Good relaxing vacation.
The bathrooms (toilets, tub/shower) could have been cleaned a little better, but overall it was a great trip. Nice house and great location. Saw deer around the property nearly everyday, and of course the kids loved that.

Great getaway
We wanted a big house to get away for NY weekend to relax, eat, watch football, and spend time. The home was perfect. Plenty of room to spread out and the views off the back are awesome from every level. It was very well equipped and we had everything we need. The area is nice as we walked and ran the connecting roads.

This booking saved our wedding!
Was super impressed to find this available only two weeks out from our wedding after the cabin we had booked 10 months before cancelled on us! Anthony was quick to respond when we had one small issue, and corrected it immediately. House was clean and easy to find, but heads up, no super close stores! We enjoyed dinner at J Peters and Southern Hart Brewery! 10/10 would stay again!

Very nice place
We stayed here as a group of four couples while visiting family in Hartwell. This house was perfect for us. It is big enough that everyone can find a place to be alone and also be together without being crowded. The beds were super comfortable. The private bathroom for each bedroom was very nice. The location is private and was very quiet. The decks are great to sit on and enjoy the view of the lake. The downstairs area has a pool table and table top shuffleboard that were lots of fun. There were two sets of laundry machines that made it easy for everyone to be able to conveniently do laundry. I definitely recommend it and would stay again!

Perfect relaxing vacation
This was probably our most favorite vacation ever. We went for the sole purpose of using our pontoon boat and enjoying the lake for a week. This is exactly what we did! The location of the house was great. The lot and property were gorgeous with deer, squirrels, lizards, and just so quiet and peaceful. We set up chairs on the dock and a hammock in the trees and truly relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. This house was definitely the most equipped of any rental we’ve ever stayed in. It has absolutely everything you need in the kitchen and throughout the house. It was also very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. We had 4 teenagers with us and they enjoyed the bunk beds and also the game room downstairs. We hope to be back next summer for sure!!

Great location
Large space. Love the shuffle board and pool table. Fishing on the dock was fun. House has lots of potential if it was upgraded. Fridge was not working properly (new fridge did not arrive). Shower in Master was out of order ( was scheduled to be fixed the week after we arrived). Housekeeper could have cleaned a lot more than she did.

Great rental property for a group
We had three couples (seniors) here for a week. The house is large and really secluded. Sitting on any of the three levels of deck you hear only birds (and owls!) and see only trees - no neighbors. We saw deer on the property every day. The dock is in a cove set back from the main channel, and is very calm. Unfortunately, the lake water level was down about four feet, so we didn’t do any swimming at the dock, but we did find a nice state park with a small beach. We were able to rent a pontoon at the local marina and really enjoyed the lake. The house was very clean and the kitchen is great. Very well outfitted with every pan and gadget you’d need. Loved the huge induction cooktop. The mattresses are really comfortable, and with en-suite king bedrooms on each floor we had a lot of privacy. The pool table was a fun feature! The back decks face East, so sunrises over the lake were beautiful. But be mindful that the top level master has no window treatments, so if you’re not a morning person you should bring a sleep mask! The owner is very responsive to any questions, and was able to accommodate our request for early access. I would definitely recommend this place.

Spacious home
This home is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen has everything you need to cook with. We rented it in hopes to get all my family together that live in the area as we live in a different state. We we're able to make that happen and had so much room which made for a very nice visit with everyone. We have saved this property and hope to stay here next year and every year after! Would love to stay during the summer and use the dock and play in the lake. Any questions or problems we had were answered and resolved very promptly!

Fantastic property!
We loved this house! We’re a group of four families who vacation together every summer and this house was perfect for us! Easy access to the lake and a game room downstairs helped keep our teens engaged (and off their devices!). There were a few issues that came up during our stay but Anthony was very quick to respond each time. The house is rural enough that we were away from noise and light pollution, but close enough to a few towns to go shopping when we needed to. And the deer! I definitely recommend Southern Gem for large family or friend groups!

Amazing location.
We stayed for the weekend and really enjoyed our stay. It was great to have so many king beds for us all to have our own rooms and the location on the lake is amazing. So peaceful. We spent most of our time down at the dock swimming and had a boat for the weekend. Our only concern was the house was no very clean when we stayed. One of the beds was covered with dead flies and also in the bathroom. Other than that it was a great stay.

Excellent home in excellent location
This place is huge and very clean with lots of amenities. The owner was quick to communicate and helpful with tips about the area. This time of year, the side of the cove gets a little shallow, but if you’re renting a pontoon boat it’s no problem, I suppose: there’s a covered dock and you can tie off sideways to the dock when it’s shallower. The nature around is amazing. We must have seen 100 deer in 4 days.
