| Did
you know? This area
of SC (Oconee County) has one
of the densest concentrations of waterfalls in
the United States. There are two reasons for
this: an ample supply of water and a sudden
change in elevation. The Blue Ridge escarpment
provides the sudden change in elevation,
separating the gentle rolling hills of the
Piedmont and the more rugged terrain of the Blue
Ridge Mountains. Most trails that traverse this
narrow region change 2000 feet in elevation over
a distance of 4 miles. There are
many shorter trails and most of these waterfalls
are easy and short walks from public
roads. This is an outstanding hiking area
for novice explorers, as well as the
experienced. The great rivers and lakes of
the area, as well as nearby Clemson, Walhalla,
Seneca, Cashiers, and Highlands, make this a
great and memorable choice for any family
vacation, with plenty to do- to find out more
about the SC's Golden
Corner, CLICK HERE. At nearby Lake
Jocassee, there is a great outdoor center, where
you can rent boats very reasonably. Here
is the link:
Jocassee Outdoor Center . There is
also more area information at the
Jocassee Outdoor Center web site.

Our
Mission
We
want to cost effectively reach vacationers and
provide renters with sufficient information to make an
informed decision when renting a vacation home.
Full disclosure is a common theme to all of the property
advertised and all dealings with vacation renters.
First
and foremost, we want to rent to caring families, who
will respect our property. In return, we will
provide you with more value for your vacation dollar,
both in terms of amenities and the rental charge.
In
setting up our home for ourselves and
our guests, we strived for cleanliness, freshness,
and providing as many amenities as possible, while being
able to keep the rental charge in a reasonable range.
We spent extra money on
mattress quality and the furnishings are very niche,
throughout.
In
addition to full disclosure, good and prompt service are
top priorities in all of our communications.
Web
Site Owner, History and Homeowner Profile
We
are also vacation homeowners at Ocean Isle Beach, and
have been renting our home at Ocean Isle since 1999 http://www.oceanislerentals.com.
Here is a link to our Ocean Isle renter comments: Renter
comments for our other personally owned beach Vacation
Home. This will give you a good idea of how we work
with our guests. Our mountain lake home is new for
us in 2005, but we promise to provide the same top shelf
service that we do with our beach home. We
reside in Concord, N.C. This web site and advertising
service is handled personally us. We started
our beach web site in 1999 and this site in
2005. We will be starting our second year of
renting our mountain home to vacationers. The
first year went very well, as evidenced by the
"real" guest comments, at the link
above. Every guest we have had has found the
property to exceed their expectations in every
way. This little piece of paradise in the corner
of SC is a hidden gem and worth a serious look.
If
you rented our mountain home, you would work directly with us.
You would finalize your bookings and contract directly
with us, the owners. We are
confident that our pricing will be much better than you
can find in other places of similar quality, location
and amenities.
