Great spot on Lake Hartwell
We were looking to get away to the lake for a few days and turned out perfect. Lake house was very comfortable, The Lake was very quite and private. The large screened in porch was nice to sit on and relax. Location is close to a lot of state parks which is also great. Highly recommend.

First of many family lake trips!
Our family of 6 had such a wonderful stay! We loved the kayaks, canoe and pedal boat and were grateful for the abundance of life jackets and noodles. The house perfectly matched the description, and the host was communicative and kind. We hope to return next summer and make this our new summer tradition!

Perfect lake house getaway
We loved this house! It was the perfect spot to gather as a family and really spend quality time together. We were there to celebrate our Clemson sonā€™s ring ceremony and my birthday and John and Terri were so kind and had a beautiful cake waiting for us in the fridge! Such a sweet surprise. The pool table was so fun to have and a big hit. And the kitchen was very well supplied with everything we needed to cook any meals. And the back screened in porch was so lovely, for reading, morning coffee, afternoon beverages and listening to all the birds. We would absolutely return, thank you John and Terri!

Relax and Unwind
This was a great place for a family get away. We enjoyed time with our children and grandchildren, ages infant to 10 years old. The house and grounds were safe for children and we enjoyed the screened in porch and dock very much. There was adequate space for us with 5 adults and 2 children.Nice beach towels were provided. I recommend this property if you want something quiet and peaceful on the water.

About the host

Hosted by John & Terri Underwood

Host profile image
We love our Lake House in Seneca so much that we really enjoy sharing it with others. It is very rewarding to get great feedback from guests on what a relaxing and fun stay they have had.

Why they chose this property

Love the peaceful and quiet location off the beaten path, but still only a short ride to Clemson and Seneca. It is nice to sit on the screened in porch with new rocking chairs overlooking the lake and the dock and drink your morning coffee.

What makes this property unique

Private relaxing setting. Great place to relax, unwind and spend time with family and friends.
People have stayed for holidays, to visit and be close to their Clemson students, reunions, fishing tournaments, Clemson football games, girls weekends, guys weekends, to get away from the heat (Florida) to get away from the cold (northern states) and of course primarily for family vacations.
