Our family spent Labor Day 2017 weekend at this wonderful place. The views were awesome from the back porch. It was clean and plenty of linens and towels for all. The owner was super helpful and made the experience easy. We had friends and family enough room for 8 people to stay comfortable. The location of the house was close to Devil's Fork State Park and Keowee Lake. We enjoyed the entire stay. We would recommend to stay at this home to everyone.

Great stay!

Excellent house, beautifully decorated. Owner has thought of every detail, including extras that are sometimes over looked. The pictures do not do the house justice, amazing views, great patio and plenty of parking. Would recommend for family gatherings, plenty of space for everyone.

This home is absolutely gorgeous! It is well equipped with anything you need. We loved sitting on the back porch and enjoying the beautiful views and sounds of nature. The location was perfect for the activities we wanted to do in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

2nd stay. Love the home!

We rented this home so all of our family could be under one roof as we commuted to and from Clemson University to attend our daughter's graduation. Our group included my in-laws, my mom, my husband and myself. Everyone had a room of their own and the spacious living area and dining area afforded us the opportunity to enjoy a TV show together as well. The house is aptly named "morning glory" as we saw a spectacular sunrise and enjoyed scenic views of the area when traversing the hilly terrain to reach our destination. The home itself is lovely, with incredible attention to detail in its craftsmanship and design. The kitchen was also stocked with spices and coffee, olive oil etc. and all the dishes, pots, pans and storage containers you would need. We did a quick inventory before going to the store and found that we only needed the basic perishables for our stay, since we only ate breakfast at the house. The owners are very accommodating and offered great ideas for local touring and sights. We felt at home from the moment we arrived and it seemed more like we were staying at a friend's home rather than a stranger's. If you are considering this home for a short or long term stay, you cannot go wrong with this property or the owners.

My family, 5 adults and a 3yr.old baby boy, enjoyed a lovely New Years weekend in this fine home at Lake Jocassee. Could not participate in outdoor activities, but loved the comfort of the arcitecture and decor of this very well appointed home. Until the fog rolled in, the view was spectacular. Host very accomadating and communicative. We know this area and their are wonderful fun towns and cities for day trips. A good find!

Our family enjoyed our stay at this mountain home for a football weekend. The house was spacious and clean. It was helpful having a refrigerator in the kitchen as well as one in the basement for all of our tailgating food. The views are gorgeous and the porch is perfect for relaxing. Was an easy drive to the stadium as well. The owner is very accommodating and made sure all of our needs were taken care of prior to arrival.

Amazing Views! This is a beautiful comfortable home, with amazing views of the mountains. We were looking for a quiet vacation, that was still a short drive to everything, and we found it. This home is so comfortable and clean, with many of the extras that other rental homes do not have. The owner thought of everything, we felt like we were staying in our own home everything we needed was right here. Less then 5 minutes to Lake Jocassee, our favorite lake, with fishing, kayaking, water falls, and peaceful hiking trails, Lake Jocassee is a gem! Can't wait to come back next year, thank you Phil for being so kind and friendly. -The Thompson Family

Our family spent the July 4th Holiday weekend & beyond at Morning Glory. It was just as lovely as it appeared in the photos, and felt like home away from home. Phil Hester could not have been better with regard to quick communication and answering any and all of our questions. The home was very convenient to everything we needed, especially Devils Fork Park where we rented a boat. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and plan to rent this lovely home again.

Every aspect of the accommodation was extremely nice! Our family loved playing cards on the screened in porch while looking at the gorgeous mountain view! It is a very short drive to the lake & waterfalls in the area! I would definitely recommend this quiet mountain getaway! Phil is very accommodating & a genuinely caring host!

Great house, beautiful views, very nice accommodating property owner.

The house was very clean. Lots of amenities. Very good lighting. Beautifully decorated. Great decks and views. Large rooms. Televisions in most rooms. Great Master suite. We would recommend staying here for many, many reasons. Owner very helpful and available to answer questions. Pat & Sandra Radican

This home is as lovely inside as the view is outside! The owners have thought of every convenience to make your stay comfortable. The home is beautifully decorated, with lots of seating space for meals and relaxing for large families. The view out the back of the house is stunning and can be enjoyed by many of the rooms. The kitchen is well appointed. The screened-in porch is comfortable and enclosed by two nice decks where the kids cannot escape, so its safe for small children. Immaculately clean, even the unfinished bottom level of the house is clean and dry. Ample, safe parking. Trash pick-up was an extra nice feature in this area where you usually have to haul it away yourself. The neighborhood is quiet and attractive. Convenient to Lake Jocassee and a great hike up at Whiteside Mtn. between Cashiers and Highlands. Pictures do not do the house justice. Owner was very helpful. We recommend bringing binoculars and maybe even a telescope to enjoy the stars and daytime panorama!

We had a wonderful time together as a family. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. Lots to do including lake, shopping in Highlands, river rapids, and excellent food. We especially enjoyed our meal at Three Pines, a bed and breakfast in the neighborhood. Private dining with a chef makes for quite the evening.

We just returned from an awesome trip to Jocasee and coming home each night to this wonderful home was just perfect for our family The home is beautiful, well set up for large families or several couples. All amenities you would need were well provided. A morning cup of coffee or evening sunset on the back porch with a view of the Blue Ridge mountains was a great way to start and end each day. Our daily excursions to white water rafting, cliff climbing/jumping, and waterfall exploration were all just a few miles away. We would definitely recommend this home for future travelers.

If your plan to stay in the Jocassee Lake area and want a great view of the beautiful mountains in SC, this is a great choice! The home is very well equipped, beautifully decorated, very very clean, and welcoming. The layout of the home lends itself to a great view of the mountains from the Kitchen, living room, and master bedroom, but the best place to enjoy the scenery is on the back screened porch. The sunrises were amazing and every morning was a different "painting." While we were there we enjoyed a day on Lake Jocassee, went up to Highlands and Cashiers, and went searching for Waterfalls. Thanks Phil for all your recommendations and directions. Not often do you rent a home that is as clean and welcoming as your own. We celebrated our 13th Anniversary with our children, and it was a great vacation full of memories! (almost forgot - buy your groceries in Pickens, the market just down the road is a little expensive but very convenient.) Thanks again, Trent and Amanda - Aynor, SC
