Lake Keowee Retreat! Swim, Boat, Kayak & Relax on Dock Just Steps from the Water

Lake Keowee Lakefront Retreat — Spacious, Serene & Perfect for Families

Discover your ideal lakefront escape at this stunning, private Lake Keowee retreat, designed for families and friends to reconnect, relax, and recharge. Nestled in a quiet wooded setting with direct lake access, this spacious two-level, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home comfortably sleeps 11 guests and offers everything you need for a memorable vacation—from sunrise paddles on the water to cozy evenings by the firepit.

Whether you’re planning a summer adventure, a fall getaway for Clemson football weekends, or a quiet off-season escape, this retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty.

Lakeside Living at Its Best
Step outside and feel the stress melt away. Two oversized decks—one covered, one open—offer stunning panoramic views of the lake and are just steps away from the water’s edge. Start your day with coffee while the mist rises from the cove, and end it with sunset cocktails or a warm blanket and a good book in the evening breeze.

No boat? No problem. There’s no better way to soak in the lake vibes than lounging on the upper deck, which features comfortable outdoor furniture, a patio dining table for six, a gas grill, and a propane fire table. It’s the ultimate spot for morning meals, afternoon sunbathing, or evening gatherings under the stars.

When you’re ready to cool off, walk down the gentle stone path to the dock and dive into the deep, clean, swimmable waters of Lake Keowee. Explore the cove on one of the included kayaks or our stand-up paddleboard, or simply float peacefully on an inflatable tube and watch the clouds drift by.

Inside the Retreat: Comfort Meets Style
The interior of the home is designed for maximum relaxation, with spacious living areas, tasteful rustic decor, and thoughtful amenities to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Main Level Highlights:
A bright, open-concept living room with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and lake views welcomes you the moment you enter.

Kick back on comfortable sofas and enjoy the gas fireplace or a movie night on the 70-inch flat-screen smart TV.

The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a spacious pantry, and everything you need to prepare and enjoy family meals.

A rustic-style dining table seats 8 comfortably and is perfect for long, leisurely dinners or card games after dark.

The main level also features a luxurious master suite with a plush king-sized bed, large windows overlooking the lake, and a private entrance to the upper deck. The en-suite master bathroom has been recently remodeled with a spacious tiled shower and modern fixtures, creating a true spa-like experience.

Lower Level: The Ultimate Hangout Spot
The lower level of the home is a cozy and welcoming space ideal for children, teens, or extended family members. It offers a second living room, additional sleeping quarters, and direct access to the lake.

Downstairs Features:
A second great room with a comfortable sectional sofa, large windows with lake views, and a laid-back vibe perfect for family board games, quiet reading, or rainy-day movies.

Bedroom 2: A large room with two cozy queen beds—great for adults or older kids who want to bunk together.

Bedroom 3: A queen bedroom with lake views, providing a serene, restful atmosphere.

Bedroom 4: A fun bunk room with a twin-over-queen bunk bed, perfect for kids or teens.

A full bathroom is also located on this level with all essentials provided.

Sliding doors lead out to the lower covered deck, which features a porch swing and additional lounge seating. Just beyond, a stone path leads to the dock and firepit patio—just 12 feet from the water!

Outdoor Amenities: Designed for Memory-Making
Private Dock: Swim, fish, or tie up your boat or jet ski. The water here is deep, clean, and refreshing!

Lake Front Retreat

Two sisters and families truly enjoyed the stay here at this lake front house. The house was just as described. It was clean and perfect for our family. The house, the dock, and the lake are really the best. It is a perfect place for a getaway and retreat. We will be back.

Family weekend getaway

We were celebrating family birthdays with a long weekend at the lake. The house was great for our family of 2 grandparents, 2 kids under 3 and 2 parents. There are very few steps from the house to the lake (very rare for Lake Keowee!). We loved the fire pit and board games! House was clean and well stocked. We will be back again!

Wonderful location

This lake house was amazing and we’ll definitely be back. The house was very clean and spacious. It is located on a cove of the lake. We were there during the week and it was extremely quiet which made it very safe for my children to swim. The kayaks and paddle board were a great bonus. The lake is extremely warm and calm. Highly recommend for a family vacation.

Peaceful cove

We had a great stay at Lindsay Landing. The house is large and there was plenty of room for my family . The beds were comfortable and the house was clean . We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and board games . We ate meals on the deck and spent endless hours reading on the deck chairs . The cove was incredibly quiet and we felt like we had the water to ourselves for kayaking , swimming and paddle boarding.

Wonderful stay

This was our second time staying here because we absolutely love it. It’s a great location tucked back in a cove on the lake. It’s very private and quiet where the dock is. They have one paddle board and two kayaks for you to use. The water is incredibly clean for swimming. My children, which range in age from 11 to 18, are all able to swim and kayak. There’s not much boat traffic other than the weekends. There are also some beautiful waterfalls and hikes about 20 to 30 minutes away.

Family Weekend/ Musty Smell in Lower level

Nice house with easy water access. The kitchen was well stocked. The basement that housed 3 of the bedroom had a musty/ damp smell. Especially the bunk room that didn’t have a window. The grill was really dirty when we tried to cook dinner on it. So ended up not using it.

Lakeside Holiday Family Time

We enjoyed every minute of our family's December stay at this lovely lakeside home! Nicole was easy to work with (after a small glitch getting the entry code), and the house was very comfortable for all 7 of us (adults). We enjoyed reading on the covered back deck and fire table on cool, rainy mornings and evenings. The family room and open kitchen allowed us to maximize our time together while watching football and cooking dinner. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with all the necessities, although I'd ask about the little things ahead of time (trash bags, dish detergent, etc. There's a Dollar General nearby and Walmart is not too far if needed.) The "kids" enjoyed their downstairs suite, and spirited games of ping pong were had in the garage. Outside, we all enjoyed the firepit, and fishing off the dock, as well as paddle boarding and kayaking. One day, we hiked Yellow Branch Falls nearby -- a beautiful, moderate 3.1-mile out-and-back hike across several streams to the falls. We will definitely go back to this lake house again. December was great, but summers must be even better! :)

Lake Life for a Weekend

We all really enjoyed the house. Fun time on the lake with the kayaks and paddle board. The water temp was still amazing. The kids enjoyed the s'mores by the fire pit. It was a nice treat from the host. I went for a run along the quiet streets and a nearby neighborhood with nice homes to dream about. We were there for a Clemson game, but wished we could've had more time hanging out at the house.

Framily Lake and Hiking Vacation

The House is located on a quiet cove with a great dock, kayaks and a paddle board. We rented a pontoon boat and had plenty of room to dock it and still swim/kayak from the boathouse dock. Very pleasurable! Besides the Water sports, we also hiked to beautiful Waterfalls in the close N.C. Mountains. TV, kitchen, and furniture was very pleasing and functional. We grilled or dinners every night and used the stove for our breakfasts every morning. All 6 of us Adults (3 couples) had a wonderful stay!

Musty/Humid Basement

We booked this home two separate weekend for the summer. Upon arriving both times and walking to the lower level you can immediately smell the musty basement smell. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are down there so, it was a little concerning. We found a dehumidifier in the closet and ran that the entire time and it helped. We would not book again for this reason. The house is really cute otherwise.

Happy with our stay

The house was nice, clean, and mostly as advertised. The listing says 3 baths, but it's really 2 full and one half. Otherwise as expected. The driveway is pretty rough and gives a bad first impression. I'm glad I didn't bring the boat to the house, pulling the empty trailer down that driveway was sketchy enough. Once we got past that, everything was great. Overall would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a place on Lake Keowee. Would definitely stay here again.
