About this property

Log Cabin with large deck and dock in best location on the Lake!

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP AS OF 3/28/22

3 Bedroom 2 Bath and Loft with sleeper sofa and futon.

We have replaced all beds and mattresses, living room furniture and many other items. We have built a brand new covered deck which more than doubled the living space with new patio furniture.

Enjoy high speed WiFi, smart TVs in living room, master bedroom and loft, both standard and Keurig coffee makers, and other great amenities.

Our Cabin is located on Lake Strom Thurmond also known as Clarks Hill which is the largest man made lake East of the Mississippi. It is a great location for a weekend getaway or vacation. In addition to the lake we have 50 miles of hiking and biking trails, 3 lakeside golf courses, great fishing and hunting. This area is suitable year round. Summer has the advantage of warm water in the lake for water sports but the other seasons have the advantage of pleasant temperatures for all other activities.

If you have a boat you can launch it just a few blocks away from the cabin and dock it at our covered dock. If you do not have a boat the nearby Savannah Lakes Marina rents new model pontoon boats..

The cabin is a beautiful two story log cabin in a wilderness setting sitting on 300 ft of shoreline. It is 1500 square ft, with 3 bedrooms, a loft and 2 baths equipped with full amenities. It also has a large wrap around deck with view that extends over several miles of lake.

Golfing is available at several outstanding golf courses nearby, fishing within a half mile of the cabin is outstanding and there is a 50 mile long hiking, biking, kayaking trail only a few miles away. Whether you are looking for water sports, golf, a great place for long walks or bike rides, or just a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy this is a great place to spend a week or a weekend. And for Masters fans the cabin is about a 40 minute drive from the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, GA.

Blackstone griddle and a gas grill are available for use as well as a gas fire pit. Just bring your propane tank.

There is a large covered dock but no lights or electrical outlets per Army Corp of Engineers. There is also a slight incline to the dock that may not be suitable for some people.

Great Lakeside Getaway

We were very impressed with the beautiful wraparound porch and spent most of our time there overlooking the lake. Beautiful property that was even prettier than advertised. Great to have ready access to our boat with the private dock. Five stars all around!

Cutest little cabin

Loved our stay here! Super cute wood cabin. We spent all of our time on the spacious back porch area. Very relaxing and plenty of parking. The dock was the best and perfect for our parking our large pontoon boat. The owner was very responsive via text. Plenty of plates, cups, cookingware and left over spices/coffees from previous guests.

Repeat guests….great again!

This was the second year our group of 4 senior golfers has stayed here while golfing at local courses and attending The Masters. Our experience was great again. Nice rustic cabin with everything we needed. Hopefully, we can do it again next year. I really wish the owner would replace the upstairs futon with a single bed though! Thanks!

Great Outdoor Deck

A cool day and a rainy day were just as great as the sunny day thanks to the outdoor living space on the deck. The patio fire pit on the huge covered deck allowed grilling and peaceful views of the lake. The kitchen was small but not a problem for our 3 night stay. Check in/check out was easy. We also loved the dock. We used the neighborhood ramp to unload but the nearby Elijah Clark State Park ramp to load.

Yearly Family lake trip

The location of this property for us is great. It’s close to Savannah lakes, Elijah Clark and Soap creek. The back porch is probably our favorite part. We actually thought about sleeping there a couple nights. Great Place!!

Very enjoyable

Owners of the property are super helpful and accommodating. The porch and dock was amazing! We had our boat but much prefered to hang out on the dock and swim. Only downfall was cameras on the property so we felt like we were being watched all the time.

Wonderful time spent on the lake

This is our 2nd stay at this home and the owners continue to make fabulous upgrades to the property. The new deck was amazing. Clean and comfortable home, close to several boat ramps. New dock is great! Our family has enjoyed both of our stays here and look forward to returning again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Thompson

Host profile image
Hi! We are Scott & Laura Thompson. We are a busy family of five, who currently reside in Effingham County, GA. We've been self-employed in the trades for about 18 years. Since the recent sale of our company, we've set our sites on real-estate investments. After many years of dealing with the daily stresses of a trades company, we wanted something that we could have fun with. We believe this new venture will allow more free time to spend with our kids, and be something that the whole family can enjoy. Being a homeschool family allows us the opportunity to be able to travel whenever our hearts desire. We hope that this property will be our first of many!

Why they chose this property

My wife's family has been vacationing at Clarks Hill for generations. She grew up swimming, skiing, and tubing here every summer with her family. She has always dreamt of one day owning her own lake front cabin. So when the opportunity presented itself, we couldn't pass it up. The memories made at the lake, are some of the most precious memories that will last a lifetime! We look forward to making many wonderful memories with our family and friends in this cabin, and we hope that you will do the same!

What makes this property unique

All kinds of wildlife are viewable from the deck of the cabin. Hiking and biking in the development where the cabin is located is great but if you are a real enthusiast a new 50 mile long hiking, biking, kayaking trail has recently been completed a few miles away. Some of the best fishing on Lake Thurmond is less than half a mile from the cabin and if you are a golfer you will not find any nicer golf courses than those accessible from our cabin.
