Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
A wonderful week at Lake Junaluska with a fanstastic view of the lake! Very private and quiet complete with a nice fire pit to sit by as you take in the great outdoors. Carolyn is was a great host and I was completely satisified with my stay!

The Hooch Hideaway
This was the perfect location—right on the river and easily walkable to all the shops and restaurants in Helen!

Great location with an AMAZING view! We will definitely be back.

Lakefront Luxury Apartment ~ Lake Murray by Marina
We booked a last minute stay because we were in town for a funeral..Mark & Ruth were very accommodating. As for cleanliness probably one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed..the beds super comfy & just the best hosts! I hope we can come back again some time for a more relaxing reason :)

Top floor
We enjoyed our three night stay very much. We love to walk, but yet being just a few short blocks away from Main St meant we could walk everywhere yet have a quiet place to sleep at night. The parking, while not a dedicated spot, was never an issue - always right out front. The kitchen had just what we needed since we only planned to have breakfast each morning.

Waterfront Harbison Condo
Ashish is one honest guy he is always respond when any thing go wrong wit mature helpful attitude A cool guy without trying is in his nature!!

Sunrise Studio/ Private & Pet-Friendly Guest-Suite
Such a gem! So glad I found this spot. The Adirondack chairs outside the door were so peaceful to sit in while listening to the river and the birds. The studio has high ceilings which makes it feel cozy but spacious.

Very relaxing location, and cozy house

Lake Murray Paradise/Lakefront/Dock/Wifi/Sunrise
Great Lake view and delighted to stay there.

Lakefront home on Lake Murray with private dock
Our family and friends stayed during Masters week and appreciated the quiet, relaxing location that was only about an hours drive to Augusta, GA. It made for a quick morning commute without much traffic and allowed us to hop on the express way for a straightforward drive. The house offers plenty of rooms for multiple guests, and was exactly as described in the photos and other reviews! They did a great job welcoming us, offered suggestions on other activities to do in the area while we were in town. Our two friends who stayed with us made good use of the kayaks as well for some lake boating. It was so peaceful we didn't run into any other families, even though there are plenty of surrounding houses - the view of the lake is absolutely beautiful and anyone wanting a private upstairs master suite will love this location! Chris and his co-hosts were also incredibly responsive, polite, and helpful throughout our stay. Definitely consider this as a place to stay during The Masters!

Cozy Cabin with Lake View
Everything was as listed. Nice and clean. Modern furniture, fixtures, and tile. Made me feel at home but in the country. Would stay here if I could every time we visit.

Lake house waterfront, 10 min to downtown w Kayaks
The house was great, easy to find, had what we needed in the kitchen, beautiful location, just great. We loved it and it was perfect for our gathering after my son graduated college!

3-BDR Direct Waterfront Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay. Was a very welcoming home. Great atmosphere! All the beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. I will say for 5 people there wasn’t enough towels for everyone. All furnishings are really nice. Comfy couch and enough seats for all of us to relax together and watch tv. The fire pit was wonderful at night with a great view. Was in a wonderful location to downtown Charlotte. Went to the Bank of America Stadium and was like 15 minutes away. There are kayaks but we didn’t use them. We were hoping to fish from the dock or the bank. We had brought all of our fishing stuff to fish. So, I will say if you do want to fish you would need to use them. The dock isn’t there. It’s across the water channel on a sand bar island hence you need to use the kayaks to fish open water. Overall, I highly recommend staying here. If we come back to this area. I would definitely stay here again.

Waterfront and Mountain Views on Lake Chatuge
Great place with easy access to lake! Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Super responsive host and very accommodating. We will be back.

Soothing Creekside Sounds
Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

*Riverfront* Pet Friendly near Downtown Gatlinburg
This trip was amazing! Chucks place was great, the location is outstanding right on the river with a short walk to downtown

Lakeside | 4bd/4ba Condo | 1 Mile from Clemson
Perfect place to stay for a Mom's weekend visiting our Clemson students! We enjoyed the dock and the pool and it was an easy 10 minute drive to downtown and campus. Great place and Go Tigers!

Lakeside Clemson Condo | 4K TV | Xbox | Queen Beds
Caden’s place is great! Located right by the lake with gorgeous views. Space was clean and had everything we needed. Check-in and out was easy. A great stay!

Bear Lake Reserve * Stunning Condo with Lake Views
We booked last minute and by that, a day and a half before we arrived. Darlene responded within minutes and made arrival so easy with perfect directions/information. Darlene checked in with us during our visit and with the welcome packet Darlene sent us, I had minimal if any questions. The place exceeded our expectations and was so very close to the club and all the amenities. View was beyond! The only negative was we never saw a bear. 😂 We will be back!

3/3- 3rd floor condo-Mountain & lake view-Clemson
Excellent stay at Jacqueline’s place. Very clean and welcoming. Nice neighbors. Easy instructions including check in and check out. Everything as described including the number of steps to walk up…lol. She also responded quickly when we requested a last minute reservation.

Happy on the river 2 master suites
This spot was amazing to stay in and we would absolutely visit again. Close enough to downtown to have fun but far enough away that you felt like you had a private space in the woods. The upstairs swing was pure bliss with a cozy, fluffy blanket on a brisk morning. The only real issue we ran into during our stay was with parking. The garage only fits 2 cars comfortably and we had 3. The person with the most reliable E brake gets the hill! Also, bring your own toiletries. They weren't provided and the local store is a little pricey.

Riverfront Downtown Helen Condo 1BR 2BA Jetted Tub
We enjoyed everything about the stay. The location was perfect and within walking distance to everything in Helen. I really liked the seasonal fireplace and how clean and cozy the condo was. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
