Ideal location! It's a10-minute walk to downtown Clemson, about the same to Death Valley, and just a few minutes further to core campus! The walk to all destinations is through a beautiful, wooded neighborhood. The main floor of our house has an open-plan kitchen / family room, two bedrooms both with en suite bathrooms, and a large covered porch and uncovered deck. The upper floor has two more bedrooms that share a common bathroom.
Note 1: because of Clemson city ordinance, no more than two families can rent at one time with a maximum of 10 people total.
Note 2: while the property is very close to the lake, we are not lakefront and do not have a dock.
Note 3: there is a separate garage apartment with a separate entrance that is rented by a graduate student. There are no shared spaces other than the driveway. The driveway is very wide and there is plenty of room for all to park.
The living area is an open floor plan with the kitchen and living room one large common area. The kitchen has seating for 6-8 at the table and 4 more at the bar. The living room has seating for 7 and a 65" TV. Also on the main floor is the laundry room and refrigerator.
On the back porch, you'll love the cozy sitting area. Adjacent to the porch is a large deck where you can relax or enjoy outdoor games including beanbag toss and giant Connect Four.

My family had an absolutely wonderful time visiting our daughter at Clemson over Easter weekend. The home was just as described, well-appointed, and in the perfect location.
We can’t wait to visit again!!!
The property is well maintained and had everything we could have needed. It was a perfect place for family to stay and gather for Clemson graduation. It is walkable to downtown. Kenneth was very responsive to our questions. Highly recommend this home, just sorry we found it at the end of our Clemson journey.
The location of this lovely house is perfect. If you are a Clemson fan, this is the place to stay. The outdoor area is really wonderful. You can lounge on a the couch & read, watch tv or play corn hole. We spent every evening out there.
We enjoyed our stay in Clemson! House and location was great. Had our family for our sons graduation. House was up-to-date, well stocked and back porch was awesome. Thanks for having us!
Wonderful home for entertaining, close to everything in Clemson
This home can't be beat with 4 bedrooms, large updated kitchen and huge back deck with covered porch to entertain your family and friends. House was very clean and comfortable for our family. It's close to everything in Clemson.
Girls weekend to celebrate my twins❤️ House was amazing and soo homey!! We loved the location and all the spaciousness of your precious home!! My daughter is a Clemson cheerleader soo we hope to stay here again❤️ Thank you for our early check in and making check out soo easy !!
A great home in a beautiful Clemson neighborhood, close to campus, town and the lake. The clean and updated home has all amenities you need. Plus it is full of Clemson memorabilia. I'd put this home high on your list for family and friends for football and sporting events and graduations.
We can’t say enough positive things about this property! The house was spotlessly clean, equipped with every possible thing we might have needed during our stay, and amazingly decorated for all of our Tiger fans. The back deck with fireplace was our favorite place to hang out but the set-up allows for easy gathering together overall as well as plenty of room for personal space. The host was quick and attentive, had excellent communication and provided many personal touches for our stay. We will definitely rent here again, and will recommend it to anyone else looking for an amazing rental in the perfect location!
Wow! This property exceeded expectations. Our family came to pick up our Tiger and stayed for a few days to enjoy the area. This home is in a perfect location, walking distance to downtown, the university, and the stadium. The perfect balance of indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces, and comfortable sleeping accommodations for all. We put the well appointed kitchen to the test cooking a full Thanksgiving day meal and it passed with flying colors. The hosts made us feel welcome and communicated quickly with any questions we had. Highly recommend!
The pictures truly do not do this home justice. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to entertain or even need to cook with. The back porch had entertainment for all ages. We hosted about 30 people for our daughters graduation and everyone was comfortable without feeling crowded plus entertained. The whole home sound system was perfect. I highly recommend this home to anyone. I just wish the pictures could actually tell you how wonderful the home actually is.
This was the perfect home for Clemson graduation and for any trip to Clemson! The house was perfect for a family or group of friends, and the host was extremely accommodating. Just a short 10 minute walk to downtown, campus, and many Clemson activities. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone!
This was the perfect place for our family to stay for our daughter’s graduation from Clemson. Close to university and town (totally walkable) the home itself is spacious and adorable with a back porch and yard made for fun! We enjoyed our own corn hope tournament thanks to the games provided. Kenny was so helpful and responsive from booking to check out. My only complaint is that we didn’t find this place when she was a freshmen!
We were in town for a family event. The house was in a perfect location, easy walking distance to restaurants and a quick drive to the botanical gardens. The house was clean and modern, great house for a family.
This property is phenomenal! The house was incredibly clean and had absolutely everything. The inside has enough bedrooms/beds to sleep a larger group, plus the outdoor deck, fireplace, and outdoor tv really make the property. The house also has all of the outdoor games you can imagine... cornhole, connect4, jenga, dice, etc. The location is great, being very close to the downtown area, restaurants, bars, and campus.
We could not have been happier with the property and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone who is looking for an amazing house in Clemson!
Ideal home - great location, spacious, and spotless
After excellent communication with the host and an easy check-in, we found a sweet welcome note on the kitchen counter. This was indicative of all the other comforts during our stay. The home was large enough for our family with plenty of beds and bathrooms. The kitchen is the true heart of the home and where we spent most of our time. The location is truly ideal - a quiet neighborhood but only an 8-10min walk to downtown and campus. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone staying in the area.
My first time using VRBO. Wonderful house/location.

About the host
Hosted by Kenny Schmidt
If you don’t already know this about Clemson, you will soon - Clemson will grab a hold of your heart and never let go! We met here in 1992. Kenny graduated in 1992 with a degree in Computer Science, and Jean-Anne graduated in 1995 with a degree in Psychology. We married in 1997 and settled in Charlotte, NC in 1999. We have been IPTAY members and football season ticket holders since then. Until we bought this house, we made the road trip from Charlotte to nearly every home game. Now, we feel fortunate to have this home for welcoming many friends and family to our tailgates.
We have two children. Our son, Hank, graduated in 2024 and our daughter, Chadley Gray, graduated in May 2025! Our children are the third generation Clemson graduates. Kenny’s parents also met and married while students here in the late 1960s, and Kenny was born here in 1969 while they were students. There is even a photo of him and his father in the 1970 yearbook (TAPS).
We are delighted that our home will be part of your Clemson memories. Please make yourselves at home and enjoy your stay!
