About this property

Lake Keowee Waterfront Retreat! We call it The Hideaway!

It's lake life, and with lake life comes swimming, fishing, boating, being outdoors, and grilling out! Our house is perfect for two families, small group gatherings, and Clemson football fans (and other fans too:). Pricing for home game weekends go up on those weekends. We post those rates once we know which weekends those games are on. Thank you for your patience!

At the Hideaway, there are plenty of areas for people to congregate whether it be at our new double slip dock, on our two-tiered back deck, or at the the beautiful fire pit table. Inside there is the awesome reclining sectional in the living room (four recliners!) as well as the pub table or the dining room table. We have 3 dining areas inside and there is a double-sided fireplace partly separating the dining and living room for the colder months. We have a huge circular cement driveway with plenty of room for a trailer and multiple cars/SUVs. We have a fully stocked kitchen for cooking and entertaining. We have Dish TV, and AT&T Wi-Fi. There are three TV's: one in the living room, and one in each of the two rooms with the king beds.

-The second room has a king bed as well with a full bathroom right outside the door.
-There is a queen bed in the third room.
-The kids' room has bunk beds with a twin on top and a full-on bottom.

Lake Keowee Stay

Our family stayed at the property for about 2 weeks. Location and the Lake access is amazing! Our kids went swimming daily off the dock, we did smores at the firepit at night, grilled out, etc. To be super transparent, it is a modular type home and there are no frills, but we did not need that. We wanted a clean, nice home, that our family could stay and enjoy the lake.

Keowee Lakeside Retreat

Our family was hoping for a getaway sanctuary that we could use to enjoy the natural beauty of the Lake Keowee area while still being close enough to visit our daughter for family weekend at Clemson. "The Hideaway", as the owner's call this property, suited us perfectly. There was plenty of space for our family of four to spread out (though there could have even been more guests). The picturesque views outside of the front windows of the living room allowed for relaxing in the peaceful setting of the trees and lakeshore. Having access to two boat docks allowed us the opportunity to rent a ski boat from a local company and truly enjoy this immense lake and all that it has to offer. It was a quiet, clean space that we thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely return some day if the opportunity arises.

Lake getaway

We had a great time. House was as described and very comfy. Met the lake neighbors while swimming and they were nice as well. Saw some deer early in the morning. My boys had a great time kayaking and swimming. Property was clean and window view and back-porch view was amazing.

Lake Keowee getaway

Listing was spot on with actual property. House was clean and had everything we needed. House was on a quiet cove of the lake which we loved. Plenty of space for our whole family. Enjoyed hikes in Oconee and Sumter. And beers at Keowee Brewing. Wi-Fi worked well. Good communication with owners. We had a really great stay!

Family vacation

We had a great time at the Hideaway. The house was clean and had ample room for our family of 8. It was stocked well with kitchen ware and essentials. The dock was nice and our grandchildren had a great time fishing. It would be perfect if there was a screened deck, but I highly recommend it to others. It is close to a Dollar General and Seneca for food or supplies.

Location beautiful but lodging not up to most guest standards

I waited several days to compose this review to gather my thoughts in a constructive manner (we too are ST rental hosts). We were in the Seneca area visiting my son for Clemson game day weekend. The pros: Pretty lakefront location, a nice big dock, and the home is decorated nicely as in the listing photos. The cons: There was no working drip coffee maker or water kettle. I reached out to ask about it and no response. Property thin on amenities bath and kitchen. The bedroom linens and towels are in dire need of replacement unless you are expecting 1-star or 2-star quality. There are no proper blankets or comforters on the beds or as extra. This is a manufactured home for those who care. The water pressure is low and hot water runs out quickly after 2-3 people shower. There were 5 guests in total. The mattresses were squishy and not very firm. The worst part is there is a roach infestation both alive and dead. It did appear that the manager/owner checked or did a walk-through prior to our arrival. There was 'sticky' paper in the queen bedroom closet full of dead roaches. We took a photo of it as proof. We made sure to shake out our belongings when we packed up. Suffice it to say this was our worst ST vacation rental experience to date.

Great layout!

The house was spacious and was a nice layout! We enjoyed swimming by the dock and using the kayaks/paddle board! We had three cars and a pontoon we pulled up there and parking with the pontoon was pretty easy. The covered floating dock made using the pontoon during our stay a breeze, especially when it rained. The only small complaint I have is there were bugs in the house but that’s to be expected being on a lake. We would definitely stay here again!

This place was better than advertised! Beautiful location double covered dock and easy access to marinas for fuel. Completely redone inside and everything you need to cook, relax and enjoy the beautiful water. We have vacationed on lake keowee for many summers and this has been by far one of our favorites.
