ideal. The modern interior stood out from other homes we rented on the lake. Highly recommend!
The cottage was as advertised. Very well furnished, well maintained and just a great place to relax. would love to go back in the summer and enjoy the water. Great view from back screened in deck. i highly recommend to anyone
We had an awesome stay at the Bannister Cottage on 4th of July. Very quiet, clean and cozy. Great location to watch the fireworks show on the lake as well!! We’ll come again for sure . Thank you!!!
Beautiful location! Loved the house and all of its amenities. Incredible owners ! Very attentive!
We had a wonderful stay! Very relaxing! The house is beautiful and provides everything you could possible need. We loved the location and really enjoyed the kayaks. We will definitely stay again!
We had a great time staying in this home. It was nice to have breakfast out back and watch the sunrise over the lake. The kitchen is well stocked. We explored the area and enjoyed relaxing in this home.
Very nice home, on the lake with deep water. Nicely redone inside and would like to have this for a second home. Neighborhood a little sketchy but no problems.
The interior of the home was very nice, just as it was represented in the online images. The property manager was very accommodating and attentive. We had a very nice stay.
