Lake Keowee Beach Club Cabin

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 67 reviews2 weeks ago

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this Lake Keowee cabin! From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. The cabin is spacious, offering plenty of room for our entire family to spread out and relax. The layout was perfect for both socializing and having some quiet time to ourselves. The views of the lake are truly breathtaking – whether we were enjoying a morning coffee at sunrise or winding down with a glass of wine during sunset, the scenery was a highlight every day. The location was also incredibly convenient, making it easy to get to Clemson University. Whether we were heading into town for a visit or just exploring the area, it was a short drive to everything we needed. The cabin itself was spotless and well-maintained. The cozy, yet modern touches made it a perfect retreat, and the peaceful atmosphere was exactly what we needed for a great family trip.

If you’re looking for a peaceful house free of the city chaos this is the place! The yard and lake were incredible for our dogs, all hiking trails were anywhere from 20-45 minutes away, but if you wanted to take in nature and soak up the sun you don’t even need leave the backyard! Definitely recommend a 4wd or AWD car in inclement weather , the neighborhood roads can be steep, but our Subaru handled it with no problems. Thanks again for allowing us and the dogs to stay here!

The view from the living room and covered patio where even better then expected. The photos do not do it justice, the sun set every evening dropping behind the mountains and reflecting off the water was beautiful. Work is bringing us back to the area in a couple months. Will definitely be rebooking to stay at this property again.

Brandon and Julie's home is the perfect combination of spaciousness and coziness! The four bedrooms were perfectly appointed for our family of 6 adults. There are ample living areas to spread out, whether watching tv in the living room, playing games in the sunroom, or enjoying the tranquil lake view on the large front porch. The kitchen area is large and spacious with a round table with seating for four allowing for quick meals or socializing with whomever is cooking. Brandon and Julie were very easy to communicate with and great hosts. We highly recommend staying at Brandon and Julie's home, which is very central to many attractions in northern Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Entire 2 Story Lakefront Home with huge Dock!

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviews3 days ago

Our family had an unforgettable stay at Jeremy's lake house! This freshly remodeled gem is a true 5-star retreat. The comfy beds, well-appointed amenities, and stunning lake views made every moment special. We loved the deck, cozy fireplace, spacious yard, and especially the upper screened-in patio and lower deck with dock access—perfect for soaking in spectacular sunrises. Kayaking, fishing, and lounging in the boho-chic macrame swings were highlights! The location is ideal, with great restaurants, grocery stores, and fun outings nearby. We enjoyed trail rides, a drive-through safari, and a charming visit to The Lavender Crow, a local tea shop and apothecary just 4 miles away. Jeremy’s thoughtful touches and exceptional care made our stay truly memorable. Book this lake house! You won’t be disappointed!
