From booking through check-out, the process was so easy. The host was very responsive to all my questions and my family and I were blown away by the property. The pictures don't do it justice. Such a beautiful location and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very highly recommend!

Incredible view of a pristine lake! My family enjoyed the use of the kayaks and the fire pit (even firewood was provided!) We also enjoyed the vast assortment of board games, and the ping-pong and foosball tables. The TV room in the basement was nice…but we barely used it! Of course, my twenty-something year old children required top-notch WiFi and, thankfully, the home didn’t disappoint! It had everything we needed: Dishes, towels, bed-linens, etc. We loved that the property was SO private. Yes, there are neighbors but you cannot see/hear each other because the properties have thick tree/shrub borders. It made our entire stay nothing but peace and quiet! Finally, the host was excellent. He provided all of the communication needed but wasn’t overly intrusive, either. This allowed us to relax and enjoy a great lake home on wonderful Lake Keowee!

The views are great, especially of the sunrise. The house accommodated the 6 of us well, where we either had our own bed or our own room.The guys in our group loved having the ping pong table and the fooseball table to play with. The ladies just chilled on the deck for evening cocktails and conversation.We spent the days exploring up towards Highlands and down towards Lake Russell.Nice quiet neighborhood. Would definitely use again.

Great Lake location

The lake location and variety of paddle boards and kayaks thoroughly entertained our group all week including, grandparents, parents, teens and a 5 year old. The house accommodated us all but needs maintenance and improvements to match the level of other rentals we’ve had in the area with similar rates.

Great Week at the Lake

The house was very clean and located in a great little neighborhood. The outdoor spaces were also great and the views of the lake and sunrise were amazing. The inside of the house could use some TLC, but it looked to me like there were some repairs/renovations in progress. If you are looking for the modern version of a lake house, this isn't it, but if you are looking for the more traditional version of the lake retreat, then this house fits the bill. Our family had a great time and I would recommend this house and would stay here again.

Outside Is Beautiful - Inside Needs Work

The outside areas were wonderful - deck, dock, kayaks, lilypad, and swimming area. Everyone enjoyed them. The inside had a lot of deferred maintenance - towel racks missing or hanging loose, duct tape in many areas holding things together. Things that are usually present in a nice VRBO were missing such as towels in each bathroom, organized kitchen, etc. We had a great time, but the owner should look at his house with a more critical eye to these areas.

Great lake house

Great location with lakefront property and dock. I know some previous reviews mentioned cleanliness but in our experience everything was completely clean. A few parts of the house are still older and unremodeled and might not give a crisp appearance, such as a bathroom sink that needs to be replaced and one room with carpeting that is very worn, but as far as I could tell it was clean. For convenience, there is a Dollar General and a liquor store just a mile down the road. The nearest town is about 15 minutes drive.

Best feature was the view!

Otherwise we were disappointed with the property. A broken window (no glass, just a warped screen) in one of the bedrooms was concerning; and it was 33 degrees at night. We also had a few cold showers when only 2 were showering. We contacted the host and they were responsive but didn’t remedy either situation. We were in Seneca for a funeral so didn’t spend much time at the house. We’d planned on hosting a family dinner but ended up not.

so on Wed myself and the cleaner were at the house and the window was fine. They called Friday to say a glass pane was missing and it looked like it was knocked out from the inside. The house has 2 new hot water heaters and we have never had a complaint. We tried to explain to them how to use the shower faucet handles and we assume they had figured it out. House has great views and no open windows as the glass pane was fixed that Tuesday

Avoid this rental & this host! Nightmare!

I have never left a negative review on any rental. Had nice features: location on lake, not much boat traffic, the view, "beach" area, kayaks & paddle boards available. Unfortunately the cons outweighed the pros. Pictures are not updated. At check-in we were told the garage was not usable. House was unlocked & dirty upon arrival. The house needed to be swept, mopped & dusted. Garage was full of personal items & only had room for a couple of coolers. This prevented us from having enough room to park vehicles/boat trailers as we had planned. Oven smokes significantly, very dirty. Microwave handle held on with duct tape. Glass top stove is cracked, unusable. Dryer full of lint, takes 2-3 cycles to dry a small load of clothing. Resulted to hang drying most of our clothing for worry of fire. Owners personal affects filled closets that took up space that could be used by renters. Side yard had the owners boats parked there, further limiting the space we had planned for. Poorly done renovations: unfinished paint jobs, duct tape holding screen on screen door, exposed nails in deck. Boat in lift & lift unusable. Jet skis blocking boat parking. No jaccuzi, pool table or fitness equipment as listed. Threatened by owners & neighbors. Owners harassed us during & after stay regarding "broken rules" not listed on rental agreement. Requests for additional charges & withholding damage deposit for having "too many vehicles/boats & dogs on property". Scam to get more $$$. STAY AWAY!

This home did not disappoint when it came to location. The lake view is absolutely breathtaking, and the land surrounding the property is gorgeous. We spent almost all of our time outdoors and never ran out of things to do: kayaks, floats, fishing rods, a lake mat, and a ping pong table kept everyone entertained from morning to night. It was truly the perfect setup for a family who loves being outside.The home itself has a lot of character and the layout worked well for our group. A few things could use some updating and extra cleaning attention, but we were outside enjoying the lake most of the time! For anyone who loves water activities and beautiful scenery, this spot is hard to beat.

Perfect Lake Keowee getaway!

Our group of teenagers and adults enjoyed a wonderful long Thanksgiving weekend here. Our host George was extremely easy to get in touch with, and was so accommodating when we decided to add an extra night to our stay. The home is a charming place on beautiful Lake Keowee and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The pictures do not do it justice - it is a very roomy home! You can tell it has been well-loved by the family for many years. We especially enjoyed the framed children’s artwork throughout! The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you’d need to cook. The deck also has a nice grill and seating area that I wish we would have had time to enjoy! The basement provides lots of entertainment for all ages with the TV, foosball and ping pong table. You can walk right out to the fire pit area, private beach and dock from both the upstairs den area and basement. We loved sitting on the deck watching both the sunrise and the sunset! The home is very close to downtown Seneca (which is a must-visit!) and to Clemson University. Perfect location! We appreciate the Moore Family sharing their home & look forward to staying again in the future!

Not what we thought when booking

The view and location of the house were great. However, the pictures are not accurate of current state of the house. Items we did not expect were - Thermostat (Nest) was disconnected from network upstairs so we could only control lower level. Likely original external slide doors that needed wood pieces to block sliding. Dining room was an addition that had ceiling/roof leak near chimney. Icemaker did not work. Complete lower floor has a drop ceiling to hide wires and cables so the ceiling height is not standard. Bedroom 2 had animal urine smell we had to spray Lysol to overcome. The trundle bedroom had pet hair on every mattress and sheets. We were short complete linens in this room. We had a problem with hot water lasting beyond a single shower. Smoke detectors were removed from original locations. The dock had a handful of boards with blue tape to show they were rotting. Our guess overall was It appeared to be a weekend renovation home that is being rented in parallel. ie Master room and bath are original brown frame and trim with some baseboard trying to be painted white until it reached furniture and the painting stopped.

Why they chose this property

We looked at several lakefront homes and went with the one with by far the best view. We have five children and wanted a good family home with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to slow down and enjoy life - and smell the roses. Yes - I love to garden as you can see! Fire pit, family games, kayaks/paddle boards. Creating memories!

What makes this property unique

We use the lake house regularly so its always stock with the little items you need and the house is well maintained.
