This house was AMAZING! The pictures really don't do it justice. Our family enjoyed a week at this beautiful lake-front home. The house is very spacious and the outdoor living and pool area is phenomenal. The host also provides the best cookware and appliances in both kitchens (indoor and outdoor). We would most definitely recommend this home to all our family and friends!

Kevin was an AMAZING host and his communication with us was SPOT ON and very timely!!! The property was stunning and we absolutely loved the very well-equipped kitchen where we prepared every meal from scratch!!! The pool was used and enjoyed every day of our stay and we also had a lot of fun in the game room with the ping pong table. Although this trip was solely for some R&R with just my husband and I.....it would be highly recommended for families or couples wanting to get away with a lot of space!!THANK YOU KEVIN for all that you did to help me have an AMAZING bday get away with my husband...mission accomplished!!!

Nice and relaxing

This home was perfect for relaxing, playing cards, eating on the covered patio, just hanging out and unwinding. All great things to do when it’s too chilly to be near the lake. We chose to visit the Hartwell Animal Safari as a local activity. Super fun thing to do and hilarious!

Gorgeous house packed with amenities!

This house had absolutely everything you’ll need for a family vacation! 4 adults and 2 older teenage boys, and plenty of room for everyone! We rented a boat for 3 days also. The game room and pool were definitely a hit! First time in Hartwell so we enjoyed the little downtown area. The owners were very responsive with any question we had. If we decide to come back to Hartwell, we’ll def be staying here again! An absolutely perfect place for a family vacation. Thank you for letting us enjoy your oasis on Lake Hartwell!

Heaven in Hartwell

This is a fabulous large home on the lake in Hartwell. There is plenty of room for multiple people to stay and also to spread out so you never feel crowded. The amenities are great and the hidden game room is a lot of fun! We came for our daughter’s college graduation from Clemson and while it is about an hour away from the school, that turned out to be nice because we were able to get away from all the crowds of people. The house is located on a quiet street and the supermarket, gas station, and other stores are only a 3-4 mile drive down the road. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing stay :)

A great getaway!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at this beautiful home. This is our second year staying at this home and we had a wonderful time. The kitchen is nice and big and perfect for cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of table space for everyone to eat! We had teenagers ranging in age from 12-19 and they all had a great time sleeping upstairs in the bunk room and hanging out in the game room. They also enjoyed the hot tub! The adults enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake, eating yummy food and watching football. It was a wonderful vacation! Thank you!

Gorgeous setting

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful setting from just about every room in the house. Extremely well equipped, we lacked nothing. We loved the pool with a diving board. Pool furniture needs to be replaced. Only 2 back elements worked on the stove. Only half of the hot tub jets worked. Other than that, this place was spectacular and I would definitely return.

My family was celebrating our Dad’s 77th birthday. We needed a home that would be large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. This was the perfect place. It had PLENTY of seating in the main living/dining area, as well as, the outdoor patio area. The kids loved having a room big enough that could hold all their cousins for a big sleepover. The game room was also a hit and the pool was the cherry on top. Plus the beautiful lake view. My father and stepmom both have mobility issues so having the main gathering areas (both inside and outside) on the ground floor was exactly what we needed, plus no steps getting in their bedroom, bathroom, and shower. The kitchen is a cooks dream. The pantry was fully stocked with all the necessities and the owners have truly thought of everything. This place is a hidden gem.

Located in a quiet neighborhood, what a wonderful home to enjoy the laid back lake life. This was our family vacation (ages 14-85 including our 4legged “child”) and it did not disappoint. Finally a kitchen well stocked to cook for a family of 12 (big pans/bowls/etc) with outdoor grill, spices, and basic kitchen needs… just bring the meat and veggies. Even in late July, we lived on the covered cool back porch and meandered to the pool and lake for swimming. The teens thoroughly enjoyed kayaking and fishing. The game room provided a retreat for the adults to have quiet time while the teens held ping ping tournaments and played Tetris. We all enjoyed movie night and even dared the heat of the jacuzzi. Overall, the stay was great and the communication from hosts was excellent. I highly recommend.

Wow! Don’t overlook this knockout gem. This lakehouse is perfect for responsible families or groups looking for a lovely getaway with top-notch amenities. Our 2-day graduation celebration, during our 3-night stay, was a complete success! The property is incredibly spacious and thoughtfully designed, offering both cozy, shared gathering areas and private spaces to relax and recharge. The hosts truly exceeded expectations by providing great communication and the various essentials needed for a carefree visit — no multiple trips to the store required. One of my favorite highlights of the home was the saltwater pool, especially bc it ACTUALLY HAS A DEEP END! (Unlike many other rentals that advertise use of their pool, but have disappointing water depths of about 4 ft). No more wading in less than 2 ft of water with all the kiddies! It was nice to unwind, cook on the grill (gas), and entertain our guests at such a comfortable place with the simple touches already furnished. Other standout features:• Stunning lake views that bring a peaceful start to every morning• A fun-filled playroom that kept both kids and young adults entertained for hours• Plenty of extra bedding and seating for large groups• Luxurious, yet welcoming accents throughout the home that made our stay even more enjoyableOur family would absolutely return for another visit! We highly recommend this charm for graduations/celebrations, family get-togethers, or a serene retreat away from everyday-life stressors.

We had an amazing and relaxing vacation! We spent lots of time lounging at the pool, playing cards, reading on the back deck, grilling out, and enjoying the lake. It was a wonderful week! We had 10 people - my family of four, my sister’s family of five and my mom. Our children range in age from 14 years old to 22 years old, and they have an amazing time together at the lake, pool, game room, and playing cards on the back deck. It is close to many restaurants and Ingles and about 45 min to Clemson. Truly an amazing week!
