My significant other and I really enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Retreat. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. The home and property was very clean. It had absolutely everything we needed to equipped kitchen, towels and linens. The process was efficient from booking, to having everything we needed before arriving. The host was very informative for absolutely everything. Thank you Valerie for an enjoyable stay. We will use again in the future.

My grandson loves to fish and this house was right on the lake, had a nice dock, and provided a canoe for us to use. The sunsets were beautiful, it was nice and quiet. The kitchen was very well supplied! We would book here again!

We enjoyed our stay! It was a quaint house on the lake with a nice view of the lake. Easy drive to Clemson for a football game! Not much around in the way of restaurants but Anderson and Lavonia are easy 15-20 minute drive for that. Overall very enjoyable stay and would stay again.

Perfect birthday/anniversary/summer solstice retreat

Ideal place to relax and enjoy the peace of the lake. The dock was great for kayak launch and swimming. The house was clean, comfortable and inviting. We felt at home within the first few minutes.

Quiet Neighborhood

Clean and quiet place to stay. Did not get to enjoy the dock as much as I hoped because the ramp to the dock was under water.

A Cozy Getaway

Everything about our stay was perfect. The host answered any and all questions promptly, and was extremely friendly. The house is so cozy, it felt like a home away from home with the bonus of a beautiful lake view. It’s an easy walk to the dock, with lovely landscaping. Kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed to cook all of our meals. 10/10 would recommend!
