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.
Why they chose this property
We chose downtown Seneca, SC, for its unique charm and vibrant community atmosphere. This neighborhood offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern amenities, making it an ideal place for both relaxation and exploration.
Nestled in the heart of Seneca, our neighborhood is just a stone’s throw from the historic Ram Cat Alley. This iconic street is lined with boutiques, cafes, and local restaurants, offering a delightful mix of shopping and dining options. The architecture here reflects the town’s rich history, with beautifully preserved buildings that add a nostalgic charm to the area.
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.
The neighborhood is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee are nearby, providing stunning settings for boating, fishing, and swimming. The surrounding area is dotted with hiking trails that lead to breathtaking waterfalls and scenic vistas, perfect for those looking to connect with nature.
What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the sense of community and hospitality. The local shops and restaurants are often family-owned, and the owners take pride in their work, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. 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.

What makes this property unique
Our bungalow offers the rare charm of a historic home paired with modern updates—something you won’t often find right in downtown Seneca. Just one block from Ram Cat Alley, you can walk to restaurants, coffee shops, taprooms, and local boutiques without needing to drive. That walkable, small-town charm is what sets this property apart.
Inside, the home blends character and comfort: original details give it warmth, while the updated kitchen, bathrooms, and cozy living spaces make it practical for families and groups. With three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and space to sleep up to eight guests, it’s designed to feel both spacious and homey.
The biggest advantage is location—you’re only 7 miles from Clemson University (perfect for game days), minutes from Lake Keowee, Jocassee, and Hartwell, and close to hiking trails and golf. Whether you’re here for football, lake life, or simply exploring Seneca’s historic downtown, this bungalow makes it easy to enjoy it all.
