About this property

Waterfront cottage with dock on Lake Hartwell

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. There were beautiful views, we had everything we could have asked for and more. There was lots of room for us to spread out. We were far enough out that we had plenty of peace and quiet, but close enough to enjoy some time at Clemson. We’ll visit again.

Great Visit

A wonderful property and peaceful setting. Not as close to Clemson University as I was hoping, but not an awful trip back and forth. Wish we could have enjoyed the lake more, but our visit was quick. Great house and hope we can visit again. Thanks!

Christmas Vacation

The house was the perfect size for our 6 adults. The beds were comfortable and both bathrooms being on the hall was also convenient. The kitchen and dining area were spacious and the coffee bar with a sink was nice. The view of the lake from the porch was great and the driveway had plenty of room for parking.

Gem at Lake Hartwell

We did a kid of know what to expect after reading all the reviews. It was a great weekend and the property was as described and even better. Very clean, tastefully renovated without killing its character. Very quiet, not too far from Clemson. The beds were very comfortable. Also enjoyed the coffee bar. We will hopefully come back one day .

Hidden Gem

This is the second time I've stayed at the cabin. Love the vibe at the lake. Worked well for us, my daughter and friends came to enjoy the peacefulness of the lake and escape Clemson for the day. We enjoyed the football game on Saturday. Had the best weekend. Highly recommend! Had everything we needed for a memorable weekend. Hope to book again next year! Thanks Doug!

Warm and cozy

This cottage was such a surprise. Set back in the trees, our first impression is of stepping off the road into the forest. The quiet tree-filled space with this (seemingly little) cottage nestled within and the lake in the background. Then we opened the door and the space inside is huge, warm, clean, and perfectly inviting!We spent our time enjoying each other's company, playing games, watching movies, and eating delicious meals. We did not get to enjoy the outside much due to the weekend constant downpour, but the screened-in porch was perfect for hanging out in the evening even in inclement weather. The double-decker deck provided beautiful views of the lake even with the soggy weather, and there was a beautiful fire pit with surrounding lights we were very sad not to have had the chance to enjoy.The only glitch we experienced was when the power went out in a portion of the home and it took some time to connect with the owner. In the meantime we made do and all was back to perfect after that.We loved our visit and already talk about coming back next time!
