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 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 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.

Great stay!
My family of 5 and my sisters family of 6 all stayed at this house and had a great time. We were comfortable and enjoyed the easy access to the lake from the house. Everyone enjoyed the water, the jump off from the top of the boat house, and the paddle board/kayakes.

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.

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!

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.

we'll be back!
We were 2 families totaling 9 adults/teens + 2 dogs and the house/property fit the bill. The location on the lake is great-- not a lot of boat traffic so the kids could paddle and the adults could float around. It's clear the owners have been investing in some updates to the house--the common rooms are cute. While the kitchen and bathrooms (and mattresses) would benefit from some updates, it's fine and we weren't there for the house per se anyway. The owner was fantastic and gave us great ideas of things to do on the lake. i.e. we rented a boat and tube for 2 days and docked it at his place--he gave directions to the jumping falls, climbing falls, restaurants on the lake (Tiki Hut --hushpuppies were great and the burgers were decent and the kids tried karaoke--no need to dress up) and where to get the cheapest gas). His suggestion of heading into Seneca on Thurs. was spot-on: several food trucks (taco truck has great burritos and margaritas, Black's savory sundae cup was delicious, and the pulled pork sandwich @ 313 was delicious but too spicy for my daughter), live music (not jazz like advertised but the kids didn't care), taprooms, shops. The city shuts down @ 9 so get there early to shop around and find a place to sit. BTW: we parked in the grass by the RR tracks and walked a block. So cute that the girls went back the next day for lunch (Bonaterra--mmmmmmm avocado fries) and shopping. The owner is just great to work with...it wasn't like a typical rental (TP, coffee filters, dish soap etc. supplied, lots of spices and condiments to use, beach towels available).

Great Stay
We had such a great time at our stay here! The amenities, water views, dock, firepit area and yard were amazing! The house itself was very spacious, but could definitely use some TLC. Appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, but the cleanliness was lacking. We took matters into our own hands to ensure everything was cleaned to our standard upon arrival throughout the house, and that allowed us to enjoy our stay with peace of mind.

Overall fairly nice experience
The house is as described. Use of the kayaks and paddle boards was great to enhance our time on the lake. They only issue was with bugs in the kitchen. There were many dishes with dead bugs in them, so you had to wash just about every dish before using it to feel clean. At night when you turned on the kitchen light, you would see bugs scatter off the kitchen counter.

We had the best time staying at this house! The view of the open water is absolutely gorgeous. We got great use out of the kayaks, paddle boards, and ping pong table. Perhaps our favorite feature of this house was being able to kayak over to a little private island and play in the shallow waters with sandy bottom. The neighborhood is fantastic as well!

Picture Perfect Weekend
We had the most wonderful time in this beautiful lake home. We absolutely loved it. I took a sunrise picture every morning. The lake, the view, the amenities, the location, the weather were all absolutely perfect. We could not have asked for a better weekend celebrating my son and his graduation. I thank you so much. My father in law said it best “If he wrote a script for how he would have wanted the weekend to go, he couldn’t have written it better”. It was just perfect!!! We are hoping to come back in the fall for a Clemson football game :) Melissa

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.
