Perfect house and lake access
Every year we get the same group of friends together for a lake weekend and out of all the other years this home was by far our favorite! Plenty of beds for everyone and the lake was perfect. We floated all day by the dock and the water is so clean!

Family vacation 2021
We enjoyed the house and had a great time! The only thing to improve would be to have dresser and closet space for guests in the bedrooms in addition to space in the kitchen cabinets for guest use. The dock is a great asset to the property!

Yearly July 4th Family Vacation 2021
We enjoyed our stay a little stressfull but good the boat dock was unkept it was nasty full of spider webs and spiders... A screw was sticking out of dock in front of boat area 1 of the children tore their foot on this... needing a lot of attention... When we arrived the neighbors was having a party using the boat docking area stating the owners told them nobody was renting the home and they could use it but they did remove the boats... the Golf carts I know was an added bouns... but they would not charge We had to push them back up the hill 2 times so didnt get to use them on the steep climb up the hill.. The shower curtain in the main bathbroom was mildewed... . dont think we would rent this again.. it was roomy for our family ... and we did enjoy the Lake....

Great weekend at the lake
House was great! Great location, clean and just as advertised. Dock was wonderful. Deep water and lights for night fishing. The golf cart was not operational while we were there which was unfortunate for our elderly family. Repair attempts were made while we were there and that was greatly appreciated, but were unfortunately unsuccessful. Overall, it was a great weekend.

Great family getaway
We have stayed at this property multiple times. Always a wonderful trip. The house is always very clean, and lake access good. Great dock to hangout and swim from or to bring a boat along. Would definitely recommend!

Mostly Awesome
House was beautiful and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The basement patio was wonderful to sit and relax. Very cool in 95 degree heat. Our only complaint was the STEEP and long walkway to the dock. There were supposed to be 2 golf carts but there was only one and it didn't work. The owner tried to repair it but it didn't help. The kids and grandkids had a great time but my husband and I couldn't get to the dock to enjoy it. Highly recommended for people who are able to walk and climb hills.

Lovely Home with Easy Lake Access
We greatly enjoyed our stay the first weekend of June. The property was exactly as advertised and there was more than enough room to accommodate our 12 person group, including parking for multiple cars. The home has the feel of visiting relatives you distantly know. The kitchen is well stocked to meet cooking needs, the beds are comfortable, and lake access is a short walk along a concrete path. The deep-water dock is a wonderful place to watch the sunset. We highly recommend this destination for enjoying Lake Hartwell.

4th of July week at the lake
I am so pleased with everything about our stay. Communication with the owners was great from the start. We had a large group, with over half of them young children, and found every part of the home extremely accommodating from the play areas to the boat dock and the location on the lake, everthing was perfect. Thank you so much and I hope to stay again.
