Immaculate Lake Stay

This property was impeccable and comfortable for our family of six. Initially, we were apprehensive about staying in the guest house with the owners so close in the main house, but Mary and Pat were so hospitable yet respected our privacy. This house (and hosts) surpassed all of our expectations! This is a must go to location!

Very roomy 2 BR/2BA cottage overlookingh Lake Hartwell

We had a wonderful 2 nights at this cottage overlooking Lake Hartwell. Mary & Pat are very hospitable hosts. We had our 16 year old granddaughter with us and she enjoyed it as well. We rented their pontoon boat for a whole day and had a great time exploring this beautiful lake and anchoring to swim in several different places. Well recommended!!!

Wonderful, relaxing stay

We had a wonderful stay at Pat & Mary's lake home, such a peaceful & relaxing place! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the home was very clean and had everything (and more) that we needed to fix meals at home. The dock was amazing, we had a great time floating in the lake and relaxing and enjoying the tranquility from the upper level of the dock. Pat & Mary are very friendly, wonderful people and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Fair Play House

This house was perfect for the 2 of us, and would be great for a family of 4. Mary was very easy and clear to work with, the house was clean and had everything we needed. The dock and lakeview were gorgeous and perfect for Sunday morning with a cup of tea!!

Sweet lakeside cottage

If you are looking for a quiet respite, this is it. If you want a place to enjoy the water, this is it. If you value a clean, comfortable, spacious rental, this is it. Full kitchen, washer/dryer, gas grill, whirlpool tub, two story dock in a quiet cove. We brought our kayaks (and lifejackets) and had a wonderful time. Sweet hosts live next door.

Fun on the Lake

We enjoyed the Master’s lake house. Pat and Mary are great hosts. I stayed with my wife and 3 grandkids (10,8,6). The kids loved the fishing and boating (we were able to rent the Master’s pontoon). We definitely plan on returning. My wife enjoyed her birthday weekend. We will definitely rent again.

Wonderful, well thought out property.

What a pleasant stay we had. Nice, secluded property on lake hartwell with a dock, spacious home which was very clean, nicely appointed and well maintained. A bonus for us is that the property owners also had a home next door. Pat and Mary were wonderful hosts, very nice people and for anyone concerned about the property owners also living on the property, they respected your privacy.. I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with them. I definately recommend this property.

Great stay

We loved our stay on Lake Hartwell! Our favorite part was the dock on the lake. It is convenient enough to other areas (within an hour) that had a lot of adventures. We took a few day trips to Mountains Rest for some great waterfall hikes and also to Tallulah Gorge and enjoyed some time on the lake in the afternoon and between adventures. The house is on a quiet cove of the lake. We enjoyed floating in the lake and sitting on the dock morning and night. A great place to relax. The house is very clean and well maintained. Pat and Mary are lovely hosts.

Seminole Point...

Due to Hurricane Ian, I was only able to spend one night and the other memebres of my party were unable to attend. Accomodation meet all my needs. Since I was attending the Clemson game, I did not have an oppurtunity to enjoy the property. Planning a second trip the end of November.
