Our group of 5 couples spent a delightful week at this fabulous house on Lake Keowee. Lots of "pros" and very few "cons." Here are the highlights:
Pros -- 1. Great bedrooms; everyone was happy with the beds, and the showers had plenty of pressure and hot water. You can't believe the Master Bedroom; pictures hardly do it justice! 2. Great spaces through the house for everyone to gather and also areas for small groups or individuals to chill quietly. 3. Pool area sitting right down by the lake was a real plus. Water temperature was comfortable and the water was clear, albeit with some leaves and debris blown into the pool by the wind. Pool service came on Thursday to do a thorough cleaning and testing the water. 4. TVs everywhere (although there were a lot of remote controls to figure out!). 5. Check-in and check-out was a breeze, and Nick, the owner, was always quick to respond. 6. Oh, did I mention the pontoon boat that's included in the rental? It's old and well-used, but it started right up, ran well, and easily accommodated 10 adults. With kids, there would be room for even more.
Cons -- not many! The house is beautifully decorated, but it's getting a little old and there are some spots on the carpets and rugs, but overall it was a clean interior. The furniture was heavy and well-built, but some of it is showing its age, as to be expected in a rental. The outside also shows some wear, but nothing that stopped us from enjoying lots of time outside.
