My family spent Christmas at Lay Lodge on the waterfall and enjoyed every moment there. The house was stocked with everything a family needs and we were welcomed with Christmas decorations and a perfect tree. We spent time at the firepit which was perfect with wood included, we spent time on the waterfall with our dog and explored the property. The place is great and we hope to return during the summer!

We loved this place. The grounds were immaculate, with beautiful landscaping, and breathtaking views of the water. The house was so clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was loaded with everything needed for cooking and very nice glassware and we enjoyed the bottle of wine & goodies. Very clean & well kept. So close to everything we love to do with hiking to waterfalls and mountain biking and got the best relaxation at the house. So nice to come back to. We would definitely highly recommend this place to stay and would love to come back in the spring.

We had a great week! The property was so unique. Private and cozy. My kid loved that the bunk house was its own building. We loved relaxing in the hot tub and exploring the property. Megan was a great host - super responsive and gave us some great suggestions. They even left a little toy for our dog! It is cozy, so meal time in the cottage was a bit tight, but my little family enjoyed the whole time. We would return for sure.

Megan was great! Very responsive and very helpful in providing tons of information prior to our check in. The property was awesome! We had a family Thanksgiving there and it had plenty of room to host. Being right on the lake was also incredible. The fenced in back patio was wonderful to have with our kids and dogs. Thanks again for everything, Megan!

Megan was super responsive and proactive in asking what she could do for us without being intrusive. Cute, clean, and new cabin made for a relaxing and great base for us to explore the local parks.

Lay Lodge was all that it was advertised and more. It was very private. Rather than going out and exploring the area, a few days we chose to just hang out on the deck and use the hot tub and sauna. And the best for us was the proximity to the waterfall. It was right there off the deck!! The sound of the rushing water was so relaxing. Then the firepit was perfect. The swings around it were set to the right height and distance away from the pit. We definitely will be back!!

Firstly, the host was great in so many ways. We decided last minute to go on a trip for my sons birthday and we stumbled across her beautiful Cabin. She was kind enough to accept our booking last minute (the night before) Then on top of that she was so understanding of our long drive and late departure time due to some unfortunate work issues and our late arrival. (Loved the door locks! made it so easy to remember late at night)She always checked in on us to make sure we were okay and had everything and anything we needed. The place was absolutely amazing! (Note they're small cabins) but that was perfect for us! My son loved the fire pillows, books and bunks! So greatful the kitchen was stocked with some cooking utensils, it made it so nice for us to cook in the cabin! The location is close to a lake(we were there when it was colder) but its still in a great location with under 4 hr drives to many places. Overall it was a great time and we enjoyed her cabin so very much!

Location was peaceful and quiet. Short drive to Devils Fork State Park. Main house has 1 upstairs bedroom with bathroom downstairs. Separate from main house is 4 bunk beds with separate entry. Large deck with great view. Great visit.

Lovely little cabin just minutes from hiking, waterfalls, and Lake Jocassee. Megan was a fantastic host, making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. We will definitely be back soon!
