About this property

Lake Hartwell Lakefront Cabin w/ Private Dock | 4BR/4BA Family Getaway


Welcome to our inviting Lake Hartwell retreat, a cozy lakefront house with a covered dock that offers a serene escape for your next vacation. Nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Hartwell, our vacation rental is situated in a wide cove overlooking the Tugaloo main channel, marked by buoy marker T60A on the lake. Whether you bring your own boat or decide to rent one from the nearby marina, you're in for a world of fun, from tubing and water skiing to swimming and relaxing on the lake.

Our property is well-equipped with modern amenities, including high-speed internet and four TVs with YouTube TV for your entertainment. The large covered porch extends across the entire length of the house, creating the sensation of being in a treehouse, where you can gaze out over a wooded lot and the serene lake. Additionally, we offer a wonderful patio with a fire pit, perfect for evenings filled with s'mores and memorable conversations. A paved path, while steep in one section, provides a workout on your way down to the covered dock with a convenient ladder for swimming.

Inside, our spacious home boasts 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, with room to comfortably accommodate your group. On the main level, you'll find a master suite with a king-size bed, a jet tub, and a separate shower for your relaxation. Bedroom #2 features two sets of bunk beds and a separate bath/shower combination. The kitchen and a small seating area are also on this level, as well as a washer and dryer for your convenience. Step outside to the beautiful porch, equipped with new furniture, offering stunning views of the wooded lot and the lake.

The terrace level features Bedroom #3, another master with a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom/shower. Bedroom #4 offers a queen-size bed with a bathroom/shower just outside the door. The TV sitting area includes a wet bar and a mini fridge, making it a perfect space for relaxation and entertainment. The patio here also extends the entire length of the house.The fire pit is made for enjoyable evenings - it is one of our most popular features!

Parking is convenient, with space for four double-stacked cars, ensuring your comfort during your stay. Our location is a mere 6 miles from exit 1 on I-85 in South Carolina, only 90 minutes from Atlanta, 30 minutes from Clemson, and just an hour from Greenville. For those who love outdoor adventures, the nearby mountains, hiking trails, and waterfalls offer endless exploration possibilities. Plus, we provide a tandem kayak for our guests, so you can make the most of your time on the water.

Relax with your family and friends in our charming log cabin on Lake Hartwell. It's the perfect setting for creating lasting memories during your vacation.

Overall, we had a good stay. There is very little closet space for guest. Cabin could be cleaner especially porches. Cobwebs all over the front entrance and the covered porch off the kitchen. Dog food on the floor in bathroom off of master BR. When we swept down cobwebs and the floor of covered porch we found several bones on the floor. We saw 2 cockroaches in the kitchen. We were able to kill one. Cabin needs to be exterminated for bugs. If there's 2 there's more that were not seen.

Lakefront Cabin with Dock

Well stocked kitchen, games; small living and kitchen areas but large porch for family meals if you have more than two or four folks. Very steep path to dock but cement made it very doable for all that are decently mobile. Great communication with responsive hostess.
