About the host
Hosted by John McShane
Hi! I’m John, originally from Michigan, but now happily settled in Seneca, SC. I love golf and spend my free time either on the golf course, enjoying a day on the lake, or exploring the mountains with my family. We moved here to escape the snowy winters and embrace the warm, welcoming atmosphere of this beautiful area. Hosting allows me to share the amazing experiences Seneca offers, from its stunning landscapes to its friendly community. I’m always eager to provide tips on the best golf courses, lake spots, and mountain trails to make your stay unforgettable.

One of the highlights of our location is the proximity to Ram Cat Alley, which comes alive with local culture and community events. From March to October, the “Jazz on the Alley” event is a must-experience. Every Thursday evening, the street fills with the lively sounds of jazz, where locals and visitors gather to dance, enjoy food, and socialize under the stars.

What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the sense of community and hospitality.

There’s always something happening, community festivals, making it easy to feel a part of this vibrant town.
Overall, downtown Seneca offers a perfect mix of small-town charm, outdoor adventure, and cultural experiences, making it an ideal place to stay and explore.
