About this property

New Lake House Overlooking Hartwell, Campus, and the Clemson Experimental Forest

Last Minute Availability for Clemson graduation!

Completed in 2022, 591 Tree Cat Trail is a five bedroom, five and a half bathroom home located in a secluded cove on Lake Hartwell next to Clemson University. Situated on a wooded hilltop, this home gives you a private mountain house feel with view of campus. Amenities such as a grocery store (Aldi), restaurants (Starbucks, Tipsy Taco, Five Guys, Lakeside Lodge’s Traditions, etc.), and shops (Marshalls, Five Below, Ulta, Mr. Knickerbockers, etc.) are a one-stoplight drive from the house. Across the cove from the house is the undeveloped Clemson Experimental Forest, providing peaceful views where it is common to hear turkeys gobble, spot nesting blue herons, and watch bald eagles catch fish. Once you leave the cove by boat, you will see Clemson’s campus, football stadium, and the big water of Lake Hartwell. The Clemson Marina is located outside of the cove as well and offers a restaurant, bar, and boat rental services. Fall is filled with the sights and sounds of football while spring has baseball, softball, and crew team races. Summer is all about enjoying the water and exploring beautiful Lake Hartwell. This home has a two story, max-size dock that can hold two guest boats plus two guest jet skis. The dock sits in deep water, so no matter the lake level, you are able to enjoy swimming, boating, and relaxing.

Wonderful Family Time
This house was perfect for family time. We celebrated a clemson graduation as well as family Christmas. The kitchen was spectacular and well stocked. The house offered large gathering spaces as well as places to “get away” from the crazy. The room layouts offered so much privacy at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. OH…the VIEW was magical especially a sunrise and at night.

Perfect Clemson Football homebase
We stayed here for a Clemson football weekend. The house is very well equipped. Everything we need to make meals was available in the spacious kitchen. Lots of space to hang out, indoors and out. Games available in the lower level were a hit. Great screened in porch with gas logs was perfect for a late fall weekend. The dock was inviting and I can imagine a summer week here would be fantastic but water was too cold in November. I would rate this property in my top 3 VRBO stays. Extras like black make up cloths in the bathrooms, coffee and K-cups at the coffee bar, and a great info sheet from the hosts that covered everything we wanted to know made our stay effortless. It’s a 5 minute drive to the stadium even on game day. If you are looking for a place to host a crowd this is the spot!

Beautiful Property!
Immaculate property located just a few minutes away from Clemson airport and less than 15 minute drive from campus. The house is even more stunning than the photos, and very well appointed with everything we needed for a terrific weekend to take in a Clemson football game. The hosts also provided very thoughtful instructions and information, and were on call if we needed anything. Many thanks for a great stay at Clemson!

About the host

Jenks and Emily have both studied, worked, and fallen in love at Clemson University. This home is a five year project to build a vacation spot that can be used every season.

Why they chose this property

This home is a five year project to build a vacation spot that can be used every season. It is a lake house, a mountain retreat, and a home base for Clemson events. There is a relaxing view of a quite cove and the Clemson Experimental Forest with Clemson University over to the right. You can hear football practice in the fall and watch crew practice in the spring. Summer is for swimming and boating off the dock. Athletic events are easy to access so you have less time in traffic and more time enjoying your day.
