About this property

Lake Keowee Retreat with boat slip & lots of entertainment space near Clemson U

This beautiful chalet with huge panoramic windows and lots of indoor and outdoor entertaining space is located in the premier mid section of Lake Keowee! You are close to everything including Clemson University (Only 9 miles away), incredible hiking/biking in the nearby Blue Ridge mountains, and great shopping, restaurants and breweries in downtown Seneca and Clemson!

Each of the 3 levels has its own full bathroom plus there are two separate living room areas to comfortably accommodate many guests. Entertainment spaces abound with a large wraparound deck. With this lake house being slightly elevated, you get various lake views from both sides of the enormous wrap around deck. Enjoy gorgeous sunsets off the West deck!

The large upstairs loft has a queen bed, two twin beds, a futon and a full bathroom with rain shower. Please note, this is counted as one of the 4 bedrooms and overlooks the main floor living area.

The main floor has a large open, updated kitchen with a generous granite island, living room with gas fireplace and flat screen tv, a full bathroom, a master bedroom with a king bed and flat screen tv, and an additional guest bedroom with a queen bed and rocking chair plus it’s own private entrance out to the deck.

The lower floor has a full laundry room with washer/dryer, laundry tub and another full size refrigerator/freezer, a private bedroom with a king bed and tv, another full bathroom, an awesome bar area with tv, a beverage refrigerator, and a large 25lb ice maker to fill your coolers or make your drinks! There is also another living room area with brand new couches and a huge new 75” TV (it’s the absolute best set up for watching the game!). There are many games, a ping pong table, and Golden Tee Golf Arcade game for added excitement. There is also a great screened in patio on the lower level with twinkle string lights for even more entertainment space.

We are conveniently located right next to the walking path down to the water. You can use either of our beautiful community docks to fish or swim off from. In addition, we provide kayaks (kayaks are shared with one other chalet and stored at the other chalet right down close to the water for ease of use), noodles, tubes and life vests for your use during your stay. There's nothing better than relaxing on our provided tubes and floating the afternoon away on our gorgeous, clear protected cove! Boat slip included for the full duration of your stay. We are happy to help you with contacts for half day or full day boat or jet ski rentals very close by if interested or you can bring your own!

On the deck, there is a patio table w/umbrella that comfortably seats 6, a small table for 2, an outdoor sectional couch that seats 6 people and 2 sun/lounge chairs.

***VERY IMPORTANT: Our community is awesome and we absolutely love it! Most of the people there are super relaxed, friendly, and happy to be in ‘vacation mode’! However, we MUST be respectful of the other owners as the chalets are all close to each other. Please know that our Home Owner’s Association has recently implemented fees for loud noises outside after 11pm. Therefore, if you plan to have a party or wish to be loud after 11pm then this is not the right rental for you.***

***This close lake community of 30 chalets shares 2 parking lots. We have 2 deeded parking spots that come with the rental and there is visitor parking as well. Please know, the parking is not directly in front of the chalet. The walk from the parking lot to the chalet is approximately like parking in the middle of the Target parking lot and walking into the store. Therefore, it’s not a long or difficult walk, but there are some stairs so if mobility is an issue this may not be the best rental option for you.

***There are no fireworks allowed at any time within our gated community…this includes off any decks or docks.

Convenient to Clemson game

We gathered for a football weekend. Location of house is great. Wish the house had been lake front. House was adequate and well equipped. Surface-wise, very clean but needs some deep cleaning in some areas. Also, the loft with 3 sleeping options in it has no barrier to noise, so not a great room for adults needing to sleep. Owners were fantastic to work with and very accommodating.

Great family home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the house. We were 10 people and had enough space for all of us. The deck is a wonderful place to have coffee in the morning and enjoy the view. The communication with the manager was superb. Can highly recommend this place.

Awesome lake house on beautiful Keowee

This house was incredible. It was clean and spacious with an abundance of both indoor and outdoor relaxation spots. There was a HUGE deck on the main floor with plenty of seating, and a lovely screened in porch off the basement. The basement was amazing....large screen TV, bar, and games for the kids. With four kids in our group, they were fully entertained all weekend long. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, and dining options were a quick 15 minute drive. We are already looking at our calendars to see when we can return!

Fourth of July 2024

We very much enjoyed our stay and really love Lake Keowee. The owners of the home are nice, responsive and easy to work with. The property was a good size for us with five adults, one infant and two dogs. Any more might have been too much. The property does allow pets but the development is not really pet friendly. Neighbors complained about our dog barking once. There is a not good green space to walk the dogs and the asphalt gets very hot during the day. We will return but will not take our dogs.

