Pirate's Retreat -Beautifully renovated lake home with Dock minutes from Clemson

Enjoy a relaxing stay on the water. Beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with everything from new appliances and furniture to small luxuries such as board games, DVDs, gas grill, 2 kayaks, 2 bikes, inflatable kayak, and outdoor games for your enjoyment. The property has a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains and is only a short 15 to 20 minute drive to Clemson University. Maybe you would like a mountain day trip to visit some local waterfalls or hit the trails, either skiing or off-roading, don't forget some shopping...endless possibilities. Walking distance from South Cove park where you can play tennis, pickleball, basketball, and use the boat ramp.

Another fantastic year at Pirate's Retreat!

Really a perfect location in so many ways: quiet, private cove, close to supermarkets, close to Keowee Marina for boat rental and east-facing for beautiful sunrises and afternoon shade. The hosts are awesome and the property is super-clean, full of toys and just perfect for a week or two at the lake!

CLEMSON GRADUATION

The property was great! Communication was the best we’ve ever had! A lovely stay! We would highly recommend staying at the Pirate’s Retreat !! The only suggestion is that there could be more table lamps (bedrooms and living room) - very minor !!

Excellent Stay

We had an absolutely amazing weekend at Susan’s property on the lake. Her home was so comfortable and fit our group of 8 nicely. So great to be next to the landing from a boat rental perspective! The house continuously had everything we needed which saved some trips into town. Would absolutely rent again!
