Lake Keowee Retreat! Swim, Boat, Kayak & Relax on Dock Just Steps from the Water

Lake Keowee Lakefront Retreat — Spacious, Serene & Perfect for Families

Discover your ideal lakefront escape at this stunning, private Lake Keowee retreat, designed for families and friends to reconnect, relax, and recharge. Nestled in a quiet wooded setting with direct lake access, this spacious two-level, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home comfortably sleeps 11 guests and offers everything you need for a memorable vacation—from sunrise paddles on the water to cozy evenings by the firepit.

Whether you’re planning a summer adventure, a fall getaway for Clemson football weekends, or a quiet off-season escape, this retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty.

Lakeside Living at Its Best
Step outside and feel the stress melt away. Two oversized decks—one covered, one open—offer stunning panoramic views of the lake and are just steps away from the water’s edge. Start your day with coffee while the mist rises from the cove, and end it with sunset cocktails or a warm blanket and a good book in the evening breeze.

No boat? No problem. There’s no better way to soak in the lake vibes than lounging on the upper deck, which features comfortable outdoor furniture, a patio dining table for six, a gas grill, and a propane fire table. It’s the ultimate spot for morning meals, afternoon sunbathing, or evening gatherings under the stars.

When you’re ready to cool off, walk down the gentle stone path to the dock and dive into the deep, clean, swimmable waters of Lake Keowee. Explore the cove on one of the included kayaks or our stand-up paddleboard, or simply float peacefully on an inflatable tube and watch the clouds drift by.

Inside the Retreat: Comfort Meets Style
The interior of the home is designed for maximum relaxation, with spacious living areas, tasteful rustic decor, and thoughtful amenities to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Main Level Highlights:
A bright, open-concept living room with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and lake views welcomes you the moment you enter.

Kick back on comfortable sofas and enjoy the gas fireplace or a movie night on the 70-inch flat-screen smart TV.

The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a spacious pantry, and everything you need to prepare and enjoy family meals.

A rustic-style dining table seats 8 comfortably and is perfect for long, leisurely dinners or card games after dark.

The main level also features a luxurious master suite with a plush king-sized bed, large windows overlooking the lake, and a private entrance to the upper deck. The en-suite master bathroom has been recently remodeled with a spacious tiled shower and modern fixtures, creating a true spa-like experience.

Lower Level: The Ultimate Hangout Spot
The lower level of the home is a cozy and welcoming space ideal for children, teens, or extended family members. It offers a second living room, additional sleeping quarters, and direct access to the lake.

Downstairs Features:
A second great room with a comfortable sectional sofa, large windows with lake views, and a laid-back vibe perfect for family board games, quiet reading, or rainy-day movies.

Bedroom 2: A large room with two cozy queen beds—great for adults or older kids who want to bunk together.

Bedroom 3: A queen bedroom with lake views, providing a serene, restful atmosphere.

Bedroom 4: A fun bunk room with a twin-over-queen bunk bed, perfect for kids or teens.

A full bathroom is also located on this level with all essentials provided.

Sliding doors lead out to the lower covered deck, which features a porch swing and additional lounge seating. Just beyond, a stone path leads to the dock and firepit patio—just 12 feet from the water!
