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.

Beautiful home and location

We had a surprise 80th bday party for our mom. The house was beautiful and was perfect for this event. We would absolutely rent this home again.

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.

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.

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.

Graduation

We loved the space of this large home. The game room was fun for the kids. The steep walk to the lake was a bit tricky for our parents.

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!

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

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

Decent place for Clemson visit; cleanliness and updating/repairs needed.

We liked the house layout and location (and host was easy to communicate with). Not any issues with any of that! Just needs some repairs (of chairs/stools) and major updating, as well as much more thorough cleaning and supply of certain things. Appliances need updating; mostly the oven which is very old, small, and doesn’t cook very well anymore. The place sleeps a lot of people (more than we brought), but has limited supply of things. (Most rental properties have ample paper goods and some soap/shampoo for bathrooms—whether small hotel sizes or big bottles of these, so I would suggest having something like this for guests.)

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.

Great Lake access and experience

Bathrooms very clean. Beds comfortable. Very nice layout of the house for four couples. Kitchen manageable; we like to cook and pots and utensils a bit thrown together. The oven needs better cleaning. The team that cleans the house could at least use a broom to clear the cobwebs from the main entrance of the house. Were not able to use screen porch due lack of being clean; cobwebs all over and furniture extremely dusty. Overall we had a wonderful time at the fire pit! Made good use of the corn hole game, water toys, SUPB and hammocks. The depth of the water was perfect as well as the temperature. I would definitely go back again.

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!

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.

Somewhat disappointed

The Property Location is excellent with plenty of shopping and resturants in the Area. The property itself is in desperate need of updates. The beds are uncomfortable in all the rooms. 3 out of 4 tvs work. 2 with remotes if you can figure out how to operatate two side by side projection tvs with one remote. The inside was very clean but the outside had cob webs all over and the yard hadn't been kept up. The day of Thanksgiving the Oven broke. We had to improvise with the outside Grill. Not fun when there is a lot to bake. The carpets were stained, found two broken chairs, the curtains and blinds were damaged and some inoperable. Games for the kids were dated and missing pieces. I borrowed some billiard balls because the ones there where a mix. The house served the purpose for a large gathering both local and out of town.

Great Comfortable Home, with many good times

Really comfortable home. We had a large group staying there and even a larger group coming by daily to play. The home's layout was perfect and we never felt on top of each other. Huge lot with cool fire pit down by the water. Everything in the home was not new or in perfect condition, but it was clean, comfortable and very user friendly. I have rented quite a few homes on Lake Keowee, and I will be coming back to this one next year.. I just hope its available.

This feels like our home away from home!

We have been visiting Lake Keowee since 1997 and we have stayed in this home since 2006. We LOVE the location. It is close to everything, dining, boat ramp, grocery, Keowee Marina and Tiki Hut! We love how private the cove is for such a large one. The kids take their canoes out for hours. We also have 2 jet skis we bring and there is a drive up dock for both of them. The kitchen fits all of us, and there is space for all of us to do what we want to do. I like to sit on the dock and read in the sun! This home is comfortable and peaceful, and Great Getaway! THANKS!
