A gentle slope takes you down to the dock and shallow kids’ play area. We are also very close to the big water if you bring your own boat or Jet ski.

All the bedrooms can be closed off for privacy and kids’ earlier bedtimes. The cabin comfortably sleeps 8 (1 King, 1 Queen, and 2 bunk beds).

We are approximately 1 hour & 45 minutes from downtown Atlanta, 1 hour from Greenville and 1 hour from Clemson.

The outdoor area includes Adirondack chairs, a fire pit and charcoal grill.

The cabin is five minutes by car from Carter's Ferry Boat Ramp, 10 miles (20 minutes) to historic downtown Hartwell, and 9 miles to Hartwell Marina.

Quiet and relaxing

Great lake house with plenty of space. Easy walk to dock. Really quiet but not far to paddle out to main lake. Very comfortable. Screened porch is awesome at night. About 20 min drive to main town and stores. Would stay again.

Another great week on Lake Hartwell

Whipporwhill cabin was a great setting for another week at Lake Hartwell! The house is comfortable, clean, and well supplied with everything we needed to prepare meals, do laundry, etc. The location is convenient to town/ shopping, and the deep water was perfect for boating.

Nice quiet cove

This property is on a quiet cove perfect for kayaking, kids swimming and viewing wildlife. The big water is less than 5 minutes from the dock by powerboat. The house is well equipped and comfortable. Response time from messages to the owner were very prompt and property instructions were clear.

Annual fishing trip

This was our first time at this property. Absolutely fabulous! Has a great lake house decor, kitchen has everything needed for cooking, beds are comfy. We spent most of our time on the dock fishing and had success. Nice easy walk to the dock unlike alot of Lake Hartwell homes. We have found our place for all future fishing trips!

Serene retreat

My family loved our stay and were lamenting having only booked for 2 nights. The proximity and views of the water are outstanding, and the home itself very comfortable and well-equipped. We loved the different spaces to relax in - the living room with views right to the water; the open deck; the spacious screened-in porch; and of course right on the dock! We hope to return during the summer when we can hop right in. As described in the listing, the cove is quiet and we'd feel comfortable with our girls swimming there. Very nice stay - even the neighbors were friendly! Highly recommend. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us! :)

We had a fabulous stay in the cottage in the woods! The home was comfortable and easy to “live” in. We had everything we needed, but don’t forget to bring all essentials for the bathroom, these are not provided. Everything was clean and the open floor plan was awesome for hanging out and visiting with everyone. The screened in porch was perfect for sitting and reading (or napping) and the lake area was beautiful and open and perfect for swimming or chilling out on the dock. Our two little Chiweenies also enjoyed their stay! We will most definitely stay again!

Perfect Vacation Spot

Wow! The lake house was just wonderful. Plenty of room to spread out. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were able to be closed off for extra privacy, or late risers who wanted to sleep in. House was very clean. Nice, large screened in porch was good to have for dining or just hanging out. Lots of shade trees on the property. Great A/C and large capacity washer / dryer worked well. House was stocked with all the amenities needed. Our favorite part was the beautiful double-slip dock in a deep water cove, which made a great swimming/kayaking area. Great price for what you get! Such a nice, quiet, dog-friendly area. Owner was very responsive. The only downside is that there is no garbage pickup, so you have to take your trash to the dump in Hartwell. It was a bit of a hassle, especially when the bag broke in our truck and we had to clean out the whole back section. Yukky mess! But not a deal breaker!If you have a large boat/ trailer combination of 25-30 feet in length, do not plan to pull down to the house! There is not enough room to turn around. If you need to get your boat / trailer and car down to the house, I would recommend backing down the driveway. We will rent this wonderful lake house again!!! So much fun!!!

Cute Lakeside Cabin

A good time was had by all at this cute rustic cabin with folk art accents. The cabin is very well appointed. Nothing at all was missing. The walk to the lake is down a short and gently sloped path. The cove is very quiet. Peaceful. No sounds but birds and insects. No boat traffic. The dock is top notch - perfect for docking your boat or Sea Doo or an early morning swim. The host was very responsive and oh so gracious.

If looking for a nice quite cove just for some peace & quite or for the kids to play without worrying about boats & wake then this is the place! The house was clean and spacious! Loved the screened in porch! Dock was nice & roomy. We had a great weekend! Only negative they don’t have garbage pickup you have to take your garbage with you. We will diffidently stay there again.

Friends Forever

We had a wonderful and very peaceful time! The property is very private and quiet. The screened porch was wonderful and where we spent most of our time playing games and relaxing. The dock was great and the water looked lovely for swimming. We didn't see any boats come in the cove so it was very safe for swimming. The owner was wonderful to work with and got back to me very quickly. Overall a great experience and we would rent again.

Heaven on Hartwell

Everything was great! House was amazingly clean and stocked! Loved that they had a vaccuum so I could touch up during the week!!! Rooms were spacious and private. A/C was great and loved that there were fans in all the rooms. The screened in porch was amazing for the morning coffee and afternoon cocktails! The lot is shaded and kept it cool. Dock was amazing! Easy to use the lake ladder. Dock very spacious. Water is great. Deep, so good for rafting and canoeing. My son enjoyed the canoe and fished off it. The inlet is nice, not so much water traffic, and everyone friendly. Saw lots of deer, geese, hawks. Neighborhood is quiet which was exactly what I wanted! Neighbors very friendly! Don't worry, about 23 minutes away there is walmart, dollar tree, shops, restaurants, and placed to buy food, including an Ingles supermarket. Totally recommend this lake house. Commmunication and response was great with the owner. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie McCaa

Host profile image
We bought this cabin so that our little girls would have an escape from the city to experience nature and the country. After purchasing the house, we quickly renovated it, adding the living room and master bedroom so that we could have friends and family stay with us.

We hope that you will enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Lake Hartwell has the unique combination of easy accessibility to major metropolitan areas and a quiet, remote location. Even on major holidays, such as July 4th, you feel like the lake is your private playground since there are so few people!

What makes this property unique

We love our quiet cove! It's a no-wake zone so there is almost zero jetski or boat traffic near our dock so kids can swim and play.

The gently graded and short walk from our house to our dock makes the transport of coolers, towels and supplies an easy task.

Our lot is wooded so you have lots of privacy.

We renovated and decorated our home for a lakeside feel with fishing prints and country antiques. We love to cook so our newly renovated kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make a memorable meal!

The wood-burning fireplace makes for a cozy getaway in the Fall and Winter as well.
