Lakefront Retreat Near Clemson w/ Private Dock & Pet-Friendly
Your Unforgettable Lakeside Escape with Private Dock & Stunning Views
Welcome to your lakeside oasis! This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is the upper level of a large house, offering incredible panoramic lake views from nearly every room. Step out onto your private, screened-in porch and enjoy breathtaking sunrises, or head down to your large private dock to swim, paddle, and fish. With paddleboards, a fire pit, and a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, you'll have everything you need for the perfect lake vacation.
Inside the Home
Lakefront Screened-In Porch: This is the reason we bought the property, and it's our guests' favorite feature! The spacious screened porch offers ample seating and an outdoor dining table, all with an incredible view of the lake. A smart TV ensures you can enjoy a movie without ever going back inside.
Living Room: A large, comfortable couch and a secondary lounge area provide plenty of space for your group to gather. The smart TV is equipped with a variety of apps for your entertainment, and a separate reading nook by the window is the perfect spot to get away from it all.
Kitchen & Dining: Our fully-stocked "owner's kitchen" is equipped with a gas range and oven, so you can easily prepare any meal. We’ve paid extra attention to detail to ensure you have everything you need, from coffee and cream to sugar, so you can start relaxing the moment you arrive.
Bedrooms:
Bedroom 1 (Master): A spacious king-sized bed, filled with natural light, a walk-in closet, and an in-suite bathroom. The bathroom features a whirlpool jacuzzi tub, a separate shower, and a private washer and dryer for your convenience.
Bedroom 2: Features a comfortable queen-sized bed and a large window facing the front of the home, with plenty of natural and overhead light.
Bedroom 3: Features a king-sized bed with a lofted twin, along with large beanbag chairs for lounging.
Bathrooms: Both bathrooms are large and fully equipped with vanities and tub-showers to ensure all guests feel at home.
Outdoor & Lakefront Living
Large Private Dock: Easily walk out to your private dock for sunbathing, swimming, and fishing.
Water Toys: Explore the serene lake with two kayaks and two paddleboards, available for your use. Life jackets are provided.
Backyard Patio: Each unit has its own gas grill, and you may share a smaller charcoal grill with the downstairs unit. The pergola with a backyard swing is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy your surroundings.
Fire Pit: Gather around the fire pit on the portion of our land that juts out into the lake. We provide firewood and fire starters.
Fishing: The lake is stocked with crappie, large mouth bass, blue gill, and catfish. Please note that it is catch-and-release only, with the exception of catfish.
Important Notes
Access: The house is built on a slope, and several sets of stairs must be used to get down to the lake. The lights will automatically illuminate your path at night.
Gas Fireplace: Please note that the gas fireplace is currently non-functional. We are actively working to restore it.
Boats: Per our HOA guidelines, powered boats are not allowed to be used by anyone other than the owners, and we are not able to rent or lend out our boat.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Lucia Derks

I am originally from Columbia, South Carolina, and I have been escaping to upstate lakes and mountains my entire life. I strive to provide the kind of tranquility mixed with activity that I would personally want on my vacation. This home with serene lake views, a fully stocked kitchen, and large bedrooms with mostly king sized beds provide all of the relaxation needed. The provided kayaks, paddleboards, fishing rods, and noodles help with the sense of adventure, all without leaving the property.
Why they chose this property
Private lake fully stocked with crappie, small mouth bass, blue gill, and catfish. The lake itself is so serene, and it's uncommon to see more than one boat on the lake at any given time.
What makes this property unique
This house is so spacious, much more so than other properties on the same lake. It really provides the sense of calm we can all achieve by feeling like we can be together with our loved ones, but not too crammed together.
