Enjoy a relaxing stay on the water. Beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with everything from new appliances and furniture to small luxuries such as board games, DVDs, gas grill, 2 kayaks, 2 bikes, inflatable kayak, and outdoor games for your enjoyment. The property has a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains and is only a short 15 to 20 minute drive to Clemson University.

Another fantastic year at Pirate's Retreat!

Really a perfect location in so many ways: quiet, private cove, close to supermarkets, close to Keowee Marina for boat rental and east-facing for beautiful sunrises and afternoon shade. The hosts are awesome and the property is super-clean, full of toys and just perfect for a week or two at the lake!

CLEMSON GRADUATION

The property was great! Communication was the best we’ve ever had! A lovely stay! We would highly recommend staying at the Pirate’s Retreat !! The only suggestion is that there could be more table lamps (bedrooms and living room) - very minor !!

Excellent Stay

We had an absolutely amazing weekend at Susan’s property on the lake. Her home was so comfortable and fit our group of 8 nicely. So great to be next to the landing from a boat rental perspective! The house continuously had everything we needed which saved some trips into town. Would absolutely rent again!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Fairrington

Host profile image
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.
