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 son’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!

Everything was perfect. Pictures and listing are very accurate. Lots of information was provided about the local area and things to do. Our hosts checked on us after check in to make sure all was good with the house. We highly recommend and look forward to returning when it’s a little warmer so we can go in the lake.

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.

Sweet Send Off
We had the bittersweet experience of bringing our daughter to Clemson for the new school year. The lake house was perfect for our family and the pool table gave everyone the chance to put down our phones and enjoy each other before “send off”. Owner was very accommodating and communication was great!

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!

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.

This is about our 5th time staying at The Underwoods. Super nice people and always available if needed. The house is a perfect set up for our family.

Relaxation
This property was fantastic. From the ease of check in to swimming or fishing from the dock. A week at this property was much needed to relax and just spend quality time with the kids. Plenty of games and movies or beat the kids in a game of pool to have fun with if it rains while your there. Highly recommend this property if your looking for a place to stay on the lake.

Graduation Getaway
We booked this house over a year ago for our twin daughter’s Clemson graduation & Army Commissioning celebration. Place & host did not disappoint; it was wonderful. All the previous reviews were super positive and we would give it over 5 stars if possible too. Description is spot on ; it truly has everything one would need. We are nature lovers and appreciated the peacefulness, beauty and lake activities. We had college kids through seniors staying and everyone enjoyed!!! It is obvious these hosts truly know how to create “a home away from home” for all!!!

Fun Winter Get Away
Our family spent a long weekend at this lovely home while visiting our Clemson student. The photos do not do it justice. It was the perfect property for a family - very clean, lots of beds and everything we needed was provided. The homeowners were not only thoughtful, but also friendly and easy to contact. It was refreshing to deal with owners rather than a management group. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Lake home
We had a lovely stay for NYE weekend here. It was wonderful to see the house decorated in the holiday theme. The host even left a holiday surprise for us in the fridge. The house is cozy, equipped with a pool table, and has lots of board games to keep the group occupied. They have a wonderful boat ramp and kayaks are available to explore the lake. Unfortunately because of cold weather, we could not take advantage of it. The kitchen is well stocked and has most of the things needed to feed a large group. The only -ve I would say is that the listing mentions hot tub as one of the amenities, which is not present in the property. Overall I highly recommend this place, do not think twice.
