Life is Better at the Lake! Waterfront cabin on Lake Keowee

This custom log cabin on the lake is your perfect getaway anytime of the year. With a private dock and one-of-a-kind boat house, there's no better place to spend the lazy days of summer on the water or cozy up by the outdoor firepit on a cool fall night.

With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this house is perfect for groups and families. It features a master suite on the main level with a King sized bed. Downstairs has three bedrooms: one with a King bed and attached bathroom, another with a King bed and beautiful lake views, and a third bedroom with double bunk beds perfect for kids of all ages. Also downstairs is an additional living room/game room with a (queen) sleeper sofa, TV and foosball table.

The lake cabin feel is carried throughout the home's interior, but the real show-stopper happens outside. In the terraced back yard you will find a stone patio with firepit overlooking the lake and down a few more steps is the unique boat house. The boat house has amazing views of the lake and a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator and sink for all your entertaining needs.

Lake equipment and toys such as life jackets and kayaks are provided, as well as access to the dock, but BYOB-Bring Your Own Boat! (inquire about boat rental)

The house is centrally located on Lake Keowee, allowing a quick boat ride north to the waterfall, or south to the Tiki Hut and Marina. The Lighthouse Restaurant is located directly across the lake from the house. Beyond the lake, it is a 15 minute drive to Seneca and a 25 minute drive to Clemson and several hiking trails are located nearby.

Check in is 4pm and Checkout is 10am.

A wonderful anniversary weekend with family

Despite a rather rainy weekend, we were delighted with our stay. The dock allowed fishing, swimming, docking our boat, and using the property’s kayaks. The host always was available for questions and made check-in easy and flawless. Internet was perfect, and there were several dining options for the 7 of us. With a lovely fireplace, we enjoyed a rainy day paradise. Best of all, there were beautiful views of the lake from most windows.

very enjoyable, great view, great home

Anyone wishing for a beautiful home at Lake Keowee for a weekend (or if fortunate enough for an entire week) this would be the place. Lots of resting places...porches, around fire pit, down at the lake. Could not ask for a better place. Lots of room, very clean, beautifully decorated. Hope to return one day.
