We are sending our oldest to Clemson and decided to take a week at lake Keowee to spend our "last" vacation and get to know the area a little better before she left.
Lake Keowee is isolated, a little less than an hour from Greenville. But wow. The home is incredibly clean, well laid out and has everything you need. The open floor plan and large table were perfect for game night. A fantastic grill with a smartly placed ring toss made grilling the nights meal a fun family event. The beds were comfortable, the baths modern and clean. Our other daughter is a high school junior, but the set up with the room with two beds and an entire seating area on the bottom floor would be perfect for those bringing younger kids that could have thier own "area" while adults hung out upstairs. The best part for us was the upper deck porch that was among the foliage of the trees. One could look between the red and white oaks, walnuts, and see down on the lake. It was just an incredible place to begin the day with coffee and end with cabernet.
But as great as the house was, lake Keowee stole the show. I highly suggest renting the boat if you are competent. The boat was the gateway to all the beaches, the waterfalls, and the house fantasizing! Lake Keowee is a gem.
I think this is a great value and we truly had a great vacation. Cathy is an excellent communicator, even to the point of labeling just about everything so there is no confusion :).
Two thumbs up, 5 stars, etc!
