    We had a wonderful stay and Anna was a fantastic and responsive host. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The close proximity to Lake Jocassee was perfect. Overall fantastic!

    Overall pretty nice place google maps does not bring you straight to the adress but one dirt road over from it. Very steep and treacherous.There was an abundance of nats throught the house not over bearing but a good bit especially in the kitchen. Also didn't like that the grill was listed as an amenities but then stated it was gonna cost 35 extra to use. Both the wife and password were listed incorrectly on the website. Over all not a bad place to stay owner was pretty responsive. And house was decently clean minus some cob webs. Plenty of room but feel it was a little overpriced for what you got. But it was an amazing location just 4min drive from the lake.

    We host Thanksgiving every year but this year we had a home catastrophe a few days beforehand and our home was all torn apart! This home was the perfect size for our out of town children/grandchildren and dining room was perfect for hosting Thanksgiving for 11, could have fit more if needed. Very roomy and didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Would rent again if the need arises.

    We love coming up and staying the weekend. It's the perfect location from the lake. The house is always nice and clean and we feel right at home. We can't say enough great things and are very thankful to be able to stay!

    We selected this rental based on proximity to the lake and price. Our experience mirrors others, we got unexpected fees after we left the property, so we ended up paying more for our stay. Four days after our departure we’ve been charged with $259 for a damaged faucet - which we never broke. Communication was shut down after the first attempt to present our side of the story. VRBO is useless, and the host knows and counts on that. We usually read more carefully the reviews, but we rushed this time and thought we’d give it a chance. A disappointing experience!

    Well we wanted this to be a great rental but turns outs the only good thing is location and price. Yea it's close to the state park at a good rate. The downfall is the following: When we arrived, the house was very musty and had mold on the walls of the bathroom. I let it go as we were only there for a couple days and it was an older house. Now after checking out was a different story the owner is very unreasonable and not accommodating at all. She accused me of leaving the house a Huge Mess bc the place mats from the dining table where not put back and the silver ware was not in the correct location..... Which is was.... also there was a note on the grill saying there would be a $35 charge if the grill was not cleaned after use. So, I went above and beyond to clean the grill and drip pan after only cooking burgers and dogs once on it. Apparently if you use the grill at all then be prepared to pay that $35 bc I cleaned it better than I found it. She was also upset that we left one cardboard box and a plastic jug in the trash can and it was not in a bag. She is now trying to charge me $500 for this which is crazy! I have never had a issue renting on VRBO till now but this Host has now made me very cautious and I will pay way more attention to who I rent from. My suggestion find a better place to stay with a much better host. Good luck and Don't stay here!
