We really enjoyed our stay. The property is very easy to access and walk around due to the flat areas which was important to us with aging parents with some disabilities. We enjoyed the cabin feel and how big the porch was to hang out and eat dinner overlooking the water. The big porch made it easy to have eyes on the kids at all times. Communication was excellent also. Will definitely be back!

Favorite Family Vacay
We’ve stayed at this house 3 times, and my kids love it! They enjoy the covered porch and swimming off the dock. My husband has a boat, and the boat ramp is nearby. I really enjoyed shopping at the antique stores and gift shops in Ridgeway. The house is clean, supplied with everything we needed, and the owners were accessible if we needed anything. We definitely hope to come back!

BEAUTIFUL LAKE CABIN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
We've rented many houses on Lake Wateree. This is the nicest house we've rented in this area. Even better, this isn't a house, it's a cabin, and very nice. It's spacious and very clean.It's two stories. The upstairs bedrooms have balconies overlooking the lake.The yard is immaculate, easy to walk around. There's an outdoor firepit, charcoal grill, and a large porch. Beautiful views of the lake. My husband had some great fishing from the dock. The owner is a very nice person. Highly recommended, and we can't wait to return. Mendoza family.

One of my favorites
The house and lot are a great fit for our group. We spend a lot of time on the water, but when it’s time to stop, we want to relax in the shade. Several boat launches are close by and the dock has plenty of room for our boat. Water depth can vary, so check with Duke Power for the latest information. Plenty of parking for your vehicle as well. Deer visit the neighbors each night at 3am, so if you’re staying upstairs and facing the yard, shut your blinds. Motion sensor lights may wake you up. I enjoyed the deer, but you may not. HaOwners are great. We have rented the home on multiple occasions and will be back this Fall.
