Keowee Vacation Rentals in Salem, South Carolina

“Overall the stay was fine. Biggest issue is with the downstairs area. The doors are broke, and when we arrived they provided a code but there was no lockbox or any other indication for how to get in. Additionally, the downstairs area is very old and outdated. The furniture, beds, and everything else feels very used. It was also damp and dusty down there. One of our guests had to sleep on the couch upstairs due to this. Upstairs we had little to no complaints. Speaker on the tv is broken and one of the burners on the stove wasn’t working.”

“This home was clean and quiet. It was close to Lake Jocassee and all our waterfall hikes! The locals were extremely nice as well!”

“This is a beautiful property with great potential, and we appreciated the peaceful mountain setting. However, there were several issues we wish had been disclosed before booking. The listing advertised six beds, but only five were available upon arrival, which was inconvenient for our group. We also found a note about briars, snakes, and bears—understandable for the area, but something guests should know in advance. There were also safety concerns. Bats in the fireplace made noise throughout our stay, and the basement doors would not lock once opened, raising security issues. Additionally, the dirt driveway could become hazardous in wet conditions. Overall, more transparency would have helped us make a more informed decision.”

“Good location in Keowee Key and close to North Marina for quick stops. Having experienced a lot of VRBOs and AirBnb properties my only suggestion is to provide at least 1 backup toilet paper per bathroom when cleaning leaves a half roll - same for paper towels, and 1 trash bag. Build an extra $10 in rent vs asking a tenant to go out and buy this during their stay. Very inconvenient. Otherwise clean and as described in the listing and nice location.”

“Nice place to stay. Family and friends enjoy the weekend.”
