First I would like to state our family are long time VRBO users. We have NEVER had a complaint. I have only written reviews for excellent houses..never left acomplaint. However this time, I believe my family has been victimized. I will start out by stating that yes we had several extra people in our party. We have 12 children, 7 adopted, 4 in wheelchairs. The description read 10 adults so we did not include our two young boys, our 5 month old grandbaby or two of our children who are confined to wheelchairs . We always bring their blowup mattresses because we can not keep them safe in regular beds. Owner took pictures of people coming in and out of the house and numbered them. In those pictures she included my sisters family who came to visit us for the day!! So if the owner wanted to keep our deposit of $500 because of that I would sadly say ok. However... in a home where I first had to wipe down counters, remove food from the refrigerator, make beds, found bedding with blood on it and had to kill over 15 roaches on the first night, you can imagine how upset were to find out $3,000 in damages were submitted to the travel insurance! When I emailed the owner she claimed we cut the top of a mattress off, broke patio furniture and caused much damage to all the walls and door jams. If you have been to the home, the upstairs in beautifully renovated. The bottom floor has not and has alot of wear and tear. The owner herself states it is her second home and they are there any weekend it is not used. Without any proof my family was targeted for destroying a house which is just NOT TRUE. In fact, the outside of the home looked prepped and ready to be painted with holes patched...I guess $1,000 in paint would come in handy about now. When we talked with the insurance company, they told us this renter had maxed out the number of submissions she was entitled to but they were going to give her half of the money she requested. Apparantely she has a history of this. My family has encountered discrimination before and this experience makes me feel that we have been targeted. I do not expect any return of our money. That is not the purpose of this review. It just makes us so angry when lies are told about our family and people get away with fraud. We would hate for this to happen to you!

Our experience was amazing! We had a chance to really connect as a family in a warm family home. The serene views of the lake from the back porch while sipping hot coffee were wonderful! We hope other families get to experience this lovely home and environment!

The property was perfect for our family vacation. Great location on the lake, plenty of space, beautiful dock and water access. It was perfect and the home owners where great!

This house was perfect for our group (2 families - 4 adults, 4 teens, 1 child). Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kids loved the basement while the adults hung out on the huge porch! The location to the marina was perfect too - easy to get gas for the boat and there was no boat traffic that usually goes with being near a marina. The neighborhood was perfect for taking walks in the morning and the location to Seneca was ideal for getting groceries, going to dinner, etc. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed this house! The location can’t be beat, both on the water and in proximity to town for food or necessities ( although we didn’t leave much !) It’s just over 5 minutes to the marina, we even drove the boat over to the Tiki Hut @ the marina for dinner one night which was fabulous, much better than it used to be and great place to watch the sunset. The dock at the house can be lighted which is perfect if staying out in the water a bit later. The dock itself is wonderful and the best of any house we have stayed out in either Lake Murray or Lake Keowee. We stored 2 paddle boards, a kayak and our jet boat. The dock also has plenty of room for just sitting and reading or sunning. There’s a great little seat for 2 that is just above the water which the kids enjoyed. The screened in porch with porch swing was my favorite spot in the house ! Great kitchen and well stocked, had all we needed. The beds were very comfortable as well. We had no issue with towels or sheets like a previous post, all were fine. My only word of caution is the trio to and from dock is steep with a lot of steps. Not a problem for us or most but if somebody has an issue with lots of stairs may not be the best . The pictures clearly show this but just to emphasize. The owner was great and very responsive with the very few questions we had. Would rent again !

