We had a very restful time here. The lake view was beautiful and the tiny house felt anything but! The layout felt spacious and cozy. All the special touches they put into our stay was greatly appreciated! Definitely would love to return!
We had a wonderful time, it was a relaxing time. We spent our days exploring the near by towns meeting the friendliest people and viewing nature in the beautiful mountains and waterfalls that surround the area. Coming back to the cabin to enjoy the hot tub and peaceful cabin was just what we needed to start the year!! Communication was great and everything was clean and nice
We had a lovely stay at this property. The owners thought of everything and went out of their way to be sure we had what we needed to enjoy our visit. It was a super cute cabin with a lovely view. Well worth it!

Thank you for choosing to stay at Whitewater cabin! You were great guests! We’d welcome you back any time!
We loved our stay here- the house was very clean and had so many thoughtful touches. The owners answered a few questions very quickly and everything was as described online. There are a lot of steps down to the lake but they are well- maintained. We hated to leave!

We are so grateful you enjoyed your stay! We hope you visit again!
Really enjoyed our time at the small cabin. It is small but can easily sleep 6. There’s also plenty to do outside. Great access to the small private lake. It was refreshing to eat outside in the gazebo with the provided Blackstone grill. We had a great time and would definitely go back.- Communication was very clear with quick response.- House was clean with thoughtful amenities provided.- Location is very close to Lake Jocassee but not many local restaurant options so bring in your food.

This amazing Tiny Cabin on the Lake is my new number one! The giant window facing the lake kept us one with nature the entire time. Access to the lake was perfect. The house is the total package - clean, modern, beautiful!
