Loved the peace and solitude!
Country life at its best! We were so happy and relaxed the entire stay. Even got to share the dog! Homie was a good boy and drank coffee on the deck with us!

Needs cleaning
Overall, my stay was OK. The shower squeaked terribly when standing in it and they had some type of a rubber liner in it that should be removed for sanitary reasons shower curtain liner should be replaced before the next renter. They should have a pest control for bugs I Seen a German cockroach in the bathroom and immediately removed all of my bathroom items from the sink area, second of all the musty linens in the bathroom should be replaced and/or bleached on a regular basis. Wasn’t sure what was clean and what was just washed it was not anything I would use. I had my girlfriend bring me my own towels and washcloths. Upon returning home by removed all of my clothing from my bags and washed everything in hot water immediately to make sure there was no German roaches in my clothing. Renters beware. In the rental description, they should stay. There is only one mini split system in the living area and not any air conditioning or condition space in the state room as they say in boating a fan was provided The fan provided needs to be disinfected and cleaned. It has a odor all of its own.

About the host

Hosted by Roger and Connie Fredrickson

Host profile image
This is our newest rental property located along with our other rental on the back 3 acres of our 5 acre property. Quiet and peaceful surroundings, located 1/2 mile from Lake Russell. Ideal for fishing trips and vacations. We moved here 9 years ago and fell in love with the area and people. GREAT fishing and just a wonderful place to enjoy our retirement years. Roger is a 26 year, retired, US Army veteran and Connie is retired from the Transportation Industry. Parents to 4 wonderful children and grandparents of 8 sweet (but not always) grandkids.

Why they chose this property

Great out of the way, quiet and relaxing area. Some of the best fishing anywhere in the southern US. Bass, Striper and Catfish. The area hosts fishing tournaments throughout the year on Lakes Russell, Hartwell and Clarks Hill. Gem mining also attracts many visitors to this area. Much Southern history in the area with Abbeville SC just 15 miles from our location. Elberton GA is 13 miles from our property where you will find grocery stores, restaurants and shopping facilities. Elberton is known as the Granite Capital of the world as 80% of the memorial markers/burial markers are made here, along with much of the granite countertops sold in the US. For large groups, we have a 2BR, 1 Bath house that will accommodate up to 6 guests. Look for "Anglers Retreat" and the available dates.
