About this property

~A~ Little Bit of Heaven on Lake Lanier - Convenient to TIEC

The Oar House is an awesome place no matter the time of year. It's great in the summer for water play and relaxing. The view is spectacular, and you can swim right from the deck. It's beautiful in the fall when the autumn leaves are reflecting on the lake. Not far to a Clemson football game and then back to the lake to enjoy the autumn weather. In the winter it's just peaceful and quiet, and it's a great time for hiking and biking. This newly renovated home sits right on the lake. You have to see it to believe it! There is a living room and dining with a fully equipped kitchen all open to each other.

This house has three levels. The main level suite has a queen bed and the upper level suite has a queen bed, a daybed in the bedroom and a sitting room with a sofa that could sleep one. (It is not a sleeper sofa). Both suites have private baths. Both bedrooms have absolutely awesome views of the lake. The lower level has 2 bedrooms and a full bath. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other bedroom has a double bed and 2 twin beds Both rooms have vanity sinks.

There are three wonderful decks to relax on and eat on if desired. There is also an eating bar in the living area with six bar stools and the dining room table seats 8 comfortably.

Great Gathering Place

The house was very clean, well stocked. It offered many opportunities to either lounge on the deck and enjoy the beautiful scenery or play games. If desired, there was hiking, water activities available. The homey atmosphere added to the ambiance and would certainly consider renting again.

Loved it!

Beautiful house on a beautiful lake. Extremely peaceful.. Would highly recommend! For those with littles, just be aware that the house goes directly out to a dock and the water is deep.. definitely no zero entry point. Made for terrific swimming and play for our older kids! Can’t wait to visit again!

Peaceful, Comfortable House - Great Layout

This was a perfect place for our multi-generation family gathering, although maybe not a perfect fit for all such families - going up and down steps is a requirement for anyone staying here. The location is located between Fletcher NC and Greeneville SC, and is near several popular wedding venues, besides lots of other attractions, natural and man-made! The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and the layout allowed everyone to have some separate sleeping and bathroom space. Parking and check-in were easy, and communication with the owners was great.

What a beautiful place! We came together from MO, NY, and PA to attend our son's wedding. The Oar House was great. We had plenty of room for the eight of us. The sereneness of the Oar House made it ideal for relaxing and visiting. We loved the little towns of Tryon and Landrum. It truly is an escape from reality.

Gorgeous home on Lake!

Family with teen kids. Rained most of the time we were there but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with some board games.. We used the pedal boat and canoe a couple of times. Enjoyed a visit from a large moon-moth, the rare majestic bald eagle and 2 families of geese in the water. Tried fishing but no bites…caught and released one sunfish. Sitting outside on the deck was heavenly….u can hear yourself think!! Owner was very responsive to our inquires and genuinely ensures a good customer experience. Hoping to be back soon.

This is a AWESOME Lake house!

This house had everything you could ever need on vacation! We enjoyed staying at The Oar House so much! We found the Oar House to be everything stated and more. Our children enjoyed swimming in the lake and we enjoyed relaxing on the decks. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were comfortable, internet, TV and phone service was great to have during our stay. We had 12 in our party and we all had privacy with the way the house is laid out. The paddle boat was a big hit for everyone. We will definitely be back to stay again! This place is amazing! Thanks to the owners for allowing us to stay! I highly recommend this house next time you are looking to stay in the mountains!
