Escape to Greens Cay on Lake Hartwell – Your Ultimate Waterfront Haven

Whether you are planning a multi-generational family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a game-day weekend near Clemson or UGA, Greens Cay offers the perfect blend of relaxation and lakefront adventure. Fully remodeled and designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, offers a dock in deep water (no drought issues here!)—and yes, your four-legged family members are warmly welcome!

✨ The Spaces You’ll Love
The Main Level: Features an open-concept layout with zero-entry access, perfect for everyone in your group. It boasts a fully equipped kitchen, two separate living areas (each with smart TVs and sleeper sofas), two queen bedrooms, and a full bathroom with walk-in shower. There is even a warm-water dog rinse station to clean off your pups after a day in the lake!

The Lower Level Oasis: Accessed via a separate exterior entrance for ultimate privacy, the finished basement features two sleeping areas (one queen bedroom and one two-twin bedroom) alongside a beautifully remodeled full bathroom with walk-in shower. Please note: guests pass through the queen area to access the bathroom.

The Outdoor Paradise: Step out onto the oversized, half-covered deck—the crown jewel of the property. Complete with a large propane grill, a plush sectional couch, and an outdoor dining setup, it is the ultimate spot for al fresco dining against a backdrop of panoramic, deep-water views.

⚓ Endless Lakefront Fun
Forget loading up the car; the best of Lake Hartwell is right in your backyard. A gently sloping, paved, and illuminated walkway leads you straight to the water, where you will find:

A private, single-slip deep-water dock (perfect for tying up your own boat or a local rental--happy to provide recommendations for rentals). **We have no drought issues in our location.**

Complimentary kayaks and a paddleboard for exploring the pristine waters.

A private beach area with a shoreline fire pit, perfect for evening s'mores under the stars.

A cozy lakeside swing and lounge chairs for soaking up the sun.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

We are Dan and Michelle Garland and we love our lake/beach properties that we manage (with our good friend and co-host Megan) as Garlands Getaways. Our tightknit family of 6 (+1 furry family member) lives in NE Atlanta and includes kids that range from high school to post-college plus two fun-loving parents who believe life by the water makes life in general better.

Why they chose this property

We love our home on Hartwell and had the chance to buy this one just two doors down. We spent a year remodeling and upgrading it ourselves and now believe it to be one of the best options on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the stunning view and long line of waterfront from our array of windows or from the uncovered deck or covered section. A sizeable beach area plus a single slip dock on deep water allows you to enjoy the best of the lake.
