About this property

Keowee Waterfront Lakeside Retreat -Keowee Cottage

Lake Keowee Lake Side Retreat! Keowee Cottage is nestled in a lovely cove on a privately owned 20+ acre property. Explore native, natural beauty in this forested setting featuring nature trails, lake access, a sandy shoreline, a firepit, & great views. Shared use of the lakeside Pavilion is an added bonus, you will mostly have it to yourselves but on occasion the owners may be present sharing the space with family and friends.

The cottage features open living, dining, & a well-equipped kitchen. Please note there is no boat dock, however, there is trailer parking on-site & several nearby boat ramps. We are dog-friendly and we are often told the dogs had the time of their lives! Guests are fully responsible for their dogs.

Lake Keowee is a beautiful man-made hydroelectric lake. Water levels can fluctuate a foot up or down at any time. The shoreline is considered public, so the occasional boat or two may be pulled up on the sandbar enjoying the lake.

Please note we have a 14-day maximum stay and if a stay is 7 days or longer, the owner will perform an inventory and restock assessment on the 8th day, which will be arranged with the guest.

Location: GPS will get you close but may tell you the property is not on the lake. Bear in mind the property is 20+ acres and the driveway winds for 1/2 mile down to the lake. Our reviews happily attest to the location.

Maggie had everything ready for our Thanksgiving weekend and some amazing memories were made! The cottage and pavilion are beautiful & the lake view is stunning (especially at sunrise with the fog rolling off the water)! Hubby enjoyed using the kayak while I curled up on the porch to read. Highly recommend this property!!

This was one of the best VRBO stays I've had. Everything from the cleanliness to the local information provided to the baskets full of everyday items in case you forget something is more than I could have asked for. Maggie and Mike were very easy to reach and they communicated promptly. The level of relaxation found at this cozy little cottage was beyond my expectations. We will definitely be back sooner than later.
