What a great property! We enjoyed family and friends joining us and having the perfect space for everyone to visit (inside and out). With marina just around the corner it was nice to bring the boat as well. Owners were very accommodating and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Would love to go back again!

I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful lake house. Lots of room, great location on the lake and just minutes away from Clemson. We had a great time the three nights we stayed and we are hopefully planning a trip back next year. The owners provided us with everything we needed from basic kitchen and bath supplies to brochures and info about the area. The house was immaculate and the views of the lake were beautiful. We didn't want to leave!!! Thank you for making our weekend so relaxing and fun!

wondeful Christmas week

We loved this magnificent lakeside house. It had everything we needed for our one week stay for the Clemson graduation of our son. It is so close to Clemson, getting to the graduation ceremony was no problem at all. It took us less than 10 minutes. Our friends from Beaufort stayed with us the first couple of days and were very impressed with the accommodations. Since we rented it in the Christmas season, the house was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Thank you for this special detail. The house is located in a friendly quiet neighborhood close to the Seneca marina. There was ample closet space, beautiful furnishings, it is superclean and spacious. We had two days of rain and enjoyed just being at home. There is a large selection of videos and books and the views (even in the drizzle) are breath taking. Everything we needed and more was supplied in the kitchen. The house is close to a shopping center with a Bi-Lo and an Ingles. We enjoyed cooking gourmet meals. We hated to leave after such a relaxing vacation. We highly recommend renting this home. We hope to come back!

My husband and I, plus our two sons and their families spent four days in this beautiful home looking out at beautiful Lake Keowee. We did a lot of cooking including a large Thanksgiving dinner and everything we could possibly have needed was there. Our 3 year old grandson loved all the toys plus the sandbox and exploring in the yard and two teenage grandsons had a great time kayaking. The adults all enjoyed relaxing in the house and lounging on the decks, enjoying the lake. Great place for our family to enjoy each other and all we have to be thankful for!

As a real estate agent in search of a vacation home on Lake Keowee, our arrival to the Hardy's home left us wanting for nothing. In fact, after a thorough search of the southern region, we could find nothing that compared in amenities, location and the comforts of this home. Perfect for a single family or two or three couples as a week-end get-away or extended vacation. We brought our boat, toured the lake, enjoyed the beach and prepared all of our meals in the gourmet kitchen! We will definitely be back to enjoy this home!

Family Weekend '11

Date of Stay: 09/22/11 Review Submitted: 10/02/11

Words really cannot express how amazing this house is. We came down for our freshman daughter's Family Weekend. It was the perfect layout for entertaining, cooking, shagging on the hardwood floors and overall enjoying an amazing weekend on the lake! The kitchen was fully stocked. It was wonderful to have all the paper products supplied so that we didn't need to travel with all of that extra stuff. We will definitely be back. We can't wait! Thank you to the Hardy's for opening up their beautiful home.

This was our 2nd stay at this house and both were very enjoyable. The property is clean, well maintained, and well equiped with just about everything one would need. We all got lots of exercise with the kayaks and canoe. The lake views are fantastic. The location is excellent to the marina, supermarket, golf courses and restaurants. We have already recommended this property to others and plan to book again for next summer.

My family has traveled to lake houses every year for our summer vacation. This year has been the best one yet. The house and the views here are beautiful. There is absolutely every thing you could possibly want. It is so nice having a beach that you can walk out into the water. Great for small children and large families that can realy spread out on all the decks and places to relax. Grills at evry level made cooking and watching the kids swim a breeze. If your staying on Lake Keowee this is the place to be!!!!!! Thank you to the Hardy's, for sharing your home

When I am looking for a vacation home to rent I always say "if it's not nicer than home, why bother?" This property well exceeded our expectations. It really does have everything you need. Just pack your clothes and you're ready. Good grocery stores are within minutes so don't even bring your cooler. It is a beautiful home with a dream kitchen. I had a hard time deciding if I wanted to be inside or out!!!! We plan to return next year.

We had a fantastic time in your beautiful home. It was everything listed in the description & we loved every minute of our stay. Everyone wanted to stay and soak up the sunshine and views. The house and decks made the graduation entertaining so easy and everyone that stopped by to visit was "totally impressed" with the house. This was a great decision & we appreciate your "southern hospitality". You helped make the graduation a very memorable event for our family & friends. Anyone looking for a GREAT place for a Clemson Graduation- only 7 miles to the campus! Thanks again,

We just returned from renting this property on Lake Keowee. We were celebrating the end of our daughter's freshman year at Clemson, and there were four college students and four adults. The house was exactly as pictured - beautiful and immaculate. I couldn't believe the extras that were available for our use -- from spices to beach towels. The kitchen was perfect for preparing dinners for a group - fully stocked with pots, pans, spices, and utensils. It is much more like a home than a rental. Thanks so much to the Hardys for sharing this wonderful spot!

I've never felt more at home in a house that wasn't my own home before! It was truly an amazing stay. The view, the house itself, everything made this one of the best family vacations we've ever had. The homeowners have thought of every possible detail to make your stay the most comfortable and easy going vacation of your life. No aspect of making you feel at home was left out. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a lake rental. Great location as well. So close to stores and restaurants. It truly is a dream house!!

Family and Friends from New England and Washington, DC converged at this lake house to celebrate daughter's graduation from Clemson University. Home is beautiful, well stocked with all you could need, and perfect for multiple families to cook together, dine together, and enjoy the lake view, fireplace, and fabulous setting. Home is in a very pretty residential neighborhood -- so be advised that you will have neighbors nearby. Owners, Jim and Diane Hardy, were great to work with as we set up this time away. Graduation celebration was a complete success.

Abolutely loved our stay in this lake home. The owners have thought of every last detail to make it feel like home. We loved walking to the Tiki Hut at the marina for dinner and live music, and our kids loved the toys and outdoor playspace. Two extrememely comfortable adult bedrooms. Other two rooms perfect for kids. Lower level also a very comfortable and private space for additional sleeping space. The lake view, convenient location and unbelievable well stocked kitchen (everything from spices to tupperware) make this place amazing. Hope to be back again soon!

We rented this house to celebrate my father's 70th birthday and we had a wonderful time. The house is spacious, clean and well furnished. The kitchen is stunning and very well stocked. Our boys loved the beach. My favorite spot was the lower deck with it's comfortable furniture and breathtaking lake views. It was quiet and peaceful. Thanks, Diane and Jim, for sharing your beautiful home with us. My father said this was the most relaxing weekend he's ever had.
