About this property

Serenity Bay, Keowee Lakefront Cabin, Covered Dock, Kayaks, Clean, Near Clemson

We have been renting our home since 2013 with overwhelmingly 5-star reviews. The reviews have frequently commented on the cleanliness, spaciousness and comfort of the beds and furniture. The 3-story layout allows for private sleeping or hanging out areas, but also a large great room for all to gather together. Our renters especially comment on our covered deck as their favorite hangout.

We have a covered dock to keep your boat protected from rain and sun, which is just a few easy steps from the house. Many houses on the lake have a very steep and or long walk to the lake. Our house is about 50 steps from the lake with a very easy grade.

Another nice feature of our house is the cove that we sit in. It is wide and deep enough for comfortable floating and swimming but does not get fast boat traffic and waves like other homes on the bigger parts of the lake.
We also have 4 kayaks available for our renters to use.

We spend a lot of time and effort to keep our house maintained, clean and updated. If you choose, we think you will be extremely happy with your stay.

Lake Keowee Friends Getaway

House was great for 4 adult couples - ample hangout space inside and on various porches. Everything was clean and well-labled for ease of use. Owner was very responsive and helped us to arrange parking for an extra car. Great views of the lake. We wanted to use the outdoor firepit but rain didn't allow it, but maybe next time!

Everything We Wanted!

This is the best rental property we have ever rented. The layout was perfect for the three generations in our group. The house was spotless. The view of the lake was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. We loved this house and hope to stay again in the summer.

Heaven on the Lake

The pictures of this property are good, but in-person…it’s amazing. We were so comfortable and felt welcomed. The location is quiet and so close to the water (which was clean too)! We loved the outdoor spaces and the beds were comfortable. The check-out “directions” were unexpected. Most rentals ask you to practically clean the house, causing you to wonder why you’re paying a cleaning fee at all. This property owner really wanted you to remember the reason you came in the first place….we were only asked to do the minimum. That was a sweet surprise! We will definitely be visiting this property again!

About the host

Hosted by Dave and Susan Smith

Host profile image
The owners, Dave and Susan Smith welcome you Serenity Bay! We purchased our Lake house in June of 2013, and are happy to share it with you. We live in Cincinnati, Ohio where Dave is a system's analyst and Susan is a retired fourth grade teacher. We enjoy most outdoor activities and love spending time with our friends and family at the lake.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with our house because of its warm, rustic, mountain feel, yet with modern amenities that make it comfortable. Our favorite part of the house is the covered porch overlooking the beautiful views of the lake. We also love our covered dock and how it is only a few easy steps to the house.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Lake Keowee because of its beauty and the activities that the nearby area offers. We chose our house because of it's quintessential lake house feel, with many modern comforts and upgraded finishes.
