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.

Best Family Weekend
This home is absolutely amazing! The house is huge and super clean. The view is beautiful and the lake was so fun to swim in. We played a lot of ping pong too. Perfect weekend for celebrating my birthday and close enough to Clemson that we were able to get our son moved in. Best weekend of our summer!

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!

Another wonderful stay!
Our family of 3 adults, 5 kids (5-16), and two dogs once again were sad to leave this amazing property. The kids loved jumping off the dock, playing in the shallow water, using kayaks and canoes, playing ping pong, having s’mores, catching fireflies, and tubing on rented boat kept on property. The adults loved the breathtaking views of the lake and all the extras provided (soaps, shampoos, laundry detergent, doggy bags, etc). The dogs loved exploring the property and playing in the water. This property is easy to get to, well kept, close to lots of grocery stores, and restaurants, and beautiful. Thank you so much, hope to get back soon.

Awesome Property - great location
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The inside was immaculately cleaned, felt recently refreshed, and very spacious. There is a great view of the lake from the living room and back porch. The property is large with a nice size yard. The slope down to the lake is gentle. Private dock was nice and the private beech was even better. Even if the lake is up and all the sand is covered it is a great place to swim and play. The dock protects the area and is nice to swim and play off of. We rented a boat and used the dock. You are close to the marina and several islands as well. If you want to use the kayaks there is an island about 100 yards from the property. Family lived staying here and would stay again.

Wonderful
My family and I rented this house to celebrate my mom's birthday. The age range in our group was 8-70 years old. We all LOVED our stay here and made memories that we will cherish forever! The house was clean and conveniently located with plenty of room for our group of 9 people and 1 dog. It is situated on a wooded 1 acre lot which provided ample shade for outdoor enjoyment. The kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and we all enjoyed exploring Lake Keowee in the kayaks (3) and canoe that were provided. We loved relaxing on the porches during the day and sitting by the fire pit at night. The sunsets from the boat dock were breathtaking. This property is a little slice of heaven and we hope to return soon! Mike and Janet were wonderful hosts.

So disappointed with the cleanliness!
The location of this property is great, the problem is that the owner has put some lipstick on a pig. The house needs a really good deep clean, it is just not up to standard for the price you are paying. I wish I could add Photos to prove the point. There is a downstairs porch that was covered in debris..... The owners response was that he was going to buy a blower so the renter could take care of it surely the house should be left in a decent state before check in as you can only check in after 4pm. We actually checked out early as did not want to stay any longer.

Fantastic Family Trip.
House is exactly as described and depicted. Perfect for families and kids. There is a sandy beach the first 10' from the shoreline with an awesome set of granite stone steps to get in/out of the water. Our littles loved playing here when we were not on the boat. The dock has been upgraded since the pictures in the listing. It's covered and has two jetski spots and a lift. The lift is inoperable and essentially prevents you from parking your boat under the cover. We arrived on a friday and were amazed at how close all the boaters got to the dock. We launched on Saturday and kept our boat tied up to the side. It's a ski boat so the rub rail worked great with the rub bars on the dock and we added fenders. The neighbors have an elderly dog, please be respectful of their space and ensure your dog(s) do not chase their dogs. Nice quiet area, not for loud party people. We will be back. if towing, be careful using the driveway. it's got a loop but is very tight. we JUST fit our older ski Nautique twin axle trailer through it. A larger boat would not be capable of making it through w/o hitting bushes/trees/sprinklers (on metal poles). There are two cul-de-sacs. The one the house is on is too small to turn around with a trailer. We used the T for the second cul-de-sac to turn around by backing the trailer into it then turning the truck.
