Lake Hartwell house, family friendly near Clemson.

Relax and adventure with the whole family at this peaceful home where you will find more than a place to stay the night. Explore the cove with our paddleboards & kayaks, enjoy a game of cornhole, ping pong or arcade basketball in our game room, enjoy beautiful lake views from the wrap around deck and direct access into the cove, and finish the night stargazing by the firepit. You are sure to make lasting memories at our family-friendly cottage nestled in a quiet, wooded lakeside community.

Portman Paradise offers plenty of outdoor space on the amazing wrap around deck that overlooks a serene, natural lot and lakeshore. Grill some lunch and enjoy the outdoor seating for 12.
We provide two paddle boards and three kayaks with life jackets at this property to explore the cove. Adult and kid sized vests are available for your convenience.

Launch a kayak or paddleboard from the walk-in lake access (no dock) available from a shared peak on the shore, down a natural path. Check out the game room where you will find ping pong, corn hole, and arcade basketball!! This is the perfect space to enjoy if it happens to rain during your vacation!

If you'd rather spend your day inside, you'll find the updated interior comfortable, calm, spotlessly clean, and stocked with plenty of things to do! There are board games, cards, books, and, of course, smart tv's throughout the house with cable, Netflix and Disney+.

The upstairs loft bedroom provides beautiful lake views and natural light. This private suite is equipped with a queen bed, couch and television, private bathroom, walk-in closet. Outside the bedroom door there is a nook with a bonus twin bed. This nook is only semi private as it does not have a door. The second bedroom offers a private sliding door to the deck overlooking the lake, a television and king bed, as well as a private entry to the downstairs bathroom. The third bedroom is set up with a queen bed. The living room sofa pulls out to a queen mattress. All linens and pillows are provided, including a set for the sleeper-sofa.

If you want a little quiet time to read a book or gaze out the window, you can lounge in the loft on an extremely comfortable oversized beanbag, perfect for a midday nap.

The driveway has parking for 4 vehicles, but please note that the driveway is steep. The driveway is narrower at the top by the road and widens closer to the house, with an additional gravel area to provide more space. Please be mindful of neighbors' vehicles when entering and exiting the driveway. It is often easier to back into the driveway.
