Pros:
House layout is great
Lake Keowee is amazing
Yard has a gentle slope and is easy to walk up
Water toys: big Mable, kayaks and paddle boards
Cons:
The house was dirty. Large sticky mystery spot under couch and bunk bed, old spaghetti under the stove, someone else's hair in the shower and on the toilet, stains on bedding, pillow cases and comforters.
The grill didn't work, nor did any of the 3 propane tanks with it.
The screened porch has a lot of ripped screens including the door letting in lots of bugs.
The outdoor furniture is dirty.
I don't care that the furniture is dated but it's also very uncomfortable, beds included.
The downstairs bathroom had a leaking toilet that flooded the downstairs bathroom. Someone had to come out and fix it.
An exterminator came to spray for bugs and told us that a massive yellow jacket nest lives under the front porch and they couldn't remove it because they needed special equipment but that it *should* be safe for people as long as we were very careful. There were yellow jackets not only by the front door but all around the house, in the broken screened porch, and living in a lot of the shrubbery. One yellow jacket got in the house and stung my 9 year old. We have lots of wasps where I live but no yellow jackets and my son ended up being super allergic! His whole face was swollen, his neck was swollen and his whole body broke out into a rash. We had to rush him to urgent care for steroids and an epi pen so he wouldn't stop breathing from the severe swelling. The end of our vacation we couldn't do anything except keep our son alive and safe from the yellow jackets.
The yard is covered in ants. They are everywhere. If you step on the grass, you will get bit. We put floaties on the grass and they were covered in hundreds of ants. Front yard, back yard, lower porch, ants everywhere.
Having the owners boat and jet ski at the dock took up a lot of dock room, and we spent most of our time at the water until my youngest almost died.
The fish at this dock will swim up to you and bite you. They feed the dock fish so the fish are trained to not be afraid of people, but they don't know the difference between people and fish food. Just know that you will be nibbled on if staying here.
Mouse traps all over basement bedroom suite.
Hard to lock upper and lower back doors.
Sticky substance in master tub.
Beds are not made due to covid.
Dishwasher had old dishes in it upon arrival.
