Fun Family Vacation

We had a great time here. The dock was very nice and the kid’s favorite spot. The house had plenty of space and the basement was a great hangout for the kids.

Cozy Lake House

This place was perfect for our family trip! Beautiful scenery and plenty of space. The WiFi can get a little iffy when too many people are connected, but stepping onto the back porch and looking out at the lake was enough to get good cell service 😉 The host is very attentive and checked on us each day. 10/10 would stay here again!

Family wedding

The property was in a great location. We rented a boat and brought it right up to the dock. Some of the party fished while the others just relaxed. Chas was very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Overall a great stay.

Peaceful get away at the lake!

We had a wonderful week relaxing at Lake Keowee for the week. We enjoyed long days on the dock, splashing on the lily pad, fishing, sitting on the shaded deck and just being together. The house had all we needed for a family of 11, ranging in age from 11 years old to 75 years old. The kids enjoyed kayak rides and relaxing downstairs in the basement too. The weather was perfect, the two story dock was awesome, the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed, and the location was super convenient to Walhalla, Seneca and Clemson. We truly had a great week!

Wonderful house and host!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful, accommodating home! We were there for a mother-daughter retreat, and the downstairs space was perfect for the girls. Plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. The kayaks were great to have, as well as the fire pit. Host was very responsive and helpful. Very close to stores, and we drove to Issaquena Falls for a short walk and beautiful view. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay! (One thing to note, the downstairs bathroom is in the bedroom, so anyone sleeping in the bunk room will need to go through the bedroom or upstairs to use the bathroom.)

Weekend Stay

This was a brief weekend trip with friends. Unfortunately, we did not get to spend as much time at the house as we would have liked since we were all visiting kids at Clemson and plans shifted. However, I would recommend this lake house for both short or longer stays. Very clean and spacious interior that has been nicely updated. Plenty of amenities in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable with updated en suite baths. The dock is amazing and provides wonderful lake views from the quiet cove. Chas was very responsive when we reached out with questions. We would definitely stay again when we can enjoy the lake more.

Unmet Expectations

Older home ... very nice, new boat dock and house nice and clean inside, but deck badly needs pressure washing and stain ... windows had a lot of febris and spider webs ... same with porch furniture ... property a bit overgrown with weeds ... while advertised to sleep 15, more accurately should state 8 adults and 4 children (bunk beds) ... also, dining table only seats 6 comfortably ... we had 14 and house was very crowded for meals and living room ... host/owner very nice and accomodating for our boat docking

Labor Day Weekend

Located in a quiet channel away from the main boating areas. Property is dated. It has many spider webs and leaves. Decent area to fish. We caught bluegill, bass, catfish and a turtle. Kids wanted this place because the listing said it had a game table.."The foosball table converts to a pool table, air hockey table and shuffleboard table, offering hours of fun " BUT THIS WAS NOT HERE. THERE IS NO GAME TABLE OF ANY KIND. So, no hours of fun... It still says they have this.? Owner was helpful with getting the college football game on the TV.
