Private executive lakefront retreat

Everything was perfect. Beautiful house and view.

My family and I had a fantastic weeklong vacation in the McKay home. The property had an abundance of amenities. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking, roasting marshmallows at the fire pit and when the rain came, we spent hours in the game room. The kitchen was well stocked with any cooking utensils needed as we did not go out to eat the entire week. The most delightful experience was the art décor of the home. The home was filled with art pieces created by the owner and their daughter. During our stay, we seen deer, several bald eagles and multiple species of butterflies in front of the home. Ross was a pleasure to work with! He provided easy check-in and check-out instructions as well as great communication from the day we booked until the day we checked out. Our family will definitely return to the McKay home as it’s the best we have stayed in during our past 16 years of going to lake Wateree. Highly recommended!!!

This is our 4th year staying at this awesome Wateree home. The home has everything you need. Space, amenities, and our beloved pets can come also. Its perfect for our family. Thank you to the McKays for sharing this little piece of heaven on earth

The property is everything as noted. The Mckay's have everything u need. Been using VRBO for some time and this is our favorite. Thanks Ross.

Ross's property was amazing in every way! The location is very private, and the house is beautiful! The pictures are very accurate...the house is just lovely with everything you could need! The artwork throughout was really beautiful. We loved having the beach to swim off of and the dogs were able to walk right out into the water without having to jump off the dock into deep water. We really enjoyed making a fire at the firepit overlooking the lake and the gorgeous sunsets! We had a small temperature issue with the AC not working properly and the owner took care of it without us even having to ask! The beds and furniture were comfortable and the layout was perfect! I can't say enough wonderful things about this property! A perfect summer getaway!

Our stay was perfect and easily ranks among our top three vacations of all time. Bringing our two dogs added immensely to the wonderful experience. The house is amazing, and if you’re seeking privacy and solitude, this is the place for it. The location and expansiveness of the property made us feel like we were on our own island. Tucked away just inside a cove, we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets each evening as the property faces west. We spent much of our time lounging on the floating mat available at the house. One of the highlights of our stay was spotting an eagle on several occasions as it perched in the trees near the dock. The sandy beach was perfect for sitting under the umbrellas to escape the sun when needed. Inside, the house is beautiful, spacious, and equipped with everything you need. We never felt like we were lacking anything. The game room downstairs was a great way to pass the time and have fun when we had soaked up enough sun for the day. This was our first time visiting Lake Wateree, and we were pleasantly surprised by how large and quiet the lake was. Even on a Sunday, it never seemed overly crowded. Ross was a pleasure to deal with and provided all the necessary information for a great stay. We had high hopes for an amazing stay, but our expectations were exceeded. We will definitely be staying here again without a doubt.

Beautiful property Probably the best on Lake Wateree

Lovely house on the lake with plenty of room, nicely decorated.

This is the 3rd year our family and pets have stayed. It’s hard to find rentals that allow pets and we consider our pets family too. The grandchildren love the basement with all the fun games and space they can play. Of course the lake is awesome. All kids and grown ups love tubing and knee boarding. Hope to come back next year to add skiing for the grands since they mastered the knee board. So much fun. The location is very private and the house is very spacious and well equipped with all you ever need. Great family get away. Never disappoints. Thank you to the McKays for another great vacation.

Had an awesome time with our children, grandchildren and pets. The house is gorgeous and kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed the beach area on the lake where the kids could swim. We had our boat and did some awesome tubing with the kids and boat rides in the evening. Highly recommend this home for a great family vacation.
