~A~ Little Bit of Heaven on Lake Lanier - Convenient to TIEC

The Oar House is an awesome place no matter the time of year. It's great in the summer for water play and relaxing. The view is spectacular, and you can swim right from the deck. It's beautiful in the fall when the autumn leaves are reflecting on the lake. Not far to a Clemson football game and then back to the lake to enjoy the autumn weather. In the winter it's just peaceful and quiet, and it's a great time for hiking and biking. This newly renovated home sits right on the lake. You have to see it to believe it! There is a living room and dining with a fully equipped kitchen all open to each other.

This house has three levels. The main level suite has a queen bed and the upper level suite has a queen bed, a daybed in the bedroom and a sitting room with a sofa that could sleep one. (It is not a sleeper sofa). Both suites have private baths. Both bedrooms have absolutely awesome views of the lake. The lower level has 2 bedrooms and a full bath. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other bedroom has a double bed and 2 twin beds Both rooms have vanity sinks.

There are three wonderful decks to relax on and eat on if desired. There is also an eating bar in the living area with six bar stools and the dining room table seats 8 comfortably.

Perfect lake getaway

We had a multigenerational group that enjoyed the house and location. It’s our second stay and each time gets better-Coffee on the porch, Swimming off the dock, games around the big table and easy access to Landrum and Tryon. We already look forward to next year.

Great house and beautiful location

This is our second time staying here, and we rented it again for obvious reasons: house is clean and is in a beautiful location and the owners are responsive and helpful. It really makes the trip worry free and tons of fun. Highly recommend.

Great Gathering Place

The house was very clean, well stocked. It offered many opportunities to either lounge on the deck and enjoy the beautiful scenery or play games. If desired, there was hiking, water activities available. The homey atmosphere added to the ambiance and would certainly consider renting again.

Our group was in town for a nearby wedding. We really enjoyed sitting on the big porch and sitting on the dock. House was perfect for what we needed and expected. Would like to go back when we did not have to leave for a wedding. Very peaceful spot

Peaceful, Comfortable House - Great Layout

This was a perfect place for our multi-generation family gathering, although maybe not a perfect fit for all such families - going up and down steps is a requirement for anyone staying here. The location is located between Fletcher NC and Greeneville SC, and is near several popular wedding venues, besides lots of other attractions, natural and man-made! The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and the layout allowed everyone to have some separate sleeping and bathroom space. Parking and check-in were easy, and communication with the owners was great.

Gorgeous home on Lake!

Family with teen kids. Rained most of the time we were there but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with some board games.. We used the pedal boat and canoe a couple of times. Enjoyed a visit from a large moon-moth, the rare majestic bald eagle and 2 families of geese in the water. Tried fishing but no bites…caught and released one sunfish. Sitting outside on the deck was heavenly….u can hear yourself think!! Owner was very responsive to our inquires and genuinely ensures a good customer experience. Hoping to be back soon.

Girls’ Golf Group

Firstly and most important, our hosts were very quick to respond when I had questions about the area and about the house. We were a group of 7 senior ladies playing in a two-day golf tournament about 15 minutes down the road. We found the “Oar House” to be very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. It was perfect for us with each having our own bed and the 3 1/2 bathrooms were great so we could all get going at the same time in the morning to be at the course for our tee times. The large parking area nicely accommodated our 5 vehicles since we were not all from the same place. Being on the lake was very relaxing after a hard day at tournament golf. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to use the boats as our schedule was rather tight with the golf tournament and associated activities. We dined at Hare and Hound in Landrum the first night - it was great! Then we got pizza from Side Street the next night That was wonderful! Our hosts recommended both places and they were correct! I would like to go stay there again when I didn’t have anything else to do - just a vacation with no assignments. Being able to explore the Landrum and Tryon areas would be at the top of the list of “to do’s”. And then, of course, perhaps check out the other golf venues in the area. This would be a good base to explore up into NC and around the top of SC. So glad we chose the “Oar House”.

Very nice overall

My filters were 4 beds, pets allowed, waterfront with a boat- this property checked every box. There were some minor things that are not complaints, just comments like WAY too much stuff, I felt a bit claustrophobic (ex. there are no less than 75 chairs/seating at the property -not exaggerating) but the rooms and decks are not big, so everything is just in the way. This must alway be a problem because our check in instructions included rules for rearranging the furniture. 😉 The air conditioner filters are all dirty and if cleaned would improve the smells significantly. Finally, people should know you will not have proper cell service or WiFi. They have a landline presumably for safety, but it rang constantly (35 missed calls during our 3 nights) and there is only a tiny basic tv in a few rooms (no streaming, etc) noteably the downstairs bedrooms do not have tv and the upstairs tv is about the size of an iPad. This is an unplugged vacation for sure, which would be fine if you plan for that. We had to drive into town every day to check email and check on a family member who had surgery. My only complaint is that it was I expected, and we could have planned better. That said, the lake was fantastic and we will travel to the lake again!
