2025 Fourth of July Holiday on the Lake

A small family group joined us from Newberry to celebrate the 4th on the lake. We had a very relaxing weekend. The accommodations were nice and comfortable. The fireworks on the lake were fantastic. Neighbors were quite friendly.

Great place for sibling reunion

6 seniors found this place to be perfect for 4 days of sharing old memories and making new ones. All of the rooms are spacious, doorways wide enough for wheelchair, kitchen more than adequately equipped for food prep, and neighborhood quiet for sleeping. Loved the gorgeous sunsets too

PERFECT LAKE GETAWAY

The large open space and layout of the home was just as seen on the site. Plenty of space, lots of parking, and beautiful location. Our group had an amazing time. We were not very successful at fishing but we swam, tubed, went on boat rides, rode the wave runners, kayaked, fished, grilled, and sunbathed. Looked as if lots of others in the area enjoyed our love of water sports and the good fishing spots were just up the creek mouth where the houses stop. We have no complaints at all. Awesome stay.
