Just past our walkway sign on the path you enter Core of Engineer lands which surround all of Lake Hartwell and provides a private, secluded access area for your use. Summer water levels are 11-12' depth on the lake end of our dock.

Great Lake House for a Big Family
We met our family with 8 adults, two kids under 5, and two babies. There was plenty of space, the dock was a great place to hang out, and the outside space was great! The house was clean and very comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Great Place to Reconnect with Family
We had a great time enjoying the private dock, kayaks, and stand up paddle board. The house had ample space to hang out, including a great deck off the back of the house. The firepit was a nice place to enjoy each other’s company in the evening. We felt very fortunate to find this property to suit our large family.

Overall Great Stay
The listing says there is a hot tub, no hot tub on property. We were a bit disappointed. Other than the lack of hot tub everything was great. Well stocked, clean, and spacious. Our little group had a wonderful time visiting with family and relaxing here. There was even a Christmas tree set up, we took some family photos around it.

Great lake access for multiple family vacation.
Three families (6 adults, 7 kids ages 2-12) stayed for a summer week here and had a blast. Spent most of our time during the day at the dock or on the water. Perfect, quiet cove is 5 minutes by car or boat to Friendship Boat Ramp if you have a boat. Dock is nice with covered boat slip. We also used their kayaks and SUP all day every day. Yes, it's a steep walk up from the lake to the house, but that's true of most Hartwell houses, and the beautiful Foothills are a big part of the beauty of the lake. Great waterfalls and hiking within an hour away. Lots of recreation areas on the lake as well if you don't have a boat. House is great for families. Main floor has nice master and master bath along with main living area and kitchen. We spent most of our time here. Upstairs only has one bathroom for the three bedrooms and is a little dated, but there is a lot of space up there and is very comfortable. Bottom floor is it's own apartment with small kitchen, master bedroom and bath along with 2 smaller living areas with pull out couches and the 1/2 bath. Easy parking for at least 4 cars, and there was even a place for us to keep our boat trailer out of the way. Lots of other great things - the listing very accurately describes the house and what to expect. Owners were very easy to reach and very responsive to our requests.

Great stay, despite weather challenges
The property was exactly what we wanted. Clean, comfortable, functional, and lots of privacy to relax and enjoy a weekend without neighbors on top of you. Hurricane Helene came through while we were there, but the house held up great and the casement windows throughout let us regulate the temperature. It took a minute, but we found the emergency candles and were able to enjoy the evenings and grill out for food. Would 10 of 10 stay there again.

Great stay at Lake Hartwell!
Lots of room for the whole family or multiple families! Short, easy walk to the lake and this location is practically on a sand bar so you stand or swim; your choice! House has everything you need and plenty of bathrooms. Not too far from Clemson but not right downtown so plan accordingly for food and restaurants.

Family Vacation on Lake Hartwell
We had a great time the first week of August at Friendship Cove. Friendship Cove fit our family of 12 perfectly with its six bedrooms. The lake inlet was perfect for our kids to kayak, paddleboard and jump off the dock as it seemed we had it to ourselves. Owners recommended Clemson Marina where we rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed an afternoon on a different part of the lake. The large dinner table enabled us to all sit at one table for dinner together. This week was a memory maker for us, a vacation we will not forget.

Family Reunion Lake Vacation
This house amd location has a lot to offer and we have many positive things to say. This was a great house to stay as it accommodated our needs and everyone had a place of their own to rest at the end of the day. The owners were very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. The location was great, we visited Clemson university and the city of Greenville- highly recommend. We rented a boat from the Clemson marina and that was a great experience, we even had dinner there one night at the grill. The water toys they had at the house were a great extra and we used them all! Just few things that could be improved upon. The house was not as cleanly as I had anticipated, the counters needed a good wipe down as well as the kitchen floor and refrigerator. There were crumbs in the utensil drawers. If you have older family or friends staying here, know that the access to the dock is not easlisy accessible for them especially if they have balance/stability issues. We had to help my 77 year old mom up and down each trip to and from the dock.

Awesome trip!
We had a great time staying at Friendship Cove. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, as well as trips to Oasis Ranch, Tallulah Gorge, Toccoa Falls and Chatooga Ridge zip line . Our family of 14 had plenty of room in this beautiful home. We really love Lake Hartwell and this whole area!
