About this property

Plenty of Deep Water at our Dock + Game Room, Firepit, Golf Cart + Pets welcome!

  • Escape the city hustle to a beautifully remodeled, three-level waterfront retreat designed for ultimate group fun! Nestled on 450 feet of pristine Lake Hartwell shoreline with a dock in deep water (no issues with the drought here!), this spacious 4-bedroom home comfortably sleeps up to 15 guests (and up to 3 furry friends 🐾, no size limit!).

    ❤️ Why you’ll love it:

    The Ultimate Hangout: A separate, private recreation building featuring a pool table 🎱, smart TV, and extra bunk beds—perfect for giving the adults some peace and quiet in the main house or for adults to enjoy their own fun!

    🚤 Lakefront Luxury: Cruise down to your covered, double-slip dock on the complimentary golf cart. Enjoy deep, weed-free water, private beach access 🏖️, and complimentary kayaks and a paddleboard. Bring your own boat or ask us about local motorized watercraft rentals to explore lakeside restaurants. **We have no drought issues in our location.**

    🍽️ Chef’s Kitchen & Deck: Whip up family feasts in a fully equipped kitchen with brand-new stainless appliances, then dine alfresco on the oversized deck overlooking the water.

    🛌 Bedroom/bathroom accommodations layout:

    ~ Upper level sleeps 4 in two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. A large bathroom offers a walk-in shower and separate tub.
    ~ Lower level sleeps 7 in two bedrooms--one with a queen, one with twin bunks + single twin--plus a sleeper sofa in the den area. The bathroom has a walk-in shower.
    ~ Separate game room sleeps 4: twin bunks + sleeper sofa.
    ~ We also have a half bath on the main level of the home off the living area and kitchen.

    🏈 Located under an hour from both Clemson University and UGA, it’s the perfect home base for game days, graduation weekends, or an unforgettable lakeside family reunion!

We had the best time, the house and all accommodations were beyond our expectations! The owners provide more than any other property we have stayed at through VRBO, we basically only need to bring our self’s, food and clothing. It was perfectly located close Harbor Light Marina where we launched our boat. The dock was covered which was an added bonus as we did have a heavy rain storm and it kept us and the boat from getting drenched. EXCELLENT place to stay, we will be returning.

Family time

This house was quite cozy! There were only four of us, but it could definitely accommodate many more. The place was clean and well-stocked, and the location was fantastic—right next to waterfront restaurants and Party Island. The host was very helpful with local recommendations, and the dock was perfect. We had a great stay!

Great getaway near Atlanta

The house was comfortable and well equipped. Communication made things simple. The dock is great and the kids enjoyed coming along for golf cart rides down and back on the cart path. Would definitely recommend a stay.

Family stayed at this property for my daughter’s graduation from Clemson University. Great property on Lake Hartwell. Really nice deep water dock good for fishing, swimming, and tanning. Kayaks and paddle board on property. Boat and Jet Ski rentals nearby if needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to enjoy some time on the lake!

Family Fun

Very peaceful! Very clean! Had everything we needed. The walk to the dock is nice. Enjoyed the chairs and floats at the dock. Golf cart was an added bonus. We enjoyed the kayak and having a boat slip. We had 12 adults and 1 toddler so space was a little tight but we made it work! We had a great weekend together!

Great Accommodations for Large Family

The accommodations Michelle and Dan provided were fantastic! We had an absolutely wonderful time at the lake house. The home was clean and spacious. There were so many extras included that made our stay even better (firewood, beach towels, extra blankets & pillows, water sports, just to name a few). The bonus game room was a delightful addition and made for a fun family evening. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for sharing your home and making our trip so memorable!

Great house! Great location. Quiet area, not crowded with boats and jet skis. The golf cart was soooo helpful. Plenty of sleeping space for surprise guests. The AC worked great. The kitchen was well equipped for large groups. Plan meals ahead and shop ahead. You are a long way from the store.There are tvs in every room. We loved this place and will rent again.

Exceeded our expectations!

