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!

Great stay

We stayed at the Pirates Retreat with friends for a long weekend with a Clemson football game. The location on the lake is awesome and the house was super clean and well equipped. There was always some kind of competition going on between the teenagers and adults ;) We would love to come back and hope to take advantage of the kayaks next time. Definitely a 5 star stay !

Tigers on the Lake

Stayed at the Pirates Retreat for a Clemson Football weekend. The house and amenities were amazing. We all had a blast. The kids loved the game room and fishing on the pier. Would definitely stay here again and hope to make use of the kayaks next time.

Another amazing stay!

This is our second summer vacationing at Pirate’s retreat! It’s definitely a home away from home with everything you could possibly need. Everything is well kept down to even the fluffy bath towels. No detail has been overlooked at this rental and once again we had an amazing time! The extra fridge and extra deep freezer are such a bonus for us, the rooms are spacious, beds are cozy, the kitchen has it all, and the lake is the most pristine! We are once again so pleased with our stay here and can’t wait for next summer to do it again!

Relaxing weekend

We spent a wonderful, relaxing weekend while celebrating our Clemson daughter’s ring ceremony. The house was exactly as described. So clean and bright with a wonderful wall of windows facing the lake. The family room was larger than we expected and very comfortable. Communication with Susan was easy, and she was quick to respond to some questions I had. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the lift/rack you have made it so easy to use and stow them versus lugging them to the lake from a garage. I highly recommend this property.

Over the Top

We take a lake vacation every year with our adult children and this was, by far, the best vacation and setting we’ve visited thus far. It was idyllic. The house sits on a wide cove with a tree covered campground across the cove( so nice not to be looking at other docks and houses.) The lake was clear and the yard gently sloping down to the dock. We swam from the dock, kayaked ( owner supplied) and paddle boarded all over the place. We had delicious meals from the grill and enjoyed the fans on the covered porch. The game room was a blast. We played foos ball, basketball and Tripoli. There is even an extra refrigerator in the game room. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Communication with the owner was prompt and courteous. This will not be our only trip to Pirates Retreat! Thank you for a great vacation!
