About this house rental
Diamond Pointe is a private home that offers an unrivaled lake experience for family and friend gatherings. *** please note 20 guests is the limit at all times. Limited availability to guests at only 70 nights of rentals/year, then the calendar is closed. This waterfront retreat features an extremely private setting with over 1100 feet of lake frontage and no other docks in sight. Guests can spread out among 7 bedroom spaces in addition to a loft, all of which will sleep 20 total people. Guests will also have access to 6 full bathrooms and 2 full kitchens. A towering stone fireplace serves as a focal point for the main living area which is an architectural highlight. The cabin feel and handcrafted wooden features take you into the mountains while remaining lakeside. The main living area also features extensive windows and natural lighting that brings the environment into the space. The large exterior deck provides wonderful lake views from the various seating areas or from the second level hot tub. The lower level includes an expansive den with space to accommodate large groups and more external seating areas. There is also a billiards space, and a poker table area for various recreation preferences. The property features a circular driveway with space to park numerous vehicles including a full size Pickleball court.
There is a short walk with a slight grade to the private dock where you can park your own private watercraft or rent one from the house (if available) for an additional fee. The owner’s boat may be at the dock, but there is space on the other side for a rental or personal watercraft. The landing to launch a boat is right around the corner, less than 1/2 mile. Deep water and a perfectly situated property for sunrise views make this retreat among the most desirable on the lake. The property includes a kayak launch with 5 kayaks provided (3 adult, 2 child) in conjunction with the rental. Paddleboards are also available for an additional fee. In addition to being a secluded venue to enjoy the lake with your family and friends, the property is located within a protected shoreline area as defined by the Army Corps of Engineers including its designation as a bird sanctuary. As such, experienced birdwatchers as well as those that just enjoy the sounds of nature will find the area quite pleasant and natural. Local fishing charters are available. Not only is fishing and recreation on Lake Hartwell unmatched during the summer, the lake is also ranked as one of the top winter fishing destinations in the country (https://fishingbooker.com/blog/winter-fishing-destinations/). Guests travel only 23 miles to and from Clemson Football games and graduations while avoiding the main thoroughfares. This amazing home is easily accessible from I85 (Exit 4).
***Please note that pets are strictly NOT permitted at this facility.
WiFi available is via satellite (Starlink). The signal is strong and reliable.
Diamond Pointe is privately owned and managed. We (owners/property managers) may be residing in a separate guest house on the grounds for at least a portion of your visit. The guest house is not connected to the main house in which you will be residing.

Shawn was a great host and the property exceeded expectations. She let us check in early (again sorry about that), we rented the boat, and had a blast. The house is massive, clean and very accommodating. Highly recommend. Will likely stay again.

Absolutely amazing property with breathtaking sunrises over the lake.
Great layout that allows for a large group to comfortably gather in the “public” areas and privacy and quiet for those individuals who may want to step away for a bit of solitude.
The hosts were great and balanced perfectly the availability of being nearby with not hovering .
Property very accurately described in listing.Highly recommend

What a wonderful home and welcoming hosts and being able to rent the pontoon was an added plus. We loved the calm water where the dock is located, as floating in late afternoon is a joy. Also, the home is wonderfully appointed with many nice seating areas, inside and out. Our family does a lake vacation every year and this is the only review I've ever written, but it deserves highest marks in all categories and a rave review!

This could not have been any better! My husband and I with our 5 daughters and their families had so much personal space as well as a super fun vacation together! The perfect spot on the lake, lots of fun water toys and not one child EVER uttered “I’m bored!” We plan to make this be our family place!!

The house itself is fantastic, plenty of space, well stocked with everything you might need and fantastic Wifi. In addition they have so many kayaks to use and we rented their pontoon boat which also was so convenient and a great boat. But beyond the house and all of the amazing amenities, the owners/hosts are fantastic. They reply very quickly about any question you might have, they are super friendly and amazingly helpful. I cannot say enough great things about them!

This home was very well cared for, so clean, and cheerily decorated for the Fall season. Everything was ready for us to move in. The common spaces were very spacious. The area was very quiet and we saw lots of meteor showers at night.

This place is everything like the pictures and more. Feels like you have no neighbors at all. Directly on the lake. Easy communication with a responsive host that is very accommodating. I would love to come and stay again as soon as possible.

This was a 4th annual birthday & bestie trip. This property is by far one of the best ones my friends and I have stayed at. We absolutely loved it and renting the boat that was available was a MUST DO!
Thank you Shawn & Dave!!

This was a perfect lake house for our family. It was so spacious and attractive while still being comfortable and homey. Renting the boat was a great decisions. It went out at least twice a day. All the thoughtful details made us feel welcome.

Fun in the sun
Rented the house and boat for a week of family fun. The house was beautiful with a wonderful quiet location on the lake. Tons of room for our group of 15. I would recommend this house and host to anyone looking for a wonderful time on the lake.

Great family vacation
I have mixed emotions writing reviews for great properties since I fear they will be unavailable for return trips. But this home and these hosts deserve the praise. Great house for our three generation annual vacation. Plenty of room for us to spread out. Great uncrowned cove for swimming. We have been taking our family vacations for over 10 years and rarely return but hope to return to this property.

Carlton Family Vacation at Diamond Point
We’ll, believe what you see and then some. We had 18 of family during a week of vacation on Lake Hartwell. This property was incredible. We needed at least 5 bedrooms for each of the married couples plus all of the other multiple age grandchildren. It was perfect. Plenty of room to spread out and yet feel connected.
The hosts were very personable and quick to respond to any question or issue that came up with our large group.
Book your stay here. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic Fall Weekend
The house was perfect for our reunion weekend with old college friends. Easy drive to Clemson. The property has everything one could need - well appointed kitchen, amazing great room with plenty of seating, great views from the deck, video game, pool table and more. Shawn was super responsive and helpful with our questions and even managed to locate a pair of eyeglasses that one of our party left behind. We would certainly stay here again.

Amazing long weekend!
We were completely thrilled with our stay at Diamond Pointe! The home is beautiful and the lake view was breath taking! You can venture out and enjoy neighboring cities and many wonderful restaurants! (Greenville, Clemson, Anderson and Hartwell are all less than 30 minutes away) or you can relax and enjoy the amenities of this amazing home and never leave the property! We will definitely return and this time bring our boat!

Beautiful Home
We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday and had several of our closest friends join us. The home is a great place to build memories. My favorite part of the home is the open living/kitchen area. The owners were great in working with me to surprise the birthday girl. Many thanks to them and we will be back!

Awesome lake views!
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake home. There were 5 families with kids from 2 to 16 years of age. Kids were swimming, kayaking (owners provided that); adults enjoyed the views from the balcony and an easy access to the dock (we brought our boat).
Huge great room with the cathedral ceiling and a gorgeous chandelier was breathtaking!
The property offers plenty privacy, no immediate neighbors.
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your awesome property!

Diamond Pointe was PERFECT!!!
We had four families together from all around the country and Diamond Pointe was perfect for us all! We really loved the outdoor space, especially the kayaks, the dock, and the lily pad. The location was close enough to conveniences, but secluded enough to feel completely private. The owners went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating! There was plenty of space to spread out separately, and also wonderful shared space for coming together as a group. We would recommend Diamond Pointe to allow of our friends!!!

Fair Play Gem
The accommodations are fantastic and can host a large group of 15 to 20 easily, which we had. All the amenities you would need are there and made the stay super convenient. The property managers communicated well and took care of all our requests. All that stayed kept repeating how nice the house was. Its close to Anderson and Seneca and it is located right on Lake Hartwell. The views from the back of the house are incredible. We would definitely go back.
