What a genuinely perfect spot to enjoy Lake Wateree… and life! The cottage is well stocked and beautifully decorated. There are SO many great spots to sit and relax, enjoy the lake breezes, swim in the warm waters, and kayak around the islands. THANK YOU for sharing this great place.

What a lovely thing to hear! We're so glad the kitchen setup, including the Crock-Pot and griddle, worked out perfectly, and that your pets got to enjoy the stay too. It means a lot to know this stood out as one of the nicest cabins you've stayed in.

This was the best house! Location was amazing and exceeded our expectations. Being across from the islands was great since we love to paddle board and kayak around the lake. We absolutely will stay here again. Neighbors were friendly and tolerant of our teenagers lol.

The property was exactly as presented when I was looking for a Lake vacation home.Home is full of character, Clean, right on the water with everything you needed right there. We enjoyed the fishing and kayaking so much along with just sitting on the screened in porch overlooking the water watching the wildlife swim and fly by daily . Even the " Lake House Pet" had a relaxing vacation "cute touch". Shane was on the spot responsive with any question...Definitely had no needs or issues staying here. Will definitely vacation here again & again!!!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication
Check‑in and check‑out were quick and communication was smooth. The view from the back of the house is lovely. That said, the front of the property, which isn’t shown in the listing photos, looks neglected and somewhat eerie, and the shed appears unused and cluttered. Inside, the house has a strong odor and feels like it hasn’t been cleaned properly for quite some time. The living room has no curtains, and the rug is noticeably dirty. The kitchen is decent and well‑stocked with seasonings.

We’re glad check-in, check-out, and communication went smoothly, and that you enjoyed the view and well-stocked kitchen. We’re sorry the home’s cleanliness and overall presentation fell short of expectations. We’re also sorry the lack of curtains in the living room wasn’t to your preference; this is our personal preference because we enjoy the natural sunlight coming in. We appreciate your feedback about the property exterior and other details you encountered during your stay, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We stayed at this lovely cabin while attending a family reunion in Camden. It was such a cute and comfortable place. The screened porch overlooking the lake was a big hit with everyone. Our local contact was very helpful and responsive. So, if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in the Camden area, give this sweet cabin a try.

This was a perfect vacation! As soon as we opened the door I knew this house was it! The beautiful hardwood floors, the windows overlooking the lake, the beams and character the house has is wonderful. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need to cook meals, the beds and trundle beds were comfy and the water pressure in the shower was spot on! Campfires with s’mores around the fire pit was roomy and the dock was very accessible getting off and on the boat. Views were stunning and we enjoyed watching the Eagle. I could say more… we were truly impressed and will definitely be back! Shawn was an amazing host too. You won’t go wrong and I hope you appreciate this lovely home as much as we did!

Great getaway

Shane was AMAZING!!! So responsive & quick and it was SO great having him host my VERY 1st VRBO rental. We truly felt like we were at home. Had everything we needed and then some. The kitchen was so well equipped, the bedrooms were very big and beds comfy, the living room off the kitchen offered enough space to relax, the sunroom was massive & the backyard screened in porch overlooking the lake was AMAZING!! All the windows at the back of the home viewed an ISLAND!! I am SO happy I found Shane & this rental. The rest of my family will be coming with me next year to this home. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!

Loved the home and property. So much more than we expected. Wish we could have stayed longer. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with every kind of cookware you could need. Well stocked with necessities and lots of kayaks and floats, towels, long chairs etc. everything you could need for a week at the lake! Excellent fire pit too. We loved it!

Thank you for your stay. We were disappointed to see the 2-star rating, particularly since no written concerns about the cottage were included. Because there are no property-specific comments for us to address publicly, we’ll continue focusing on maintaining the home and providing a welcoming experience for future guests.
