Great time
House was great. We had a lot of fun. I would rent this house again. Slightly disappointed that I was not able to put my boat in the slip/dock due to the dock not being pushed out. I even messaged the owner about the boat before I booked the trip.

Nice and relaxing
This home was perfect for relaxing, playing cards, eating on the covered patio, just hanging out and unwinding. All great things to do when it’s too chilly to be near the lake. We chose to visit the Hartwell Animal Safari as a local activity. Super fun thing to do and hilarious!

Gorgeous setting
Quiet, peaceful, beautiful setting from just about every room in the house. Extremely well equipped, we lacked nothing. We loved the pool with a diving board. Pool furniture needs to be replaced. Only 2 back elements worked on the stove. Only half of the hot tub jets worked. Other than that, this place was spectacular and I would definitely return.

Great Family weekend getaway
This house is absolutely amazing. Exceeded our expectations. Cleanest property and best stocked kitchen we have ever stayed in with VRBO. The pool and hot tub most enjoyable and the view from the lake shore was beautiful! The host was very easy to communicate with and always answered in a timely manner. We look forward to another stay here in our future.

Heaven in Hartwell
This is a fabulous large home on the lake in Hartwell. There is plenty of room for multiple people to stay and also to spread out so you never feel crowded. The amenities are great and the hidden game room is a lot of fun! We came for our daughter’s college graduation from Clemson and while it is about an hour away from the school, that turned out to be nice because we were able to get away from all the crowds of people. The house is located on a quiet street and the supermarket, gas station, and other stores are only a 3-4 mile drive down the road. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing stay :)

A little slice of heaven
Beautiful property and a well-maintained home. Our family had a fantastic time at the lakehouse. The house is ideal for those who love hosting and being in nature. Our son had a blast outdoors, playing by the pool, hot tub, and game room. We would certainly come back. Thank you for hosting us.

Fun time by the lake
There were twelve of us and the property was ideal inside and outside. The inside was fitted to a very high standard and a bonus was a large, very well equipped games room, which was great fun in the evenings. Outside, the seating area / BBQ kitchen was perfect on a warm evening and the pool area was easily big enough to accommodate all of us and overlooked the lake. We had a great time.
