About this property

Peaceful 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom lake front cabin with 2 porches for relaxing.

Allow the stress to roll off your back as you step inside the five-bedroom log cabin nestled in a wooded peaceful cove. You'll be greeted by the warm embrace of the upstairs living area. Indulge in the convenience of a fully furnished kitchen, complete with all the necessary appliances to craft delectable meals. Enjoy your culinary creations at the quaint dining table, surrounded by the comforts of home. When it's time to unwind, sink into the plush seating in the living room and lose yourself in the latest shows on the smart TV OR venture outside and relax in the swing on the back porch.

Just down the (exterior) stairs from the back deck (no interior access) you will find an additional living space in the newly finished basement which is a perfect cozy and modern environment to challenge your companions to a lively game or a peaceful jigsaw puzzle. The kitchenette will provide amenities for making coffee or snacks with access to a refrigerator and a microwave, in addition to the coffee station.

For those seeking adventure, a short walk will lead you to a partially covered dock where you can enjoy the enchanting waters by floating or kayaking. There is access for you to tie off your personal boat also. A fire ring area is great for making smores or just sharing fireside conversation.

The swing on the front porch provides an opportunity to hear the cows in the pasture across the street. Simply walking to the top of the driveway can provide you an opportunity to enjoy a close up look. They are as curious about passerby's as we are about them, so enjoy a rare moment!

A 24-minute drive will lead you to the Lake Hartwell State Park or Tugaloo State Park is accessible by boat or a short drive. Downtown Lavonia provides charming dining and shopping experiences.

With amenities like Wi-Fi, a washing machine and dryer (both upstairs and downstairs), and a travel crib, this cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, ensuring an unforgettable vacation experience.

There is ample parking for multiple vehicles and easy in/out access for boat trailers with the horseshoe shaped driveway. Access to the home is given via a unique digital code that expires on your last day, and there are two outdoor cameras to ensure the area is secure.

The cabin was cozy, beautifully decorated and had every amenity we could want. Our family really enjoyed our stay. My one note is that the basement cannot be accessed from the main living space upstairs. One must go outside, onto the back deck, to take stairs downstairs & then enter into the basement. Although both upper & lower decks are covered & screened in, so this is not an unpleasant setup, this was very complicated for us because we have 4 young children and we could not utilize the bedrooms downstairs unless one adult slept upstairs & another adult slept downstairs. I think parents with young children need to know this detail before deciding to rent the house. This detail was shared with us when check-in information was sent, after we had already booked & paid. Please add this detail to the main information on the listing. It is a beautiful property!

We had a nice, relaxing Christmas vacation with the kids and grandkids. The view of the lake was amazing, and the covered back deck was a plus! The newly renovated downstairs basement was nice also with plenty of rooms and beds. The basement does not have central heat/ air, so it’s a good thing that the weather wasn’t too cold. The refrigerator upstairs had a water leak from the bottom, but we just placed a towel there several times during our stay. Maybe the owners should think about buying an air fryer as well. Overall though my family enjoyed it.

This is an amazing property. We had more than enough room for our family including 2 teenage boys and two grandmas and us. The house was clean and warm. The decor was inviting. The boys had their own space downstairs and we had a wonderful time chilling out in the back porch. The lake was great for fishing and the boys enjoyed the kayaks. Thank you for a pleasant stay. We will be back!

Owner very responsive to any needs/ questions. Large home with plenty of room to spread out and lots of beds. Best stocked VRBO have stayed in. Could use some cleaning day of on outside due to cobwebs ( but it is that time of year for orb weavers) and some garbage left lying around outside and on dock. Overall- good place to stay & would recommend

About the host

Hosted by Robert Chesser

Host profile image
We live in Marietta, GA which is less than 2 hours from our log cabin. After our first trip to Lake Hartwell for one of our daughter's birthday celebrations, we knew we wanted to have a lake house for our family to enjoy. You could say we were hooked!

When the time was right, we began our search with the help of a friend who lives in Lavonia part-time on a nearby farm. She drove by this house one day and said we HAD to check it out. Now that we have it and LOVE the space, it seemed way to precious to sit empty for so much of the year; so decided we should allow others to enjoy it as much as we do.

We have at least one annual family gathering, and come as frequently as possible. Now that the basement is fully finished, it will give us even more valuable space to enjoy many more family memory making stays in the future.

We wanted to be able to pick up and come with only needing to bring clothes and toiletries, so with the help of donations from many friends and family, we were able to fully stock the house to be our home away from home. We want everyone to feel like we are here hosting you, without us being all up in your space!

We appreciate you treating this like you would your home as well - so that others can enjoy the space as much as we hope you do, for many years to come.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood chose us! We love the simplicity of the country, and the cows across the street were an added bonus. The privacy of the cove is perfect for enjoyable water days without the worry of boats speeding by.

Is every house in the vicinity ideal - nope - but we have not met a stranger, and the neighbors have all been kind beyond our imagination. You learn to look past some of the things thanks to the kindness that shines through.

What makes this property unique

Not every lake house is a log cabin. It smells like you are going to camp every time you come through the door - a smell that we will never get tired of! It is peaceful and relaxing, with the necessities of a busy life not too far away. If you don't feel like cooking, almost any type of fast food is available within a 5 to 10 minute drive.
