We're very disappointed that we can only give the property and owner a rating of 5-star - both deserve a TEN-PLUS RATING! The Cottage was amazing: clean!, extremely well appointed, quiet and had a nice view of the marina. Despite the heavy rains which limited our outdoor plans, we instead enjoyed a comfortable, relaxing weekend in the cottage. Location-wise, the cottage is close to everything in Seneca (grocery stores, restaurants, activities, etc.). If you are able to stay at this cottage (it's popular), you'll be absolutely glad you did!

We had an amazing time staying in the houseboat. The inside was extremely clean, great selection of snacks were provided and the mattress in the main bedroom was extremely comfortable. We were blown away by how awesome the house boat was.

Bradey was an incredible host. The Houseboat was perfect with a nice welcome letter, bottle of wine and monogramed glasses. Definitely want to return in the near future.

The inside was beautiful.We really enjoying ourselves. The only suggestion that I have, if you could offer some sort of ramp for boarding or leaving the house boat.

It was beautiful. With traffic, it was further from Clemson than I anticipated. However, a great place to stay & would definitely return.

We always felt like top priority at the property!

In addition to the houseboat, the family rented one of the luxury cottages. WOW!!! The family was from PA, MD & VA and they all felt like VIPs!!! Sending a heartfelt thank you to the crew at Keowee Marina!!! Definitely will stay again!!!

Excellent Choice!

The houseboat was beautiful inside and out! Loved the welcome sign and you could smell the cleanliness the moment we walked in. Much bigger than expected. The "welcome goodies" were a nice touch. King bed was super comfy, the bedroom was very spacious and the view was fabulous. Will definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends!

Host and owner were very nice and accommodating. Boat was clean and beds were very comfortable. Microwave did not work but a new one had been ordered. This was no issue as we used the air fryer for what we needed. Suggestion would be to have cart’s available for transporting your bags/fishing gear from the car to the boat. Will come again and recommend to others.
