Beautiful Home
There were afew items that needed repaired so we took pictures and videos of those items so you would not charge us for those things that were broken before we arrived. I made it a point that all members of our were aware of of all your requests on how to treat your home
We just wish whoever was before us did the same
. The grill was terribly dirty so we had to pick up some disposable grill plates to make it usable
The handle on the stove was coming off and one of the refrigerator crisping boxes were broke. Also there was the lower set of stairs rung that was broken at the top was sticking out. A couple of the guys in our group fixed
the oven handle and the stair rung on the decks lower stairsad sllower runkwaware of

Perfect Family Vacation Spot
This lake house was perfect for our family vacation. It's on a quiet spot on lake Hartwell and is very close to the downtown area of Hartwell. Everyday was spent at the dock swimming and fishing. The house is very well stocked with kitchen appliances and bedding. The host was very responsive to my messages and gave detailed instructions on everything. We will definitely be back.

Great weekend of downtime
This house allowed several generations of family to come together for a long weekend and really not leave the house. There were gathering spaces on the main floor and lower level, there was plenty of space outside for the littles to roam, and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils, dishware, and small appliances. Thank you for opening your home!

Fall Break Getaway
We had such an amazing few days at this property. Our college girls were able to meet us for the long weekend. The location is close to town and Hartwell has such a cute downtown area. We kayaked a little, but just enjoyed being together and relaxing. We walked/ran miles and miles over the few days we were there. The only complaint we had was the lack of washcloths. There was one per bathroom. Other than that, we had a great trip!!!

Room for Everyone
This property was all we needed for our annual getaway with friends. we had 3 couples and 5 kids. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep and hang out. We enjoyed the fire pit, the screened porch and made several meals in the kitchen.
The dock is very private with little activity. We used the kayaks to row up the cove which ended in a creek and saw wildlife. We enjoyed swimming around the dock which has 6-8 feet of water. We rented a pontoon boat and was able to pull it right up to the dock. Lovely stay and would definitely stay again!

Wonderful location for family vacation
The property was quiet and beautiful. Our children loved swimming and fishing off the dock. The swing on the dock was my personal favorite! House was wonderfully equipped and was the perfect size for vacation with extended family. The weather was a bit rainy so the screened in porch was perfect for enjoying the outside weather without getting drenched! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

Beautiful House & Location
The house is adorable and spacious! The house is tastefully decorated, clean, and the kitchen has all of the utensils and appliances you would need.
We were only in town for 2 nights for my grandma's funeral so we didn't get to enjoy all of the amenities , but we will hopefully be back in the future.
The hosts were very responsive to messages prior to booking and when I had a question at check-in. We sat at the dock in the afternoon and it was so beautiful & peaceful!
We really loved the house and the location (close to town and ON the lake)! If you need a rental in this area...book this house now!

A nice, relaxing time with family and friends
Gary was great! We had some changes and he was very accommodating even before we arrived. The house was everything the listing said it was. The kitchen was really well stocked for 8 of us to cook 3 meals a day. The fire pit was so nice, and the dock was perfect for my husbands boat! The game room had everything the kids needed to keep them entertained. We had a nice, relaxing New Years and would definitely stay here again!

Great Family Christmas!
My entire family of 10 was able to come together with us for Christmas. The home had plenty of space and was perfect for us. It was a beautiful home in a great location. Although we visited in winter, we have made plans to return in the summer for the fabulous lake access!
