Welcome to Lake Keowee! We hope you have a fantastic time here with your friends and family. If you have any questions, feel free to call or text 864-788-1177.

• Parking - Please park on the pavement only. We kindly ask that you do not park on the street or mulch. There is a parking pad just up from the courtyard for up to six SUVs.
• Trash Pickup: On Mondays and Fridays, trash is collected mid-morning. The trash truck will come down our driveway, so kindly keep the far lane clear of vehicles along the retaining wall on Mondays and Fridays. Please bag all garbage, as they will not accept loose garbage, and place it in the two large cans by the garage.
• Quiet Times Outside - Between 10 pm and 8 am, please keep noise levels down to respect our neighbors and the tranquility of the lake. Avoid loud music, TVs, or conversations outside or with windows open during these hours.
• Please observe the 25 MPH speed limit within the neighborhood, as there are no sidewalks.
• NO Fireworks - Our neighborhood does not permit fireworks.
• Furniture Arrangement - We kindly ask that you do not rearrange furniture or take indoor furniture outside. We also ask that Adirondack chairs not be moved from their current locations.
• Food and Drinks - Please ensure eating and drinking in the kitchen, dining room, or outside to avoid staining furniture and rugs.

We kindly ask that you clean ash from the bowl the following day with the provided shovel and ash can. After each use, please also recover the bowl with its lid to keep water from collecting.
