Perfect Family Vacation Spot

This lake house was perfect for our family vacation. It's on a quiet spot on lake Hartwell and is very close to the downtown area of Hartwell. Everyday was spent at the dock swimming and fishing. The house is very well stocked with kitchen appliances and bedding. The host was very responsive to my messages and gave detailed instructions on everything. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful location for family vacation

The property was quiet and beautiful. Our children loved swimming and fishing off the dock. The swing on the dock was my personal favorite! House was wonderfully equipped and was the perfect size for vacation with extended family. The weather was a bit rainy so the screened in porch was perfect for enjoying the outside weather without getting drenched! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

Great weekend of downtime

This house allowed several generations of family to come together for a long weekend and really not leave the house. There were gathering spaces on the main floor and lower level, there was plenty of space outside for the littles to roam, and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils, dishware, and small appliances. Thank you for opening your home!

Beautiful Lake Getaway

First of all, the communication with the owners was nothing short of easy and pleasant. The home is beautiful and roomy. Lots of great spaces to hang out and have different activities going on without feeling like everyone was on top of one another when we were all indoors. This was a perfect home to take my children and their friends for a graduation celebration. We look forward to going back again soon. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood and there is plenty of room to entertain and relax!

A nice, relaxing time with family and friends

Gary was great! We had some changes and he was very accommodating even before we arrived. The house was everything the listing said it was. The kitchen was really well stocked for 8 of us to cook 3 meals a day. The fire pit was so nice, and the dock was perfect for my husbands boat! The game room had everything the kids needed to keep them entertained. We had a nice, relaxing New Years and would definitely stay here again!

Fall Break Getaway

We had such an amazing few days at this property. Our college girls were able to meet us for the long weekend. The location is close to town and Hartwell has such a cute downtown area. We kayaked a little, but just enjoyed being together and relaxing. We walked/ran miles and miles over the few days we were there. The only complaint we had was the lack of washcloths. There was one per bathroom. Other than that, we had a great trip!!!

Beautiful House & Location

The house is adorable and spacious! The house is tastefully decorated, clean, and the kitchen has all of the utensils and appliances you would need. We were only in town for 2 nights for my grandma's funeral so we didn't get to enjoy all of the amenities , but we will hopefully be back in the future. The hosts were very responsive to messages prior to booking and when I had a question at check-in. We sat at the dock in the afternoon and it was so beautiful & peaceful! We really loved the house and the location (close to town and ON the lake)! If you need a rental in this area...book this house now!

Amazing!

We stayed at Gary’s for two nights and the only downfall is that we didn’t stay longer! It was clean, spacious, and the location was awesome. The kids loved having their own space and watched movies downstairs. There are a TON of movies and games to choose from. We also all loved the kayaks and swimming off the dock. We didn’t rent a boat but found we had plenty to do at the house without renting one. The walk to and from the dock was easy. My 3 year old was even able to do it but he also loved riding in the wagon that was provided. We will definitely be staying here again!
