Quick getaway
The wife and I took our kayaks and had a great time on Lake Winyah. The house sits right on the lake so it’s very convenient. We caught so many fish. Pike, Walleye, Lg mouth bass, Sm mouth bass, bluegill, bullhead and a crappie. I literally made three casts off the dock and landed a 23” pike. We will be back

Cute and Clean…Beautiful Views
Newer place with great amenities close to town. Sat on back deck and dock to enjoy the views. Also, had fun fishing from the dock. Caught 4 different species in about an hour, including a decent Walleye from the dock.

Relaxing stay
My husband and I had a very relaxing vacation. The house very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We loved being on the lake and enjoyed fishing in our boat as well as off the dock, watching the activity on the lake and sitting by the fire in the evenings.

Beautiful Cabin Awesome Hosts
A brand new cabin that the owners spared no expense building and furnishing. Plenty of parking, and a great dock for a boat. Outside water and electricity.. By far the best cabin my family has rented..
