The space

Launch your day from the private boat ramp (kayaks, paddle-boards and a splash pad provided). Glide on the serene waters of beautiful Lake Wateree, with nature all around you. Prefer to stay close to shore? Head down to the covered dock, perfect for fishing, lounging with a cold drink or watching your kids splash the day away. Back on land, the fun continues with yard games (badminton, corn hole, ladder ball, croquet, ring-toss and Kan Jam), and pingpong inside the game garage. Escape the craziness in the “Cozy Clubhouse”, equipped with hammock, zero gravity chaise lounges, yoga mats, and some light exercise equipment. In the evening, as you take in the breathtaking sunsets, fire up the grill, enjoy a meal outside and top it off with marshmallows and scary stories around the fire pit (2 bundles of firewood provided). Prefer to be indoors? Stream your favorite show on any of our 4 Smart TVs, grab a book or magazine, or enjoy a variety of board games.

Nestled in a deep-water cove, ideal for fishing, swimming and enjoy water activities with little-to-no boat traffic. We provide life vests (sizes ranging from toddler to XL), as well as indoor games, books and magazines.

There’s plenty of room to dine outdoors on the deck, or at the picnic table under the tree.
Fully stocked kitchen with everything we could think of. A generous amount of paper towels and toilet paper provided. Lake towels and outdoor chairs with cushions provided. Sturdy polywood Adirondack furniture.
During the cooler season, get cozy in front of the indoor gas fireplace with comfy blankets. Watch a movie, while enjoying time with friends and family.
This is truly a 'home away from home'.
Trailer in your own boat, or rent one at Wateree Marina (10 minutes from our home). Fish are biting! With scenic views from every room and endless activities at your doorstep, it’s the perfect spot to make lasting memories with family and friends.

Feel free to dock your boat during your stay. We ask that you please do not use the boat lift. There’s plenty of room to trailer right into the water, and tie up at the end of the dock.


**NOTE: As property owners, we bear NO responsibility for trailering in/docking/operating your own watercraft. This includes damages, theft, malfunction, in addition to personal injury or death with regard to your watercraft. This is at your own risk.

Guest access

The entire house, including the 2-bed loft, fenced front and back yard, dock, boat slip and lake are all yours to enjoy during your stay. Access to the garage for kayaks, paddle boards, ping-pong table, yard games and more. Access to the "Cozy Clubhouse" to the left of the main house to relax, sip coffee, yoga, take a nap, gather for a cocktail, play a game, swing on the hammock. 

Other things to note

1) There is a maximum capacity of 8 guests allowed at any given time. 
2)  We have a security camera facing the driveway entrance. It is out of view of any gathering places or private areas. 

3) Please be sure to supervise your children and pets at all times. Due to the property's lakeside location and open water access, there are inherent safety risks for children and pets. Guests should exercise caution at all times, as we cannot assume responsibility for accidents or injuries. 

4)There is a flat pet fee of $175, which allows for up to 2 dogs. If you are bringing your furry friend to the property, please note that having a fenced-in yard does not always ensure their safety. It is your responsibility to keep a close eye on your pets. We are NOT responsible if your pet escapes the fenced-in property, enters the lake, or encounters a wildlife species. When pups come to a new location, it’s natural for them to explore. Please supervise them  them at all times!
