Lake Hartwell Getaway

The house was really cute and we loved the layout. The beds were super comfortable and we loved looking out at the lake and all the beautiful hummingbirds on the feeders. Even though it was a quick trip for us we would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would come back if we had the opportunity!

Best stay in Hartwell

Our family has been staying on Lk Hartwell for the past 4 years and this was the best location so far. House was clean and spacious and was in a fantastic location. Great fishing nearby, quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors (and dogs), and proximity to downtown Lavonia and Hartwell made it convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent vacation rental

We had a very nice time at the property. We utilized a kayak and the dock for our pontoon boat rental. They were very close to house which made for easy access. We loved that the house had two separate living areas

Comfortable and spacious lake house that was well equipped in every way. The lake access was wonderful and close enough to shopping and restaurants in Lavonia if you wanted to leave (we didn’t!). Our hosts were wonderful. The lake water was relatively clear and good temp for a hot July!

Perfect Lakehouse!

Second time staying here, and it was wonderful yet again! The location is amazing on a quiet, wooded cove. The house has absolutely everything you could possibly need- well stocked kitchen/bathrooms, beach towels, board games, cornhole, firewood, kayaks, paddle boat, life jackets, and lake floats of all shapes and sizes! I couldn't recommend this place more highly. It's absolutely perfect and we'll be back!

The house was so wonderful! The setup was amazing and the location was perfect. Would definitely go back. The provided kayaks and paddle boat were utilized, allowing the teens to use them as well as our own boats. The new fire pit area was really nice also. Such a nice getaway!!

Awesome Lake House

This is a lovely home in a quiet cove. The house is clean and well maintained. The hosts are great; helpful but not intrusive. The cove and covered dock is great for folks wanting to bring their boat. Nice location and close to Tugaloo State park to launch your boat. This was our second year staying at this home and will likely be back next year.

Great location

We had an excellent time. We really enjoyed staying in the rental. We rented a boat for a few days and kept it at the property. The lake was peaceful. I am not sure how it is at other times of the year; but, in the fall there was hardly anyone else around. We didn’t swim or kayak; but, I am sure those options would be really enjoyable during the summer months.

Last Vacay before School

We have been to this neighborhood a few times and have loved the location. This home is right on the water with a great dock! The house is tidy and well decorated. Overall one of our favorites to stay in from over the years. The fire-pit and the smores were a huge hit!! Only suggestion is more blankets! Thanks for allowing us to stay. We had a blast!!

Fall Family Lake Trip

We had such a fun stay at this property. Not only was the property very clean but there were many thoughtful details that we very much appreciated. The kitchen was fully stocked and loved having the set up of body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the both of the showers. There was plenty of outside areas to enjoy including a fire pit with wood ready to use and of course lake access with a dock. If our travels bring us to Harwell again we would definitely consider coming back.

Daughter's Graduation Weekend!

Our family had a great time celebrating our daughter's graduation from Clemson on Lake Hartwell. This lake home was even prettier in person. The home furnishings and outside amenities were perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked and well organized. We enjoyed time on the dock, the kayaks and paddle boat were so much fun. The fire pit and dart board made for a fun evening. Just a wonderful weekend. So thankful for this time with our family. The hosts were quick to answer questions and very helpful.
