Our family of 7 had a wonderful time at Lake Keowee! This home was the perfect size for us. It had everything we needed for a week on the lake. The dock is easily accessible from the house, located in a quite and deep cove. We all loved swimming, fishing and canoeing off the dock. We also rented a boat and were allowed to dock the boat at house. We were able to take a short boat ride to the Lighthouse Restaurant. We were also very close to South Cove and Lake Keowee Marina. We had a great time. If we go back to Lake Keowee next summer, we'll definitely book this house again. The owners were so nice and accommodating, and very responsive!! Highly recommend!!

As a family we have been renting houses on Lake Keowee for many years now. This is our favorite so far! The location is ideal and the house has plenty of room for the kids and adults. The lot is nice and flat which makes it great for the kids and hauling things back and forth from the dock. The AC was cold and the water pressure was great. We’ve stayed at other places where neither was the case and this was a nice change. The owners left a nice welcoming note and treat for us at check in and they were very easy to communicate with. It’s a quiet neighborhood which is what we like. I wouldn’t stay here if you were planning on throwing a big block party. It’s more of a quiet family atmosphere which was perfect for us. The kayaks were a great added bonus for the kids to play with and the swimming off the dock is great. The water is deep and clean so it’s nice to swim there. There’s also plenty of room for my boat to keep there. We did have a minor issue with a doorknob breaking but the owners were very responsive and Lee was there the next day fixing it. Overall it was perfect for our yearly family vacation to the lake. We most likely will be returning next year. It’s refreshing to see VRBO owners take such pride in taking care of the property and people who stay there.

House is perfect for a memorable, easy family vacation!!! Everything you need is there. Location, views, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen are roomy for everyone to be comfortable. The instructions and outdoor facilities amazing.

Easy to rent

We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving week and the house was perfect for our group. The lot is not steep at all (rare for Keowee) and it has big water-type views while being in a quiet cove. The house was well appointed and the mid-lake location is very convenient to Seneca shops and restaurants. Very comfortable, lots of space, and the hosts were attentive and helpful. Look forward to staying there again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was super relaxing and very clean and well equipped. The location was great, far enough away to be quiet but close enough to the campus to be convenient. The hosts were welcoming and responded immediately to any questions.

Two families stayed here, and we had a great time. The house was clean and was cared for. Could not ask for a better location. Will stay again

This is a beautiful home on Lake Keowee with spectacular views and amenities! The bedrooms and bathrooms are all very large and very clean. A large laundry room with complimentary detergent and fabric softener is a bonus especially traveling with kids. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful but it is also nice to see other families out and about enjoying the lake and all it has to offer. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property. The owners Lee and Amanda are fantastic to communicate with and they made every effort to make sure we were comfortable. We can’t wait to return :)

My family and I had a lovely stay on the at Amanda and Lee’s home. The home was clean and well stocked. The reason we picked it was we wanted a home that was centrally located with a flat lot as we have two young boys (6 and 10). The house was exactly that nice and flat for the boys to fish, kayak and swim. They loved their private space in the “kids bonus room” too. We enjoyed coffee each morning on the porch. We brought a boat with us and we were able to have plenty of room to dock it without any issues. Their home is centrally located for a quick trip for groceries into town. Awesome week of new memories made on Lake Keowee. Thank you for hosting us.

We had a great time! House was beautiful, warm and welcoming and the location was perfect. Owners were very responsive and very kind. We will be back!

