Perfect for couple’s retreat, girlfriend’s weekend, lake-loving families, or Clemson Tiger fans, this Knotty Pine Haven has everything you need for a relaxed lakefront getaway conveniently located in the premier mid-section of Lake Keowee, and only 9 miles from Clemson University!
From the chalet, you are within a short driving distance from the most gorgeous hiking/biking State park trails in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains, including the epic Stumphouse Mtn Bike Park and Issaqueena Fall’s. Drive to Seneca or Clemson for great shopping, restaurants, and several breweries.
Entering the Knotty Pine Haven, you’ll discover a quaint space lovingly decorated to create a sense of presence and calm. The chalet has 180 degrees view of the lake from its upper deck, where you can enjoy breakfast or chill with your friends in the afternoon while watching the sunset. The lower deck is fully covered and offers you an outdoor option even when it rains! It also has a covered gas grill and an 8’ long bar-top installed on the deck rail so you can enjoy the lake view while sipping your favorite beverage and chatting with your friends! From it, just go down the steps and be on the boardwalk that surrounds the lake’s edge!
Inside, you will find all the amenities you need to make your stay comfortable and fun!
The interior of the chalet offers three levels of living.
Open to the living and dining room is the loft. Choose to sleep in one of the two beds (one king size and one full-size bed with cooling gel toppers and dreamy comforters) and you will be rewarded with waking up to the most gorgeous view of the lake through the bank of windows that grace the lakefront (in the morning, it looks like a mirror!). The loft sleeps up to 4 people and has a full bath.
The main level boasts an open floor living and dining room with great views and soaring ceilings! The dining room table comfortably sits 8 people, and the kitchen is fully equipped with all the cooking utensils you may need, including pots, pans, baking pans, crockpot, serving dishes, toaster, and a coffee bar! Also on the main level you will find a private bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a full bath.
Aside from the amazing views and proximity from the water, the BEST FEATURE of this chalet is its lower-level GAME ROOM! It is a large space furnished with a pool table, a 86” smart TV that guests can log in to their accounts for entertainment or take advantage of the satellite dish (Direct TV) service, and a very roomy couch to give you the best game-watching experience!
The lower level also has a full laundry with washer and dryer, a half bath, and a private bedroom with a brand new Tempur-Pedic mattress that will make you not want to leave the bed in the morning!
Because we care about your sleeping experience, we also provide an assortment of soft, medium, hard, and extra-tall pillows for your ultimate comfort, and light, fluffy comforters!
BOAT SLIP OPTION:
You may use any of our community’s boardwalks and docks to fish or swim from. In addition, we offer you the option of renting a boat slip during your stay for only $100. Please message us to check for slip availability PRIOR to booking if that is important to you. We are happy to help you with contacts for half day or full day boat or jet ski rentals very close by. If you wish to bring your own boat and not rent our slip, we are only 5 minutes from an easy deep water concrete public boat launch, WarPath Landing. You can pull your boat in/out completely free and store your boat on its trailer at night for free in our locked community boat lot.

NO NOISE RULES:
Our community is lovely and most people there are super friendly and happy to be in ‘vacation mode’! However, we MUST be respectful of the other owners as the chalets are all close to each other. Please know that our HOA has recently implemented fines for loud noises outside after 11pm. Therefore, if you plan to have a party or wish to be loud after 11pm then this is not the right rental for you.
PARKING:
This close lake community of 30 chalets shares 2 large parking lots. We have 2 deeded parking spots that come with the rental and there is visitor parking as well. Please know, the parking is not directly in front of the chalet. You are welcome to drive up to the chalet to load and unload your belongings, but please do not linger there as to not block other chalet users from doing the same. Per HOA rules, cars parked outside the designated parking spots will be fined and towed at the owner’s expense. The walk from the parking lot to the chalet is similar to parking in the middle of the Target parking lot and walking into the store. It is not a long or strenuous walk, but there are some stairs so if mobility is an issue this may not be the best rental option for you.
NO FIREWORKS RULE:
There are no fireworks allowed at any time within our gated community…this includes off any of the docks.
DISCLAMER:
We reserve the right to immediately cancel any guest stay without refund if any of the short term rental rules are violated.
