Cute bungalow in an excellent location
We booked this bungalow for our family to attend our granddaughter’s graduation from Clemson. The location was ideal—just a short drive to and from Clemson for the ceremony and other festivities—and great for walking to downtown Seneca to restaurants and shops. The owners were so kind and left us a wonderful bottle of wine to celebrate with! The bungalow had ample room for the 6 of us to sleep, eat, and watch TV comfortably. We enjoyed some time on the front porch and a brief stay in the backyard before thunder drove us in. It was equipped with everything we needed to prepare some food for a brunch we had for our granddaughter and one of her roommates and her family. We enjoyed the ambience of the electric fire on a cool and gloomy evening, and got great pictures of my granddaughters in front of the beautiful wall mural in the living room. We are hoping our grandson will also be attending Clemson in another year and we’ll be able to celebrate another graduation in this bungalow!

Great Place for All - Humans and Dogs
We had a great stay at the bungalow while visiting the area. We had 2 dogs with us and they enjoyed the backyard and we enjoyed hanging with them on the outdoor patio while watching the tv. There were so many attentions to detail, like a robust coffee selection with all kinds of fun flavors, to the games for adults and kids, to excellent communication assuring all of our needs were met. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Perfect stay for a Clemson visit
This was the perfect house for our trip to Clemson! The house was equipped with everything we needed and communication with the host was extremely timely and efficient. Our two dogs enjoyed playing in the backyard, and lounging on the front porch in the sun. Our only regret is that we had not discovered this house before now!

Great location & adorable house!
Our daughter goes to Clemson so we drove from Charlotte area and met our family/friends that drove down from Michigan. I was a bit worried about the size since we had 6 adults and 1 teen but we had plenty of space! My husband & I stayed in the bedroom with a full and bunk bed (which has stairs leading to the top bunk along with storage). The other 2 couples stayed in the other 2 rooms. Friday we walked the short distance to downtown Seneca for dinner/drinks. The downtown is very cute & had their holiday lights up already! Saturday we drove into Clemson which is an easy 10-15 min drive (depending on traffic). Easy commute. The hosts communicated promptly. The house itself is a 1940s home completely renovated, with a large fenced backyard and new patio. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your home John & Val!

Homebase for Clemson family weekend
The bungalow was a perfect place for our family to spread out during Clemson family weekend. The Seneca location was a nice escape after a long game day on campus. Our college daughter even spent the night with us for a night and used one of the rooms to get a good night's sleep. The desk in the bedroom came in handy while she studied for an upcoming exam. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch, and the patio was a nice place to eat a meal. The bungalow was well appointed and updated. Very cozy and it had everything we needed and even some welcome gifts that were much appreciated.

Wonderful Hidden Gem in Downtown Seneca
I have family in and around Seneca so often stay in the area. This is my absolute favorite rental and first choice any time it is available.
It has the perfect balance of everything. Old cottage charm with all the modern updates. Everything you need but not lots of clutter like some. Very quiet and peaceful yet just a few steps to great food and all Seneca has to offer. Lakes, parks, trails and fun places to visit in every direction so a great central location.
Our favorite is the fenced yard that is wooded in the back. Great to play ball with the dog, grill out, or watch the fireflies at night.
John is a great host and his communication makes the whole process seamless.

Charming bungalow and fun downtown
My family stayed here to have quick access to a boat rental at Lake Keowee marina and to the restaurants and brewery in downtown Seneca. The house has been fully updated but hasn't lost its old school charm. John was very responsive and helpful to make check in and out smooth. Really appreciate him making us feel welcome!
