Lakeside Getaway
This place is wonderful. It was the most complete AirBnB where I have stayed. Highly recommended to anyone looking in the area. Craig and Janet are very friendly, outgoing, and welcoming. When in the area, or have visitors in the area, we will recommend this location.

Close to campus Clemson Condo
Very nice host and home

Decked Out
Great place to stay. Just minutes to Anderson University and downtown Anderson. My wife and I stayed here for graduation. The place was quiet, clean, and exactly what we needed. Karl was very easy to work with. Would stay here again if we’re back in town.

Pendleton Loft near Clemson University
We had a wonderful time! The loft is lovely, quaint and comfortable. So much attention to detail. The location is perfect, just off the square in Pendleton, and Clemson adjacent but not in the middle of the hubbub, so we were very happy to stay here for our son’s graduation. Wish we had found you four years ago! Thank you for everything, Susan!

Cedar Lane House w/ RV Hookups
Loved the place! Incredible location, very clean, and able to comfortably fit everyone!

Sweet Tea Retreats Lake Keowee
The house was wonderful. Everything is brand new, clean and organized. There wasn't a detail that they didn't think of in the house. The beds and other furniture were very comfortable. We didn't grill out, but if we did, there are two great grills available. The views are wonderful of the cove of the lake. It is about 10+ minutes over to Clemson and 2 miles to grocery stores. There is a marina 1 miles away if you want to rent a boat. And the hosts are extremely responsive and helpful. The house is a little small or tight in places and it would be tough to live there full time, but for vacation purposes, it was perfect. And they do such a great job of maximizing the space for your comfort or usability. We will definitely consider this house again if staying in the area. We highly recommend this house.

Lakefront Keowee Luxury Cottages 129
Enjoyed an extended stay visiting our daughter at Clemson. The house was incredibly neat, clean with comfortable beds, excellent kitchen, excellent deck and grill, and host very responsive to any questions. Close enough to Clemson to make it convenient without being too close and easy for our daughter to come out frequently. Lake setting was fantastic. Would most definitely stay here again, highly recommend.

Your Clemson Sports and Academic Headquarters
John was a great host. He was friendly and everything in the house was perfect. I would stay there again!

Your guide to Clemson
All About Clemson
Clemson sits in the western region of South Carolina against the impressive backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Driving through the city, you can see its transformation from small, Appalachian farming village to thriving college town as you pass centuries-old red brick farms and the grand university buildings across the city’s historic districts. Hear the roar from local football games on your way to one of the many historical and cultural sites in Clemson, like the Hanover House or the Old Stone Church, where you can learn about what life was like in Clemson during the 18th and 19th centuries. Admire the natural beauty of South Carolina in the Carolina Botanical Garden, which offers a 295-acre exhibition containing thousands of native plants, as well as an opportunity to explore ash and oak tree-lined trails or the massive 17,500-acre Clemson Experimental Forest.
In the summer, cool off from the southern heat by swimming or boating in nearby Lake Hartwell before heading into downtown Clemson to enjoy some delicious barbecue and watch the sunset over the rugged mountain skyline.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Clemson
Though Clemson is located in the South, its location near the Blue Ridge Mountains provides a true four-season year for the city. Winter is cool with cold nights, and spring is temperate and balmy. Summer into fall is warm and humid, and this is the most popular season to visit — especially once the academic year starts.
The most vibrant time to visit the city is during the spring and fall, and the events in town reflect that. In April, the Pendleton Spring Jubilee hosts hundreds of artists from all over the country selling their works while you can enjoy live music, local food vendors, and tours of historical sites. In May, the Artisphere Festival hosts over 100 artists who showcase their work alongside craft breweries and wineries. If you are a fan of college football, be sure to schedule your trip in November, when a college bowl takes over the city for a weekend.

If you’re interested in learning about the region’s cultural history, visit the garden’s pioneer village, which features the Hunt Log Cabin built in 1825.

Located in the Calhoun Bridge Center, this vital museum offers a number of rotating exhibits educating visitors and prompting discussions about Black history and celebrating the achievements and culture of African Americans.
Clemson Experimental Forest
This 17,000-acre forest of protected land was part of the New Deal and surrounds the City of Clemson as a living classroom and resource lab for the university.
