About this property

Best Lake Keowee Views and Private Boat Dock!


Beautiful Lake Keowee lake front home with "big water" views. Located on an acre of gardens that allow you to enjoy your family, friends or just some quiet time. Great location only 8 minutes to Seneca and 15 miles to Clemson. There is a dollar store just a couple minutes away for any forgotten items or extra ice. This home is perfect for all Clemson activities including Parent weekend, graduation and all sporting events.

Our home has three indoor seating areas, each with a TV, to spread out and enjoy different views of the lake. There is a bedroom on the main floor with a queen bed, and a bedroom downstairs with a queen bed. The third bedroom has two full beds, and both have twin trundles. The perfect bedroom for kids. One of the seating areas has a sleeper sofa with a king pullout for another sleeping option. There are two full baths that have double vanities.

Enjoy the lake views from the decks on comfortable furniture. Have fun at the lake on our sandy beach in the summer (at normal lake level), using one of our kayaks, or swimming from the boat dock. Tie off your boat at the dock or rent a boat or jet skis at Lake Keowee Boat Marina or High Falls Boat Rentals. Play corn hole on our lawn. In the evening, make s’mores around the fire pit.

Located perfectly for many day-trips: hiking, mountain villages, festivals, white water rafting, quilt trail and more.

Perfect for a multi-generational family or just a couple needing quiet time.
Make this beautiful lake front home yours!

On your computer, enjoy a video of the exterior grounds.

This is a great house located on a prime spot on Lake Keowee. Plenty of amenities, lots of space to hang out (both indoors and outdoors) and easy access to the lake. My family and I enjoyed ourselves and we are already looking forward to next year's trip !

Beautiful location, amazing house

The house is situated right on the lake with beautiful outdoor space! There is a small beach area to easily get in the water, a great deck, full dock, fire pit, porch swings, everything you need to make an amazing weekend at the lake. The hosts include all the things you could need like beach towels, kayaks, deck chairs, and cornhole. The hosts were very responsive, answering any questions quickly. We’d definitely stay here again!

Lake with wife & grandkids

Overall great trip and enjoyed a few days at the lake. Having a little area to get in the water/beach area and spending time on the dock was really relaxing. Having the kayak to out in lake was something we all looked forward to doing (would suggest assorted sizes in life vests). Our dogs enjoyed being on the lake and was fun watching their reaction. Played ping pong at different times of the day, so that was a lot of fun for grandkids. Several TVs in the home was a nice touch. Home was well equipped and will look forward to coming back.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had the BEST time at this lakehouse! From swimming and floating in the lake all day to heated ping pong tournaments in the evening, there was never a dull moment. The men loved fishing (even though they didn't catch a thing) and we all took turns enjoying peaceful canoe and kayak rides. We soaked up tons of sunshine and even dodged a few pop-up showers that couldn’t dampen our fun.The house had everything we needed—truly a home away from home. And let me just say, the award-winning air conditioning was the unsung hero of the trip! After long days in the sun, it was the perfect way to cool down.Wonderful memories made with family—this place gave us exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug, unwind, and reconnect.

Families Birthday Weekend

Joint Birthday Weekend with Two Young Families.The location and lake access of the property was excellent! Our friends and children thoroughly enjoyed being on the water and experiencing Lake Keowee. We certainly made some memories together. There were a few issues concerning the house and grounds. One of the queen beds was not made when we arrived, so there were no sheets or pillow cases included. Also, the main refrigerator was not cleaned out from the previous guests food items. I found the ladder for the floating dock to have been sheared off and laying with the house kayaks in the side yard. I also found the large umbrella for the deck picnic table to be broken in half and laying on the lower deck of the house. Some of the sliding glass and screen doors on the upper and lower decks could use some attention as well for smoother function.Positive stay overall though!

Breathtaking Views

Our stay at the lake house was a perfect getaway. The property is beautifully maintained with breathtaking views of the lake. The house itself is spacious, elegantly furnished, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor area, including the private dock and fire pit, was ideal for relaxing and enjoying the serene environment. I can't recommend this lake house highly enough for anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious retreat. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Enjoyable Stay with Family

We had an enjoyable stay at this property. The interior of the home was very clean and comfortable. The home was stocked with nearly everything we needed. The bathrooms in the home are updated and clean. The kitchen cabinets/counters are in need of updating but was clean and there was ample space in cabinets/pantry/frig to store all the food items we purchased. The exterior of the home has well established and beautiful landscaping. Some work is needed to the pathways. There is some unnecessary items cluttering the exterior that should be removed to make the property more beautiful. When we arrived at the property there was a a lot of leaves/sticks/pine needles on the decks and outside furniture and I do know there was a significant amount of rain the weekend prior to our arrival so I don't know if this is typical. The provided blower was helpful to remedy this situation. The boat dock was a great place to watch the sunset. There is a lot of boat traffic in the area so there can be a lot of waves in the swim area, but the swim area was nice with a sandy bottom. We had a lot of high wind from the southwest during our stay which along with the boat traffic made it difficult to dock the pontoon boat we rented. I would definitely recommend renting in mid/late May. The weather was just right (low to mid eighties) and water was still refreshing (mid to high seventies).
