getaway at the lake
We had a perfect long weekend. The dogs loved the yard, the house met all of our needs and the proximity to the lake was awesome. We couldn't have asked for better weather or the convenience and comfort of the house. When we got off the lake tired and ready to go home and cook dinner, we had everything we needed right there. Thank you so much John.

Jocassee
We had a great stay at Jocassee. House was clean, quiet, and super close to the boat ramps at Lake Jocassee. There was plenty of room for our boat. We even saw a mama bear and her cubs. That was a special treat! We will be back. Lake Jocassee has quickly become our favorite lake!

House was just the right size for us, hope to book it again in the fall. Spent the afternoon on the lake, evenings outside by the fire ring and the screen deck was perfect for a rainy evening.

The cabin was adequate for our football weekend activities for our family. The rooms were clean, and we enjoyed sitting on the back porch in a pastoral setting. The proximity to the lake was nice.

Perfect location!
This location is perfect for Lake Jocassee access, it’s soo close!! Plenty of room to park a boat and the driveway wasn’t steep. We had a great time, the house is comfortable and has everything you need. The most helpful amenities for me were the coffee filters and washer/dryer/detergent!! We had two families with kids and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. Huge dining table for us all to dine at together. The host is very accessible and responsive. Another year of great family memories made at Maplecrest!

Great location for Lake Jocassee lovers
This was a quaint little house very close to Jocassee. Our family and another family were able to both fit our boats in the driveway, stayed all day at the lake and grilled out while the kids played in the big back yard in the evenings. A perfect summer trip. Would go back again in a heartbeat.
