“Pool is large and clean...House was clean and beds were comfortable. House was stocked! Towels, soaps, games, puzzles, TP, paper towels, kitchen essentials, detergents, pool floats, life jackets, etc. You name it, they have it. Just pack your belongings and food.” - Trisha

“Ellen was a wonderful host! She was very quick to answer any questions we had while making our reservations, and after we checked in, she was quick with an answer to a question we had.” - Jason

“...had a blast swimming in the pool, jumping off the dock into the lake, fishing, and more. We didn’t want to leave! We had everything we needed and more.” Rita

Wonderful place for a respite for the two of us and our pup. We loved the decks and bucolic setting with the dense southern forest towering over the sparkling lake and crystal clean pool. The chairs and beds were comfy and welcome after a swim or a hike. Too much to do. We'll have to come back!

Hartwell Getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay. This home is so comfortable. They had everything we could possibly need. We had coffee in the mornings on the deck and it was so quiet and peaceful. We went out on the lake in the paddle- boat a few times and really enjoyed ourselves. We took an excursion to Toccoa Falls, it is a really beautiful place to see! We would love to come back in the future!

Peaceful and Serene

Perhaps one of the most relaxing and enjoyable getaways our family has had in quite a while - which included my wife and I along with son and daughter-in-law. The pool and surrounding deck makes this a very special property, as there is plenty of room for sunning and swimming, as well as sitting under the beautiful hardwood trees to read a book. The house itself is very comfortable and accessorized with features you will find to make it feel like home, such as well appointed kitchen and bathrooms, extra pool towels, and so forth. We are already talking to other friends and family members about our next stay at this Lake Hartwell hideaway.

Don’t miss out on this amazing lake house!

Our group included 5 adults (family & friends), one infant, and one dog. There was more than enough space and amenities for everyone to be comfortable and enjoy! The pool is a HUGE perk - we stayed in it for a large part of our stay. We were able to prepare several meals in the well-stocked kitchen. And we used the dock for our own boat. The house is very child-friendly and decorated nicely. We felt it was extremely clean and exceeded all our expectations! Communication was great before and during. We would book again in a heartbeat (and hope to next summer!).

Great Stay

Had a great stay! The pool is very nice and was probably the highlight of our trip! Nice, covered dock was a huge plus for our pontoon! The house was supplied well with the neccessities, towels, rags, trash bags, dishwasher pods...etc For pontoon owners, the driveway is a no go. I tried to make it work, just was unable to without using the yard. This may work for single axle or smaller boat trailers, but not for my tandem pontoon trailer. Thankfully, the very nice folks at Tugaloo State Park allowed me to park it in their parking lot behind their office during our stay. A minor inconvenience for an otherwise great stay! Just a forewarning so future guests are prepared, not a negative review on the property! Would stay again!

Best stay on Lake Hartwell!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Oasis! The place was spotless! All the beds were extremely comfortable and those sheets felt like I was in an expensive hotel. Plenty of room for my family of four along with my parents and two dogs. I really appreciated having enough towels, toilet paper, paper towels, etc for our stay! Thank you for having beach towels as I forgot to bring ours. Temperatures were 99 degrees outside but the air conditioning kept the house cool and comfortable the entire time of our stay. The pool was where we spent most our time and we loved having the tv outside to listen to music or watch a movie at night. Our boys enjoyed taking the row boat and paddle boat out for a cruise in the evenings while the older adults played cards and games. My grandmother had a table just like the one that is in the kitchen so that was a nice surprise for my mom and I as we would drink our coffee there and reminisce. My father enjoyed the record player and the big tv in the living room. My husband was thankful for the excellent WiFi connection and desk with a view as he had to work a bit while we were there. Ellen and Kirk thought of everything and were very quick to respond when I had any questions. We would definitely love to stay here again when we visit Lake Hartwell!

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Brandt

Host profile image
Welcome! We’re Kirk & Ellen. We live in Rock Hill, SC and have always dreamed of having lakefront property. We love to get away and relax in our cozy hideaway! We are so happy to share our little slice of lakeside paradise with you.

Why they chose this property

We love our cozy and quiet cove with a large lake area to play in! The views are magnificent from the bay windows in the kitchen and bedroom, from the deck on the back of the home and from the dock on the water.

What makes this property unique

Our property is one of a kind with a large, private salt water pool. I always say, "The pool is for those who like to look at the lake, but not swim in it!" Haha! The pool has a shaded side and a sunny side, so there is room for everyone!
