The pet-friendly house was clean, beds were comfortable, great game room, and met our expectations. The host provided many extras like spices, toilet paper, etc. The property was very nice with a lake view and a fabulous porch. The dock was also nice and provided a good launching point for swimming and kayaks however the host did have their own boat there which made it a little difficult to also dock our boat. The kayaks were fun but 2 of 4 are geared for people less than 150 lbs which eliminated most of our adult and teens.Overall the house worked out well for our multi-generational family of 12.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Jun, 2026
Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the home, game room, comfortable beds, lake views, and many of the extras we provide for our guests. For future guests, the dock and boat slip are pictured accurately in our listing, including our boat being stored in its designated slip. We also provide complimentary kayaks for guest use, which many lakefront rentals do not offer. The available kayaks vary in size and are intended to accommodate different users, and we encourage guests to review the listing photos and amenities prior to arrival to ensure the property is a good fit for their group's needs. We're pleased the home worked well for your multi-generational family of 12 and appreciate you choosing to stay with us.

Great Location and Family Home

This property was located perfectly on Lake Keowee, it was quiet and scenic. We enjoyed staying on this side of the Lake as it was easy to travel to most of the Waterfall and Hiking destinations very quickly saving 15-20min if we stayed in other locations. The house was great, clean, and had everything we needed. There was great space for the kids to play and they really enjoyed the bunk room. Great stay and would recommend to others.

Great property & great location, kitchen is well stocked which is huge for us because we cooked all of our meals. The twin room only had 2 mattresses as opposed to the 3 in the photo, in the bunk room the upper bunks weren’t made (to be fair I didn’t mention this to the host because it wasn’t an enormous deal just a slight hiccup). Over all a good experience.

Beautiful Home

This is a beautiful home. It would have received all 5 stars except for the long no wake zone to the main body of the lake. The home is well equipped with tons of stuff to do! The short easy walk to the dock is hard to find.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Jul, 2024
Hi Belinda - the no wake zone doesn't start at our home; it starts later and takes ~5 minutes to get through. Everyone coming to a SC lake should know it's an no wake zone within 100 feet of *any* dock, not just those in an official "no wake zones". Being respectful of all lake owners' properties and docks is imperative to maintaining the safety and integrity of our shorelines.

About the host

Hosted by Mary V.

Host profile image
We're a family of five from North Carolina. Lake Keowee has been our family's "happy place" since 2012. Time moves slower here, and there's no better place to relax and connect with family. We are midwesterners originally and cheer for Purdue (our alma matter), Clemson (of course), and now Chapel Hill!

Why they chose this property

This is in the best part of the lake, surrounded by other gorgeous newer homes and convenient to everything Seneca/Clemson have to offer. We have no HOA, so you don't have to jump through hoops or books of rules while trying to enjoy the lake. Our neighbors are kind, mostly permanent residents, and as long as you respect them and their spaces, you'll have a great time!

What makes this property unique

Our home vibe is "comfortable". You'll actually feel good here and won't feel on edge in our home. We also pay attention to detail; our home isn't full of leftover family furniture from decades ago (as are so many rentals). Almost everything is brand new as of 2024. We want you to feel up to date, relevant, and comfortable while on vacation. Our property is unique because it's not part of a neighborhood, (many of which have older permanent residents who frankly loathe renters and watch them like hawks). We respect our neighbors and expect guests to, too, but it's just a house on the lake when you're here, and it's ALL yours. We're ten minutes to the marina, ten minutes to ice cream/gas, and five minutes to the Lighthouse Restaurant. By car, we're just five minutes from a gas station, liquor store, and Dollar General, and just ten minutes to literally everything else. Clemson is a quick 20 minute drive door-to-door. Awesome hiking to 100' waterfalls is just fifteen minutes away!
