Lovely quiet get away

We have stayed at several homes in the Clemson/Seneca area and this was one of the best. The owners seemed to have thought of everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible - from lake equipment to a thoughtful stocked kitchen including spices and zip lock bags to power strips in the bedroom. They seem to have thought of everything. If our daughter hadn't graduated we would have definitely stayed there again.

Spacious lake home on quiet Keowee cove

This is a comfortable lakefront home stay with beautiful views and plenty of room to spread out and relax with family and friends, both inside and out. We loved sitting by the lake and listening to all the birds. We had a few April rainy days, but had plenty of puzzles and games to keep us busy. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, but it was also an easy drive to Seneca for meals out.

Missed potental

The interior layout and space worked well for our multi generation family vacation, the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and the beds were comfortable. Pillows should be replaced so you should bring your own. However we were very disappointed in the exterior of the property which was not rental ready and unusable. The screened porch, decks and patio areas were dirty with cobwebs, dirt, pollen and debris from trees. Some of the outdoor furniture was in bad condition and should be removed or replaced.

Homes

The property had great water sports equipment . Which we didn’t use because we came for parents weekend at Clemson . There were only 3 towels for three adults for three days. That’s is not enough. The furniture in the sitting rooms needs to be replaced and the pillows on the beds are awful. Needed to be replaced a long time ago.

Lovely home! Great location!

Beautiful, spacious and well stocked home. The boat ramp was close and the dock was very convenient so we didn’t have to take the boat out of the water everyday. The kitchen had tons of cookware, cutlery, and plates. Bedrooms on all 3 levels made it easy for family to have privacy. Mr. Kraus clearly cares for his home. It was difficult to read his tone when communicating and felt defensive at times hit our stay was pleasant. There is a musty smell in the house and I recommend bringing your own shampoo and toiletries like in most VRBO rentals.

Keowee Lake House

We had a great time. The house is in a great location in the neighborhood, and on the lake. It was nice for our girls to be able to jump in the lake and the area was quiet. The house was very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed. The downstairs storage room was a huge bonus for us. We really loved being able use the paddle boards, kayaks, and fishing poles. When we were searching for a rental there were not many that listed those items. This house was what I would expect at the price point. There were a few things that could use updating but it would not be a deal breaker for me to consider renting again.

My family and I enjoyed your property for our 10 day stay.

Renting the property was easy using VRBO.com. The house was very nice and had what we needed for our stay. Very clean, could have used more batt towels, and the dish network could have carried channels to watch Atlanta Braves baseball. The pots and pans were not in good condition. Glad we took our own. I was afraid to use theirs because of health reasons. All other kitchen itema were great. The boar ramp was nextdoor and the boat dock was a short walk to the dock. We were able to leave our18 ft. boat tied up to the dock all the days we stayed. So convenient. We hope this property is available for our family to stay again. Thanks to the owner for letting us rent this house and boat dock on Lake Keowee Seneca, SC.

Will not book again

My family and I have stayed at several houses around this area for several years. This was our least favorite and only one we would not want to rebook. We are not super picky but the place was not clean. We did address molded pizza left in the oven and a dishwasher left full Of dirty dishes that had not been run for a good while and the owners did refund some but not all of the cleaning deposit. Also as a family that has our own rental property we have multiple towels per person readily available for use. If you want more than one towel per person take some of your own. After bringing up different issues and the owners did reconcile we just stopped bringing up Issues because of limited time there and knew we would not rebook. The place was definitely not clean to our standards and the furniture is very dated. The fans had layers of dust, mattresses and pillows were stained (which you had to make beds yourself), downstairs bathroom was just gross with dirt/hair/toilet scrub brush needing attention and dog food left out. I am not one to typically give out reviews unless they are positive but this was not ok. Hopefully this will help other families future stays have a more positive experience. This house definitely needs a new cleaning crew or to hire one.
