Thanksgiving treat

The family, my daughter and her husband, along with their 2 children (6 and 4) , my adult son and myself decided to spend Thanksgiving a little differently this year. With the loss of my husband in Feb, and the COVID , we’ve have very limited time together, so I decided to reserve a place in the mountains, on the lake, it it was PERFECT! This is SO much bigger inside than the pics reflect, and is set up to easily accommodate at least 8-10 people! The way the house is laid out is perfect for socializing AND privacy! I can definitely see us renting here again!!

Family weekend on the lake

We spent the weekend with our family at the house. We had a great time on the lake, and the house was perfect. Our grandkids loved fishing off the back steps and making smores by the fire. The house was comfortable and had everything that we could need. Communication with the owner was great. It was nice to have use of the kayaks on site too. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Lake Jocassee 💜

Great place. Location, location, location

This was such a great place. The owner, Dee, is very responsive and helped us with directions and answering questions. It was convenient to so many lakes in the area (Jocassee and Keowee) and sits on a quiet river. We went boating riding at the lakes by day and kayaked in the evenings at the house. The grandkids loved the cute A Frame so much they didn’t want to leave. House was clean and had enough room for the 7 of us. We would rent again if the opportunity arises. Thanks for a beautiful stay Dee.

Peaceful retreat

This home was everything expected and more. We were looking for a quiet retreat close to Clemson so we could join my son for a quick 18th birthday celebration without disrupting his studies with a lot of travel. It was perfect. While it is quietly secluded in the woods, there is easy access to groceries so that we could grab what we needed on the way in. Once there, we enjoyed easy access to some beautiful hiking trails for the day. Retreating to the back deck, we watched the sunrise, the heron launch, the fish jump. I will definitely bring my fishing gear on the next trip. The fire circle made for a great dinner by the fire, s’mores, and the kind of family time we will cherish forever. Thank you to the owners for graciously opening their home an being available to guide our journey.

The house is much bigger and better then pictures show!

We had an amazing time. The house is fantastic and ample room for 6 adults. The open kitchen/dining/living area was perfect for hanging out with friends. The owner was great with directions and very helpful. The only things I would recommend to those staying is to not depend on delivery, most restaurants could not locate the house on system, also no ESPN so be ready to be creative. Will definitely be renting this house again for a football filled weekend! Thank you Dee!

Host profile image
We moved our family to Upstate SC in 1992, from Tennessee. We love kayaking off the bank, sailing from Keowee Sailing Club, and being amazed with the wildlife and views from the deck or patio at Herons Roost.

Why they chose this property

3 miles from Keowee Sailing Club, this funky, 1960- era A Frame was a gem in the rough;more a “fish camp “ rated property. Perfect for a diy college professor and his family to rescue! Many project opportunities, combined elbow grease of family and contractors, with huge time/sweat equity by the Prof upgraded the rating to a sweet, special and safe waterfront home in the woods. The list of wildlife viewings is amazing: Blue Heron “Tee Ben” roosts under the Bank HaHa, river otters,ospreys,turtles,deer,raccoons,skunks,ducks,kingfishers,birds, snakes, Whipoorwills( loud!), fish, .....

What makes this property unique

10 minutes from Clemson,a private,peaceful,wooded,waterfront getaway with mesmerizing views,plus OFFLINE amenities(Antenna TVs/ no internet or WiFi)and 10 minute-proximity( when you want it) to civilization with grocery and drug stores,Greenville Hospital System Oconee Memorial Emergency Room, entertainment, car repair, home improvement big box stores, Publix, Ingles, and Walmart pick up!
