The property is beautiful and the home was extremely clean. It was easy for my children to get Ubers to and from downtown Clemson University, even late at night. We came down for the week to enjoy two football games and the stay couldn’t have been more perfect!

Well appointed lakefront home. Lots of space for the entire family. Enjoyed the dock and swimming and fishing in the lake.

We really enjoyed our time at the lake. The house was great-, but my one suggestion would be to add another fridge- for our large group and a week's stay, another fridge would have been helpful for drinks...The house is big and easily accommodated our group of 14. And the dock was the perfect place to play, swim, paddleboard...Great vacay at the lake.

Had a wonderful week on Lake Hartwell at this property. Two adults and three kids, and we all had a blast. The house is spacious with plenty of room, and very kid friendly. Jeff was very responsive to a couple questions we had.
We would definitely stay here again!

The owners answered any questions promptly, I asked them for an earlier check in because we flew in red eye, Jeff got right back to me and had no problem with us checking int early. Everything was perfect! So much room in the house and we enjoyed sitting on the deck daily. There was 3 couples and my adult son staying at the house 5 days 4 nights

What a beautiful home! This home was perfect for our stay and had everything we needed. Even in the rain, we enjoyed playing the board games. The lake view and access is amazing, and the home was very well stocked. Close to Seneca and Clemson for any shopping/entertainment needs. We will be back!

The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful. Proximity to Clemson is perfect for visiting your student and going to the game. Kitchen is very well equipped and there are plenty of towels for guests - 2 things that some rentals fall short out.
We will be back!

Wonderful house for a big family!
Let me start by saying we have been renting houses through VRBO for over 15 years. This was one of the best experiences from booking to check out that we have ever had. The house is beautifully decorated, very well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen. Plenty of pots, pans, silverware, plates, bowl, storage containers, you name it. Only thing we are used to having is a pantry to put food in but we made due with the areas we could find. Two tables with room enough for 14 to sit and eat. The open space with 2 sitting areas was awesome. Whoever was in the kitchen could still be in the mix for conversation!
The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable beds. While we brought our own, there are even beach towels to use.
The dock was perfect! The steps in and out of the water are angled which makes entry and exit so much easier when enjoying the lake. And wow so much seating everywhere, inside and out including the porch, dock and fire pit.
Our ages ranged from 1 to 80 and everyone was able to enjoy the house and the water. The walk to the dock is paved with only a slight incline.
We did miss having a basement to "banish" the screaming kids to but it was also nice to have everyone on the same floor unless they were in their bedrooms. Having the master as well as an additional bedroom on the main floor was a bonus.
Shopping for groceries wasn't too far and we were only about 15 to 20 minutes from my Alma Mater Clemson via driving and less than 10 in our boat.
Not much of a yard for the kids to play but the dock was so nice we didn't even miss it this year.
We brought two inflatable kayaks and our boat and the cove was very quiet for using both but also close to big water for tubing.
Parking is plenty for 5 cars easy with one in garage.
We all were very happy with this house.
The owner was very quick to respond to questions and we received the most informative check in details ever!
We appreciate all the small things that showed the owners obviously care about their guests having a good time when visiting!

This home and dock provided everything needed for a family of 14. We loved the open floor plan. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The fire pit was great for a night of s’mores. Kitchen fully equipped. The dock was fabulous. Plenty of room for everyone— lots of fishing and jumping off dock with nice big ladder in a nice quiet cove. We rented a boat, kayak, and paddle board. Delivery of all three very accommodating. Jeff and Sarah very responsive to our questions. Would definitely rent again.
