The rental was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the gameroom! The lake view could be better if the trees were trimmed up. The path to the lake is way steeper than anticipated and could use some sort of stepping stones. The lake was way down so the dock was propped up on the stairs going down to the beach which was unsafe. The dock itself needs work and cobwebs were everywhere. The host was gracious to give us a partial refund b/c the wifi was down for our whole trip. Overall, it was a good stay.

Thank you for your comments. We like to know what we need to address. Spiders are so common and they literally form overnight after we clean them. As far as the dock being connected to the steps that is a must so that when the lake rises it can move up safely. It goes up and down with the rain. Our path is a little steep and that is something we will put in the description so that guests can be aware. Again, thank you for the comments and I am glad you enjoyed your stay despite the WiFi issues!

Fantastic visit, with a great lakefront experience. The location and space drove this review rating. Positives included plenty of space for everyone, nice lake access, and responsive communication with the property owner. Negatives included unusable grills, a moldy coffee pot, and many bugs in the outdoor spaces.

Gramps Camp Family Gathering at the Lake

Best place we have found for our annual gathering! Enough room for each family to have some privacy and a large space to pile most of the cousins together. There were even 2 portacribs for the youngest babies! With the location right in the lake & a dock for our boat, we spent a lot of playtime in the water. Already looking forward to our next trip!

This was a perfect house for our family! The kids enjoyed their own space in the basement with their own living room area and ping pong table! House had plenty of seating upstairs in the living room area and outside. Beds were comfy and everything was nice and clean. Loved all the Clemson decor as well!

Perfect vacation

My three daughters, husbands and kids vacation together each year. We wanted a lake experience this year and Tiger Den was perfect. The house was spacious for us (13 people). The dock was great! We spent a lot of time on the water. All my daughters thought it was one of our best vacations and the house played a big part of that. We would definitely go there again.

Perfect Clemson Home Away From Home

My family gathered to celebrate my son's graduation from Clemson and had the most wonderful weekend. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of room for all of us, and being on the lake for the weekend was the icing on the cake. Jeanne was super helpful along the way helping me with details so that I could plan. The house is 15 minutes from Clemson University, which was super convenient, as well. Definitely recommend whether you are attending a Clemson event, or just getting away for a lake weekend. As I told Jeanne, this is the perfect home away from home!

Yearly Family Lake Trip

This home was spacious enough for everyone. We had a large group. The air conditioner wasn't cooling the first night and full day, but it seemed to finally catch up. Every room had a fan in it which really helped. It was really hot outside. The owner sent someone to check out the air conditioner. The kitchen had ample utensils and dishes. We had a nice family trip.

Great Lake location

The location is great and the hosts were nice. Our last day to leave was on a holiday and they were gracious with a late check out. My only suggestions to make the property even better would be to find a way to make the basement less musty (which can be hard that close to a lake I know), fix the ping pong table net so it’s better to play on with some newer paddles as a lot in our group love ping pong and I am used to vrbo’s having more kitchen supplies to start with like a roll of paper towels, for example. But overall the property worked great for a short trip to this lake.
