We had an amazing time! The house was fantastic. The view was beautiful and being able to use the dock was great for the boat we rented. The protected cove gave us tons of opportunity to swim, too.

We very much enjoyed our time at this lake house. The house was clean with an open concept. One side of the house was almost like its own suite, which was perfect for our families. The Lake view was beautiful and so peaceful. The host was wonderful to work with as well. I would highly recommend this house!!
Our view from the dock. So beautiful!

Good location even though at first glance you are put off by the entrance road. House was comfortable and fairly clean, bathrooms need a good cleaning. Great yard and dock and great location on the lake in a quiet cove. Would definitely stay there again.

Great Lake week

We absolutely love this property. We stayed here for the second time now, and it’s always so great to have the direct access to the water with the double dock. We often meet up with our friends on the lake, and having a space for them to park and come back and have lunch/dinner with us is a huge plus. Gary is always easy to work with, and we’ll probably be back for a third trip sometime soon.

Lake getaway

We had a great time. House was as described and very comfy. Met the lake neighbors while swimming and they were nice as well. Saw some deer early in the morning. My boys had a great time kayaking and swimming. Property was clean and window view and back-porch view was amazing.

Lake Keowee Stay

Our family stayed at the property for about 2 weeks. Location and the Lake access is amazing! Our kids went swimming daily off the dock, we did smores at the firepit at night, grilled out, etc. To be super transparent, it is a modular type home and there are no frills, but we did not need that. We wanted a clean, nice home, that our family could stay and enjoy the lake.

Perfect Place

Very clean. Plenty of towels and blankets. Well stocked kitchen. We stayed here for Clemson graduation and wish we found this place sooner If it’s available grab it. Close to Clemson but add extra time for event weekends.

Lake Keowee getaway

Listing was spot on with actual property. House was clean and had everything we needed. House was on a quiet cove of the lake which we loved. Plenty of space for our whole family. Enjoyed hikes in Oconee and Sumter. And beers at Keowee Brewing. Wi-Fi worked well. Good communication with owners. We had a really great stay!
