Graduation Trip

My family absolutely loved our stay! The property was very clean, amazingly well stocked and the lake front location on such a quiet lake was perfect!! My family along with grandparents, aunts, uncles and teens loved the property. It was close enough to Clemson that we could go back and forth for graduation festivities, but far enough away that it felt like a country vacation. We will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful Family Vacation

Whitewater Lake was the most peaceful and beautiful lake. Our kids had a blast on kayaks and paddle boards. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We made homemade ice cream and played ladder golf. Sandra was awesome with all information needed. We had booked this house last year and had to cancel because my husband had Leukemia which led to a stem cell transplant. We were very happy to be able to make this trip with our parents and kids this summer! Thank you Matter Family for sharing your house with us!

Had a 5 year old that was afraid to jump in the water, but was jumping like a pro by the time we left! Plenty of space in Living room for pizza and movie night! Close to larger lakes to take out a pontoon! Could not have asked for a better trip! Will be getting in touch about next year! thanks for the memories!!

Spring break vacation

This is our 3rd stay at this house. My granddaughter who is 5 when asked where she would like to go, immediately yelled "the lake house"! I messaged the host Sandra and their lake house was available. The house has been spotless each visit. Sandra the host provides everything one could need for the lake. Bath needs, beach towels, cooking supplies, grill, kayaks, paddle boat, outdoor games and indoor games. We had a blast just sitting around table with family playing phase 10. I know if you like the lake you will love this place!!

Host profile image
Welcome to our vacation VRBO. Thank you for viewing our lakefront home in South Carolina. We pride ourselves on keeping our home up to date, safe and making sure you have all necessary amenities to make your vacation perfect. There are plenty of towels and washclothes. If you run out of clean towels there is also a full laundry facility with laundry pods and dryer sheets. Shampoo, soap, conditioner and body wash is also provided (individual bottles, hotel size). We also provide starter packs of toilet paper (2per bathroom) and paper towels. Firewood is also provided. This is a beautiful quiet lake, private and serene. Only homeowners and their guests can access Whitewater Lake Fishing and Boating Club. So, welcome and we hope you will feel very much at home here.

Why they chose this property

This lake home is a dream come true for us. We are so excited to be able to share it with you as well. You and your family will love the peace, serenity and the location. Spectacular hiking, state parks and forests await in the Blue Ridge Mountains just a short drive away. Clemson Death Valley is about 30 minutes away as well for football groups coming to the area for a home game. This home sleeps 14 people, 12 adults because the bunks are rated at 150lbs maximum. It is perfect for multi generational families too. There are only 9 steps to get to the walkout terrace level where there is the Family Suite. King bed, bunk beds with a full size and two twin beds. This level also contains the kitchen, and living areas so family members with limited mobility can still enjoy all this home offers including the firepit and the grill. There are two outside dining tables, benches, and rocking chairs for plenty of seating. The view of the lake is spectacular and outside fans keep the bugs away. There is also an adults only screen porch, with darts and comfortable furniture. This is accessed from the Lake Room. For cold days we also have a sunroom, with electric fireplace. There are also 2 gas fireplaces in the terrace level.

What makes this property unique

Private oversized Dock with kayak, pedal boat and water toys. Some life jackets are provided, but feel free to bring your own life jackets to make full use of this fun lake. Spend the day swimming, fishing, floating, kayaking or just lounging. Go for a hike to beautiful waterfalls, such as Whitewater Falls in NC, just 15 minutes away; and numerous state parks, then come back to take a dip in our refreshing lake.The water temperature in the summer runs close to 90 degrees so it is very comfortable. There are steps into the water at the dock as well as a dock ladder. Throw a line in and see if you can catch one of the many types of stocked fish in our lake. Please catch and release except catfish, so everyone can enjoy the fishing.
