Another wonderful trip in the books!
We stayed at Serenity Bay in the fall of 2021 to attend a Clemson football game weekend with out of town family. Serenity Bay is an open floorplan house where we enjoyed time watching football, catching up with relatives, and you can't beat the beautiful views from the back of the house. The hosts are so gracious and offer water, plenty of spices, and dishware for cooking, etc. It is becoming a tradition for us to stay here and we look forward to many future Clemson football weekends staying at this wonderful property!

Beautiful home and location!
Wish we could have stayed longer! We stayed here while visiting our daughter in Clemson. The home was meticulous and beautiful. It had everything we needed. Location was about a 25 minute drive to campus. We definitely would have enjoyed an extra couple of days using the lake and outside activities. Hosts were responsive and helpful.

Relaxing property
House was very clean and well stocked with kitchen items. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. Loved all the water toys and life vests in the garage. We used the two kayaks. Two people are needed to move the kayaks from the garage to lake. Very quiet neighborhood and we used the fire pit for s’mores. Would definitely rent this property again.

Sweet Porch For Hanging Out By the Lake
Serenity House is indeed a peaceful spot, especially on non-weekend days. It has a serene back yard, with seating outside with a peak of the lake and a cute little screened in porch, which is helpful as water means mosquitoes. It's well set up, has lots of dishes, glassware and plastic stuff for outdoor use. Loved the rocking chairs on the porch for hanging out with friends. Huge living room, great master bedroom with very comfy King bed and lots of space. The other bedrooms are quite small. The place is super clean, well appointed and welcoming! The hosts are super responsive and terrific!

Clemson Graduation
We stayed here for my son’s graduation from Clemson University. There were 6 of us (my husband, myself, our 2 adult daughters, and my husband’s parents). Entry access was very easy and Jessica texted me to check in with us. She responded to my texts promptly. I would highly recommend this property. And it’s not far from Clemson University so it’s perfect if your visiting a student or coming up for a game!

Lovely Lakeside Home*****
Our experience was great. The home is well maintained very clean and welcoming. The host had snacks on the table which were greatly appreciated after our long drive from Maryland. The outside is well kept, and the view of the Lake is spectacular, especially from the dock. The host responded quickly to our questions when we arrived and during our stay. We would highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a quiet and lovely home for a vacation. We had a wonderful time visiting our granddaughter who is attending Clemson and enjoyed having a beautiful and welcoming home to return to after each days activities.

Weekend near Clemson on the lake
We stayed at Serenity Bay for the ND-Clemson game. House is nicely decorated and well appointed right on Lake Hartwell. We enjoyed a bonfire but did not get a chance to get out on the water because of after game tailgating. It was about a 25 min drive to campus through beautiful fall foliage. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Comfortable Home on the Lake
This home is a nice size for 4-6 people. If you are visiting your Clemson student, be sure to include them in your “number of people” if there is even a chance they may want to stay over as it is a drive from campus at night. We appreciated the communication with the owners. They were quick to respond.

Tiger Town in Townville
Adult weekend for Clemson homecoming was extra special because of our stay at Serenity Bay. The home was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was an easy drive to Clemson. Close enough to drive but far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle of a football weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Weekend
We really enjoyed this home. It was our first time staying and I am always a bit nervous staying somewhere new but I was so pleased with how clean the house was and that is really important to me. The beds are so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The kitchen doesn’t have storage for things you bring but we utilized the laundry room and garage. We also loved being able to pull into the garage - it’s huge! The walk down to the lake was very doable. Carrying the kayaks up and down you will definitely get your exercise in :). They provided so many great floaties and life jackets in all sizes. It was different not to have a dock but the water was low and it provided a place to sit chairs on and the kids to safely enter the water. I will say that you need to be careful with little kids or older family members getting on and off the steps . I did end up slipping/falling on the rocks while trying to help getting the kayak up to the stairs. My own fault but just be careful!

Week Stay for Fishing
We stayed here for the 2023 high school national Bassmaster tournament. The house was perfect and well-equipped for what we needed. We had access to the garage which was big enough for us to store our bass boat out of the rain. The launch nearby (about 1 mile) was quickly and easily accessible to make getting in and out of the water easy. We hope to qualify for nationals again next year and we would definitely stay here again.
