Lake Jocassee ~ Easy Lake Access ~ Loved By Our Guests ~ Pet Friendly

Lake Jocassee ~ Easy Lake Access ~ Loved By Our Guests ~ Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent
"Make sure to bring any food/groceries with you! The closest thing felt hours away (obviously it wasn't but on vacation it felt that way). However, that was the beauty of it. Surrounded by nature not people! Renting a boat and jet skis were effortles. And the best part, it's a very short drive to park. Definitely not walking distance. Very clean and comfy. If I could say the only negatives were spiders covered the porches and walkways. A little curbside update might be nice to align with the photos but the overall function was good."

Jocassee Valley cabin- Free Park Pass

Jocassee Valley cabin- Free Park Pass

8/10 Good
"Overall we had a good stay. The cabin itself was clean, towels were provided in the bathroom. Check-in/out was contactless and went smoothly. The cabin is on the same property as two other rental buildings, which wasn't a problem for us. Be aware that the queen bed is extremely soft (I'm usually not picky but I'm glad I was the only one on it). I tried to contact the host to double check that I had the cancellation/refund date correct (I was struggling to find it again after I booked) due to weather concerns and I got an AI response. I was not going to be upset if someone had just replied "it is too late for a refund", but I didn't even get a human, just basically AI spitting my words back at me. This is their business and not just their personal vacation joke they are renting out, so I would expect a bit more. Overall decent for a budget stay."

BEAUTIFUL Newly Built Retreat w/Private Marina Boat Slip at Upper Lake Keowee!!!

BEAUTIFUL Newly Built Retreat w/Private Marina Boat Slip at Upper Lake Keowee!!!

10/10 Excellent
"We had the best time staying here! From the moment we booked, Ray was incredibly responsive and helpful. Before we even arrived, he answered all of our questions, and after check-in he was quick to help us figure out where to park our boat. He explained the best marina to launch from and gave us clear directions on where to park our trailer and what slot to dock our boat, which made everything so much easier.The house is even more beautiful in person and was spotless when we arrived. We had two families coming together from North Carolina and Illinois — a total of 10 adults and 1 child — and everyone had plenty of space to spread out without ever feeling crowded.The neighborhood’s private marina is about a 5 minute walk from the house. There are a few hills along the way, so be prepared for a little walk, but it’s absolutely worth it for the convenience and beautiful setting.One of the coolest parts of our stay was seeing wildlife around the neighborhood—we spotted a black bear outside the gate and several deer during our trip!We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family vacation and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

Jocasee Landing Lake Cottage - 1 mi from boat ramp!

10/10 Excellent
"My family loves this cabin!! It’s so close to the boat ramp! The home is charming!! It has what you need after a day at the lake. It’s an older home so don’t expect the glitz of beach rentals or expensive lake rentals. I personally love older homes as my home was built in 1932 so I appreciate this lovely cabin. There’s plenty of room and the big tv and dining table make spending time with family so much fun. The beds are comfortable. Make sure you bring everything you need as there isn’t a Walmart or grocery store very close. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes are terrible but that’s everywhere in SC. This is my go to home at Lake Jocassee but don’t let anyone know as this home is such a great little secret and I don’t want it to be booked when I want to stay. The owner is great and very responsive!!! We will be back soon I hope!Thank you for sharing your home Marshal!!’"
