Clemson University Weekend
Our daughter will begin Clemson University this fall so, we took a family trip to spend some time there for an open house and a baseball game. The accomadations were perfect. The floor plan was great for a family with 2 teenage girls. They basically had their own floor! Our 2 dogs came too and enjoyed all the special things that made the place pet friendly. I would definitely recommend!

Lovely home with host who thought of everything
Keowee Key has it all and Tarah made our stay even better. We brought our pups with us and were greeted with dog biscuits and an immaculate condo, perfectly appointed. There was so much room to spread out, everything we needed, and just a cozy lake living vibe. We enjoyed time in the lake, on the porch(es), and winding down on the sofa at night. Couldnt ask for anything more. Thanks, Tarah we loved it!

The property and location were lovely. It was stocked with everything we need it and more. I would love to go back and stay longer so that we can enjoy more of the activities in the area. We were there for Clemson family weekend, so not much time to enjoy the actual property and amenities. It’s about a 25 minute drive to the college, but really a great value for what was provided

Nice property
There were 5 of us in the party - family getaway. It was very nicely decorated and had plenty of everything we needed. We even cooked a few nights and had everything we needed. It would be great for 3 couples as there are 3 levels and a full bathroom on each levels. The only thing that we didn’t love was the sitting bathtub in the primary bathroom, no stand up shower capability. But didn’t really takeaway from the trip. Great time, great pickleball at a nearby club, time we’ll spent with our family.

Great location
Great location for our wedding. A couple of items that need to be addressed is no full length mirror in master bedroom or bathroom. Tough for women to get ready without that type of mirror on main floor. Also the toilets have no pressure to flush with more than one piece of paper without constantly using plunger. Also the master bath has no shower but walk in tub with hand held shower. Not what I would expect in master. Other than that everything was clean and had all what you needed for a great weekend. If toilet situation was fixed would stay there again.

Horrible! We have filed a police report against this owner
We rented this property for moving in our son to Clemson. The area is fantastic and the development is very nice. The property itself however is NOT to the standards of the area. Upon entering the property we could tell that it was not well maintained. It is very dated. There were broken doors. There were numerous lights not working. The thermostat does not keep a consistent temperature throughout the condo so upstairs was hot and basement was cold. It advertised that it sleeps 8 however not comfortably. There is an open area on the second floor that has a single day bed. No privacy, no bathroom and not comfortable. The hot water heater is not big enough to keep up with the typical volume of eight people. Overall, the place was dirty. We found ourselves cleaning upon getting there. We notified the owner of all of this including a big active hornets nest right outside the deck door. She sent her “housekeeper” over to spray the nest and to change some light bulbs. That was it. The next day we noticed that the place was infested with roaches. We let her know if this too but nothing was done. The biggest issue was upon leaving we left one of our son’s boxes behind. When we went back to get it that same morning and the “housekeeper” was already there. She said that she was told by the owner not to let us in. That WE had trashed the place! We quickly realized what was going on. There was some scam whereby they kept over $1000 of goods and gift cards that was our son’s. Again, stay away from this property and it’s owner. There is something foul going on here.
