About this property
Jocassee Bungalow | 2 Acre Private Estate | Escape. Unplug. Relax.
Welcome to the Jocassee Bungalow.
Enjoy our beautifully restored mountain bungalow, nestled atop a babbling freshwater spring waterfall. Located next to Devils Fork State Park and a short walk to the beaches and boat ramp of world famous Lake Jocassee.
This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1960s bungalow has been lovingly restored with the discerning traveler in mind. You’ll find all the modern conveniences of a 5-star villa with the privacy of 2 acres and a state park as your backyard.
Sip your coffee on the huge wraparound porch, then explore the mountain stream and discover hidden waterfalls and pools throughout the estate. You’ll find the rare Oconee Bell along the creek bed, wild ginger and more native plants to the Jocassee Gorges region of South Carolina.
Fall asleep to the sounds of a waterfall in the master suite, luxury queen bed. Dual vanities and step-in, subway tiled shower in the master bath.
Another queen bed in the guest room also opens up to the waterfall.
The kids will love their bunkroom. Four twins provide a cozy, fun place to hang out and rest from a long day on the lake.
Our chefs kitchen comes equipped with all you will need to prepare a delicious feast or quick sandwiches for the boat. Comfortable seating in-kitchen and outside on the porch.
WiFi is available throughout the property at the Jocassee Bungalow, although we suggest a completely unplugged experience. If you need to work from home, you'll be all set...just try to relax and don't forget to set your Out Of Office message with your email! Forget about the rest of the world and immerse yourself in nature. Verizon, AT&T and Sprint work fairly well. TV is equipped smartcast.
What about getting on the lake? In partnership with JB Boards, South Carolina’s own most beautifully designed stand up paddleboards, you will find 2 boards included with your stay. Get out there and go for a paddle and experience Lake Jocassee offshore. A truck or large SUV will be best for transporting boards to the lake. Use cam buckle straps when strapping boards to the roof of a vehicle.
We also have recommendations for pontoon and ski boat rentals, must see destinations on the lake, hiking, drive-to day trips and our fav restaurants in the area.

Lake Jocassee
The most pristine lake on the east coast. Jocassee is untouchable. Take your time and explore 7,500 acres and 70+ miles of shoreline. Float up to 9 different lakeside waterfalls. Find your own private beach to kick back and enjoy the splendor of the Jocassee Gorges region of South Carolina.
One of only 2 temperate rain forests in the United States, Jocassee Gorges and the Cascades in Washington state. Incredible wildlife viewing and fishing. Hiking and mountain biking can be found throughout our area.
Devil’s Fork State Park is directly adjacent our property. The entire backyard is state park, very private. Yet, we are only 1/3 of a mile to the beaches and boat ramps. One can walk, ride a bike or drive their car to the park.
Cashiers and the Highlands are a short 45 minute drive through the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.
Seneca and Clemson are also about 40 minutes and Greenville a quick 1:15 from the bungalow.
West Union and Walhalla are the closest towns, about a 15 minute drive.
The Jocassee Outdoor Center is next door to the bungalow and can outfit all your boating/camping/fishing needs.
