Map & Owner's Profile
Perfect Lake Keowee Waterfront Vacation Home & Boat Rentals
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Seneca
Lake Keowee is a huge lake with all kinds of inlets, parks and places to explore. Being close to the town of Seneca is a nice advantage as it provides a small-town feel, with lots of Southern hospitality, but also has all the modern conveniences including two grocery stores, a Super Wal-Mart, lots of great restaurants, a movie theater and a bowling alley. A short way further and you are in the college town of Clemson. We especially enjoy providing accommodations for the fanatic Clemson Tiger football alumni who gather every Fall at our home for Clemson homecoming weekends. There is no lack of things to do between the Lake, the towns, the many state parks, hiking trails, tennis, golf and the list goes on and on.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Lake Keowee is almost impossible to describe. The closest we can come is to suggest reading the reviews of folks who have stayed at our house. The house is located within a quiet cove with close access to the main body of water. We especially enjoy spending time on the dock swimming and fishing. The sandy beach is great for putting out a towel and catching some sun. It is so relaxing taking out the kayaks or the canoe or sitting on the swing in the gazebo as the sun is going down looking over the Lake. Reading a book on the hammock out by the lake is also a nice relaxing activity. When we want to be more active there is always basketball to be played or horseshoes at the horseshoe pits. There are also free tennis courts not far away at the county park. Oh, did we mention about taking the boat out on the Lake. We enjoy taking a leisurely ride to the waterfalls toward the northern part of the Lake. The kids desire a more active boat ride with waterskiing, wakeboarding and tubing. We are located on a peninsula and so going for a walk is always a treat because you catch lake views no matter where you go. The house is a blast with the movie theater, lots of games , foosball, pinball, electric piano, exercise bike, computer, video games and just hanging out with good company. We tend to gravitate toward the porch room to sit and talk and look out at the lake. As owners, we take great pride and pleasure in providing as much amenities and comforts as possible so those visiting can enjoy the Lake House as much as we do. It is extremely rewarding and gratifying hearing the stories that folks provide of the enjoyment they experience at our lake house with their family and friends.

We just arrived back from Lake Keowee on Sunday (stopped in Aiken to see my mother). We had a mixed group of family, friends and a long lost cousin. We had a wonderful time everything that we did. The lake was unbelievable. We are used to being on lakes in unstate Ny, NH and Maine. This was by far the BEST! Loved having the little beach and water so pleasant you could just walkin and enjoy. The boat is a must, we had all adults who loved to either swim, water ski or tube. What a blast they had! Enjoyed Monday night football on big tv! Played games in the yard, and many places to play card games or board games for all of us. Every morning enjoyed the screened porch for coffee and just enjoying the lake! We were lucky, friends have a family home up on the northern part of the lake that had suggested it would be a good place for vacation and they were right!

Every rental has bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.. But how many have a Theater with first class equipment, plus a fine electric piano where we could sing and entertain each other? ! It is well maintained, well decorated, and very well instructed on using every appliance and technology in the place. This owner was most accomodating of our emergency situation that required rescheduling--a very nice person to work with. Located at a close drive to multiple fine resturants, this was a perfect place for "off'season" relaxing when the lake was beautiful, if too cold for swimming! We loved it! We played horseshoes, basketball, and good walks outside, but we'd like to try it in the summer with boating and their private sand beach.

A long weekend in November, we had five couples whose children have grown up together & are now in college (several at Clemson) stay in this house. The size worked well for us since each couple had a bedroom & three had their own bathrooms, while the other two shared the upstairs one. The kitchen was well-stocked with items we needed to prepare our tailgate food and there were plenty of other supplies & conveniences, including two coffee makers for regular & decaf. It was an easy drive into Clemson & after the game, most of the traffic goes the other way towards Greenville or Anderson. We enjoyed going into Seneca to Rudy's on Ramcat Alley for dinner one night - excellent!

We have stayed at many vacation rentals but the Grandis Getaway is one of the very best. The owners have thought of almost every amenity to truly enjoy your stay. The property is located in a very convenient location on the lake and just a quick drive into town. But if you stay here there would be no need to go anywhere else. This home provides everything...Just bring your clothes and some food and your set. The home was a lovely modern decor and extremely clean and well maintained. And the added bonus... they allowed our 2 four legged children. The only bad part about the trip was having to leave. We will defiantly be back.

We vacationed at Lake Keowee the last week of July with our 3 kids and 2 of their friends. We travel alot and have stayed in several homes and this is definitely one of the best. The kitchen is well-stocked and great if you want to cook. Very nice grill on the large deck. Lots of things for the kids to do and places for them to hang-out. They were close enough to be safe, but could spread out enough to give everyone elbow room. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to everyone.

Mike, Just wanted to tell you that we had a WONDERFUL time in your lovely home. The pictures did not do it justice. It was much more than we expected. The best part was that everything was spic & span. The kitchen was so well equiped and many things like the toilet tissue and paper towel was certainly a plus. Love the decor. Every May me & my siblings and their spouses get together at a half way point and we look forward to coming back next year. Thank You! Rodger & Brenda Morris Sterling, VA

We spent 10 days at the Grandis Getaway during what SC called the coldest weather in 7 years. We spent a lot of time inside watching movies - the theater room was great. The house had every amenity you could ask for and then some. In addition, we found the house has been well-maintained and very clean. Thank you!

Our family Christmas get-together was as perfect as a Norman Rockwell painting. The young and old enjoyed this beautiful, family-friendly home with it's warm, comfortable, beautiful and superb amenities. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was a joy and a blessing that will be remembered by all forever through the many photos and videos that were taken. There were four generations of family for the holidays ranging in age from 77 to 1 year old. There was something for everyone to enjoy, thanks to the Grandis' thoughtful preparation of their home for guest visitors.
