About this property
Cozy Lake Hartwell Cabin - Beautiful dock views! Bring your boat and your pet!
Bear Necessities is a four bedroom, 2 full-bathroom and 2 half-bathroom lake house on an amazing part of Lake Hartwell - located in a cozy neighborhood at the tip of the peninsula so, the water views are spectacular.
The house is set up on two levels, the main level has a kitchen that opens up to an open living and dining room area with sliding doors onto the rocking chair porch with great lake views and a gas grill.
The master bedroom is on the main level with an ensuite bathroom with a private sink & toilet. Bedroom #2 on the main has a king bed that can be converted to two twins upon request. This bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with private sink & toilet. Both bathrooms also have doors that lead to a shared jack and jill shower room situated between the two bathrooms.
Downstairs has bedroom #3 with a queen bed. Just outside the door is a private half bath with a door that leads to another jack and jill tub and shower room. Bedroom #4 is a bunk room featuring two sets of bunk beds (4 beds total) - perfect for kids! This bedroom also has its' own bathroom with private sink & toilet that shares access to the jack & jill tub and shower room.
Downstairs also hosts a great rec/media room with a big screen tv, games table, dome hockey table, foosball table and sliding glass doors to the patio with a lake view. Play on the outdoor ping pong table, corn hole boards or roast marshmallows by the fire pit! (Note: The ping pong table is easily stored if you prefer to have more patio space.) This outdoor space also has great lake views.
We are just a 15 minutes drive to rent a boat and 1 mile away from the closest local boat ramp to launch your own watercraft. Tie up your boat at our dock! (*Please note our boat will be locked on the lift during most of the year so the covered slip is not available for use*). There are are two tie-ups on either side, electricity plug in and plenty of space to sun and lounge on the dock!.
If virtual working is part of your trip, Bear Necessities also hosts a 1 gig speed internet allowing for a work-hard/play-hard trip.
Clemson fans, come stay and play in between rooting on your Tigers at the football game in the fall! About a 45 min. drive to the stadium.
We created Bear Necessities for families and friends to gather and make wonderful, lake memories. You can sit in the Adirondack chairs on the dock taking in the sunset, or wake up early and throw a fishing line!
