We had a fabulous time at the lake house on Lake Keowee! The home was clean, spacious and comfortable. We especially appreciated how many bathrooms it has. Mary, our host, went out of her way to make sure all our needs were met. The lake was a so refreshing. We fished, swam, paddleboarded and kayaked. We even rented a pontoon boat for two of our days there. The walk to the lake is fairly steep in spots, but that didn't detract from our experience. We highly recommend this property.

The interior of the home was dated, yet very very clean. The kitchen was well equiped. The exterior deck and furniture are in need of care. The house needs a new grill. We were unable to use either of the two provided, which meant cooking indoors. Now, the dock and lake toys were GREAT! The location on the lake was fabulous! Had a wonderfully relaxing time.

This was a nice place to stay for a Clemson game if you want to enjoy the lake and really only then sleep at the house. The kitchen is dated and not great if you are trying to cook for a large group. We had an issue with the garbage disposal and the host was very responsive but it did not work for most of the visit and it caused the dishwasher to also not work. A few odd things were only one roll of TP in each bathroom and no soap or anything in the showers. Plus no extra trash bags for the kitchen. We made it all work but was not what I am used to when we rent for a weekend.

Clemson Family Weekend

Overall a very nice stay and exactly what we needed for a quick weekend with family and friends. Appliances are outdated and could use an upgrade but functioned well enough for our short time there. Great dock and location on the lake.

Perfect for a big family

We had such an amazing time at this property. House was laid out perfectly and described accurately. We loved having the game room downstairs. The dock was awesome and the lake was so clean and not crowded at all. Would definitely come back!

Graduation weekend

Beautiful & peaceful property on Lake Keowee; great location, close to campus. There was plenty of room for adult family. The kitchen clean, well-stocked (there was even a milk frother) had a large pantry. Great hammock area! The host was great and easy to contact.

Awesome location

The boat landing is very close, the dock is very nice. The house is huge. We all loved the house and location. My family and I have been vacationing in this area for several years kind of our traditional long weekend get away. Unanimously we all agreed "We have found our new lake house" for our annual vacation.

Great Lake Getaway

House was wonderful and just as described. Mary Kate went above and beyond to answer any questions and quickly resolve any issues we had. The layout of the house and all furnishings (including beds) were perfect! Loved having the dock for our boat rental.

June ‘23 Lake trip

We had a great time here. Lake/dock setting is beautiful and there was a lot to do with and without a boat. All appliances worked and the house was clean. Plenty of indoor games too for rainy days. Will be coming back.

Great family weekend

The property was as advertised. Had 10 family members over including our college aged kids who had a blast hanging out at the dock and tubing behind our boat which we had at the dock all weekend. At night enjoyed billiards and other games they have at the house. Highly recommend this house for a larger crowd.

This was a perfect house ...

This was a perfect house for our large family. Each year we rent a home in the area for a family get-together, Clemson tailgate weekend, and this was our best choice yet. It was so spacious, comfortable, and fun. Best of all, it was stocked with things for the children (ping pong, crib, train table, cards). We will definitely reserve again next year.

Annual Family Vacation

The outside of the property was in need of cleaning and insect control. The interior of the home was clean and adequately stocked. Plenty of room for larger families. The dock is a short walk from the home but the exercise was appreciated. Mary communicated with me promptly will all my questions

Relaxing stay

Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some beautiful scenery. The house was exactly as described in the listing, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Waking up to those stunning views of the lake every morning was such a treat—it really set the perfect tone for our days. Communication with the owner was a breeze. They were super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Plus, the check-in and check-out process was incredibly easy, which took away any stress we might have had about logistics. We can’t wait to come back!

Our annual multigenerational family vacation.

This year my family of 12, ages 3 months to 87 years stayed at this house this weekend for our annual family vacation and had a blast. Everyone had a great time. There was so much for the kids and young adults to do. It's a beautiful house on a beautiful piece of property on the lake. We found it very accommodating for out clan and the kids had a blast fishing and swimming off the dock. Even my 87-year-old mother was able to fish off the dock and have a great time. I highly recommend this house to any family wishing to get together on Lake Keowee, Seneca, South Carolina.

Fun lake house

We had nine in our family that joined us at the lake house. Everyone agreed that this was the best one that we had been to in the past 10 years. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans plates, etc. Plenty of couches and chairs to be comfortable in, We loved the screened in porch! The downstairs game room was a hit with everyone with all of the different selections that we could play with.The dock was perfect for our pontoon boat and jumping off and swimming. Very safe and not much boat traffic. Location is perfect and close to restaurants and the Oasis mini golf! We would love to return and stay another week. Would highly recommend to other families! JB

Lake Fun

Beautiful lake. House was not properly cleaned, chairs at dining table were broken and very hard to sit on without pillows. Had to tighten the legs of the dining table which were very loose and seemed like it was going to fall, no hot water in the primary bath shower, screened porch was full of spider webs and dirty, couldnt use it. Saw a few roaches in the house. Used the roach spray owner left on the table. Liked the layout of the house and that we could spread out. Kids enjoyed the dock and lake. Lake Hartwell was beautiful and water was perfect.

Thank you for letting us know. I wish you would have let me known when you checked in that the house was subpar on cleanliness. Our regular cleaner was in the hospital and we had a back up. I would have sent someone to do it again. I apologize as that would bother me too! I have put the chairs on the handyman’s list to look at too. As for the bugs, we do have the home treated since it is a very shady yard, and they just came, so that is most likely what that was, but I will definitely ask future guests and take care of it right away. I am surprised on the hot water because the pressure is very strong and we have 2 dedicated oversized water heaters one for upstairs and one downstairs. I have asked our plumber to check and again would have sent him that day if I had known. If you come stay with us again, please do not hesitate to call or text me for anything that would make your stay better. 😊
