A Glimpse Into Summer Life at The Reserve at Lake Keowee

Don’t we all wish everyday could be an adventure, where we had so many options for fun and/or water sports that we couldn’t decide where to start? That’s what retirement living is like in the best places to live in South Carolina. At The Reserve at Lake Keowee, folks don’t have to travel beyond the neighborhood for fun activities, warm social gathering or get togethers with family, friends and neighbors.

Living in the fun-filled gated Lake Keowee community is like being on the ultimate staycation every day. There is always something to do!  From dining to water skiing and yoga to pickleball – there are activities for every interest inside the gates yet there are big events this summer coming to the Western South Carolina lakes area that are sure to draw an interest too.

For example, on June 13th, the Westminster Music Hall just south of The Reserve at Lake Keowee presents the West End String Band at 8pm.  The address is 101 W. Main St., Westminster.  Tickets are $10. The next day is the 2014 Lake Keowee Poker Run is from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. starting at Lighthouse Restaurant, Keowee Cabana Club, 1290 Doug Hollow Road, Seneca. The cost is $20 a hand. 

But not everything is a gamble, some things are much more of a safe bet. Take the farm to table movement, popular now for making meals with locally grown ingredients, directly from the field to your table.  The movement is a hit for several reasons. Eating food straight from the field tastes better and healthier.  The fresher the ingredients are – the better the meal is.  Add a beer and wine tasting and you can’t lose!  That’s what’s happening at Greenbrier Farms in a special evening to remember on June 9th. That’s just one of the side trips kicking off this month for residents at The Reserve at Lake Keowee. 

There are fun events held throughout the month at the gated Lake Keowee community of The Reserve including the ‘secret’ tradition of incredible pot luck dinners at The Village Market on Tuesday nights. Regrettably, they don’t all involve food and wine. Some are family-focused activities. Others involve fitness like tennis, golf and swimming. Amenities at The Reserve at Lake Keowee include 24-hour manned gated entrance, 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, 20,000 square foot golf clubhouse with dining, lakefront pool complex & grill, resort-style outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, four lighted tennis courts, fitness center, 5 ½ miles walking trails, community parks, 200 boats slips and marina, and the Village Market. To us, Lake Keowee is one of the finest Western South Carolina lakes to call home.
