Updated: 1 day ago

Lake Keowee in Pickens County, South Carolina, with pine shoreline and open water.

Six Mile is a Pickens County town on Lake Keowee’s east shore, not a Greenville neighborhood with a lake tag. the published market year sits on SC-133 and SC-183. Public access from this side is Mile Creek Park at 757 Keowee Baptist Church Road. Private slips sit under Duke Energy’s Keowee-Toxaway Shoreline Management Plan, FERC, not USACE. Hartwell is a different lake, and jocassee is a different lake. This report underwrites the Six Mile AirROI cell, not a downtown Greenville weekend and not a west-shore Oconee desk.

This page uses one locked AirROI pull for Six Mile, updated 2026-08-08,. Advertised daily rate $440, and occupancy 35.8 percent. Typical year $44,801 , do not round that cell to $45,000. Median month $3,578, flagged WATCH cash, and revPAR $159. Peak month August, and peak-three August, June, and May. Lows January, February, and December, and supply in the file is up 21.4 percent. Revenue is down 11.9 percent year over year, and professionally managed share is 19.1 percent, flagged CLEAR. Superhost share is 75.0 percent, and guest Favorite share is 76.5 percent. Entire-home share is 95.6 percent, and Leave out unverified a newer ADR. Do not paste a Greenville Main Street calendar onto this dock.

This page is the market frame for a one-to-three-unit independent host on Keowee’s east shore. It is not Evolve’s four-door book, not Clemson Vacation Rentals’ three-door book, and not Oconee Hospitality’s three-door book. Those names are concentration facts later, not the buyer this report is written for. Unincorporated Pickens, the Town of Six Mile, and west-shore Oconee are different desks; therulespost is that walkthrough in full. The rest of this cluster will cover copy, managers, and whether one house at $3,578 can carry a note. Read the extract first, and then decide if the dock is actually yours.

What the 2026-08-08 extract actually says

AirROI’s Six Mile page is a platform sample of Airbnb listings attributed to this town. It is not a Pickens accommodation-tax census, and it is not an SCDOR remittance extract. It is not a Town of Six Mile business-license roll. Use the 2026-08-08 file, and date it. Ignore neighborhood cells that dump Hartwell, Anderson, Pendleton, Greenwood, or Oconee State Park onto this east-shore published market year. A pitch deck that averages those names into a Six Mile cell is teaching a lender a number nobody published for this house. Cite the pull you opened.

The occupancy figure is 35.8 percent, and the typical year is $44,801. The median month is $3,578, and that cell is WATCH cash. Those two money lines are not interchangeable, and median is the middle listing’s month. Typical year is a constructed annual from the extract’s method. Use the one you mean, and say which one you used. is large enough to talk about peaks, stay length, and who books. It is not large enough to pretend every dock house and every hillside house behaves the same on a Saturday in August. Do not treat Salem SC’s $22,012 or Sunset SC’s $26,405 as this market. Those are different AirROI towns.

Professionally managed share is 19.1 percent, flagged CLEAR, and superhost share is 75.0 percent. Entire-home share is 95.6 percent, and supply in the file is up 21.4 percent. Revenue is down 11.9 percent year over year, and those are sample facts, not a county speech. What this extract does not give you is a Pickens visitor-spend dollar you can put in a rent roll, a sale-price median for houses that can register, or a promise that your house will clear $44,801 after tax and empty January weeks.investmentmemo is that warning in full. Open the dated file yourself before you argue with any of these cells.

Peak-three August, June, and May

The locked file’s three strongest months are August, June, and May , in that order. August is the peak cell, and june is still full lake and school-out demand. May is the third peak, when water is warm enough and the calendar is not yet August. The lows are January, February, and December, and that is the calendar you price. Leave out unverified a fourth peak because one Clemson Saturday felt busy. Clemson home games are an overlay, not peak-three, and the.shoulderpost will walk the months. This page only needs the peak-three.

Low-season average in the extract sits near $2,796 at 27.0 percent occupancy and an ADR near $406. Peak-season average sits near $7,610 at 49.2 percent occupancy and an ADR near $472. A host who annualizes August will overstate the year. A host who treats 35.8 percent as a dead market is ignoring that nights cluster in three months and empty in three others. Staff the peaks. Do not staff January as if it were August. Do not staff this east shore as if Greenville owned the weekend. Pull Maps for Greenville to Six Mile via US-123 and SC-183 the Friday you list. Leave out unverified a minute in this paragraph.

