Our stay was wonderful. This was a perfect place to stay for a crowded Clemson football weekend because it's located on the opposite side of traffic. The beautiful lake setting was a bonus.

We came for the weekend of Clemson family weekend with another family. The property had lots of parking space which was helpful and it was very comfortable and well air conditioned inside with plenty of room for everyone to sleep. We especially enjoyed the dock and outdoor area which was great for visiting while enjoying the beautiful lake scenery. The outdoor decks and furniture needed a good sweeping/air blowing to get rid of leaves and spiders, but that was easily done. We would stay again.

Amazing property to get away from it all!

We had an amazing time at Black’s Beach. The little beach area was perfect for my kids to play in! Glenda was such a gracious host even finding us fishing poles when I asked if she had any. You can tell there’s a lot of love in that home and property and we will definitely be back!

We rented this lake house for parents weekend, wanting to get a little peace and quiet away from the crazy, the peaceful environment was lovely, the beds were very comfy, and it was so nice to have a house for our family to enjoy the weekend! Thank you, we will return!

Great Lakeside Home

We stayed here for a parents weekend visit and football game at Clemson. Great property and owner is very responsive. Everything went beyond smooth and the location is not as far from Clemson as you might think when looking on a map. While we did not have much time to enjoy the lake side views I can see how this property would be great for a summer retreat or longer stay on a visit to Clemson.

Amazing getaway on quiet part of the lake

We came here to celebrate my daughter's 9th birthday so she could test out her new kayak. The property location was perfect with minimal boat traffic coming by this part of the lake. The covered dock was perfect to fish off and attach some floaties for the kids to lounge in the water. The house had everything we needed and Glenda was super communicative and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back here for future weekend getaways!

Fishing tournament

Property is located nicely with several boat ramps only minutes away. Green pond is less than 30 mins away. Truck and trailer parking is a little tight but very managable. We had 2 truck and boat rigs there with no issues. Definitely Recommend!!

A relaxing 5 days at the lake! Glenda is excellent to deal with and grateful that her and her husband share their lake house! Well stocked, great yard and dock. Our only complaint - the high temperature and humidity!! But no rain!! Was not able to enjoy the dock and great outdoor areas as much as we normally would.

Beautiful!

The home is tucked away in the woods on the lake. A beautiful property with plenty of outside areas for all ages. Our group of 5 had plenty of room to spread out and the home was well stocked. Glenda was great with supplying us with recommendations for our first Clemson tailgate/game day, hiking/sightseeing and restaurants. When we weren’t out and about, we enjoyed fishing from the dock, sitting in the multiple places outside, laying in the hammock and enjoying the family’s sports memorabilia. We enjoyed being a short distance from Clemson and the beautiful Fall weather made being outside with family a great escape!

Labor Day Get away

We had a great weekend in spite of the rain wash out. It was the start of football so that made it easier to be on the inside between the really bad periods of rain. We also played games and cards. There were enough breaks for everyone to enjoy the dock and go out on the lake some. The guys got in some late night fishing off the dock. We cooked in the whole weekend and the kitchen is completely stocked with everything you need. The beds are comfortable and it was a great time with my family. The owners are so very nice and responsive.

Thankful Thanksgiving

Our family of 4 enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving in this cozy home! It had everything we needed and we had fabulous weekend. Our daughter is a Clemson student and it's convenient location made going back and forth to her apartment easy! The weather was amazing for November, and even though the game didn't turn out as we hoped, we all had a memorable holiday! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We have lived in Oconee County all our lives and love the upstate of South Carolina. Our family has enjoyed water sports for many years on Lake Hartwell.

Why they chose this property

Our property is a short drive to Clemson University sporting events. It's tucked away in a quiet cove, but has easy access to open water. It's a GENTLE slope to the lake, and a bonus sandy beach that's wonderful for children.

What makes this property unique

Black's Beach is a peaceful lake property in a quiet cove. There are many places to enjoy peace and quiet, including a hammock, swivel rocking chairs, a love seat hammock on the dock, a comfortable cushioned couch on the back deck, and a covered gazebo bench. Corn hole boards.
