This property was perfect for staying near family during Christmas break. It was super cozy, beds are comfortable, kitchen has everything you need! Only 7 min from downtown Hartwell. Would love to stay here again!
We were in town for a game at Clemson & wanted a retreat for a weekend getaway and this place was perfect! The home was on the lake and very cozy. I loved the pieces the owners have in there-it’s interesting to see unique pieces of art & antique pieces. I would definitely recommend this gem! In the summer we hope to go back & rent a boat Owners answered all questions timely & left a book with restaurants & things to do. Price was super reasonable. Thank you for a little piece of Heaven
Loved this little house tucked away in the trees next to the lake Great patio area w grillKitchen had everything you need Loved the area people so friendly Easy check in & outWould stay there again !
We had a very nice stay at this cozy home. It was perfect for the 2 of us for a few days whole we fished on Lake Hartwell. Everything was just as it was described and all was comfortable.
This place exceeded our expectations. It was very quiet and peaceful. Home is very clean. Everything you need is available. Would highly recommend staying here, for quiet get away or family fun!
Wonderful stay. This is the first time I've seen a rental so well stocked. Everything was great from a nice fire in the fireplace to the tranquility of place. Is the house for sale? Just kidding . This is how much we enjoyed it.
Debbie’s home was very cozy especially with a real fire. She answered immediately when I text her and was very sweet and kind. The home was very clean and had lots of kitchen appliances and utensils. We loved it there and will definitely stay again. Thank you Debbie ;)
Nice place. Perfect for two people. Very clean. Loved the fireplace. Dock access is farther than I expected. Summer time would be tough trekking coolers, chairs and fishing gear back and forth, but was perfect for New Year’s.
The kitchen was fully equiped with a full size refigerator, knives wee a little dull but usable. Easy access to walk to the lake and nice large dock. Very quite this time of year, water was a little cold but that didn't stop us from enjoying the lake!
Very comfortable. Well stocked for all your needs. Only minor challenge was bedroom wall plugs did not want to hold charger blocks. Will use again when I come for visits.
