    The host was very responsive and our stay allowed for an early check-in, which was nice because we were coming from NH and landing on the earlier side. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay for our daughter's Clemson graduation. The house was big enough for us to host some family but still allowed enough space for people to sneak off for some quiet time. It had everything we needed whether staying in to cook or catering. The lake front views are a wonderful bonus.

    My family of 12 stayed for the weekend of my daughter’s Clemson ring ceremony. The house was exactly what we needed. It had plenty of room and we enjoyed the fire pit at night. It’s one of the most comfortable homes we’ve ever stayed in and will definitely book it again in the future.

    This house couldn’t be in a better spot—super easy to get to campus for the game or to meet up with our Clemson student. It was the ideal setup for bringing together friends and alumni from both teams. Tons of space to relax, enjoy the lake, and celebrate before and after the game. Great mix of comfort, location, and tailgate vibes—highly recommend for football weekends or family visits!

    We had such a great time at this lake house. It was the perfect place for our group—super close to Clemson so getting to and from campus was easy, but also a great hangout spot on its own. We spent a ton of time on the dock and around the fire pit. There’s plenty of space both inside and out, and everything was super comfortable and well set up. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun, relaxing place near the lake and the university.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lake house for my daughter’s graduation from Clemson. The house was so comfortable and felt just like being at home, with plenty of space and thoughtful touches throughout. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful, always available to answer any questions or provide recommendations, which made our stay even more enjoyable.The highlight of the property was definitely the lake view – every window in the living room and kitchen offered a beautiful, serene view of the water. It was the perfect backdrop for relaxing and spending time with family.We also had a great time enjoying the fire pit, roasting marshmallows, and making s’mores in the evening. The peaceful setting and cozy atmosphere made it an ideal place to unwind and celebrate such a special occasion.We would highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with stunning views and exceptional hospitality. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate!

    The perfect home to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. Great kitchen for cooking and comfortable dining areas for gathering. Playing games and sitting around the fire pit was awesome. Convenient to Clemson making attending the football game easy.
