About this house rental

Welcome to the Jocassee Bungalow.

Enjoy our beautifully restored mountain bungalow, nestled atop a babbling freshwater spring waterfall. Located next to Devils Fork State Park and a short walk to the beaches and boat ramp of world famous Lake Jocassee.

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1960s bungalow has been lovingly restored with the discerning traveler in mind. You’ll find all the modern conveniences of a 5-star villa with the privacy of 2 acres and a state park as your backyard.

Sip your coffee on the huge wraparound porch, then explore the mountain stream and discover hidden waterfalls and pools throughout the estate. You’ll find the rare Oconee Bell along the creek bed, wild ginger and more native plants to the Jocassee Gorges region of South Carolina.

Fall asleep to the sounds of a waterfall in the master suite, luxury queen bed. Dual vanities and step-in, subway tiled shower in the master bath.

Another queen bed in the guest room also opens up to the waterfall.

The kids will love their bunkroom. Four twins provide a cozy, fun place to hang out and rest from a long day on the lake.

Our chefs kitchen comes equipped with all you will need to prepare a delicious feast or quick sandwiches for the boat. Comfortable seating in-kitchen and outside on the porch.

WiFi is available throughout the property at the Jocassee Bungalow, although we suggest a completely unplugged experience. If you need to work from home, you'll be all set...just try to relax and don't forget to set your Out Of Office message with your email! Forget about the rest of the world and immerse yourself in nature. Verizon, AT&T and Sprint work fairly well. TV is equipped smartcast.

What about getting on the lake? In partnership with JB Boards, South Carolina’s own most beautifully designed stand up paddleboards, you will find 2 boards included with your stay. Get out there and go for a paddle and experience Lake Jocassee offshore. A truck or large SUV will be best for transporting boards to the lake. Use cam buckle straps when strapping boards to the roof of a vehicle.

We also have recommendations for pontoon and ski boat rentals, must see destinations on the lake, hiking, drive-to day trips and our fav restaurants in the area.

We rented this bungalow for Fall Break, and could not be more glad we did! Everything about it was ideal. So clean. So relaxing. So fun! The kitchen had everything we needed. The grounds were from a storybook. My 8yr old son and friend must of slid down the mini sliding rock a gazillion times, while we enjoyed the firepit. The convenience to Devils Fork is unmatched. We rented a boat for a few days. It was ready for us on the dock every morning. We loaded up the killer JB paddle boards that were provided by the owners and got to explore the Jocassee Falls upclose! Even behind them! Was magical! We pigged out one night at Habenros up the road, hiked Yellow Branch and Whitewater Falls plus explored Cashiers for an afternoon..bringing home so many goodies from the Farmers Market. Likely our best vacation and a while. Our posted pictures were so gorgeous , family and friends have been asking for the link for the bungalow like crazy. If you can add this feather if an experience to your hat.. you should!!! Can’t wait to go back! Oh and the owners were 💯 ! Easy. Responsive. And Clearly cool folks!

Wonderful!
Wonderful!
We had such a great week at the Jocassee Bungalow. We kayaked on the lake and did several hikes in the area. The house was so clean and comfortable and also had special unique touches. Our kids loved the painted rocks and swing. They spent hours exploring the stream and little waterfalls on the property monitoring the salamanders and Oconee Bells in bloom. We made so many special memories and hope to return!

Quiet, relaxing and beautiful getaway at the Jocassee Bungalow. The house was updated, clean and cozy. The waterfall beside the fire pit was everything! You’re in walking distance to the Devil’s Fork State Park and Jocassee Lake (rent a boat to see the waterfalls) and short driving distances to many other sites - hiking at Table Rock and site seeing at Issaqueena Falls and Sassafrass Mountain to name a few. Great vacation at a great house on a beautiful piece of property. Kids loved the yard, swing, fire pit, waterfall and especially the rock painting. 5 stars!!
