Exactly what we were looking for

We woke up to sunrises, relaxed on the deck, and enjoyed walking through the county park. House is set up nicely for family and friends to enjoy lake life. Susan is an excellent communicator.

Great stay

We stayed at the Pirates Retreat with friends for a long weekend with a Clemson football game. The location on the lake is awesome and the house was super clean and well equipped. There was always some kind of competition going on between the teenagers and adults ;) We would love to come back and hope to take advantage of the kayaks next time. Definitely a 5 star stay !

Loved our stay

One of the best VRBO stays we have had. Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful location. Enjoyed backyard, fire pit, and the view. You can tell they put a lot of thought into making your stay enjoyable. Communication was excellent too. We will definitely stay here again.

Relaxing weekend

We spent a wonderful, relaxing weekend while celebrating our Clemson daughter’s ring ceremony. The house was exactly as described. So clean and bright with a wonderful wall of windows facing the lake. The family room was larger than we expected and very comfortable. Communication with Susan was easy, and she was quick to respond to some questions I had. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the lift/rack you have made it so easy to use and stow them versus lugging them to the lake from a garage. I highly recommend this property.

Tigers on the Lake

Stayed at the Pirates Retreat for a Clemson Football weekend. The house and amenities were amazing. We all had a blast. The kids loved the game room and fishing on the pier. Would definitely stay here again and hope to make use of the kayaks next time.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Fairrington

This property has been in our family since 1990. My husband and I have spent time renovating the home with comfort in mind. We have always felt a sense of relaxation and relief each time we come through the door and we hope you do too. Our family motto is “You are suppose to be happy!” Life is short, enjoy every minute. Welcome to our home.

Why they chose this property

Pirate’s Retreat is a warm, welcoming…well, retreat! Fully renovated with all new furniture, flooring, and appliances. Inside, there are small comforts such as DVDs, board games, sporting equipment, kayaks, and bikes. The property is located walking distance to South Cove Park which offers basketball courts, tennis courts, pickle ball courts (we had no idea what that was either, but you have some rackets and balls if you want to give it a try!) Outside there is plenty of seating on the back deck, a gas grill, a beautiful fire pit, and dock. An inflatable kayak is under the porch for your use as well. You are day a trip away from mountain hikes, off road adventures, white water rafting, snow skiing, not to mention right down the street Clemson University offers ACC sporting events, Greenville has the Peace Center for the Performing Arts, shopping, and fine dining. I guess the real question is why would you not stay here?

What makes this property unique

Benefits include rest, relaxation, a chance to recharge and reflect. Spectacular sunrises. Time to bond with family and friends. Fun, laughter, memories.