Every aspect of this stay was 5 stars! The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful, the property was clean, well appointed, spacious, and everything it claimed in the listing. We stayed with our dog and 2 small children and the accommodations were more than enough if our party had been triple the size! The property was well maintained inside and out and even during a time when lake levels were very low, there was deep water and good fishing from the dock. Golf cart was a huge bonus as well! We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend booking your stay here as well

End of summer relaxation

We had a nice family stay at the lake before school starts again. The house was great for two generations to have our own space with two living rooms, and then being able to all gather as well. We ate most of our meals on the deck and enjoyed the ample seating on the dock. We were delighted that the kitchen was well stocked. Our one very small problem was answered soon by the owner. The house had more games than we could play. Great family relaxation time!

Weekend getaway

Our family enjoyed our stay. Beautiful clean home and property! We visit this area a couple times a year due to having family here. My brother and nieces live close and we were all able to get together at the house and have a nice visit. My only suggestion would be to have the cleaning company wipe down the outdoor furniture and sweep the porches. Everything was covered in spider webs which is understandable, but still needed done. No more hotel stays now that we found this place. We will definitely be back.

Weekend getaway for a WEDDING!!

My daughter love Hartwell and minimalism so we had her wedding at the Botanical gardens. This was her mother and my house for the weekend and we entertained the whole wedding party (10 folks) easily for dinner for a couple of evenings. Very quiet. Very well supplied. One lil family stayed an evening with us and the baby enjoyed the deck with us and the walks to the water to throw rocks. Our dogs were worn to a frazzle walking back and forth to the water. THAT WAS A BLESSING AS WELL!!! Wife already talking about another visit.

Birthday Getaway

My family and I stumbled upon this listing while frantically looking for somewhere to stay close to Clemson. We had booked another property prior to our stay; however, due to damage from hurricane Helene our plans quickly changed. About a week before our trip, I found this newly remodeled VRBO for rent that met our needs This place exceeded all of our expectations. The home is nestled on Lake Hartwell, which we had direct access to a private dock where we could launch our kayaks or enjoy the view from the dock swing. We had more than enough room for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. The pool room was a real bonus as we spent most of our time in there. Between the view, privacy, and amenities, the price was unbeatable. We look forward to renting again in the future!

Top Notch!! Amazing place to stay!

What a beautiful lake house, it was everything we had hoped for and more! The kitchen had everything we needed and the dining table was spectacular with view of the lake. If we wanted to chill out, what a comfortable living space, everyone had enough space to claim their own and the TV was BIG so you could sit anywhere and be super comfy. If you wanted to take a walk to the lake or around the property, it is beautiful, peaceful and clean. If you don’t want to walk, use the golf cart. If you wanted to have adventure, the kayaks are there to use and are in great shape. Plenty of beds and rooms for privacy. Beds were comfortable and new pillows which was a delight. Don’t forget your s’more goodies, there is a fire pit in back where you can relax with great Adirondack chairs. The owners of this house really put thought and love in this house and it shows. You will not be disappointed! We can’t wait to get back there again!!

Wonderful generational property

I had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic property for our family reunion, and it exceeded all our expectations. This place was a hit with every generation in our family. The property itself is nothing short of stunning, and its proximity to the lake made it even more special. The highlight of this property, without a doubt, was the lake dock. It was like a private oasis, complete with shade and a swing that allowed us to soak in the breathtaking lake views. Spending time there was an absolute joy, and it quickly became our go-to spot during our stay. One feature that truly stood out was the golf cart. It might seem like a small detail, but it made a significant difference in our experience. It transformed what could have been tedious trips to the lake into enjoyable adventures for the whole family. We truly made the most of our time by the lake, thanks to this thoughtful addition. In summary, this property provided the ideal backdrop for our family reunion. It combined natural beauty, convenience, and thoughtful amenities to create a memorable experience for all of us. We can't wait to return to this wonderful place for future gatherings.

A little Small

The lake location was great. The house, in general, was ok, but the kitchen lights did not work over the kitchen island. We had nine people in our family, and the kitchen was way too small. There was only one route to the kitchen from the living room. The house had been remodeled, and they put the sink in the kitchen island, which took away the area to prep meals. There is no garbage disposal in the sink. The other kitchen top had other appliances that occupied most of the space. There were a lot of spider webs and yellow jackets nested around the house. I'm not sure when the last time the outside of the house was cleaned was, but it was a challenge. For a family of 4, it would be a great vacation spot, but with 6 or 7 adults, it was a challenge with only two full bathrooms. There is an additional house with a bunk bed and bed with a pool table and refer, but no bathroom, which I thought was odd.
