We had time to slow down and have great discussions in a very inviting and relaxing environment. Nothing beats the cozy atmosphere of a house with lots of wood! We will definitely come back! ##### Jakob S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy U. Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Women's Church Retreat This was the perfect location for our quick weekend away. The home is beautiful and the location is peaceful. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. The one thing that was not accurate but definitely worked to our advantage was that one of the queen beds upstairs has been changed to three twin beds. I would highly recommend this home for family reunions and small group retreats. In fact my group already asking when we can go back. ##### Tracy U. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big Family Getaway We absolutely loved our long weekend at this spacious home! Recently we gathered our family to celebrate our mother’s 80th birthday and this place was large enough to comfortably sleep all 19 of us. The large dining tables, indoor and out, were also perfect for us to gather around. I’m not sure another VRBO exists on Lake Keowee that can accommodate this many people. Also, though not a new home, it was extremely clean! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kylee H. Oct 10, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### House needs to be cleaned and applainces updated. Great location. We have stayed in another house in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the house and especially the kitchen was dirty. Pots, glasses, plates were all greasy and dirty. The kitchen cabinets were sticky due to lack of cleaning. There were dead bugs in the beds upstairs which means that the bedding had not been changed for our stay. It appears the house had not rented in a while. The grill needs replacing and we had to light it manually since the igniter had rusted out. The fireplace didn’t work and house only has an apartment size dishwasher which is not adequate for a house that sleeps multiple families. ##### Kylee H.
