About this property

Lake Wateree Retreat,Private Dock, Fire Pit,Kayaks,Sunset glow views, sleeps 6

  • Enjoy a tranquil Lake Wateree vacation staying at this private waterfront retreat, where golden evening light reflects across the water and twilight is best spent around the fire pit, dining on the elevated covered deck, or just relaxing, while overlooking the beautiful lake vista. Spend your days on the water, fishing off the dock, swimming or kayaking, or should you prefer, lounging in the backyard, playing a game of corn hole, and watching the ospreys, ducks, geese, and of course, the herons that inspired our retreats name. A thoughtfully furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bath home, featuring a king bed in the primary, and queen bed in the guest bedroom, and a trundle sofa/bed in the sunroom that provides a wonderful lake view from indoors, and a comfortable bed for 2 kids or adults.There’s even a folding twin bed available should an additional bed be needed.This home and property is ideal for couples, families, fishing trips, and quiet lake escapes. It has a fully equipped kitchen with new major appliances, granite countertops, an open space concept into the living room, that has a 65” smart tv for entertainment, and WiFi/internet. There are also smart TVs in both of the bedrooms. For guests safety and property protection, exterior security cameras monitor the driveway and parking, front entrance, backyard, dock, and private boat ramp areas. No cameras are located in the home or sitting areas on the covered deck. The dock has an attached floating dock for boat tie ups, water and electricity available on the dock for rinsing off the boats and recharging trolling motor batteries. The pier to the dock extends 80’ for access to deeper water. The fire pit has comfortable Adirondack chairs and a propane stove for those chilly late afternoons and evenings. Although the sun sets behind the trees, the glow on the water and clouds provide showy displays of light and color for a peaceful transition between day and night. There’s very little light pollution to interfere with stargazing, so you can enjoy the sky view as well.

The home/ property was exactly as described. Clean and beautifully decorated. It was very family-friendly with tons of room. The host went above and beyond with all of the many extras provided during our stay. We took our pontoon boat but fishing was excellent right off the end of the dock. My 2 favorite times were first thing in the morning, drinking coffee and taking in the scenery and the afternoon relaxing in the porch swing. This home is definitely one we’ll be coming back to.

This place is awesome. Quite nostalgic, too, if you grew up in a simple lake house that had wall papered bathrooms and radio speakers in the ceiling. It’s very cute and peaceful. Perfect for fishing and swimming. The main attraction of this house is the sunroom, which has a wonderful view of the lake. The next best attraction is the private dock, off of which we caught several fish during our stay. Oh and also the kayaks LOL. Okay maybe it is all the main attraction. Has everything you need for a good time. Couldn't have asked for much more