Great location, beautiful home, lovely furnishings, porch is amazing, lake & dock wonderful!…BUT -this all may sound negative - know we would still rent but be aware - READ ON - it's not clear in the checkin instruction that beds won’t be made, so be prepared to do that & sheets & towels are the least quality items in the house. There are extras but sheets are polyester & uncomfortable & are ill-fitting (thick mattresses) & towels are just worn. We arrived late & making up the bed was the last thing we wanted to do. The next morning when we unloaded for our 2-week stay, we found many dead bugs (many)- in every room, a dirty fridge inside & in the garage, full/dirty cabinets (food spilled & crumbs & dirt-left from previous guests?) & cat food stored with pots & pans. 4 hours of cleaning & making all the beds & I went to relax on the porch bed swing - only to find the sheet that covered it was full of pet hair & stains. I contacted the owner, explained my dilemmas & she explained that sheets are left off beds so you will know they are clean; house cleaners had been there the Monday before & exterminator came in between their visit & our move in, offered to refund the $200 cleaning fee & told me where to find a replacement sheet for the porch swing. We had a great time outside & on the porch, enjoyed the kitchen (note - there is no exhaust fan, so you need to open a window to let out oven/stove heat) & the kitchen contains all the utensils, dishes, etc. that you will need. Beware of the WII games system downstairs - our adult children & their children (ages 4 & 6) were playing some game with “paddle motion” like tennis? & the WII wand is required. Most of the WII pieces are missing the covers for where the batteries are - & one of the children “swung” (with their parents sitting right beside them) & the batteries flew out, hit the television & cracked the screen into inoperable status - all by accident…since batteries were not covered. We alerted the owner, verified that we’d purchased rental house insurance, & it was filed to cover the replacement television & installation. It’s all back together good as new according to the owner. Just be aware. Oh - the listing says child friendly & mostly it is but there is a really cute rope railing between the living room & the staircase to the lower level of the house that is dangerous. It will not keep a small child from falling through. We found a wooden gate & put it over part of it but be aware.

Owner very prompt and courteous In responding to any questions. Excellent location in edge of town near grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Pictures online portray house well. Accommodates more than 1 family perfectly. View from back porch is awesome. Very quiet neighborhood with expensive homes all around.

We love the location of the house. Everything is as described. The only thing that I would say is since coming in at the end of the season there were a lot of things stuffed in cabinets that had no rhyme or reason. A lot of empty boxes and empty cleaning bottles. There was also laundry in the washer and dryer when we got there. There was plenty of kitchen equipment, plenty of chairs for the dock and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. We would definitely return.

House was excellent the lake was perfect we brought me my sister’s family and my mom and dad and everybody have plenty of room, kids were in the basement there’s three bedrooms upstairs two bedrooms downstairs with the big living room everybody had plenty of room the dock is not that far away plus it’s got a little extra layout dock on there we rent a JetSki we had a boat and could not ask for any better of a house thank you very much

The house had a great layout for our two families of 5, with plenty of room. The location was perfect for renting from the marina and restaurants downtown. Thanks for sharing your house at Lake Keowee!

This is our 2nd time staying at this property because we enjoyed it so much the first time. We love the kitchen, spacious back porch and incredible dock! We find the lake to be so beautiful and relaxing. It is a quiet lake, so bring the fun with you :). Some of the interior could use a little freshening up (particularly sheets and towels), but overall we were happy.

Beautiful views from the deck of the surrounding area... marina was near for boat launching. House was VERY NICE with enough room for all to spread out and relax. The kids loved the game/TV room. We will visit again in the warmer months of the year.

Amazing house with spectacular lake views. Everything we wanted in a house and more. From the spacious kitchen and great room to the lovely bedrooms and one of a kind bathrooms this house was amazing. Especially loved the screen porch with the bed swing and spacious sitting area and dining. Can’t say enough about the house and surrounding area.

This lake property is near a marina and marina restaurant by water. The water is high and boating was fun. The cove is quiet but located near tons of stuff. Had a great time. House was great.

Wonderful lakefront home on Keowee. The house is great with plenty of living space both upstairs and down - plus a large screened porch off the kitchen. Beautiful lake views. Large updated kitchen with everything you needed to cook. It was very clean. We hosted our daughter and some college friends and it was a perfect home.

This is a nicely updated home in a settled, quiet neighborhood. The porch and view are beautiful. The well - stocked kitchen and the family room and porch are perfect for gathering. The location is very convenient to the marina (for boat rental) and to an Ingles grocery store. Lake Keowee is clean and beautiful!! The steepness of the lot and the number of steps could pose a problem for older people or small children. Also, it was not made clear in the description, but you must bring your own life jackets, floats, and ALL lake activity equipment. It would be a nice touch for the owner to provide those.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at lake Keowee! The house was large enough to accommodate our group of 5 couples & two children comfortably. The house was clean with the exception of some trash we found on the back porch. The boat slip/dock was large enough for our jetski and two boats, and we still had room to tie our floating mat to the dock. We did have to find a storage facility to keep our boat trailers as the recommended places don’t store trailers and the driveway was very steep for backing down. Other than that, our time was amazing and we will definitely be staying again!
