About this house rental
Our beautiful lakefront home is perfect for a large family or multi-family vacation. From the moment you walk in, you will be amazed by the view! Our spacious home is spread over two floors and includes 4 bedrooms each with its own bathroom and lake view. The main floor encompasses a spacious open concept kitchen, dining and living area with a wood burning fireplace and large screen tv. Also, on this level are two of the four bedrooms (1 king, 1 Queen) with individual bathrooms. All these rooms open onto a large screened porch that runs the length of main level and includes its own television.
The lower floor includes an additional living area with fireplace, big screen television and kitchenette. This level provides two bedrooms with attached bathrooms (1 King, 1 Queen). Walk out the glass doors to a large covered area, additional seating and a gas fire pit. Follow the decked path down a short distance to our covered dock with single boat slip.
We are just 20 minutes from Seneca for shopping and dining, 30 minutes from Clemson (great for football weekends) and Anderson, and 90 minutes from Atlanta. Harbor Light Marina offers boat rentals and is approximately 3.5 miles by water and 10 miles by car. If you enjoy golf, the Chickasaw Point 18-hole course is less than 15 minutes away.
For those who have a larger party, we have a second home (VRBO #858455) and we offer a discount when renting both. The two homes are separated by 5 other homes, making it easy to walk back and forth.

Our Happy Place II is an amazing property. The beds were so comfortable and the layout fit our two families to perfection. The downstairs area with the games was great for our teenagers and young adults. We will be back.

This is the 3rd year myself, friends and family have stayed at one of Debra & Ron’s properties. Each year is just as nice as the previous. Very lovely owners to deal with who answer any an all questions and go out of their way to make the guests feel very welcome. The property itself is fantastic and has everything you could possibly need. We look forward to returning again! Thanks

This review is late but absolutely necessary. We had a fantastic time here. The layout of this house is PERFECT! It was just two couples but this layout would be perfect for two couples with kids or four couples. The common areas are very comfortable and have everything you could need to keep busy for adults and kids. There were indoor and outdoor games.
The outdoor propane fire pit was perfect for gathering in the evening. The outdoor swing was one of the most comfortable places I have ever been (I am trying to talk my husband into building one for my back yard). We enjoyed the dock as well.
The location was perfect - on a point. The way the house is designed - when you sit out back, you feel like you are the only house in the area. It’s just gorgeous and the views of the sunset are beautiful.
Thank you again SO much for sharing your piece of heaven with us! We had a fabulous time!

The lake views and the water against the rocks in the evening were so relaxing. We totally enjoyed our stay!

We recently stayed at this property for the third time and it has always been perfect. The house is clean and has a great setup for multiple couples with each bedroom having a full bath. Fishing is great off the dock and the 35 minute ride to Clemson isn’t bad either. Looking forward to another stay!

Our stay at the Lake House was fantastic. Having the 2 levels made it nice for our son and his young family. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Enjoyed the outdoor furnitures and the view was awesome. The steps to the lake was easy walking and not very steep. Having no water equipment was a little inconvenient. Other than that all was great! We would stay there again.

We had a great long weekend staying on Lake Hartwell for Labor Day. It happened to be the start of football season. There was a TV for every game and lot of space to watch! The boys had TVs on with football upstairs and my daughter and I had a movie on downstairs! I love that every room has its own bathroom. The outdoor space is phenominal. Next year we are definitely going to rent a boat, though!

We stayed here for a week while moving our daughter into her new place for her senior year at Clemson. We did this before at a sister property which was amazing too! Not only did we move her in with ease and no stress, we also spent more time with her at this wonderful property enjoying all the amenities it had to offer! We fished, went tubing, and enjoyed the marina life, with our rented pontoon boat that we easily docked at the house, which by the way gave us the best views and sunset pictures. The house was decorated beautifully, was super clean and spacious which allowed us to entertain like we were at our own home. The owner was super accommodating and was easily available if needed. Our family members said it was one of the best vacations they have ever had and want to make it a tradition. We highly recommend!!!