This town is not Falls Park, Liberty Bridge, or Greenville Main Street. Do not staff, price, or underwrite as if those gates were a walk from your dock. The product guests already know from this published market year is Lake Keowee water, a private slip only if Duke and FERC allow it, and Mile Creek Park at 757 Keowee Baptist Church Road for public ramps. Keep for the lake day and a Clemson grocery run. Confirm park hours and any day-use notes on the county page the week you list. Leave out unverified a visitation number this cluster could not screenshot.

35.8 percent occupancy is a weekend machine

Thirty-five-point-eight percent occupancy on a $440 ADR is a RevPAR of $159. That is a weekend machine with empty midweeks, not a resort that fills Tuesday. Average stay in the file is 4.1 nights, and lead time is 82 days. Instant Book is only 13.2 percent, so most of this sample still approves a request. A slow Friday yes loses the Greenville couple to the next dock. Answer inside an hour or turn Instant Book on. The request queue is how already works.

Two-night minimums sit on 26.5 percent of the sample. Thirty-plus-night minimums sit on 52.9 percent, and those are two products sharing one search page. The 4.1-night stay is the Greenville and domestic weekend-plus stretch. The 30-night line is a different guest and a different tax conversation. Keep them as two separate figures rather than blending them into one occupancy story and then wondering why February is quiet. Price the weekend you have. Add the month only if the house can work as a desk with a closed door. January average stay stretches to 6.4 nights in the file. September drops to 2.9, and those months are not the same product.

Guests in the file are 97.7 percent domestic, and charleston is first. Greenville is second. The Friday origin is Greenville via US-123 and SC-183. Pull Google Maps the week of the listing, and print the Friday clock yourself. Leave out unverified one here. Atlanta is one I-85 sentence and the same finish , that is all this page will give Atlanta. A seven-night floor on a 4.1-night market is how you stay empty while the ramps at Mile Creek stay busy on Saturday. Price two and three nights first. Stretch the stay only after your own folio says guests will take it.

Product mix: entire-home lake houses

Entire-home share is 95.6 percent, and three-bedroom listings are 26.5 percent of the sample. Three-plus-bedroom listings are 64.8 percent. Eight-plus-guest capacity sits at 50 percent and is flagged WATCH. This is not a studio factory. Guests compare houses that can take a couple, a small family, or a reunion group that should have booked two doors. Keep the house you have. Do not copy eight-guest amenity language onto a two-bedroom because the WATCH flag is loud. The flag is a mix fact and a caution, not a style guide.

That mix changes operations. A two-bed on the hill is not competing with an eight-guest dock house unless you force the comparison. Cleaning, parking, and quiet hours all change when half the sample is built for eight or more. Superhost share at 75.0 percent and Guest Favorite share at 76.5 percent mean the guest already expects a polished stay, a current listing, and a host who answers. A 1-3 unit host can meet that bar. A 1-3 unit host should not try to look like Evolve’s four-door book on the first screen. Name the house, and name the lake, and stop there.

Cleaning fees in the file sit at a $176 median and a $254 average. 94.1 percent of listings charge one. Cleaning is 13.9 percent of gross. On a 4.1-night stay that fee is a real share of the quote the guest sees before they hit reserve. A $254 clean on a midweek Tuesday in January is a different conversation than the same fee on an August Saturday. Price the turn against the stay you actually get, not against a national average and not against a multi-door brand’s contract rate. The WATCH-cash median already assumes someone pays for that turn.

Waterfront plus 234.2 percent is a product class

Waterfront amenity in the extract prints about $62,972 typical year against about $18,842 without it , a plus 234.2 percent product-class gap. That is a class fact, not a promise for your parcel. A hillside house does not inherit the waterfront cell because the title says Lake Keowee. A private dock does not exist because a listing photo shows water. Duke Energy’s Keowee-Toxaway Shoreline Management Plan and FERC licensing decide private slips. Hedge application fees, slip length, and depth. Screenshot the week of draft. Leave out unverified a dock fee in this report.

Mile Creek Park is public access, not a private amenity you can sell as your slip. The county page has carried three paved ramps, courtesy docks, and a 150-foot dock with five loading slips , hedge hours and any day-use dollar. Keowee-Toxaway State Park canoe and kayak access is not a deep-water trailer ramp. Hartwell is USACE and a different lake; don't lead with it, and don't blend its figures into this one. Waterfront is the product class the extract rewards. Non-waterfront is a different underwrite at a different year. The investment post will say that again with the WATCH-cash median attached.

If you are buying or listing a non-waterfront house inside the Six Mile published market year, underwrite the non-waterfront class, not the $62,972 waterfront cell. If you are buying waterfront, underwrite the dock rights, the HOA, and the FERC file before you underwrite the revenue gap. A pretty house on the wrong shoreline class is still the wrong class. Do not paste the 234.2 percent line into a listing as a guarantee. Paste it into a buyer memo as a class warning. Then open the tax map.

