Weekend Getaway

The house was comfortable and clean. We came with friends and brought our wave runners to explore Lake Jocassee. It was very close to the boat ramp and parking was very easy in the driveway.

House was just the right size for us, hope to book it again in the fall. Spent the afternoon on the lake, evenings outside by the fire ring and the screen deck was perfect for a rainy evening.

We had a great stay at Jocassee. House was clean, quiet, and super close to the boat ramps at Lake Jocassee. There was plenty of room for our boat. We even saw a mama bear and her cubs. That was a special treat! We will be back. Lake Jocassee has quickly become our favorite lake!

getaway at the lake

We had a perfect long weekend. The dogs loved the yard, the house met all of our needs and the proximity to the lake was awesome. We couldn't have asked for better weather or the convenience and comfort of the house. When we got off the lake tired and ready to go home and cook dinner, we had everything we needed right there. Thank you so much John.

Great location for Lake Jocassee lovers

This was a quaint little house very close to Jocassee. Our family and another family were able to both fit our boats in the driveway, stayed all day at the lake and grilled out while the kids played in the big back yard in the evenings. A perfect summer trip. Would go back again in a heartbeat.

We wanted to explore Lake Jocassee for the first time and the location simply cannot be beat, just 1 mile from the launch ramp. The house was very clean and well ordered and the beds comfortable. We missed the part about no internet but that's on us. Recommended.
