Jocassee Hideaway on Lake Jocassee - 4BR/3BA home with panoramic lake view

Jocassee Hideaway is a lakefront cabin where you can enjoy one of the most pristine lakes in the country with a 95% protected shoreline of national parks and conservation protected land. Lake Jocassee is set in the Jocassee Gorges region on the border of South and North Carolina. It is a 7500 acre 350 ft deep lake within a unique wilderness area with miles of hiking trails, wildlife such as bear, turkey, bobcat, deer, eagles, the list goes on. Jocassee has some of the best fishing in the Southeast and is a lake that watersports lovers dream of where there are so few boats that open water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing are awesome. Explore waterfalls with boulders the size of houses, vertical cliffs, hidden coves, sandy beaches, and water that stays cool even during the peak of summer.

This 4BR/3B log cabin sits on one of the few lots with access to the lake with no stairs, just a gentle grade from the house to the dock (200 feet). The 2500 sqft home has 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths with a main level and a loft level living room for plenty of room to spread out and relax.

We provide all bed linens, bath towels/hand towels/wash cloths, and trash service (up to six bags which is all the cleaning staff can handle). We provide dish detergents, laundry detergents, cleaning sponges, and basic soaps in all baths.

We now provide high speed Starlink internet with speeds ranging between 50 and 150 mbps with unlimited bandwidth which now allows guests the ability to stay and work remotely. The Starlink system is on track to be upgraded to gigabit speeds as more satellites are deployed over the coming months and years.

The refurbished dock floats in deep water and provides a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. It has a single covered 10'x24' slip for a boat and a swim platform with tie-off cleats for boats or jet skis. The dock also includes a 2 man canoe for your use while our guest.

The house wraparound porch has several Adirondack chairs and a swing, outdoor dining, and gas grill. The kitchen is fully stocked and has updated appliances and granite countertops. The dining room has seating for 10 with a side table seating 4. The living room has a wood burning stove, leather sectional sofa, and 55" TV with Dish Network and DVD. HVAC, plumbing, and electric have all been updated. There is a large stone fire pit with bench seating and a 16'x16' deck between the cabin and the dock with a picnic table that seats 10+ and rocking chairs for relaxing while overlooking the lake.

Lake Jocassee has spectacular water and mountain views with many waterfalls to enjoy, with Whitewater Falls, Thompson Falls, and Wright Falls (a bridal veil falls) nearby. Boat entry is at Devil's Fork State Park which has 3 boat ramps, a beach, and water toy rentals. Several boat and watercraft rental companies are available that service the lake and include lake tours and scuba diving.

Great house on a beautiful lake
I'll get the small amount of negative comments out of the at first.....the road into the the property is treacherous, especially because it was raining when we arrived. Very steep, narrow turns and tight roads. I understand that people that live in the area, like the cleaners, are used to the mountain roads, but coming from the lower part of the state, it was eye opening. According to the instruction email I received, they recently expanded the drive to allow more parking near the house. That was very nice. The house was very clean and well maintained. Once we walked into the house and saw the lake from the back porch, we completely forgot about the driveway. The view is amazing. The lot gently slopes to the lake. The dock was perfect for our 3 jet skis. We kept our truck and trailer at the state park and drove the skis across the water. It's 5-10 minutes from the state park. The house is an older log cabin that has been updated nicely. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen has everything you need if you choose to. The back porch was amazing, we spent a lot of time just sitting looking at the lake. The next time we stay here, and we will, we will bring our boat and load everything we need on it and boat to the house. If you can do that, then the driveway doesn't matter at all.

The cabin was exactly as advertised, and perfect for our weekend getaway! Wraparound deck was perfect for morning coffee, the house was clean and organized while fully stocked for everything we needed. Fall foliage was beautiful in November! The best weekend spot no matter what time of year, and thanks to Craig for being so responsive and helpful.

Nice mtn getaway
Great location with a rare lakefront property on beautiful Jocassee. Neighborhood road and driveway are super narrow with steep drops on the sides - go slowly. Definitely make use of boat trailer storage solutions given by the owner - I would not want to tow anything down that driveway. Walk to dock was not bad, but lots of loose rocks and big acorns - don’t recommend for elderly folks. House was as listed and communication with owner was timely and helpful. Great central location to visit waterfalls and explore Cashiers or Highlands, etc.

Great place to stay on the lake
Our group had an awesome time at the cabin, we spent most of our days on the lake and evenings on the porch watching as the sun faded. The views from the cabin/property are better than the pics, and if you have a boat the dock and swim platform are in great shape! The cabin is truly a cabin, but clean and has everything you need for a great stay. Hope to stay here again in a few years when we are looking at Jocassee for a vaca again!

Was a great mountain vacation
We had a wonderful time at this location and the views are amazing! House was very clean and had everything we needed since we brought our own keurig. The place for our boat was super nice to have and the recommended guy for our trailer storage was very friendly. This would not be a house for you if you have any walking issues, very small children or for older people though because that walk down to the water is a tough one that’s for sure and especially after it rained it was really slick. All in all a great trip though!!

Family vacation
We had a great time! The log cabin gave us the feel of staying in a hidden, upscale tree fort. Elderly folks may not be able to make it down the hill to the dock, but we had no trouble. We took our boat and had a blast discovering little waterfalls. Leaving the trailer and truck at the state park was easier than we expected, since we sent some of our things with our kids.