Stay length, Instant Book, and the hidden published market year

Average stay is 4.1 nights, and January stretches to 6.4 while September drops to 2.9. Those numbers should sit on every pricing tab you open. A two-night Saturday arrival is still common. A 28-night or 30-plus remote month is a second product you add only if the house has a desk and a closed door. SCDOR sales and accommodations lines typically care about stays under 90 consecutive days , hedge that line before you treat a month as a different class of lodging. The rules post is the stamp stack. The remote post later in the cluster is the desk.

Instant Book at 13.2 percent is a market-structure fact. Most hosts here still want to read the request. That can be a quality screen. It can also be a lost Friday. If you will not answer inside an hour, Instant Book is the honest setting. If you will, a request queue is how this shore already works. Do not copy a coastal Instant Book rate onto a 13.2 percent sample and call the town unsophisticated. The guest already knows how to send a request. Match the town you are in.

Exact location is published on only 44.1 percent of listings. More than half the sample hides the published market year. That is a marketing fact and a guest-trust fact. A dock house that can name the drive to Mile Creek Park at 757 Keowee Baptist Church Road should say the minutes you timed. A house that is not waterfront should say so in the first paragraph. Hiding a dock-adjacent door to look exclusive is how you collect the wrong guest and the right one-star about a driveway they could not find at 9 p.m. Show the published market year if the drive is short. Hide it only if the drive is the thing you are protecting.

Evolve 4, Clemson Vacation Rentals 3, Oconee Hospitality 3

Evolve shows 4 listings and about $251,752 in the concentration cell. Clemson Vacation Rentals shows 3 and about $216,536, and oconee Hospitality shows 3 and about $88,983. Those are concentration facts inside, and they are not endorsements. They are not your 1-3 unit pro forma. Do not annualize their books and call the sum the town average. The town average in this file is $3,578 a month, and that cell is WATCH cash. Compare your August to your own February, and the.how-to-marketpost is the first sentence. Keep it for the house you operate.

Independents still make up most of the sample at 19.1 percent professionally managed CLEAR. Superhost share at 75.0 percent is the quality bar those independents already clear. A 1-3 unit host who copies a multi-door amenity list will still have one cleaner, one inbox, and one Pickens registration path if the published market year sits in unincorporated Pickens. Their occupancy and their ADR are their books. Your underwriting starts at $3,578 and $44,801, then moves only if your own trailing twelve says so. Comparing your August to a brand’s four-door total is how you invent a fourth season this market sample does not print.

Lead time is 82 days, and that is not a same-week market. August weekends and May openers get decided more than two months out. A host who opens the calendar in July for August is late. A host who still has January sitting empty in December is looking at a low month the extract already named. Eighty-two days is your photography and copy deadline. It is also the week you confirm Mile Creek hours and whether Duke access notes have moved. Charleston and Greenville guests are already planning, and Keep for them. Do not Keep for a ski persona this lake does not have.

How a one-to-three-unit host should use this file

Use the extract as a demand-durability check. August, June, and May are when the sample makes money. January, February, and December are when it does not. Price those months from your own booked-and-blocked history once you have a year. Until then, do not assume $440 is your house. That is the sample advertised daily rate, not an appraisal and not a closing memo. Know which band you can defend. Do not send a lender the August cell as if it were the year. Revenue is already down 11.9 percent while supply is up 21.4 percent. That pair is the caution, not a reason to invent a better year.

Use the Pickens-versus-town-versus-Oconee line as a stop before you furnish. If the parcel is unincorporated Pickens, register and remit on the county path before you treat AirROI as permission. If the parcel is inside the Town of Six Mile, confirm the business license at 106 S Main,. If the parcel is west-shore Oconee, you are in a different desk and a different cluster. Then come back to $3,578. A pretty house on the wrong desk is still the wrong desk. The rules post is cheaper than a sofa. The investment post is whether one unit at the WATCH-cash median is even the buyer.

Use place names guests type, and six Mile. Lake Keowee. Mile Creek Park at 757 Keowee Baptist Church Road. SC-133 and SC-183, and clemson for grocery and Saturday overlay. Seneca and Walhalla as west-shore drives, not as your published market year. Leave out unverified a Friday minute, and Leave out unverified a dock fee. Leave out unverified a purchase price. Leave out unverified a newer ADR than the dated file. The honest 1-3 unit plan starts at the WATCH-cash median and only climbs if the house, the photos, the dock rights, and the registration can carry it. Two units or a defended waterfront class is the buyer the investment post will name. Open the dated file, and date your own trailing twelve. Then decide whether this east-shore cell is actually the house you operate.
