Perfect location and size

My family stayed here for my daughter's graduation. It was a great location; easy to get to campus for events and restaurants. The house was a great size to accommodate our family, and we thoroughly enjoyed the lake. The property is very clean and well maintained. These hosts are top notch! We will be back!!

Wonderful Getaway

I cannot say enough good things about this property and the hosts. They were so accommodating, and they were quick to answer questions as well as check in and see how things were going. The house was perfect for us. It was very clean upon arrival, and the layout of the house was perfect for teenagers wanting to get away and adults wanting their own time. We had a great time and cannot wait to get back up there again.

Perfect getaway

Decided to take a family trip for my husbands 60th birthday due to being unable to have a party Best decision ever. This home is perfect for a family. Spotless and the kitchen is better equipped than my own. Extremely responsive owners recommended a marina and a boat rental was also a breeze. Game room is amazing and the lake views are stunning!!!! Lovely property.

Wow! One of the best places we have stayed. Everything and I mean everything was thought of here. The kitchen was WELL stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay just bring the food! Oh and the views off the back deck and dock were spectacular!!! We had the best time.

Memory Maker

Our family has stayed 3 years in a row and loved it here..Very clean and spacious. Gathering at the private dock, (which now has electricity) swimming, fishing , and sunbathing were our favorite things to do.. Loved the kitchen island, so all of us could share in cooking and hanging out. Kevin was only a phone call away if we had questions. Very attentive to us! Would definitely come back again! Jaine B

Anniversary celebration

We went to this home because it accommodates 10. The home is beautiful and they have everything you could possibly need. We have 5 grandsons and they enjoyed the pool table, Pac Man machine and lots of video games. We rented a pontoon twice and everyone had a blast tubing. The only downsides for me were no trash pickup and quite a hike down to the lake for a 70 year old. I would happily recommend this home. Thanks to the host.

Relax and enjoy!

We so enjoyed this lovely lake house for our second stay for the week! The owners are readily available to answer all questions and are very gracious hosts. Our Grandchildren love this house with its huge private dock. Fishing ,boating kayaking, and swimming are just part of the experience. The downstairs game room kept us all busy and entertained! A very well stocked kitchen for a large group was awesome. There is plenty to do there and close to Clemson and Seneca. We will definitely be back again!

Great home for the Family

We rented the home for the week of Christmas 2020. It is a nice and beautiful home. The kids enjoyed the basement/game room and deck. The kitchen was fully stocked (including left over items from previous guest). An added plus, the kitchen had just been upgraded and it well exceeded our expectations. I loved that the owners stayed in contact with us. Being from Florida our only negative was no snow (smile). We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely visit again, hopefully in the summer to take full advantage of the lake.

Clemson family football weekend.

Kevin could not have been nicer and more accommodating to us for our family football weekend at clemson. He let us check in whenever and let us stay a bit later to accommodate our return travel plans on the last day. He left a lure he had success with to aid us in our fishing which unfortunately was not successful. And they had left a while bunch of restaurant menus and we ordered in wanting to spend as much time in his beautiful house. We had a fire going and it was a magical family weekend. Highly recommend this lovely house on the lake and working with Kevin. Easily accommodated all 8 of us.

Awesome relaxing week with family

Home was wonderful. Super clean and inviting. We all loved the game room. Kids loved small beach on property. Home was well stocked with all we needed. We stayed during the week and the lake was awesome, not busy at all. Rented a boat from Clemson Marina and they have a great Monday -Thursday deal. This was our first time to this area, and I was not aware that all 3 lakes do not connect; this would have been good to know since I almost rented a boat from a marina at Lake Keowee. Also, be aware when renting a pontoon boat that you will need to take down the shade awning going under each bridge. Overall, we had a fantastic vacation and loved the lake and the house. We would for sure return!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin & Cris McDonald

Host profile image
We are a middle-aged couple with a 14 year old son. Kevin is originally from Montana and Cris from Texas. We live and work in the Greenville area and Love this area. We like the outdoors and enjoy various outdoor activities. We purchased this house in June of 2017 and planned from the start to make it a vacation rental. We Love this Home and plan to retire here in 8 years!

Why they chose this property

This is a quiet location. Not a lot of boat traffic and the neighborhood is very peaceful. The lake offers great fishing, boating, swimming and fun, fun, fun. New high-speed Wi-Fi and Internet became available and put icing on the cake.

What makes this property unique

When at the Lake House we feel secluded in a peaceful, natural environment ready to enjoy the lake life, grill our favorite meals and entertain family and friends, yet we are only 10 minutes from Seneca and 15 minutes from Clemson where we can enjoy urban entertainment, good restaurants and the Clemson Tigers.
We have the Best of Both Worlds.