Saturday: The home was not ready at check-in time, we had to wait an extra hour before the cleaning crew was done. Once in the home we immediately noticed that the AC was on heat and it was 80 degrees inside. We immediately contacted the owner to let her know, changed the thermostat over to Cool and got in the lake (it was cooler outside than it was in the home). Owner told me that there had been an issue the Thursday before our check-in. The AC unit kept switching back over to heat so we had to keep an eye on the thermostat to change back over to cool - which is not a restful way to spend your vacation. Owner came out that evening and did nothing. Sunday and Monday: the AC unit was still not functioning properly, notified the owner again. Tuesday: the owner had an HVAC company come out and change the thermostat which did not help, and at this point the unit would not cool at all, we again notified the owner. Tuesday night/Wednesday morning: by 2:30am it was 79 degrees in the home and was absolutely miserable. We notified the owner that we would be leaving that morning and requested a refund for the two nights remaining on our vacation. Wednesday: We cleaned the home just as the instructions requested and left the home at 10:30am. I was notified by the owner at 2:30pm that the "HVAC folks came and solved the mystery". Certainly, by this point we were not going back. I have screenshots of my text messages with the owner say she would refund our two nights and thanked us for taking such good care of the home. I even have documentation from VRBO dispute resolution team were Owner said that if I did not leave a bad review that she would refund our two nights. It has been 3 weeks now and we have not received a refund, but instead received notification that we would be charged an additional fee for having visitors (whom did not spend the night) during our stay. I have stayed at a dozen VRBO properties and never been treated like this by an owner.

Place was as advertised and we didn't have a single issue. Would highly recommend.

We have stayed at several houses on Lake Keowee and Sheltered Shores is a new favorite. The property exceeded our expectations. Every room has a view and the interior is comfortable, cozy and clean. The house is convenient to Seneca and two boat landings. The water is close enough that teens can be easily monitored from the spacious and lovely sunporch, the living room or the kitchen. Not many houses on Keowee have such convenient access to their docks. Our fishermen also made use of the kayaks and they safely paddled around the quiet cove. Amanda was easy to work worth and responsive to all of our needs. We will definitely stay at Sheltered Shores again.

The property is very well maintained and very clean. The property owners/managers did a great job of contacting us about the check in process and even provided us supplies (soaps/paper towels/garbage bags/etc.). The cove is nice and peaceful and the access to the lake was very easy.

This is a lovey, if dated, lake house on Keowee with a great view. Comfortable, welcoming living space for six members of my family. While advertised as sleeping 10, it's really only comfortable for 6 adults. If we had small children, then 10 would fit well. It was Clemson graduation weekend and I rented three houses for family. All of the houses were within a few miles of one another and one was right down the street on the lake. We had a very small gathering (15-18) of adults (22-88 years), including two of my daughter's Clemson professors. We heard other parties on the lake that night (and on each night of our rental). While we were initially so excited to walk into the property, I can't recommend this rental. It was as if the owners were spying on us for the entire visit and I received a constant stream of text messages. At one point while I was out driving my mom to the airport, the owner physically blocked my son from driving into the driveway with his dinner and yelled at him for several minutes. The first text: you're not allowed to have more than 10 people in the house. The rental states the house sleeps 10, but does not say you can't have guests visit. In any event, most guests were outside because the weather was gorgeous and I can say with confidence that there were no more than 10 people in the house at any time. Needless to say, we felt very uncomfortable given the owner's conduct and my children did not feel safe as a result. This house also had the earliest checkout time and a very long list of "to-dos" before leaving. Not only did our other homes have later check out times, but the only item to do was start the dishwasher if any dirty dishes. I felt like I was the cleaning service. Finally, after I could no longer get a refund, the owners presented a very long contract to sign.

The property was extremely clean, easy access, and the waterfront view was great. There is a small sand bar a couple hundred feet in front of the property which was easy to get out too with a flotation device. The house is spacious and with two good sized bathrooms and a large laundry area. The dock is good sized and will accommodate a boat with no issues to at least 24'. The area of the lake is a small cove and very calm with a wind at times. Clemson is about 25 minutes and Greenville an hour. Great place for vacation or getaway to look at colleges or properties for a future move.

We stayed a week for Christmas, the house is very spacious and cozy. The lake views are spectacular and we spent the majority of our time playing board games, kayaking, and hiking the trails nearby. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary cuttlery and kitchen tools for cooking, and all appliances were working great. I definitely recommed staying here, and would certainly come back to visit.

We stayed over thanksgiving and really enjoyed our time. The property looks even better than on the pictures. Every room has a view on the lake and the view from the living room is spectacular. Our kids loved the upstairs and spend a lot of time playing there. We spent the time fishing, hiking and kajaking.

The views of the lake are amazing and the house is well taken care of and had everything we needed! Will definitely come back for another Clemson game. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
