This property was outstanding! The home is so beautiful and so beautifully designed and decorated. The layout is incredible. There are so many bedrooms and bathrooms all spread out throughout that there is plenty of space for a large family. It’s also very quiet, we slept great every night. It had every amenity you could ever think of.

Exceptional stay! The host was wonderful. I messaged at midnight expecting a reply the next day when the neighborhood briefly lost power. She responded immediately. Everything was clean and the view was amazing. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Honestly, I wish we’d had more time to spend there.

Gordon & Kathy Leopard -Owners. We are from the Aiken SC area. We enjoy the cabin & the lake so much. We are semi-retired and come up as often as possible. We hope you will enjoy your stay here also. Our 6 granddaughters love the lakehouse. So much fun!

Why they chose this property

This is a warm log cabin with beautiful sunsets. Waterfront & dock swimming & fishing. It's perfect for 3 couples or a small family retreat. Very romantic setting. Great for kids. We have enjoyed it so much with our family & friends. Sleeps 14.

What makes this property unique

The views from the upstairs & downstairs porches are magnificent. Porches are shaded and we use them in the spring, summer & fall. We have a cozy wood burning stove that is so nice during the fall & winter. The family table seats 8. Also a table for 4 on adjoining porch. Nice walking area around Landford Circle. Fire pit with 4 adirondack style chairs. Gazebo has nice benches to enjoy the sunsets or fishing or coffee in the morning.
