We had a wonderful time at this home! It’s just a special place and the perfect lake getaway! The Kitchen is stocked and well prepared for big families. The teens loved the kayaks, the game room and the kid sleeping room on the second floor. They have their own private areas. We all loved the pool and the patio. It was an amazing family vacation!

This house is absolutely amazing. Exceeded our expectations. Cleanest property and best stocked kitchen we have ever stayed in with VRBO. The pool and hot tub most enjoyable and the view from the lake shore was beautiful! The host was very easy to communicate with and always answered in a timely manner.

Beautiful lake house

We had a wonderful stay here at Lake Hartwell. Just a long two-week family trip with our two boys. Kevin was a great host - answered all questions quickly prior to our trip, and we only reached out once during the stay and he was very responsive and helpful. House and kitchen are fully stocked and it is a very clean and a really beautiful home. We rented a boat and had no problems using their nearby reserved community dock space. Lots of fun playing ping pong in the cool game room every night. Was just what we needed and would definitely return if coming back to this area again. You won't be disappointed!

My family was celebrating our Dad’s 77th birthday. We needed a home that would be large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. This was the perfect place. It had PLENTY of seating in the main living/dining area, as well as, the outdoor patio area. The kids loved having a room big enough that could hold all their cousins for a big sleepover. The game room was also a hit and the pool was the cherry on top. Plus the beautiful lake view. My father and stepmom both have mobility issues so having the main gathering areas (both inside and outside) on the ground floor was exactly what we needed, plus no steps getting in their bedroom, bathroom, and shower. The kitchen is a cooks dream. The pantry was fully stocked with all the necessities and the owners have truly thought of everything. This place is a hidden gem.
