Summary: The check is process is cut and dry. They provide a gate code and a key box code for home access. Overall me and my wife had a great stay and enjoyed spending time on lake jocassee. The lake is truly a gem. 4 stars because we had an amazing and the location is incredible. But……. We feel the property is a little misrepresented. The cleaner must have forgotten to clean under the upstairs bed. As there was old clothes, bugs, and balls of dust in the master. The property is NOT in the condition that the photos show. The back porch, deck, stairs, and dock need some attention. Multiple boards were rotting and soft. Some of the staircase handrails were loose and the balusters on the back porch were completely rotten in sections and falling apart. The roof and gutters were completely covered with debris and overflowed into a mess when it rained on Friday. The outdoor cooking grill in the listing was not present.The listing photos clearly show a green roof pergola and table for hanging out in the shade by the waterside which was not present. We had planned lunch by the lake but decided not due to no cover. The dock is missing multiple tie cleats and the vertical rub rails are in poor condition. If you plan on docking a boat you have to get creative with your dock lines. I am not writing this as a “bad” review. But we feel there should be an immediate correction to the listing AND updated photos need to be provided. Being mislead is untrustworthy.
