“Enjoy easy day trips to local wineries in Travelers Rest and the Blue Ridge foothills.”
Our personal favorite is Parker-Binns Vineyard in Mill Spring, North Carolina is about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes from Lake Lyman depending on traffic and your exact route.

It’s a very doable day trip and one of the prettier winery drives from the lake because you head up toward the Tryon foothills and Blue Ridge mountain area.

We stayed over a long weekend to visit relatives. The property was fantastic. Better than even the photos show. It had everything we wanted down to the coffee French Press. There were snacks and a much appreciated bottle of wine waiting on the counter for us, which was a great sight after a long drive. The property was right on the lake with lots of seating for lake views and sunsets. It had kayaks and water accessories which the kids used daily. We loved sitting in the multiple relaxing areas with views of the beautiful lake while the kids swam. The area is quiet and away from the hustle of the city with a lake atmosphere but close enough to get anything you need. The property was very clean and updated. The basement acted as a game room for the kids after dark with many competitive video game sessions. The hosts were easy to get ahold of and very pleasant. This will be our new spot when we visit the in-laws.

Hi! We’re Jeff and Steff

We have a passion for creating welcoming spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories. Whether we’re tackling a home renovation, spending time outdoors, or hosting family and friends, we enjoy turning a house into a place that feels warm and inviting.

When we introduced to this home on Lake Lyman, we knew it was special. The peaceful water, incredible sunsets, and relaxed atmosphere made us fall in love with it right away. We believe it’s one of the Upstate’s hidden gems, and we’re excited to share it with others.

As hosts, we treat every guest the way we’d want to be treated. We take pride in keeping the home exceptionally clean, well-stocked, and full of thoughtful touches to help you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a weekend with friends, we hope you’ll create memories here that last long after your trip ends.

Thank you for choosing our lake home. We can’t wait to host you and hope you’ll love Lake Lyman as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Our connection to Lake Lyman began through a dear friend who originally owned this home. It was our very first experience on this beautiful lake, and from the moment we arrived, we fell completely in love with it.

There is something truly special about this place — a quiet beauty that feels one of a kind and unlike anywhere else. The front porch almost feels as if it’s floating above the water, offering peaceful mornings, unforgettable sunsets, and the kind of stillness that makes you slow down and appreciate where you are.

What makes this lake even more meaningful is the community around it. The neighbors genuinely love and respect the lake, caring for it as though it belongs to each of them personally. There’s a warmth and pride here that you can feel immediately.

Several years later, when we were asked if we would be interested in purchasing the home, we were overjoyed and honored by the opportunity. It felt meant to be.

We’ve never experienced a place more beautiful, peaceful, or restorative than this little jewel on the water — a place that feels just short of heaven.

What makes this property unique

Escape of the crowds and discover our Upstate’s best-kept secret Lyman Lake. Our lakefront retreat offers breathtaking sunset views, peaceful waters, complimentary kayaks, multiple outdoor gathering spaces, and the comforts of a beautifully renovated home—all just minutes from Greenville and Spartanburg. It’s more than a place to stay; it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
