Long weekend fishing trip

This was my second stay at this property and I have had zero complaints. Rose is a wonderful host and a pleasure to work with. We had to book last minute and Rose was very helpful and communicative with anything we needed. The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend her place to anyone and would absolutely stay there again.

Fabulous view and stay

Thank you so much! We rented this lakehouse for a weekend family reunion and had a ball. The place was clean, well-appointed for our needs (we largely ate elsewhere but the kitchen is nice) and the view of the lake was fabulous. Owner is an absolute sweetheart and so easy to work with.

Wonderful lake house! Excellent host! Relaxing weekend!

My wife and I were just married, and we spent our honeymoon here.. The lake house was exactly as described, and Rose was amazing! This is definitely not your typical lake house that you rent to go party, so if you are looking for that type of environment, keep looking.. This home is surrounded by a quiet community, and surrounded by great neighbors. I had the pleasure of meeting them both during our stay. It was exactly what my wife and I were looking for, and we cannot wait yo stay here again! Rose, thank you so very much, for opening up your home to us! We absolutely loved it there!

About the host

Hosted by Rose Patteson

Host profile image
I am local to this area and have always had a home on Lake Wateree. My entire family and all of our children have enjoyed this lake for 40+ years. It is a 'hidden treasure' in SC, as most other lakes are overcrowded. There are endless activities with in a close proximity, other than water-related ones.

Why they chose this property

Wonderful neighborhood, great fishing, skiing and local marina's. Best of all, Quiet and relaxing! the mornings are wonderful to sit on porch with coffee or tea and listen to the singing of birds and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Dock has covered Gazebo for shade and open section for fishing and enjoying the sun! Great Location! Large lot.