Long overdue vacation

My family had not been on vacation together in almost 5 years. I found this little gem on VRBO and it was the perfect spot and size for our family. The lake was beautiful and the accommodations were perfect for us. Chuck was available if we needed him and super friendly. We did have to improvise with our smores. Said firepit was not there but the gas grill worked great. Highly recommend.

Great for families

We spent 5 days here with our adult children and had a great time. The chalet is very clean and comfortable and host was easy to reach and responsive to questions. Easy walk down to shared dock and pretty quick to get anywhere on lake with boat. Lovely sunsets on the dock!

Great House, Attentive Owners, Great location

Everything about the stay was outstanding. The well appointed house was large, comfortable, cozy and very clean. Everything you needed was there. The deck/porch were huge with ample seating and a grill. The golf game in the bar/basement was a huge hit. The setting was a mountain lake with a private community. A nic walking path around the homes and lake, fishing from the docks and kayaks to use. The owners were attentive, friendly and you know they care about the happiness of their guests. They have a 5 star rating for a reason!!!!!

Beautiful quaint stay

This was the most heavily stocked vacation rental I have ever stayed in. Chuck was fantastic and easy to communicate with. We brought our boat and got to enjoy the whole lake. If bringing a boat there is locked trailer parking down the road and a boat launch five minutes away. We had our own boat slip for the whole trip. Thank you for our stay!

Nice house but...

Nice house overall and nice layout for our family gathering to hang out and watch football. Just be aware that they state it's pet friendly but I was charged extra over and above what I had already paid because there was pet hair on the floor and furniture. The dog was approved to be there and we paid cleaning fee and pet fee and was still charged extra to vacuum the pet hair off the furniture and floor. I would recommend they state that only non shedding animals are allowed or they increase their pet fee anticipating there is hair.

Fabulous rental

We had a fantastic time on Lake Keowee. The rental was clean and updated with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The basement was a big hit with Golden Tee and lots of games. The screened in porch was an awesome place to enjoy our morning coffee. We did not use the kayaks but it was nice to know they were there. Chuck was responsive and available if we needed him (which we did not as everything worked and went smootly!). We will definitely visit again!

Great Retreat

Great location on the lake. Quick drive to Seneca and Clemson for any needs. Cove is quiet and is great for kayaking and swimming off the dock. Whitewater rafting 40 minutes away made for a fun day trip. We hiked in the Blue Ridge mountains nearby and saw amazing waterfalls. So much to explore at the lake and surrounding areas!

Perfect family getaway!

We traveled from Central Florida to visit with family in the area. The layout of the home was perfect to allow us to spend time together while also giving us plenty of room to relax on our own. We spent our days swimming at the dock. Our children (22, 17, and 14) enjoyed swimming, kayaking, and fishing. The kids enjoyed the kayaks so much that I expect we'll be buying our own this Christmas! The location was convenient for nearby family members to hop on their boats and spend the day with us. The owners were staying in their property nearby and were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. They were quick to respond to a minor maintenance issue without hesitation. The home was extremely clean! We are already planning next summer, and this property is a strong contender for our next lake vacation!

Great House, parking info and dock info

We loved the house. The beds were all great and there were 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which were all very well stocked. The living/kitchen areas were all small but the great deck more than made up for the space. Thats where we spent time, on that great deck which had a nice grill, table and plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. The hosts had supplied all the paper products, trash bags and everything you needed for a great stay. The hosts were great and communicated as needed. They allowed us to bring 2 dogs with us that were over the advertised weight limit. There were 2 drawbacks however to this rental. The parking is limited and there is no close parking to the rental. You had to unload your luggage and supplies at some stairs then walk 50-70 steps (depending on your size) to the house to unload your things, then walk back those same distance to get back to the steps, park your vehicle and then walk back to the house. To get to the dock, you had to go back to those same steps to walk around the entire house and down to the dock The second and biggest issue was that they do not have a designated dock for your boat. You have to get on a waiting list for a boat slip and pay $100 additional money to the hosts for a boat slip. Since we were there on Memorial Day there were no boat slips available. However, the hosts moved their boat and gave us their slip. That was very sweet of them. It was an A rental overall.

Clemson Graduation 2023

Came down from Boston for our son’s graduation from Clemson University. A very easy twenty minute drive to Clemson. Place was super clean and very nice. Wrap around deck let’s you see both the water and the mountains. Hosts were great and very responsive. Downstairs is a perfect hangout spot. It has a bar and 70”television which was perfect to watch some NCAA lacrosse! A very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Great spot…beautiful atmosphere, quiet! Enjoyed many dinners on the deck, access to the lake, and the short drives to other activities (eg. Keowee Brewing, Lake Jocassee Tours). The lakehouse itself is perfectly designed - appreciated full bathrooms on all floors! Great interior layout and space! Clean and came with all of the amenities we needed!
