About this property

Keowee Waterfront Lakeside Retreat -Keowee Cottage

Lake Keowee Lake Side Retreat! Keowee Cottage is nestled in a lovely cove on a privately owned 20+ acre property. Explore native, natural beauty in this forested setting featuring nature trails, lake access, a sandy shoreline, a firepit, & great views. Shared use of the lakeside Pavilion is an added bonus. The cottage features open living, dining, & a well-equipped kitchen. Please note there is no boat dock, however, there is trailer parking on-site & several nearby boat ramps. We are dog friendly! Please note we have a 14-day maximum stay and if a stay is 7 days or longer, the owner will perform an inventory and restock assessment on the 8th day which will be arranged with the guest. Also, GPS will get you close but may tell you the property is not on the lake. Bear in mind the property is 20 acres and the driveway winds for 1/2 mile down to the lake. Our reviews happily attest to the location.

Awesome place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful. The back deck that is attached to the house on both sides is a serene place to sit and enjoy the lake view and sounds of nature. Our dogs spent a lot of time on the deck with us and they seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. The location is quiet and peaceful. Everything you would need, restaurants, gas, groceries, etc. is only a short drive away. The owners are super nice and were always quick to respond to any questions. We would totally rent again!

Magical sunrises over the lake

Maggie and Mike have created a peaceful sanctuary in nature with all the thoughtful details of a home away from home. It’s the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever stayed in and fresh farm eggs to boot.

A special place to get away!

Keowee Cottage is place for anyone who wants to get away from hustle and bustle of a busy life. The owners go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. They make you feel at home when you walk in the door. The beds were comfortable, kitchenware fully stocked and a basket of extra little things you might have forgotten to bring. The views of the lake can be easily seen from balcony or windows and the outdoor pavilion near the lake was an extra plus! Gas stove in the main room for a little extra ambience.The location was perfect, just far enough from everything. We will definatly be coming back in the spring.Our Lab loved it as well!

Comfy & cozy cottage

We made a quick visit to see our student at Clemson and we’re thrilled to have found this little gem to rent for the weekend. Charming, comfy and so cozy! No detail was left undone and the owners thought of everything to make for the most welcoming stay. Wish our trip wasn’t so short, and we hope to be back before too long to explore the area and enjoy this lovely cottage.

Best lakeside retreat!!

Mike and Maggie have a little slice of heaven on Lake Keowee! They are quick to communicate and did not overlook a single detail in preparing the cabin for our stay. The accommodations were well appointed and everything was very clean. The location of the cabin on the lake is very peaceful, with minimal boat traffic so our children enjoyed swimming and kayaking right off of the beach. We highly recommend this rental and hope to return ourselves!

The beginning

This property is absolutely amazing. Mike and Maggie were so pleasant and were so responsive to every question we had. We brought our pontoon boat and having the convenience of parking our trailer at high falls boat ramp for a small fee at the beginning of our stay and beaching our boat at the property was so worth it. I named the title as the beginning because we will definitely be booking with Mike and Maggie again for our annual lake trip(s). Thank you so much for a memorable trip for our family before the kids go back to school.

My husband and I are too pups. Enjoyed the quietness of the cove and the ability to have enough property for the girls to play and sniff around. Mike and Maggie were very kind and accommodating with allowing us to use their kayaks and paddle boards.

Lakeside retreat

This lakeside cottage is a beautiful peaceful spot to get away. The house is well furnished and supplied and we loved that they welcomed our two dogs. The location is amazing with so many great hiking trails and waterfalls in easy driving distance. Or just sit on the deck and enjoy the view. We are looking forward to coming back!
