Lake Jocassee ~ Easy Lake Access ~ Loved By Our Guests ~ Pet Friendly
Come and enjoy a fun packed vacation visit to Maplecrest at Lake Jocassee right next to Devils Fork State Park in the mystic Cherokee Foothills of the South Carolina. Recognized by National Geographic Magazine as a waterfall paradise. Our well kept vacation rental is a true all seasons 4 bedroom 2 bath home that offers wonderful year-round accommodations for up to 8 guests. The house is located on a secluded 2 acre private property with woodland views / large front & screen porches / full kitchen / gas BBQ grill / outdoor deck dining / campfire ring and activity field / Free WIFI. We are exactly 1 mile from the Devils Fork State Park Boat Launch & Swimming Area and have a large parking area for both your boat trailer and other vehicles. Although we are not a lakefront property, our location is extremely peaceful and quiet away from the busy and noisy daily road traffic to Lake Jocassee at the Main Park Entrance ! Guests love that we offer easy (2 minute) back entrance access to the Lake boat ramps and is one of the most convenient locations to area restaurants , food stores, boat rentals and waterfall tour boats. Children always welcome and a well behaved pets are considered. From our nicely equipped kitchen to our comfy beds and tranquil woodland surroundings. Maplecrest is the perfect rental home for couples, families and friends.
