About this property

Lakelife at it's finest!

Our home is located in a quiet and relaxing lakefront community. Watch the deer from the porch or a sunrise like no other from the dock. Fish and swim all day then have a bonfire by the lake! Have lunch or dinner on the back porch or sun deck. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat with fun in the sun this is the place for you.

If you want to pair college football with lake activities you are in luck ... Clemson is 45 minutes away and the University of Georgia is 1 hour away.

Sleeps 10 with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Master has king bed and large bath with separate shower and air tub along with a walk out porch overlooking the lake. King bed on main level. The other 2 bedrooms offer queen beds. There is also a murphy bed in the living room and futon on 2nd level.

Gentle walk to the water. Bring your own boat or rent one nearby. Our dock is situated on quiet cove right off the main channel. Tugaloo State Park has several boat ramps and is only 1 mile away. The state park also offers hiking trails, putt-putt and tennis.

Local grocery stores and shopping close by. Greenville, SC is 45 minutes away and Tanger Outlet in Commerce, GA is 30 minutes away.

There is plenty of room to park several cars in the drive plus ample space to park a boat trailer.

Superb in every way!

This is a beautiful home on the lake. All of the furniture is very comfy and the decor is top notch! One of the best properties I have ever found on VRBO. Supplies were plentiful, very peaceful location, and the outdoor fireplace and living space was spectacular! We had a wonderful time and will be returning as often as possible! Highly recommended!!

Thanksgiving at the Lake was Fabulous!

Beautiful, roomy, very well stocked, gorgeous lake views, fishing, shopping, Taccoa Falls, and so much more...We enjoyed Thanksgiving week, sandwiched between two Clemson football game weekends. Thanks so much to the owners for sharing their home with our family. We'd love to return.

I had high expectations for this rental having grown up on the other side of this lake and it met every expectation with flying colors and beyond. House is fantastic and lakefront/dock couldn't be better! Definitely a 5star property. Can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront home. It was beautifully furnished with plenty of room and everything you need for a relaxing visit. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed to prepare your meals. Sitting on the porch was so relaxing and you will definitely see lots of deer wandering the grounds in the morning and evening. The location on Lake Hartwell is great. It is just down the road from Tugaloo State Park and within an hours drive of lots of great wineries and hikes in the north GA mountains. The host is very responsive and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this vacation rental!
Beautiful sunrise from the lakefront.
Nice flat path from the house to the dock.

We highly recommend staying here! Very roomy and kid friendly. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Beds are comfy. Got to see lots of deer everyday which was awesome! We enjoyed fishing and swimming off dock! We took our own boat so got to do some tubing and site seeing. We will be going back next year. Only thing I would suggest is two trash bins. Other than that it is awesome!!!!

Favorite Spot on Lake Hartwell!

This was our second stay at this property and live every part of it. House has been improved with even more living space and updated upper and lower decks for great outdoor living. House is spacious, modern, clean, and very inviting! I he dock is a great place to hang out with ample seating and great water to swim/float your day away. Will definitely be coming back for more summer time fun! Thanks for the great stay!

Fantastic home away from home!!

We spent 4 days and 3 nights here for an expo in Greenville and it was wonderful! The house is beautiful and roomy. The master bathroom is heavenly ❤❤ The deer passed through daily. We're from the country anyways so we see deer often but we got up early the first morning and was standing on the boat dock and the deer came walking down between us and the house and walked down by the lake so that was pretty cool. I could've sat on the swing on the boat dock for hours; it's a peaceful relaxing feeling like no other... We all truly enjoyed our stay here and I hate that it's over so soon!!

Amazing and peaceful property!

This served as our family’s summer vacation spot this year and beat all our expectations! The property is even better in person, spacious, and well kept! We spent the week taking advantage of the dock and enjoying the sunshine. The kitchen is huge and accommodated our family of 8 perfectly. Host is incredible and very helpful responsive to any questions or needs that may arise. We will definitely consider visiting this site again! Thanks, Karen!

This is a FANTASTIC place if you have a family with little ones. So much room, inside and outside play area for the kids, infant equipped, a ton of room to gather in the kitchen. A great place and enough room for 2 families to share. We had a blast.

Summer mid week lake stay

This is great property, exactly as advertised. Perfect for our blended family of three generations (one grand, two adults, four teens). Only about 10 minutes on water to the marina to rent boat there, or about 5 minutes from the nearby State Park that also has boat put in. Interior and exterior spaces were great and supported all of our eating/gaming/ relaxing activities. Nice swim off the dock and fantastic to float on some rafts as the dock is in a cove (not much boat traffic at all). Gas grill worked great. Dishwasher was broken but I think has since been replaced. We didn't mind. Communication was great. Overall peaceful and fun. We will stay again!!

Absolutely beautiful!

The home was perfect and the lake is amazing. It's in a quiet cove and the water is about 8 ft deep at the dock. It's perfect for swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking. The home was perfect for our group. All the beds were comfy, the kitchen was very nice and had everything that we needed, and the bathrooms were very nice, especially the upstairs one. We all spent a ton of time on the screen porch too. We'll be coming back!
