About this property

Cozy rustic cabin on Lake Hartwell. Book a Fall getaway today!

  • We have a beautiful Cape Cod style cabin on Lake Hartwell, approx 40 min from Clemson, SC, and 45 min from Helen and the North Ga mountains. The cabin sits on a very large lot and is in a cove with only a few homes. Freedom Lake Cabin is clad in cedar and wood, inside and out and has a spacious open floor plan. The den has an open vaulted ceiling with a flat rock hearth and wood stove providing rustic lodge-like ambiance in a relaxed and comfortable setting. It is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing vacation with family or friends.

    Wooden decks wrap around most of the home, providing beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding forest. There is also a screened in section of the back deck with a table and chairs for outdoor dining. The huge front porch has rocking chairs and a porch swing and is the perfect spot to relax and read a good book or just enjoy the atmosphere.

    The den area upstairs has YouTubeTV live streaming on our Roku stick. A dining area sits adjacent to the den and overlooks the lake. We also have WiFi Internet.

    The home has a full kitchen upstairs complete with a JennAir range top for cooking, an electric oven, dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. The home also has a second kitchen in the basement with a range top and a second full size fridge in the garage.

    The master bedroom upstairs has a king-sized bed and is furnished with several antique pieces from the Southeastern US. The master bathroom, just off the master bedroom, is newly renovated and has a shower/tub combo. The 2nd bedroom upstairs is also furnished with several antiques from the area, including an authentic iron bed.

    The home has a fully finished basement. The wood-clad den area in the basement has a TV and a karaoke machine with hundreds of songs available.

    The home’s 3rd bedroom is in the basement. It has a queen sized-bed as well as a smaller twin bed. Just off this bedroom is another full bathroom with a combo shower/tub.

    Outside of the home, there is a BBQ grill.

    The property sits on Lake Hartwell, in a quiet cove. The oversized boat dock has a covered storage area for a boat as well as a sundeck perfect for sunbathing. Kids (and some adults) seem to love to jump off the sundeck into the lake.

    Note there is a set of steps that lead down to the lake. It's not recommended for those with physical limitations.

    Pontoon boat and Jet Ski rental is nearby in Lavonia and Gumlog. More information is available upon request.

    Whitewater rafting and zip line tours are also nearby in Long Creek, SC, a short 45 minute drive. For more info, visit

    This is truly the perfect vacation spot for families looking to get away from the big city and enjoy time together. The close proximity to Clemson and Athens also make it a perfect spot to enjoy a football weekend. Great fishing, swimming and boating await you here.

Savannah Banana game trip

Easy to find cabin as we got excellent instructions. Plenty of room and nice to have 2-1/2 bathrooms! Certainly enjoyed the early morning on screen porch and swinging on dock late in the evening. Would love to visit again!

Christmas family get together

Too steep for handicapped husband to go down to lake Entrance was very hard for husband to get into. My son inlaw flushed the hot water tank, which got rid of the odor. He also repaired drip under kitchen sink. We loved the cabin and it was perfect way to relax and spend Christmas.

Cabin on the water

This little, well, it actually was way bigger than I thought, but it was just the two of us, so we had plenty of room. We would definitely go back. The master bath has been redone. There are other rooms that show the age, but the house was clean and perfect for us. The master bed is the only bed used in the house so I can only speak to that but it could use an upgrade. Owners were very very fast in responding. We had no issues and would recommend to anyone.

We were in town for our son’s wedding. Not knowing the area, and needing a space large enough to cook for the welcome dinner and a flow of guests, this cabin was conveniently located and had the right space. Initially, we were thrilled to get in and find it was cozy and had a great layout HOWEVER, we soon realized the wrap around porch needs repairing and was a concern, the kitchen sinks had very low to almost no water pressure, and everything just really needed a deep cleaning/refreshening. And then, although the AC was set to 74, it kept shutting off. They did send someone on day 2 and the problem was resolved (hallelujah!!) but needs a long term fix rather than the extension cord from the attic through the bedroom doorway and hose out the window that we had the remainder of the weekend. It’s Georgia in June but, there were roaches throughout, the downstairs backdoor stuck on opening, 1 bathroom door did not close at all, and no sheets on the trundle beds. Overall, the space worked, Todd was very nice on the phone and did send the AC repair man but, for a cozy cabin getaway, it needs a deep cleaning and some basic maintenance & repairs. If we had been planning on more time at the cabin, in the lake, and not had all the off-site events, the above listed issues would have been of even greater concern.

Everything was as expected or better. Upon arrival did mortal combat with a hornet that found its was inside. Happy to report no casualties. The property description accurately warns of the path down to the dock. The front steps down to the front porch could use a hand rail. But that probably says more about me that the property. Place is terrific.

Fun on the lake.

We arrived on a Tuesday and check in was effortless. Plenty of room for entire family of 10. Lake was beautiful and we really enjoyed the front porch. We knew the walk to the dock was steep but you really get your exercise. We loved the cabin and the host was the greatest.

Work trip

This cabin worked just fine for a 3 person work trip. The stairs to the basement can be tricky if carrying a load, but there is a back door on the basement level for convenience. Communication was excellent!