The property is well maintained and the hosts were absolutely awesome. Very responsive and genuinely concerned that you enjoy your stay. The property is well appointed from having quality small appliances(such as a Kitchen Aid stand mixer) to provided beach towels and toiletries if you forgot them. The screened in porch was great. Even though there is a TV out there, you won’t need it with all there is to do. Very nice to have a second full size fridge and the two separate living areas. The big gas grill was awesome and a second tank was provided. Truly everything was thought of. Will look to visit this house again.
Thank you for helping create memories!

This was our 4th year staying in a property owned by this family (3rd year in this one). Both had everything we could possibly need and we loved the lake access. We definitely will be back!

We had a wonderful time at the home! Each bedroom having its own bathroom worked out perfectly. It was also great for our family (grandparents and aunt/niece) to gather in the common area for games and meals. The upstairs screen porch also provided a beautiful view of the lake and was a nice place to relax. Our daughter and her friends enjoyed time on the dock and we were able to rent a boat for the day based on the owner's recommendation. The home was clean, looked just like the pictures and had everything we needed. Thank you for a great gathering place for our family to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Clemson!

Very impressed and was perfect set up for our family, very clean, well furnished and liked the Christmas tree provided by the hosts. We were not disappointed in any way…only negative was coffee pot carafe was not the right for the drip coffee pot, caused an overflow but we improvised..

We spent Thanksgiving there and enjoyed morning coffee on the screened porch overlooking the porch, cooked a huge meal in the well equipped kitchen, and afterwards the boys watched football while the girls watched a movie in our separate living rooms. Plenty of space for a big family, nice furnishings, and very neat and clean.

This was our second stay at the house for a Clemson tailgate weekend. The house works perfectly for our group with 4 couples and 4 bedrooms with separate baths. The house is also amazingly kept and has all the amenities you could need. The catfish were biting right off of the dock, which for a group that loves to fish was a huge bonus. I see no reason not to return next year!

This house was perfect for us Clemson parents visiting our kids. The floor plan and updates are wonderful. We were very comfortable. We appreciated the extras that were there like paper towels, spices, and extra blankets. That was so helpful to have. We will definitely love to stay here again.

The view is fantastic from the verandas and there is so much open space inside between the 2 bedrooms on each floor.
It is obvious the owners put a lot of love and care into this place.

Our Happy Place is truly that. This is the second year we have rented this house. Four bedrooms and 4 bathrooms is perfect for our group of 8. Two king beds and 2 queen beds. The views are breathtaking. A very peaceful retreat.

The description of this place is spot on! Kitchen is well stocked, great family spaces, bedrooms were comfy with attached bathrooms that worked out great… but the lake/views were everything! We floated by the dock every day (water is deeper around the dock), watched the sunset on the days it didn’t rain and waves to boats as they passed by. Amazing! Thank you for the stay— we’re already talking about booking our next stay!

This was by far the best vacation home we have ever stayed at! The house was clean, well stocked, well laid out and fun! Our children loved having family game night every night! It’s close to the boat ramp and has a wonderful lake view! We will definitely be staying here again!

Excellent lake front property
This property and location exceeded our expectations! With 2 boat ramps close by, we had no issues getting our boat to the house by lake. The location was so convenient to some great restaurants (herschberger’s bakery is a must!).
The home was perfect! We couldn’t believe the space we had. Our boys stayed in the lower level and my husband and I stayed on main floor. We enjoyed coffee every single morning on the screened porch listening to the morning boat riders go by. And enjoyed late evenings out there as well! The walking path to the dock was easy and at night the lighted path helped in the dark. Beds were cozy and we stayed nice and cool at night. I could go on and on!! We will definitely rent again next year!

Great house
We have stayed at this house twice and it had been perfect for our annual family vacation on Lake Hartwell. Close to the marina, gas station/convenience store, great bbq restaurant, pizza place, and liquor store. The owners are very easy to work with and the house is perfect!

Best one yet
We have stayed at over a dozen different lake properties. Best one yet. House is great layout for families, dock with slip works good for boat. Best thing though is the back porch. House was clean and well appointed. Owner was very helpful. Cannot go wrong with this one.
