About this property

Lakefront Cabin Retreat. Private Setting. Sleeps 20. Boat Rental

Diamond Pointe is a private home that offers an unrivaled lake experience for family and friend gatherings. *** please note 20 guests is the limit at all times. Limited availability to guests at only 70 nights of rentals/year, then the calendar is closed. This waterfront retreat features an extremely private setting with over 1100 feet of lake frontage and no other docks in sight. Guests can spread out among 7 bedroom spaces in addition to a loft, all of which will sleep 20 total people. Guests will also have access to 6 full bathrooms and 2 full kitchens. A towering stone fireplace serves as a focal point for the main living area which is an architectural highlight. The cabin feel and handcrafted wooden features take you into the mountains while remaining lakeside. The main living area also features extensive windows and natural lighting that brings the environment into the space. The large exterior deck provides wonderful lake views from the various seating areas or from the second level hot tub. The lower level includes an expansive den with space to accommodate family and friends with additional outside seating areas. There is also a billiards space, and a poker table area for various recreation preferences. The property features a circular driveway with space to park numerous vehicles including a full size Pickleball court.

There is a short walk with a slight grade to the private dock where you can park your own private watercraft or rent one from the house (if available) for an additional fee. The owner’s boat may be at the dock, but there is space on the other side for a rental or personal watercraft. The landing to launch a boat is right around the corner, less than 1/2 mile. Deep water and a perfectly situated property for sunrise views make this retreat among the most desirable on the lake. The property includes a kayak launch with 5 kayaks provided (3 adult, 2 child) in conjunction with the rental. Paddleboards are also available for an additional fee. In addition to being a secluded venue to enjoy the lake with your family and friends, the property is located within a protected shoreline area as defined by the Army Corps of Engineers including its designation as a bird sanctuary. As such, experienced birdwatchers as well as those that just enjoy the sounds of nature will find the area quite pleasant and natural. Local fishing charters are available. Not only is fishing and recreation on Lake Hartwell unmatched during the summer, the lake is also ranked as one of the top winter fishing destinations in the country (https://fishingbooker.com/blog/winter-fishing-destinations/). Guests travel only 23 miles to and from Clemson Football games and graduations while avoiding the main thoroughfares. This amazing home is easily accessible from I85 (Exit 4).

***Please note that pets are strictly NOT permitted at this facility.

WiFi available is via fiber optic cable. The signal is strong and reliable.

Diamond Pointe is privately owned and managed. We (owners/property managers) may be residing in a separate guest house on the grounds for at least a portion of your visit. The guest house is not connected to the main house in which you will be residing. We can be available to address questions or assist, but will leave you to enjoy your stay at Diamond Pointe otherwise. We look forward to providing an exceptional getaway for your group.

Annual Family Gathering

Diamond Pointe is a spectacular rental home which accomodates 20. It is a spacious gathering place which provided ample indoor and outdoor entertainment for our family reunion of 3 generations. The owner was responsive to handle a minor repair, and didn’t charge our group for a broken kayak paddle. I highly recommend this rental property.

A bucket list trip we will always remember

We had a large family gathering which we’ve been trying to put together for the last five years. The house was absolutely perfect and superb. The boat was a blast. Sean and David were gems, especially when the electricity went out and they travel 30 minutes to bring us lights and a little generator. Luckily the electricity came back on in a few hours and the rest of the vacation was amazing. We will definitely try to come back here because we don’t know of any place finer than this. Thank you, Sean and David!

Also adds to privacy.Well worth the investment.

Absolutely amazing property with breathtaking sunrises over the lake. Great layout that allows for a large group to comfortably gather in the “public” areas and privacy and quiet for those individuals who may want to step away for a bit of solitude. The hosts were great and balanced perfectly the availability of being nearby with not hovering . Property very accurately described in listing.Highly recommend

Fantastic Fall Weekend

The house was perfect for our reunion weekend with old college friends. Easy drive to Clemson. The property has everything one could need - well appointed kitchen, amazing great room with plenty of seating, great views from the deck, video game, pool table and more. Shawn was super responsive and helpful with our questions and even managed to locate a pair of eyeglasses that one of our party left behind. We would certainly stay here again.

Amazing House Amazing Hosts!

The house itself is fantastic, plenty of space, well stocked with everything you might need and fantastic Wifi. In addition they have so many kayaks to use and we rented their pontoon boat which also was so convenient and a great boat. But beyond the house and all of the amazing amenities, the owners/hosts are fantastic. They reply very quickly about any question you might have, they are super friendly and amazingly helpful. I cannot say enough great things about them!

Awesome lake views!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake home. There were 5 families with kids from 2 to 16 years of age. Kids were swimming, kayaking (owners provided that); adults enjoyed the views from the balcony and an easy access to the dock (we brought our boat). Huge great room with the cathedral ceiling and a gorgeous chandelier was breathtaking! The property offers plenty privacy, no immediate neighbors. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your awesome property!

Carlton Family Vacation at Diamond Point

We’ll, believe what you see and then some. We had 18 of family during a week of vacation on Lake Hartwell. This property was incredible. We needed at least 5 bedrooms for each of the married couples plus all of the other multiple age grandchildren. It was perfect. Plenty of room to spread out and yet feel connected. The hosts were very personable and quick to respond to any question or issue that came up with our large group. Book your stay here. You won’t regret it. Terry

This is one of the few properties where the listing doesn’t do it justice. It feels like you’re the only ones on the lake. Everything in the house is functional. It feels like someone’s home, not a short term rental. The hosts also went the extra mile to make sure our stay was magical.

Perfect place for our family

This beautiful home was exactly what we were looking for on Lake Hartwell. Our large, extended family all gathered to attend our niece's wedding (on the GA side of the lake just 30 minutes away). 16 adults & 2 little ones spanning 4 generations! The home is easy to get to from GSP and has everything one would need for a fabulous family event. Pickleball and the firepit were the biggest entertainment hits! The kitchen is very well equipped and all of the beds were comfortable. We bothered Shawn with at least a dozen questions before our arrival and she was always quick to respond. Thank you for having us!!

Stunning home and views with plenty of room for big families or large groups

The property is so much more than you see on the description. The owners are friendly and helpful and so easy to work with! The house is spacious and beautiful and can hold so many people easily. The dock is very accessible. We rented the owners’ pontoon boat and were able to get out on beautiful Lake Hartwell together. We had an unusual stay as we checked in on Thursday at 4 and the hurricane rolled through early the next morning. The owners went to great lengths to help us in the midst. Very kind. Beautiful location, stunning home, perfect getaway for a big family.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Fleming

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in the beautiful state of South Carolina. We love getting to host our family (and extended family) gatherings here at Diamond Pointe. We have 4 married children (so we are now blessed with 8 wonderful adult children). We also have 9 grandchildren and counting. Being able to provide a home for large families to gather is very important to us.

Why they chose this property

Fair Play is quiet and friendly. We love our neighborhood and community. Our neighbors are absolutely the best. We are a tight knit community and look out for each other.

What makes this property unique

Diamond Pointe was originally planned (by the previous owners) to be a gathering place for events with friends and family. We love the space Diamond Pointe provides for connecting with family/friends while also having space to spread out for small group interactions. The setting is so private and peaceful. Big water views while having the convenience of a quiet cove. "There are more peaceful places, but not on this side of Heaven" - quoted from one of our first guests. We love living here and we love for others to enjoy and appreciate Diamond Pointe like we do.
