This is the second year in a row we've held our family Christmas here. The house is perfect for a family gathering. The hosts are very communicative and great to work with. If you have a family gathering to plan, definitely consider here.

We enjoyed the house and thought it was well laid out, well built and very comfortable. I truly felt at home.

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.

We had a nice relaxing family vacation. Lake Keowee is very beautiful and surprisingly warm. It was nice to get to tie up our boat to the dock. The home was very nice, as well.

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.

Family getaway was what I hoped for and more. Beautiful spacious home, beautifully decorated and in a great area. Great swimming area off the dock. I highly recommend. We will book again.

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.

Great place to celebrate and enjoy family. Plenty of room and the property has great views.

Very nice place!

Very nice place!

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.

Pros: House layout is great Lake Keowee is amazing Yard has a gentle slope and is easy to walk up Water toys: big Mable, kayaks and paddle boards Cons: The house was dirty. Large sticky mystery spot under couch and bunk bed, old spaghetti under the stove, someone else's hair in the shower and on the toilet, stains on bedding, pillow cases and comforters. The grill didn't work, nor did any of the 3 propane tanks with it. The screened porch has a lot of ripped screens including the door letting in lots of bugs. The outdoor furniture is dirty. I don't care that the furniture is dated but it's also very uncomfortable, beds included. The downstairs bathroom had a leaking toilet that flooded the downstairs bathroom. Someone had to come out and fix it. An exterminator came to spray for bugs and told us that a massive yellow jacket nest lives under the front porch and they couldn't remove it because they needed special equipment but that it *should* be safe for people as long as we were very careful. There were yellow jackets not only by the front door but all around the house, in the broken screened porch, and living in a lot of the shrubbery. One yellow jacket got in the house and stung my 9 year old. We have lots of wasps where I live but no yellow jackets and my son ended up being super allergic! His whole face was swollen, his neck was swollen and his whole body broke out into a rash. We had to rush him to urgent care for steroids and an epi pen so he wouldn't stop breathing from the severe swelling. The end of our vacation we couldn't do anything except keep our son alive and safe from the yellow jackets. The yard is covered in ants. They are everywhere. If you step on the grass, you will get bit. We put floaties on the grass and they were covered in hundreds of ants. Front yard, back yard, lower porch, ants everywhere. Having the owners boat and jet ski at the dock took up a lot of dock room, and we spent most of our time at the water until my youngest almost died. The fish at this dock will swim up to you and bite you. They feed the dock fish so the fish are trained to not be afraid of people, but they don't know the difference between people and fish food. Just know that you will be nibbled on if staying here. Mouse traps all over basement bedroom suite. Hard to lock upper and lower back doors. Sticky substance in master tub. Beds are not made due to covid. Dishwasher had old dishes in it upon arrival.

The home is well equipped, especially if you want to get out on the water. Two kayaks and two paddle boards are great assets to have for those who are active. The dock is large and provides easy access to take a quick dip in the lake. If you want to sit and enjoy the view, the screened in deck is great. The kitchen was well stocked with staples and has most of the tools you will need for food prep (missing a garlic press though).We did have a glitch a checkin due to the VRBO system not updating checkin info but the owner was very responsive and got us in with no issues.

We had such a wonderful time here. Lake inlet was quiet and peaceful. The house had everything we needed and more. Easy access to boat ramp next door. And Instacart even delivers! Plenary of room to spread out if you have a large family. Will definitely stay again if we come back to the lake.

Very clean house with plenty of room, had both kayaks and paddle boards at the house for use. Our boys loved it and kept themselves busy. Well situated on a quiet cove with easy access to main lake and easy driving distance to all the area towns.

The house was perfect for our family’s spring break getaway… beautiful, spacious, clean and well-stocked. We really appreciated having the use of the kayaks and paddle boards. Our kid almost caught her first fish, right off the dock! Unfortunately the line broke and it got away, but it appeared to be a fairly decent size fish. Overall, this was a great place to spend quality family time. As mentioned by the other reviewers, the internet is slow but that was a blessing, as it forced us to unplug from our electronics. Owners were very helpful, informative and quick to respond. We truly enjoyed our stay!

I definitely recommend this comfortable pet-friendly house on Lake Keowee. I just love this area and the house was a great launching pad for our adventures. We spend lots of time on the screen in porch - really pleasant. We enjoyed having the SUPs and kayaks available for use. We hiked to a waterfall or two almost every day of our stay - the area has fantastic hiking. We had a few questions and the owners were quick to get back to us. The bed in the master was a bit softer than I usually prefer, but we slept well in this very quiet area. House had an initial stock of basics - TP, paper towels, dishwasher tabs, hand soap, coffee filters, etc. Fridge is totally empty (no condiments left as you might find in some rentals), but there is a cabinet full of spices, oils, etc. Plenty of tableware. Knives are as you expect in a rental home - if you are driving in and plan to do a lot of cooking, maybe bring your own. Gas grill was really great - made me think about getting a new one at home! Internet is pretty slow, so I generally relied on my cell phone hotspot. Cell service is good but don't expect to stream video or do video calls. Also liked having the washer and dryer available - we could have packed a lot less than we did. Appreciate that the owners allowed us to have a late check-out on our last day. Nice house in a nice area with responsive owners.

nice place, however some the lights outside did not work in front and lake side on lower level. Handle fell off shower in lower level. Not a good place for elderly people due to stairs to bedrooms. Not much parking space. Nice house, great lake access, great rear deck.

My family and I absolutely loved our stay. I could not recommend this property enough. Every aspect was better than I could have imagined. The lake is beautiful and the homeowners are quick to respond. My family already wants to go back!
