Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Keowee

We had the best weekend at the cottage. Easy, quick drive to downtown highlands. Some highlights - The pizza oven was great for making pizzas, grill was fantastic for grilling steaks, fire pit for s’mores and the Hot tub was used several times. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. We hope to be back soon!

Our family was fortunate enough to stay at Marissa’s lovely Lake Escape to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from Clemson. It was a beautiful way to enjoy being together. We loved Marissa’s beautiful lake house. It reminded us of our family cabin in upstate New York. Thank you very much Marissa for opening up your lovely home to the Giebelhaus House.💜🧡💜🧡

This was our 2nd time staying here. We love it! Plenty to do for the kids. Clean, private & super fun being just a few steps from the beautiful lake. This definitely will be a family favorite lake house to rent for many trips to come. Thank you for everything!

Beautiful, amazing and perfect for a getaway with friends or romantic stay. Architecturally stunning. Great example of mid-century modern with lots of cut outs, glass and details. Not for the mobile challenged (stairs and a bit of a walk from the car parking) and lots of glass (you give some privacy with other house mates) so if that is not your thing, I wouldn't recommend it. Very quiet except when you open the doors to the waterfall. First day, some water cascading over but after a rain it was all white and mesmerizing. Beds are small but very comfortable. I was able to cook some great meals and they had a lot of items you don't always have, like aluminum foil. Took the hosts recommendation for a vineyard (distillery was the highlight) and a stop in Toccoa, GA. Just book it and enjoy.

Great location on the water. Close to grocery stores and restaurants as well. Large dock and deck with lots of chairs/tables. Large house with lots of space to have privacy when wanted, but also hang out together. Weather didn’t cooperate so we couldn’t take advantage of the kayaks, marina or hikes in the surrounding state parks. There was a binder listing local restaurants and the local waterfall hikes available.

This place could not have been any better for a the sibling celebration we enjoyed. We spent the majority of our visit 'front porch sittin and talkin", remembering our lives and those we loved in a setting as akin as possible to our rural upbringing. A peacable kingdom with plants, birds and trees, birds, bea Eucharisteo!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It’s the perfect get away on the lake for big groups. It is in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you could need. 10/10 recommend!!

It is a very nice and comfortable house. I recommend it if you are looking for a house, it is the best option.

This place is wonderful. It was the most complete AirBnB where I have stayed. Highly recommended to anyone looking in the area. Craig and Janet are very friendly, outgoing, and welcoming. When in the area, or have visitors in the area, we will recommend this location.

What an excellent find. At one end of the small but densely packed downtown Highlands, we were no more than a 5 min walk from all the restaurants and shops we could want. The place was private and quiet while close to everything. I would recommend it.

The condo was beautifully decorated and well equipped. We loved the peaceful location. Craig checked in to see how things were going. We loved this listing so much we reserved it for our next visit to SC

Our stay was perfect! My husband and I decided to get an Airbnb with a pool for the weekend. Within moments of booking, Mark responded with a friendly hello. Upon arrival, everything was exactly as described and he had a very nice welcome basket with snacks and even drinks in the fridge for us to enjoy! The game room was awesome and full of games. We played with an 80’s arcade game machine, shot pool, shuffle board, ping pong and darts. There were board games too and the porch was absolutely beautiful, especially at night!!! We’ve decided to visit again in June and can’t wait! Thank you Mark and Candy for a very fun and relaxing weekend away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back!

The property was conveniently located and easy to find, situated in a pleasantly rural neighborhood with minimal traffic and a welcome sense of isolation from the city. The accommodations offered a commendable level of privacy, and the room was generously spacious, more than sufficient for my needs. I particularly appreciated the serene and tranquil atmosphere, which greatly enhanced the quality of my stay. Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb to others seeking a peaceful and comfortable retreat.

This is the second time we have stayed with this host and plan on making it our yearly spot. Clean, well kept, easy to get in and out, and a great location that is far enough to be calm but close enough to all the major areas. Definitely recommend this host and location for your stay.

We had a very nice couple of days at William and Lori's place in Seneca. It was cozy and nice to have a place to come home to each day after our outings of touring waterfalls in the NW part of SC. Conveniently located to everything we needed including restaurants, the parks that we visited and grocery stores, etc.

Has a fabulous week at the condo, which is so close to the lake.... The most peaceful and relaxing place to stay..... We had a good time at the pool and enjoyed the local area. Wish we could have stayed for longer. Deborah was a great host.

Glen’s place was perfect! Instructions for the house were very clear and helpful. Close to the lake and surrounded by a bunch of great amenities. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful location. Highly recommend a stay at Glen’s.

This was a perfect place to stay for my nephew’s graduation from Clemson. The place was nice, clean and was a perfect distance to school. It was also walkable to the all the shops and restaurants around Clemson. Thank you for a great stay!!

We booked Benjamin’s place for my son’s graduation from Clemson. The four beds and two baths worked well for our group. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was clean and stocked with kcup coffee. Note: there are 44 steps up to the apartment and we picked up air fresheners because the place had an odd smell. If you’re taking an Uber, you have to walk out to the apartment complex next door for pickups.

I really loved the decor throughout and the kitchen was perfectly laid out which made meal time easy. The location is a really pretty spot and we even had Thanksgiving at the club! I would definitely go back again.

We had a wonderful stay at "Golden Tee". The kids loved the loft, and the lake was so convenient. A little slice of heaven! Thanks!

I had a fantastic stay at this peaceful condo near Lake Keowee and Clemson! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described — perfect for a short getaway. The bedrooms were spacious and cozy, with plenty of closet space and ceiling fans in every room. Bonus points for the washer and dryer, fresh linens, and thoughtful touches throughout the home. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a quiet, well-equipped place near the water with easy access to outdoor fun and Clemson!

Great place for a weekend getaway. The location was perfect and the condo was clean and cozy. Dave was super responsive and very helpful. I would highly recommend.

I had a great stay at Brandon's for several days while doing some work at Clemson. It was perfect for my needs; cute, clean, nicely stocked kitchen, and peaceful. I would definitely stay there again!
