Dog Friendly Lake Keowee-Pools, Hike, Golf, Boat

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Tarah was great and her place was perfect for our group! She answered my questions quickly and went above and beyond, sending additional info prior to our stay. The home was cozy and was just as described. It felt like walking into my second home - there was nothing we needed that wasn’t already there. Would definitely stay here again!

Point Lot, Boat and PWC Rental

VeronicaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
My family and I had a wonderful time at this home. The views were spectacular from every room in the house. The home and furniture were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. This property is located on a point and had expansive views with a beach and a large dock, perfect for jumping off and relaxing. There were also paddle boards and kayaks that my kids really enjoyed. We were able to tie our boat on the side of the dock and parked our trailer in the driveway with plenty of extra parking. Carter was helpful and responsive too. Seneca was just a 5-10 minute drive and easy to access for anything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here to enjoy beautiful Lake Keowee!

KatrinaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Out of all of my Air BnB stays over the years, this is my number one! The place was white glove clean, beautifully decorated, and it felt like home. Everything that Stefanie describes in their listing is 100% accurate and more! She was professional, kind, and checked in with me to see how everything was going. I hope to bring the rest of my family here during the summer to enjoy the lake since we don’t live that far away! If you want a peaceful, relaxing stay, please consider staying here for a quiet get away. This home is well taken care of and Stefanie thought of everything little thing to make it a home. Even their coffee cups brightened my morning each day!!

TaylorRating, 5 stars4 months ago
This place is even more beautiful than the photos. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it. The walk to the lake is very steep as they mention, but there are so many windows you can really enjoy the view from inside the home. Everything was clean and beautiful!

Tree Top River Retreat

DavidRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A very nice house with beautiful surroundings on a huge piece of land. Although the house was a little tight for my family of four, we still loved the stay. Larry was a very personable and helpful host and there is so much to do on the property below including a really cool zip line that travels over the creek.

Beautiful Lake Keowee Condo with great Amenities

LaurieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Linda's location was perfect, we were right by the walking trail around the lake and close to the fitness center and the golf course. Beautiful area, we just moved to New Bern NC, which is very historic, near the beaches and a great place to live, however very flat. It was fabulous to be in the mountains and to be surrounded by State Parks and hiking trails. We will be back and would love to stay at Linda's Air B&B again sometime soon!

Lake Living with Amazing Views of Lake Hartwell

DouglasRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house is in a good central location to get btw Anderson and Clemson, with a GREAT lake view and walkable area. Very cozy, well maintained, and clean. Great for four people staying over a week and the amenities allowed us to make our own meals each day. The grocery store (and others) are just 5 min. drive away, and I-85 exit 2 min. away. Very much recommended 🧡

Lakeside Serenity

LauraRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Beautiful brand new townhome. Right on the water with a very nice dock to tie up our boat and lots of extra toys at the dock to enjoy. Loved the paved path to the house from the dock. The path was especially nice at night with the solar lights lining the pathway! Very nice and comfortable furniture around the outdoor firepit. Good place to sit and read a good book. The townhome was beautiful and very clean. Host even had a new tooth brush in the home which was very helpful since I forgot mine. Location was perfect, so close to town and boat ramp to put in and take out our boat. Close to Hartwell Mariana and several restaurants on the water! Host was easy to work with and responsive!

Cozy 3 Bedroom Cottage With Beautiful Lake Views!

KristinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed with family to attend a graduation at Anderson University and it was perfect. The hosts were very communicative and the house was great! Beautiful lake views, a spacious deck and a big open great room were just some of the amenities we loved. They even left a s’mores kit which our daughter LOVED. It was a bit chilly for us to enjoy going out on the lake but we had a great time hanging out at the fire pit making s’mores. I highly recommend staying at Christy & Richard’s lake cottage!

We had a wonderful family reunion Thanksgiving at Alan’s. The house exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and comfortable, we had plenty of space and the kitchen was extremely well stocked! Many people in our party commented that the pictures did not do the property justice. We were a multigenerational family, and everyone found something to do whether it was watching football from the cozy basement or going on the lake in the paddleboard or hanging out in the hot tub!It was the perfect way to spend our holiday with our senior Tigers!

Her Redhead Cabin on Lake Hartwell w/ Private Dock

FrankRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Mimi’s place. The cabin was comfortable, clean and offered all the amenities of home. Checkin was easy and Mimi was available to answer any questions we may have had. We loved having coffee on the deck in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening, not to mention the hot tub. We would highly recommend Mimi’s cabin and would love to stay again should we ever find ourselves in the area again. Frank and Annette

Your guide to Clemson

All About Clemson

Clemson sits in the western region of South Carolina against the impressive backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Driving through the city, you can see its transformation from small, Appalachian farming village to thriving college town as you pass centuries-old red brick farms and the grand university buildings across the city’s historic districts. Hear the roar from local football games on your way to one of the many historical and cultural sites in Clemson, like the Hanover House or the Old Stone Church, where you can learn about what life was like in Clemson during the 18th and 19th centuries. Admire the natural beauty of South Carolina in the Carolina Botanical Garden, which offers a 295-acre exhibition containing thousands of native plants, as well as an opportunity to explore ash and oak tree-lined trails or the massive 17,500-acre Clemson Experimental Forest.

In the summer, cool off from the southern heat by swimming or boating in nearby Lake Hartwell before heading into downtown Clemson to enjoy some delicious barbecue and watch the sunset over the rugged mountain skyline.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Clemson

Though Clemson is located in the South, its location near the Blue Ridge Mountains provides a true four-season year for the city. Winter is cool with cold nights, and spring is temperate and balmy. Summer into fall is warm and humid, and this is the most popular season to visit — especially once the academic year starts.

The most vibrant time to visit the city is during the spring and fall, and the events in town reflect that. In April, the Pendleton Spring Jubilee hosts hundreds of artists from all over the country selling their works while you can enjoy live music, local food vendors, and tours of historical sites. In May, the Artisphere Festival hosts over 100 artists who showcase their work alongside craft breweries and wineries. If you are a fan of college football, be sure to schedule your trip in November, when a college bowl takes over the city for a weekend.


Top things to do in Clemson

South Carolina Botanical Garden

With trails, museums, and one of the largest nature-based sculpture collections in the country, this is much more than just a botanical garden. After exploring the gardens and woodland paths, you can check out the Fran Hanson Discovery Center or visit the Bob Campbell Geology Museum, which showcases more than 10,000 rocks, minerals, and fossils. If you’re interested in learning about the region’s cultural history, visit the garden’s pioneer village, which features the Hunt Log Cabin built in 1825.

Clemson Area African American Museum

Here you can learn about the African Americans who were integral in the development of Clemson. Located in the Calhoun Bridge Center, this vital museum offers a number of rotating exhibits educating visitors and prompting discussions about Black history and celebrating the achievements and culture of African Americans.

Clemson Experimental Forest

This 17,000-acre forest of protected land was part of the New Deal and surrounds the City of Clemson as a living classroom and resource lab for the university. There are opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding for visitors of all experience levels. Some favorite locales within the forest are Lake Issaqueena, Todd Creek Falls, and Waldrop Stone Falls.
