This idyllic location was a "home away from home" for our family vacation! We spent wonderful, relaxing hours on the spacious deck and dock (our favorites!); both outside and in the cabin we had everything we needed and more. The host, Scott, was super communicative, very hospitable, and helpful and accommodating to us in every way. Would love to stay here again!

Not as clean as I would have liked but we made do. There was a blanket on one of the downstairs beds that was not clean at all…Scott was very accommodating and easy to work with. The old gas grill had died so a new one was installed while we were at the Masters on Thursday. The lake view was nice but not quite as beautiful as in the pictures (plus they are clearly in a drought—the lake was down probably 6-10’) and as far as we could tell, there was no dock associated with the house. The porch though was really great—lots of seating. We spent the majority of our time out there once it warmed up. Large picnic table held all of us for meals. The house itself was tight for 7 adults and a 4-year-old but we made it work. It would be great for a smaller family.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Thompson

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Scott & Laura Thompson! We’re a family of five from Effingham County, GA, and after nearly two decades of running our own business in the trades, we decided it was time for a new adventure. Real estate felt like the perfect fit—something we could enjoy together while creating spaces for others to relax, recharge, and make memories.

We homeschool our kids, which gives us the freedom to travel and spend time exploring as a family. This property is extra special to us because it represents the beginning of a new chapter—one we’re excited to share with you. We hope you’ll love it here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

My wife’s family has been vacationing at Clarks Hill for generations. She grew up spending summers here—swimming, skiing, and tubing with her family—and always dreamed of one day owning a lakefront cabin. When the opportunity came along, we knew it was meant to be.

Some of our most cherished memories have been made at this lake, and we look forward to creating many more with our family and friends in this cabin. We hope you’ll enjoy it just as much and make your own lasting memories here!

What makes this property unique

One of the things we love most about this cabin is how much there is for families to do right outside the door. From the deck, you can spot deer, birds, and other wildlife, or head down to the water for a day of swimming, tubing, skiing, or just cruising the lake.

The community offers plenty of room for hiking and biking, and just a few miles away you’ll find a brand-new 50-mile trail system perfect for family adventures on foot, bike, or even kayak. Fishing is fantastic less than half a mile from the cabin, and for those who love to golf, you’ll be close to some of the best family-friendly courses around.

Whether your crew is into water sports, trail exploring, or simply relaxing together in a beautiful natural setting, this cabin is the perfect base for family fun.
