Lake Jocassee retreat on two acres!! New hot tub, Devil’s Fork State Park

Come relax in this Upstate, SC paradise!

Gorgeous A-Frame on 2-acres, down the road from Devil's Fork State Park! Wake up to coffee on the balcony, lunch on the gazebo, then jump in the clear blue waters of Lake Jocassee.

2/3 mile from the State Park boat ramp, it's a short drive or a brisk walk away from one of the most beautiful clear lakes in the US. Kayak rentals and boat tours are available from nearby businesses.

Just over an hour from the Greenville-Spartanburg area, and about 30 minutes from Clemson. An hour and a half beautiful mountainous drive from Ashville, NC. The house is located adjacent to Devil's Fork State Park, and guests have access to all the park has to offer. The house is "behind the entrance" to the park, which makes it and the park accessible even when the park is declared "full" by the Rangers.

Please be aware that, like many locations near mountains and lakes, we are “out in the woods.” With that closeness to nature you also will encounter some critters. There are bears, armadillos, etc. on and near the property. Please be especially mindful when bringing pets with you. You’ll also likely encounter smaller creatures such as the seasonal ladybug swarms in Oct-Nov, and “no-see-ums” in the summer. We treat the house the best we can, but the occasional bug or bug family will likely get past our defenses. We do all we can to mitigate this, but want you to be fully aware.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Lake Jocassee. You'll find features such as 1 hot tub and laundry facilities. The holiday home includes amenities such as free WiFi and in-room jetted baths.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 2 bathrooms
  • Free Wi-Fi (speed: 100+ Mbps (good for 1–2 people or up to 6 devices))
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Just a 4-minute walk from Lake Jocassee and 9 minutes by car from Lake Keowee
Lake Jocassee retreat on two acres!! New hot tub, Devil’s Fork State Park offers its guests a hot tub, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Staying here is similar to staying "on property" at a Disney resort - you are a 3 minute drive to kayak, canoe and pontoon rentals at the State Park. Very convenient if you plan on doing any of those activities. The home is a beautiful A-frame house and when we arrived it was well prepared, stocked and extremely clean - I'm an OCD clean-freak and it met my standards.The home is nicely laid out with the master suite on 2nd floor. The property is huge and beautifully landscaped with a fire pit and plenty of lawn to throw the football with kids or let the dogs run. The hot tub was a great feature and provided a nice way to a hard day of paddling or hiking. The outdoor covered gazebo and screened-in patio were used daily - a great way to enjoy a cup of coffee in the AM while you wait for everyone to wake up or read a book. The house had a coffee maker, board games, and extra towels and linens even though we brought our own out of habit. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning cooled the home nicely. Tons to do in the area EXCEPT come prepared with food to cook. There are no grocery stores or restaurants nearby. Closest supermarket is in Pickens 30 mins away. Your closest option for food is Habanero's Mexican Restaurant 15 mins away near Salem (actually a good restaurant - don't judge a book by its cover). Other than that- no other restaurants save for a nearby brewery that has a food truck sometimes. Great stay!!! Thank you! We will return.

First of all, it is a very lovely home. Clean, quiet and so convenient to the lake. The problem we had was those big windows in the front of the house don't all have shades and in July/August you can't sit on the couch, late afternoon, without being blinded or watch TV due to the glare, not to mention the solar gain it creates. Also, we were disappointed that there was no icemaker. Since we were there during the hottest part of summer, we were not able to enjoy the hot tub or the other outdoor amenities which I'm sure would be nice earlier in the year or in September or October.

A private getaway

Our week at Lake Jocassee was the perfect opportunity to unplug and rest. We were able to visit a few of the local parks. The views are incredible! We rented a boat just a few minutes from the house and explored all of the lake’s waterfalls. The property is a short drive to the beach. Michael was incredibly responsive and helpful. The neighbors were lovely as well; although there is plenty of space between homes. The property was beautifully kept. Hot tub, fire pit, grill, and family friendly games on site. Highly recommend this spot; we are already planning another visit.

Fabulous time at Lake Jocassee retreat

We had a wonderful time at Michael’s home. It was sparkling clean , beautiful and cozy. It had everything we needed to cook meals but we decided to enjoy meals out at local restaurants .We hiked during the day and came home in the evening to enjoy the hot tub and a wonderful night’s sleep in the super comfie beds! We drove into Greenville one day to bike on The Swamp Ranbit Trail and have dinner. We will definitely rent this home again! Thank you Michael for being an outstanding host

Fantastic Jocassee Get Away

My family and I stayed at Michael’s property over the week of July 4th with our dogs. We had the best experience! The location is great - only 5 minutes from the state park. The property had plenty of space to spread out and relax. We will definitely be rebooking in the future.

Lake Jocassee getaway

This house was very clean. Definite pride in ownership. Michael and Beverly made themselves available but this place was so well staged, we didn't need to bother them for anything. I would stay here again. P.S. Love the labeling!!! Very helpful!

Great 4th of July Trip

This house has everything you need for a cozy family and friends stay. The lot is beautiful and the lake is just a quick drive away. The neighbors put on a great July 4th fireworks show we could watch from the front porch. Only minor drawback is the busy main road in front of the house. Also, the downstairs beds are not as comfy as the master. Overall we were delighted with our stay even with rain, and would return again.

Lake stay

We are visiting the area because we are considering a move to SC. The house and property are beautiful and well appointed. We were a party of 4 but 8 people could easily occupy the same space. The owners are great. They accommodated us at the last minute which was a big help. We were able to walk to Jocassee Lake. The water is so clean. The swimming was so refreshing. Great stay. We will definitely return.
