About this property

Amazingly Serene Mountain Get Away

In the land of waterfalls located at the Cherokee Foothills, there is a quaint mountain cottage nestled in the Jocassee Wilderness. Devil’s Fork State Park is 0.7 mile from the doorstep. The front porch has 2 rockers and a swing where deer can be seen walking through property. The back of the house has a screened and open air porch to relax, romance, and create family memories for a lifetime. The secluded home has outstanding views of the unspoiled wilderness for all seasons. The only lights seen at night are the stars and the sounds of crickets and tree frogs fill the air. Devils Folk has various picnic pavilions, multiple boat ramps with sufficient parking for boats of all sizes. No park pass provided. Breath taking Lake Jocassee is less than 1 mile, great for boating, tubing and skiing. Numerous islands accessed by water. There are quiet nearby paths for walking, biking, hiking or meandering. The endless miles of wilderness facilitate hunting and fishing for the outdoorsman.

Serene setting

We spent a quiet Thanksgiving weekend celebrating the joys of family time with home-cooked food surrounded by a pastoral setting. Our place was clean and comfortable with plenty of activities near Lake Jocassie.

Wonderful stay

The house was amazing. There was so much attention to detail- from a well stocked kitchen, games, books, comfortable furniture and beds, extra blankets and basic stocked items. If you forgot something she had it there. It was super clean and cozy. Close to lake, waterfalls, fishing and hiking. Would highly recommend this property.

Peaceful location!

The house was a perfect set up for our group. We loved the downstairs room! The pool and dock were great too. And the location could not be beat!! The only comment was it needed some maintenance to the sliding doors, hard to open, ventilation in the kitchen, fire alarm went off whenever we cooked, and wood on deck in need of repair!

Perfect getaway close to landing

Great place to stay and relax, cozy, owner communication was great! FYI if you have a large boat the driveway is steep, owner has chocks for wheels ready. Wouldn’t hurt to have an additional set. Will definitely visit again! God bless!

Amazing

The home was clean and had everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. The privacy and location to the dock was unbelievable. Really appreciate the quick responses from Michelle and the park pass. The bathrooms were fully stocked with anything you may have forgotten. We cant wait to return!! The lake was truly a paradise.

Lake Jocassee Anniversary Getaway

Property was very Clean and well stocked with amenities. Location was premium only minutes away from Lake Jocassee where we launched our boat with no problem. Property owner, Michelle was a joy to deal with and a very gracious hostess. 5 Star experience all the way. :)

If looking for quiet you have found it! And it was wonderful!

If not for the problem of getting my husband up the hill I would rent this property again. But it was a little too hard for him to get around.

Best Weekend Getaway

Shhhh. this is a secret. What a great place. It is a gem in the mountains. It is a quaint house and a great location close to Devil's Fork. We have two couples and had plenty of room and washed clothes before we left. Such a wonderful getaway and went on Jocasee and swam under the waterfalls. I need to keep this quiet because I want to come back again and again and be able to book!

This cabin is a gem

This cabin was absolutely perfect for our family. We came to the lake with 4 boys & cabin held us perfectly!! I have a small housekeeping business on Hilton head island & i must say i was pleased at how clean the property was. The wild flower & birds si ging was so relaxi g on the decks. The cabin offerd games & a wonderful book that listed all the eaterfalls in the area. We saw the stumphouse tunnel & hiked to 7 different waterfalls, then spent a day on the lake where we climbed & swam in the waterfall.. The owner was very responsive & helpful!! If u are lucky enough to catch this palce available, jump on it!!

Annual Lake Jocassee trip

We had such a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect. The personalized welcome sign was unexpected yet very thoughtful. Kids loved the bunk beds. I don’t have one negative thing to say. Hosts were easy to get in touch with. I loved how some of those little things that may have been accidentally left at home (body wash, deodorant, toothbrushes) were at the house just in case. That was definitely a nice touch. We felt very safe and location was very quiet, except for our kids lol.

Just right for our family

Clean, fresh, plenty of space, comfortable beds, ... everything was just what we needed. This property is located about a mile from Lake Jocassee's campground, where part of our family were camping, so we weren't far away. The back deck faces south/southeast over a wooded hollow where a dogwood tree was in full bloom and sunrises were beautiful through the trees. Michelle was a great host, providing clear information and more than just basic supplies. Internet worked great. The screened porch was wonderful for the one day we had rain. The park's convenience store is nearby, but a nice Ingle's grocery is about 14 miles away. Lake Keowee is not far away either. Michelle provided a SC park pass, so we felt free to roam. We hiked several nearby trails and loved the waterfalls on the trails and Lake Jocassee,

Mountain paradise

The property was very clean and could tell it was lovingly cared for. The owner had put out fresh flowers and and a welcome sign for us. There was nothing needed that could not be found in house for our use. The property was convenient to all sights. We did a private lake tour and did short hikes to numerous waterfalls. Would highly recommend this home and the owner was so easy to communicate with. Answered many of our questions and recommended a few restaurants.

Great Location For Lake Jocassee

The online registration was quick, the owner responded quickly to all inquires, the cabin was spotlessly clean, well equipped and only 5 minutes from the boat ramp at Devils Fork SP. The cabin even supplied a park pass good for our stay. The only thing missing was a pizza cutter! We would like to stay here again. We were able to park our 22 foot boat and vehicle in the drive and had room left for a second vehicle.
