The Lake Lodge on Whitewater Lake!

Both Whitewater Lake and this two story, spacious and charming home are hidden gems of Upstate South Carolina with great access to Lake Jocassee as well as the North end of Lake Keowee. Nestled at the foot of the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of larger lakes in the area, the waters of Whitewater Lake are only accessible via private residences. The Lake Lodge offers a number of ways to enjoy Whitewater Lake waterfront: fish from the dock (no license required!); watch a sunset from the yard swing overlooking the water; relax by the firepit at the water's edge, or savor a meal overlooking the lake from the upper and lower back deck.Entering through the front door of the home you will instantly be drawn in by the view of the mountains and the lake from the kitchen, living room, and screened in back deck. The large, well stocked kitchen with plenty of counter space, 4 seats at the bar and table with 4 seats provides comfortable seating to enjoy meals with your friends and family. The screened in back deck has plenty of seating, a TV and an egg chair swing to relax and unwind. The large main bedroom on the upper level features a King size bed. The attached bathroom has a large soaking tub, washer dryer and stand up shower. The second bedroom features a Queen size bed. The third bedroom upstairs offers a twin sized bunk over a King sized bed and two large bean bag chairs! Perfect for the kids in your group!
As you exit out of the door off of the upstairs kitchen, you walk onto the covered deck down the outdoor stairs that lead to the lower parking area, stairs leading to the lake, and the door to the lower level. PLEASE NOTE, there is no indoor stairwell from the upper level to the lower level. You must use the outdoor stairway. 
Entering into the lower level the long hallway leads to the open living and kitchen area. The very large downstairs fully equipped kitchen offers a second place to gather, cook and enjoy meals with your family. The kitchen bar provides seating for 4 and the table in the kitchen provides seating for 6. The large sliding door leads out onto the lower patio where you can enjoy the large bench swing, yard games, steps to the water and large outdoor dining table. The downstairs main bedroom offers a King size bed. The second bedroom offers a twin bunk over a King size bed. The downstairs bathroom, with views of the lake, offers a tub/shower combination, separate water closet.

This home and the surrounding area offer no shortage of ways to explore and relax including:
Lounging on the egg chair swing and dining on the large screened in porch.
Building a fire in the fire pit next to the lake.
Driving and/or hiking to one of the many waterfalls in the area.
Enjoying the water by swimming, or relaxing on the dock, or fishing (catch and release only, per HOA Guidelines).
Driving to Clemson, Cashiers, Highlands, or Greenville.
Visiting other lakes in the area - Keowee, Jocassee, or Hartwell.
Rafting nearby white-water.
Witnessing the beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
Experiencing local dining.

Lake House
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, and there were some fun amenities for us. We especially loved the kayaks! We also did some fishing and caught fish several times. We brought two dogs and they also enjoyed the large spaces to run and play.

Very large property
I loved that we had plenty of bedrooms. My adult children loved the lake and swam, rode kayaks, and used the paddleboard. Comfy beds and pillows too.

This property was absolutely incredible and it made for a wonderful birthday weekend. The listing was straightforward and accurately showed all of the features and amenities the house offered. The views of the lake and the fire pit were an extra bonus! The house was spotless and extremely roomy! The decorations were adorable too! I would highly suggest using this property and look forward to a trip back in the near future!

Peaceful Lake House - Wonderful Experience
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. The lake house is surrounded by water on one side and the forest on the other which is extremely relaxing. I would highly recommend this property given the cleanliness, location, lake, landscaping details, the two areas of the home that are almost like separate apartments, and especially the kindness of Jill and staff. We all felt comfortable and quite happy during our stay.

Work trip gone wrong
I made this reservation for a company retreat for my law firm staff and to attend a small conference taking place near the lake house. When we arrived on Friday, the wi-fi was not working and though we tried to communicate with the property manager via VRBO, the messages would not go through because there is no cell phone service in most parts of the house. I was able to get a message through to the property manager the next day who suggested resetting the router and the reset did not work. As a result of having no internet service and no cell phone service, 2 people arranged alternative lodging arrangements and another person went home early Saturday morning. We were planning on having a small get-together after the conference (approved professional gathering prior to booking), but we ended up having to cancel because we could not use wifi to work, stream music or stream TV. The house was beautiful, but the lack of internet service, as necessary as it is for a work gathering, really affected our plans and caused us to cancel the plans we had for our company retreat. You can also expect to load the dishes, start a load of laundry, take all the covers off the beds, clean out the fridge, take out the trash at the end of your trip, which I think is usual with these type of rental properties. I reached out to the hosts via email, but did not receive any response from them over since September. I was hoping things would be made right, but unfortunately, they have not communicated back.

Cute House on a Quiet Lake
Overall, the house is cute and the lake is pretty. There were definitely some small things that would make the property even better like having more supplies like paper products and cleaning supplies for guests, and some more seating on the dock. The basement apartment is quite musty and may benefit from a dehumidifier but otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Lakehouse for a Large Family
Jill and the Clemson Vacation Rentals team are fantastic hosts. This is a beautiful lakehouse perched on a hill overlooking Whitewater Lake. Jill was very responsive throughout the booking / check-in process any time we had questions. The house is very clean and well maintained. Everything worked as expected and the rules were clear and reasonable. We had no issues throughout our stay and would happily visit this property again.
