About this property

Lake Hartwell cove retreat near Green Pond Landing and Portman Marina

Welcome to Our Lakefront Cottage!

This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers a serene escape right on the water. Nestled amidst lush greenery and overlooking a quite cove on Lake Hartwell, it’s the perfect getaway for families, friends, fishing and anyone seeking relaxation. The deep-water dock is great for swimming, fishing, canoeing, or just enjoying the sunshine!

Key Features:

- Private, covered Dock: Step outside to your private covered dock. Whether you’re wrapping up a day of fishing, sipping morning coffee or stargazing at night, this is the spot to be. Park your boat, launch the canoe, paddle along the shoreline, fish in the quiet cove or simply relax in the sun. Canoe, floats and noodles are provided.
- Master Suite: The master suite boasts a king-sized bed, an ensuite bathroom with double vanity and shower.
- Two Comfortable Bedrooms: These bedrooms feature a double and twin bed in each.
- The Bunkroom: Two bunkbeds makes for a perfect kids' room.
- Lake Views: Enjoy the views of the lake with a coffee on the screen porch or sunny dining nook.
- Open Floor Plan: The open floor plan creates a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas.
- Basement Bonus Room: Descend to the lower level, where you’ll find an exciting bonus room. Challenge your friends to a game of pool or aim for the bullseye on the dartboard while watching your favorite game.

After the perfect day in the sun, unwind in the evening on the screen porch with your favorite beverage in this lakefront oasis.

Note: The walk to the water is a bit steep and may be a challenge for anyone with limited mobility.

What a great little stay! Only complaint I have is that it was a little chilly so I couldn’t enjoy the lake. Plenty of space for the whole family. The host was very gracious. Would definitely go back!

Very clean and house is well laid out. Made good use of the games throughout our stay. Easy access to Clemson and Anderson Universities. Also close to a cafe and restaurant both with great food. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Great stay at the lake.

Had a great time with family at this house on lake Hartwell. Great space for getting together and hanging out. Loved fishing off the dock with the kids and playing cards at night with family. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Clemson game stay

This property was great in October! We had a great stay, plenty of room, lots of outdoor space for the kids and a game room downstairs. The owners were extremely helpful when we left a valuable item and returned it to us. .

Clemson game weekend

Nice property and would go back. They are missing fans in the bedrooms and a dishwasher but the property is nice and right on the lake with its own dock.

Great location, deep water dock, house with plenty of space & rooms. We had (5) 16 yo's that spent 99% of the time inside in the basement area, they loved it. Communication was great. A few dislikes: water pressure in all bathrooms was subpar, need a keurig (k cups are life), master bed needs mattress topper, it's very hard, the hill from house to dock is not for the unfit! The outdoor furniture on screen deck could use upgrade for comfort, as well as livingroom couch, I would suggest a sectional to make better use of the room, move game to basement or foyer. Signing in to streaming services was not user friendly, we went back home and got our Roku because we couldn't figure out how to login with hosts. Upgrade to bigger livingroom tv.
