Property is located on a quiet cove on a quiet street. We enjoyed the kayak, canoe and wish we had rented the pontoon boat. The fire pit was a hit! Owner has made many updates to the home including bathrooms and kitchen. New paint throughout the home was very cheerful. We enjoyed dinner at The Local Pub and Eatery located very close to property. Owner was very accommodating and we enjoyed our short stay.

Great weekend, even hooked a fish.

Walking into the house was very warm & welcoming. We rented the pontoon boat and had so much fun cruising around the lake. We cruised over to the Galley for Saturday dinner awesome food had the best strawberry cake for dessert. Great place to stay enjoyed every day there.

We loved this house and would definitely stay again. The owners were amazingly responsive to all of our needs and went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The location is on a quiet inlet of the lake, but we had great access when using the pontoon boat we rented from the owners. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and exploring the area. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We would absolutely rent this house again.

The pictures represent the property well. Rented the boat as well and had a great time on the lake! Had a nice campfire. AC in the house worked great.

We really enjoyed our stay at Making Waves! The house was very clean and comfortable. We did have an issue with the kitchen sink, but we contacted the home owner and he came and repaired it within a couple of hours! My husband and 4yr grandson caught some nice fish off the dock!! We did rent the Pontoon boat from the owners and that was awesome!! We had a Great Week!!

This was a perfect lake vacation for our family. We rented the pontoon and had great time exploring Lake Hartwell. The house provided just as much fun swimming in the cove and endless foosball tournaments with the boys. The owners are very nice and easy to communicate with.

This is a cute home with lake access and a dock in a quiet area. It has a large yard leading down to the lake. We rented the pontoon boat from Troy and Renee and also made use of the brand new paddle boards. The home had everything needed for a great time on the lake! Anderson, SC is close by and offers many options for eating out for dinner. We look forward to staying again! Troy and Renee went well above and beyond as hosts!

Great rental! Booked it for a birthday weekend with all of our friends! We had a ball! Everything was exactly as stated, super convenient! We also rented the pontoon, and brought our own two jet skis for the water! Ending the night with a great fire pit session with all of our friends in the big nice yard! We will def be staying here again for our getaways!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute waterfront home. Highly recommend renting the pontoon boat during your stay. We were on the lake all 3 days of our stay. We were able to make our lunch and enjoy it at one of the private island beaches located around the lake. The evenings were spent relaxing. We had dinner out one night and the town is a short distance away. There are also several marinas in the area that were fun to visit. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We'd stay here again.

This home is nicely appointed with everything needed to stay comfortably and to enjoy the beautiful lake. The home was exceptionally clean upon arrival. The beds are comfortable with ample linens for the bath. The kitchen has nothing missing as well. There’s a gas grill and a charcoal grill for your needs. It’s a short walk to the dock and beautiful views from the very quiet slough. The air conditioning worked perfectly for our stay. I would recommend this home for your stay, and I will return if the opportunity arises. The renter was very responsive prior to check in. There were no issues during our 4 day stay, so thankfully we did not find it necessary to have problems resolved. I give my recommendation that this is a GREAT property to stay in during a trip to Lake Hartwell.

Beautiful spot. Comfortable house. Owners very kind, generous, and responsive.

Number one priority for us, cleanliness. House was very clean, great location to stores, state parks, boat launch and a short walk to the boat dock. Owners were very responsive, would recommend and stay again.

The house, location and the Pontoon Boat access all worked out perfectly for our Family. We were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the lake during the day and watch the weigh in at Green Pond later in the afternoon. We couldn't have asked for a better setup for our situation.

Our family of three had a wonderful stay at the house. It has everything you need to feel comfortable but allows you to unplug from the busy lifestyle. Breakfast at the beautiful deck and s’mores at the fire pit were included in our daily routine. We rented the pontoon boat for a week which made the experience extra special. Our 6-year old appreciated the fussball table. Communication with the hosts was great! Overall, amazing experience, and we would definitely come back.

Our family of four had a wonderful time at this Lake Hartwell property. We took full advantage of everything it had to offer! We rented the pontoon boat, fished, made Smores, barbecued, played foosball, played lots of Uno, swam and floated around in the lake A LOT! The house and property is just as listed, and we couldn't have asked for much more. The only thing I could've wished for was being able to stay a little longer!

House was fairly clean, It is an older house and it shows not much done in the way of up keep. I expected their to be power to the dock. and when I called to inquire about it was late the next day before we got a response. The hot water heater failed one day, was able to locate and reset a circuit breaker and it worked. Family and friends made the stay and expectations were not to high.

The property was great!! The owners, Renee and Troy, were absolutely great to deal with. Very accommodating! We rented their boat and had a great day on the lake. We would definitely rent from them again.

Overall a good stay. Owner was very responsive with questions about the property. Super convenient location to the boat ramps we needed for our bass fishing tournament. The interior of the house could use some more lighting. Beds were very comfortable! Driveway entrance is steep and narrow if you are backing in a boat.

Lovely lakefront property on Hardwell lake. We rented the owners pontoon boat for our entire stay and took wonderful boat rides on the lake every day. Lovely lakefront property on Hardwell lake.

The property is in a great location for land or water activities. We boated to Clemson Marina to have lunch at the Grill. Awesome view while eating; DEATH VALLEY home of the 2018 College Football Champion Clemson Tigers...

We took our children (5:11-20) here for a family week together. We had the best time! It’s not often you go somewhere that all Of them agree and have a blast! Loved it so much now looking for something nearby. We enjoyed several nights around the fire pit after a sunset cruise . Life is better at the lake and thank you so much for a fabulous experience! The beds were comfy, house clean, dock with boats and kayaks ... can’t ask for more.

We enjoyed our stay - the lake front property is very convenient. The house is well stocked, the beds are comfy. There were a few upkeep issues that needed to be addressed.

house worked perfect for our daughters wedding weekend we had this house as well as another and everything was perfect the owners were very helpful with the house and the boat thank you for letting us stay in your lake house

We spent a week at this house and had a very nice time. Located right on the water and in a quite location. The owners were very nice and answered any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone

Great dock in secluded cove. Nice yard and raised deck. House was bright and very clean. Kids loved the foosball table.

We spent three nights at Making Waves in February, 2019. It was the perfect place to celebrate our son's 16th birthday with 6 of his friends. The property offers a variety of activities to socialize and spend time together. Our group took advantage of all of them: fishing off the dock, using the fire pit, playing football in the yard, watching TV, playing Foosball, even taking a dip in the water! We also rented the pontoon boat and enjoyed it thoroughly even though it was cool and cloudy some of the time. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. Renee and Troy were available to answer questions we had during our stay, and always replied to our texts quickly. It was a fun four days with no problems or disappointments. We are already talking about a return trip!

Loved being by the lake. Deck was wonderful and beds were comfortable.

House comfortably accommodated the group of 6 of us while we were in South Carolina for a regatta on Lake Hartwell. Washer/Dryer and ice machine were awesome amenities for our needs. Beds were all very comfortable. Had to contact the property owner regarding one issue during our stay and they got back to us promptly and resolved it. Would definitely stay there again!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Makin’ Waves in Anderson, South Carolina. The owners were great. The house had everything we needed and we really enjoyed the pontoon boat. Our family had the best time hanging out on the dock, swimming and kayaking in the cove. The beds were very comfortable and the house had all the comforts of home. Great vacation, great place!

Makin Waves is the ideal place for family fun.Great place!!
