About this property

The Canoe House at Keowee - Family/Sr Friendly 6 Bed / 4 Bath - Close to Clemson

Consider this house your home away from home while you visit Lake Keowee. This gorgeous property (built in 2021 with renovations in Q1 2025) features 6 bedrooms (one is enclosed bonus room), including 2 king beds, 2 queen beds, and 10 twin beds. Home boasts a huge walkout basement (with all kinds of fun things to do) perfect for teens, full laundry room, a vast main floor covered porch overlooking the lake, and a cozy fireplace. Property includes kayaks, canoes, and covered outdoor living space. Enjoy swimming and fishing off the dock in our clear, deep water. Dock accommodates one watercraft if you bring one, and we even have a place for you to park your trailer. We work often from this house, and have 600MB internet throughout. The peaceful atmosphere of this house makes it the perfect retreat for families or groups looking to relax and enjoy their time together. We also have no HOA hoops you have to jump through or tiptoe around. Lastly, we have a well stocked kitchen and plenty of games/puzzles for all ages to enjoy.

We have been short term hosts on Lake Keowee since 2012, five star across the board in both of our previous listings.

Beautiful Home

This is a beautiful home. It would have received all 5 stars except for the long no wake zone to the main body of the lake. The home is well equipped with tons of stuff to do! The short easy walk to the dock is hard to find.

Lake escape weekend

The house is located off of a nice quiet part of the lake. It is spacious and great for hanging out with family and friends. Close enough to commute to Clemson if desired. Lower level that is perfect for playing games like ping pong. We had a relaxing weekend here!

Great Lakehouse!

We enjoyed our stay! The lake is beautiful. The house was perfect for our needs. My husband and I took our elderly parents and teenaged boys for a last minute getaway. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out, and our parents were able to navigate the house with no problems. We had a great time.

Great Location and Family Home

This property was located perfectly on Lake Keowee, it was quiet and scenic. We enjoyed staying on this side of the Lake as it was easy to travel to most of the Waterfall and Hiking destinations very quickly saving 15-20min if we stayed in other locations. The house was great, clean, and had everything we needed. There was great space for the kids to play and they really enjoyed the bunk room. Great stay and would recommend to others.

Great family house!

We gifted our adult children and their families with a Christmas in July vacation and selected this house for our family getaway. The house worked perfectly! Everyone had private space, along with shared spaces, like the kitchen and deck, that were perfect for all of us. We really enjoyed our stay at this well appointed house!

Nice Lake House

House was very roomy and comfortable. Kids room was the best ever with the double bunks and single double bed. All beds were comfortable. Kitchen was loaded with pots and pans and plenty of dishes. We loved the long dining table. All 12 of us fit perfectly. We rented a pontoon boat and used several of the boat toys in the garage. All in all it was a great house for our family vacation. We had 6 adults and Six kiddos ranging in age from 15-6 months. Also the high chair and kids plates etc came in handy.

great family reumion

The property is nice and lake house is spacious. It accommodated 12 overall well. Everyone enjoyed the game room and outdoor equipment such as paddle board, kayaks. However, there were few minor things that were negative. The dock and stair areas had few nails that were seen that parents had to be careful the children did not touch .The queen size bed felt tight in space it was placed in of the bedroom in the basement that had bunk beds and queen size bed. We appreciated the communication of owner . Overall, our family enjoyed the visit at this lake house. Thank you!

A perfect Memorial Day Weekend!

This was the perfect house for our family (4 generations) to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend! The location on the lake was perfect...a quiet cove with friendly neighbors. The owners were very accommodating and easy to contact & communicate with. The home was beautiful!! It was very clean and had plenty of towels, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. We would love to come back and do it again in this same spot!

Fun week at Lake Keowee

Mary’s house worked out great for our stay at the lake. We had guests come and go and were able to accommodate everyone (including some 4 legged family members). There was plenty of space, kitchen was great for meals at the house. Our friends brought their boat and Mary was able to guide us to the boat ramp and we were able to store the trailer right at the house. Wifi worked well for our daughter who needed to do some work while there. Totally enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mary V.

Host profile image
We're a family of five from North Carolina. Lake Keowee has been our family's "happy place" since 2012. Time moves slower here, and there's no better place to relax and connect with family. We are midwesterners originally and cheer for Purdue (our alma matter), Clemson (of course), and now Chapel Hill!

Why they chose this property

This is in the best part of the lake, surrounded by other gorgeous newer homes and convenient to everything Seneca/Clemson have to offer. We have no HOA, so you don't have to jump through hoops or books of rules while trying to enjoy the lake. Our neighbors are kind, mostly permanent residents, and as long as you respect them and their spaces, you'll have a great time!

What makes this property unique

Our home vibe is "comfortable". You'll actually feel good here and won't feel on edge in our home. We also pay attention to detail; our home isn't full of leftover family furniture from decades ago (as are so many rentals). Almost everything is brand new as of 2024. We want you to feel up to date, relevant, and comfortable while on vacation. Our property is unique because it's not part of a neighborhood, (many of which have older permanent residents who frankly loathe renters and watch them like hawks). We respect our neighbors and expect guests to, too, but it's just a house on the lake when you're here, and it's ALL yours. We're ten minutes to the marina, ten minutes to ice cream/gas, and five minutes to the Lighthouse Restaurant. By car, we're just five minutes from a gas station, liquor store, and Dollar General, and just ten minutes to literally everything else. Clemson is a quick 20 minute drive door-to-door. Awesome hiking to 100' waterfalls is just fifteen minutes away!
