About this property

Pet-Friendly Lake Hartwell Retreat • Hot Tub • Fenced Yard

  • Welcome to Dream Weaver Cottage, a peaceful Lake Hartwell retreat made for families, couples, and four-legged guests. Relax in the private hot tub, gather around the firepit, enjoy coffee on the screened porch, or let the pups play in the fully fenced yard.

    Two kayaks are available for guest use when lake levels and shoreline conditions permit. The nearby shoreline is shared, and lake views, water depth, swimming, and kayak-launch access vary with rainfall and lake operations.

    CURRENT LAKE-LEVEL NOTE: Lake Hartwell is lower than usual. More rocky and red-clay shoreline is presently exposed, and water activities are condition-dependent.

    Just 25 minutes from Clemson, Dream Weaver Cottage is a comfortable place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories year-round.

We loved this house. The very friendly Owners take pride in providing a very comfortable stay for guests and their dog. The house is clean, cozy, warm and inviting and the yard fenced. Short walk through the backyard to a peaceful lake view. Highly recommend!

I feel so lucky to have found this gem! My son goes to Clemson and this is my go to place with my dogs when coming down to visit. The house is amazing- clean, comfy, with everything you need. The screened in porch is my favorite overlooking woods and the lake. Hot tub is great perk and kept in great condition. The fenced yard and private access to beach is perfect for my dogs.

From the moment you walk into this 3 bedroom cottage you feel at home. It was so cozy and welcoming. It was clean and well decorated. It had everything we needed and more. The amenities of the hot tub and the kayaking was perfect. The views of the lake and sitting on the enclosed back porch was absolutely peaceful. We enjoyed this relaxing weekend at the Dreamweaver cottage.

This is our second stay at this cabin. We chose it for the fenced in yard. The first time was great!This time, however, the rain kept the pups in…. It was SUPER clean! We immediately were welcome with warmth. We were very well pleased! Everything was EXCELLENT!

Such a fantastic house and property! Great kitchen with all the ammenities,comfortable beds and so welcoming to the dogs. I loved the screened in porch that overlooked the woods and lake as well as the hot tub. Private access beach allowed for my dogs to have fun in the water.

This was my second stay and loved it just as much as the first time. The home is spacious, clean with great amenities. I love the screened in porch with views of the woods/lake. My dogs loved the fenced in yard and private beach to run. My son is a freshman at Clrmson, so we'll be back.

The house was spectacular and better than what I expected from the pictures. We weee there during a heat wave and the place was still cold inside and the amount of trees made the patio and yard usable even in the extreme heat. The fenced in yard is fantastic for dogs and is much better than what the pictures show. The one negative is that the sandy shore is not like the picture. There are a lot of rocks and it is more of a red dirt than a sand (all of the shores of Lake Hartwell are like this). It is also way up a finger of the lake, so you are not really on the main big body part of the lake. We still did a lot of kayaking and swimming, but probably would have preferred a dock to swim off of over the beach. Definitely recommend the place overall and was a fantastic value for the price!

Our family is so pleased to have picked this beautiful house and property for our weekend getaway. It has absolutely everything we needed to feel right at home with the bonus of a hot tub and a screened in back porch! Our dog has been so happy here. He did not sit down! He was running around the fenced in yard, and then playing with the dog toys on the dog bed on the porch. The fire pit is also great! We really enjoyed being out on the lake as well. Such a wonderful kitchen to enjoy our cooked meals. I honestly could go on and on. Thank you to our amazing hosts, who stayed in communication with us and were extremely helpful. Also provided this beautiful home and allowed us to enjoy it. We are looking forward to coming back as soon as possible!
