5 bdrm Lakefront Home-private lake! Accommodates 2-15 guests, great fishing too.

Blueridge Mountain lakefront home on private Whitewater Lake. Located at the Gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and all the Upstate of South Carolina offers.
Bring the entire family, this home is great for multi generations, there are two separate family areas. Downstairs, we have a huge private suite that has a king bed, bunkbeds- twin, fullbed, and a trundle, so this spacious room sleeps up to six. The downstairs bathroom is newly remodeled and has an easy access shower.
Upstairs is the master suite with a king bed and a private spa like bathroom🛀 with a jetted 2-person tub and a separate tiled shower. There are also three additional private bedrooms, 2 containing queen beds, one with a king bed, and all share a completely remodeled full bathroom with a oversized shower.
The spectacular lake front is enjoyed with this 5 bedroom 3 full bath home on private Whitewater Lake. Boasting 150 ft of lakeshore, solid bottom footing around the dock area, tons of porches and decks, and a sloped walk down to the oversized dock, this home is designed for the best in outdoor fun. This lake does not allow jetskis, so it is quiet and relaxing, and being a private lake, there is no public access, so it is never crowded.
The main upstairs level features a big sun porch for winter, with an electric fireplace, and an additional screen porch for relaxing without worries. The sunroom is attached to a cozy bedroom with a king-size bed and another electric fireplace to add warmth and a romantic feel.
The screen porch is an "adults only" retreat with comfortable furniture and a dart board 🎯for adult fun. This is attached to the "Lake " bedroom with a queen bed. There are also full laundry facilities located upstairs.
The terrace or downstairs level contains the large open living and dining area, with gas fireplace and picture windows that look out onto the back deck and down to the water.
The kitchen is updated and contains new stainless steel appliances, including convection oven, quartz countertops, pantry, and tons of room for storage. It is very well stocked for the chef in your family. 🍽
Outside, you'll find a large patio area that flows into a deck that has more than enough seating for everyone in your party, and looks out over the manicured yard to the water only a few steps away. 🏊‍♀️
30 minutes from Clemson University 🏈, 6 minutes to Lake Jocassee, and 5 to Lake Keowee. This home will accommodate 2 to 15 people
Perfect for family vacations or football weekends. 👪
Hike to 30+ waterfalls, see the fall colors, go snowboarding 🎿20 miles away in North Carolina's mountain resorts, or just take a drive to see the gorgeous vistas, Jocasee gorges, Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee.
Rent a pontoon boat on these big lakes and spend the day toodling around fishing, skiing, wakeboarding, or tubing. Check out the waterfalls on Lake Jocassee that are only accessible by boat. Grab lunch on Lake Keowee at a waterfront cafe.
Come home here and enjoy outdoor grilling 🍖 overlooking this beautiful lake and the nightly sunsets.🌄
The lake activities continue on provided kayaks 🛶or float and swim right off our private dock.
Our lake is stocked with prime game fish as well🎣. Bring the whole family. This home sleeps up to 15 people with the triple bunk beds in the downstairs bedroom.
Hiking🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️, biking🚵‍♂️, swimming, and relaxing are just some of the many things to do here. Quiet time 10pm to 7am please.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Whitewater Lake was the most peaceful and beautiful lake. Our kids had a blast on kayaks and paddle boards. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We made homemade ice cream and played ladder golf. Sandra was awesome with all information needed. We had booked this house last year and had to cancel because my husband had Leukemia which led to a stem cell transplant. We were very happy to be able to make this trip with our parents and kids this summer! Thank you Matter Family for sharing your house with us!

Spring break vacation
This is our 3rd stay at this house. My granddaughter who is 5 when asked where she would like to go, immediately yelled "the lake house"! I messaged the host Sandra and their lake house was available. The house has been spotless each visit. Sandra the host provides everything one could need for the lake. Bath needs, beach towels, cooking supplies, grill, kayaks, paddle boat, outdoor games and indoor games. We had a blast just sitting around table with family playing phase 10. I know if you like the lake you will love this place!!

The Awesome Fun Vacation Getaway!
My family and I will be returning for another stay at this fabulous home. This home was an exciting place to stay with family, all enjoyed. The lake was a big hit with the kids, the home was so accommodating, it was well stocked with everything that you would need in your home. The kitchen was roomy, stocked with all appliances, lots of dish clothes and towels. Plenty of cooking aids to prepare greats meals, paper goods, trash bags, cleaning products, air freshers, etc. The bed rooms, bathrooms, were very spacious, and the sleep beddings was just outstanding! My family experienced the loss of a dear family member a year ago, and we so much needed such a getaway stay, as this home had to offer for processing life without our love one. Vacationing at this fun home helped that to happen, it is very clean and well taken care of, the patio is amazing and inviting, you can sit, enjoy for hours, just overlooking the lake. Ms. Matters, you were a wonderful host, thank you for answering all questions in a timely manner. We are grateful for the stay at this beautiful home. Best Regards Wanda

10th annual family/friends trip to mountains
This was our 10th year on this annual trip to mountains. Frist time we stayed on lake versus river, and we enjoyed it immensely. Uplands SC is great location for us to get to hikes and waterfalls and other area attractions. Sandra the hostess was helpful and all items about the house proved to be correct.

My family absolutely loved our stay! The property was very clean, amazingly well stocked and the lake front location on such a quiet lake was perfect!! My family along with grandparents, aunts, uncles and teens loved the property. It was close enough to Clemson that we could go back and forth for graduation festivities, but far enough away that it felt like a country vacation. We will definitely be coming back!

We had a great week. We loved the house was right on the water with a dock. And we used the provided kayaks daily. We had a great time. My only suggestion would be installing a vent in the upstairs rooms. One didn’t have one at all. And one had a very small one. We loved being on the water

Great getaway with kids
Sandra was an easy host to work with: promptly responding to our questions and providing simple, easy-to-follow check in and check out instructions. The house and lake were perfect for the needs of our group of 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 1-8). We particularly loved the patio/deck space and how close the lake was to the house. The lake and dock were very kid friendly. It's a small lake with no motorboat traffic. We paddled and swam everyday, cooked all our meals in the kitchen, ate on the deck each evening, and generally had a fabulous time. Plus, this house is super close to many outdoors adventures. We paddled and swam at Lake Keowee (10 min away), visited waterfalls in the Cashiers area (25 min away), and hiked to Station Cove Falls (15 min away). We plan to come back next summer!

Great getaway
This property was lovely. My large family (14) all stayed comfortably. The kitchen is very well stocked---enough dishes and pots/pans to accommodate larger groups. Due to Covid and bad weather we stayed in a lot, but there are many beautiful waterfalls and hikes nearby. One word of caution: if you are planning to conduct business (especially Zoom meetings and things that require large bandwidth) or do a lot of streaming entertainment you may want to have a mobile hotspot or other backup, particularly if you are travelling with data-hungry teenagers. The Wifi could be a bit spotty at times with multiple people on the network. There is enough for one major streaming at a time, but if anyone else is on Wifi at the same time it was in and out. However, with so many lovely things around you hardly need it!
