About this property
House in 3-acre woods, YMCA walkable, Hartwell 2 min, lake 10 min, Opal Retreat
Escape to your own private woodland retreat in Hartwell—nestled on 3 peaceful, wooded acres and featuring two inviting porches and a cozy fire circle. This spacious and comfortable 2-bedroom home sleeps up to five guests (queen, full, and twin beds) and offers 2.5 bathrooms, all thoughtfully stocked with fresh linens, soaps, and shampoos. Carport and two bikes. Whether you’re visiting in summer or winter, ac and heating keep you comfortable year-round.
Opal Retreat feels wonderfully secluded, yet it’s just minutes from town and Lake Hartwell. Spend your days exploring Hartwell Lakeside Park (only 10 minutes away), walking to nearby pickleball courts or the YMCA, or simply unwinding in a rocking chair surrounded by nature. Evenings are perfect for gathering around the fire circle under the stars.
Enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen and a large propane grill for memorable meals at home—or head into town just minutes away for dining, drinks, and entertainment, including shops, live music, theater, festivals, axe throwing, and more. After a day of adventure, return to this relaxing haven - a place that truly feels like home away from home.
We hope you enjoy your stay at Opal Retreat.
