Another fun memory making stay at this lake cabin. The amenities were amazing and the weather was great! We drove a short distance to Toccoa and participated in the fall festival. The grandkids loved the kayaks, fishing, and the fire pit (s’mores). They already want to come back! There were two adults and three teenagers and we had PLENTY of room to spread out. The hosts were great and we hope to stay here again.

Great stay at the lake!

Donna and Kevin’s cabin was perfect for our stay with family! We have family living just around the bend from them, so the location was perfect. The home was well set up for us, with two bedrooms and plenty of space. They were gracious hosts, very communicative and the home had everything we needed! We’d happily stay there again - thank you guys so much!

Perfect getaway

This lake house was the perfect get away for me and my wife. Everything about this house made our stay an amazing one. It was very clean and the quiet surroundings is just what we wanted. We plan on using this place for many trips to come and already can't wait to go back again. The owners were very helpful and responsive.

So Wonderful!

My wife and I stayed at the cabin to celebrate her birthday weekend and had a truly wonderful time. The cabin was well-equipped and comfortable and the location on a cove just off the main section of the lake was terrific. We enjoyed meals on the deck, exploring the lake on our kayaks, and just relaxing in the water right off the dock with the hosts' floats. Highly recommend and we look forward to returning!

Awesome stay

Beautiful clean 2 bedroom house on the lake. Extremely well equipped with everything I needed to enjoy a reunion with my daughter and granddaughters. Enjoyed the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the dock and the deck. I would recommend this house to everyone who wants to stay at lake Hartwell.

Fishing trip

Very clean, roomy, beds were comfortable, and a boat ramp near by. The neighbors were awesome that were close by. The only problem I had was getting my boat in and out of the driveway, but I managed it okay.

We came for the Clemson game but didn’t want to stay with all the crowds near campus. This was a perfect getaway for our family and we were able to have friends from school join us for a lake day. The owners were responsive and communicative. Great experience!!!

quiet and relaxing.

Had an enjoyable 3 night stay. Area is quiet and lake views were nice. perfect for time relaxing and some lake action. Would stay again. there are small town within 20-30 min for the basics and short 1 hour "ish" drive gets you to a larger city. Host were easy enough to get in touch if needed but their welcome packet was easy to understand and got us through without the need to contact. Had a great time. Would recommend and stay again.
