Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
“Pool is large and clean...House was clean and beds were comfortable. House was stocked! Towels, soaps, games, puzzles, TP, paper towels, kitchen essentials, detergents, pool floats, life jackets, etc. You name it, they have it. Just pack your belongings and food.” - Trisha
“Ellen was a wonderful host! She was very quick to answer any questions we had while making our reservations, and after we checked in, she was quick with an answer to a question we had.” - Jason
“...had a blast swimming in the pool, jumping off the dock into the lake, fishing, and more. We didn’t want to leave! We had everything we needed and more.” Rita
☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆
Adjacent to the family room, the eat-in kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, dishes, utensils, and appliances. Enjoy meals at the charming vintage dining table for four, or use the larger table in the family room. You’ll also appreciate the lovely views of the back deck, pool, backyard, and lake while you dine.
☆☆ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS ☆☆
The master suite features a luxurious ceiling-mount walk-in rain shower and a king-sized bed, along with a large closet. A porta-crib is also available for infants. The jack and jill bathroom, shared by two of the bedrooms, includes a tub/shower combination. Each bedroom is furnished with a comfortable king-sized bed, and one bedroom offers additional sleeping options with a twin-over-king bunk bed (150-pound limit) and a twin pull-out trundle. The other bedroom has a dedicated work space. All bedrooms have ample closet space for guests.
☆☆ LOUNGE SPACES ☆☆
Step into the inviting warm wood-paneled family room, where you’ll find a large dining table, ample seating, and a large smart TV. Whether you’re playing games with the family, relaxing in a recliner, listening to a catchy tune or cheering on the game on TV, this cozy space is perfect for unwinding and enjoying time together.
☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
While outdoor adventures await nearby, the home provides its own private retreat. Step through either of the two back doors to the deck, featuring a mounted Firestick TV, dining table, gas grill, and lounge chairs by the pool. Float in the private pool, relax on the back porch's rocking chairs or enjoy a quiet evening by the firepit. A short, easy walk leads to the dock, ideal for lake lounging and sunset views. With various seating areas for morning coffee or evening drinks and lots of daytime fun with a rowboat, paddleboat, paddle board, kayak, fishing and swimming, there's plenty to enjoy right here.
Note: We have three exterior security cameras: one on the carport (driveway/front walkway), one on the back roof (walkway from pool to lake), and one on the dock to monitor the lake area.

About the host
Hosted by Ellen Brandt
Welcome! We’re Kirk & Ellen. We live in Rock Hill, SC and have always dreamed of having lakefront property. We love to get away and relax in our cozy hideaway! We are so happy to share our little slice of lakeside paradise with you.
Why they chose this property
We love our cozy and quiet cove with a large lake area to play in! The views are magnificent from the bay windows in the kitchen and bedroom, from the deck on the back of the home and from the dock on the water.
What makes this property unique
Our property is one of a kind with a large, private salt water pool. I always say, "The pool is for those who like to look at the lake, but not swim in it!" Haha! The pool has a shaded side and a sunny side, so there is room for everyone!
