Pros

Direct views of Lake Hartwell and Blue Ridge Mountain sunsets

Located within the Clemson University campus with access to nature trails and museums

Pet-friendly accommodations with dedicated first-floor rooms and patios

Championship golf course on property

Cons

46.5 miles distance from nearest international airport

Seasonal outdoor pool not available year-round

“The property's proximity to Clemson University makes it a convenient base for campus visits. I appreciate the thoughtful touches, like the Keurig coffee makers in the rooms, and the option of spacious suites; plus Sole on the Green provides welcome on-site dining. Factor in golf course access, and I consider it a solid choice for those seeking both leisure and convenience in Clemson.”
